27. Roger de Mortimer, who had co. Meath in Ireland.2 In 1308 Roger and his wife (heiress of co Meath) went to Ireland and took seisin of her lands there. In 1316 he was defeated by Edward Bruce in Ireland, but was appointed by Edward III LordLieutenant of Ireland; Walter de Lacy and his 3 bros. In 1318 he was recalled to England; and, in the dispute between the King and the Despensers on the one hand, and Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, on the other. Mortimer seems to have tried to keep a middle course.
In 1320, in a private war in S Wales between the Earl of Hereford and the elder Hugh Despenser, Roger and his Uncle Roger Mortimer of Chirk took sides with Hereford; the King summoned Roger and Hereford, but they refused to come because the younger Hugh Despenser was with the King. In 1321 Lancaster and the “Good Peers” marched on London; the King yielded, the Despensers were banished, and the Mortimers received a formal pardon. Later, after an altercation over Leeds Castle (see FitzGerald 25), the Mortimers, being disappointed at receiving no help from the Earl of Lancaster, surrendered to the King and were sent to the Tower. When Lancaster was overthrown in 1322, the Despensers returned to power, the Mortimers were tried and condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to perpetual imprisonment. Two years later, in Aug 1324, Roger escaped from the Tower; the guards having been drugged; and, crossing the Thames, rode to Dover and embarked to France where he was welcomed by Charles IV. In 1325 Edward's Queen Isabel, sister of Charles IV, crossed over to France and was later joined by her son Prince Edward. Mortimer became her lover as well as her adviser, and at the end of the year they went to Flanders where Prince Edward was betrothed to Philippa of Hainault, and men and money were raised for an attack on England. On 9-24-1326 the Queen, with Mortimer, landed near Ipswich, and were joined by Henry (brother of Thomas), Earl of Lancaster and other enemies of the Despensers. In Oct the elder Despenser was captured, tried by Lancaster and Mortimer and hanged forthwith. On Nov 16 the King, the younger Despenser, and Edmund FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel were captured. The next day Mortimer ordered the execution of Arundel and on Nov 24 he and Lancaster and Kent condemned the younger Despenser and hanged him on a gallows 50 feet high. After Parliament deposed Edward II and made his son, age 14, King. Roger as the Queen's paramour, ruled England; and Edward II was killed.
Enriched by the lands of Arundel and the Despensers, Mortimer was created Earl of March in 1328 (March is from Old English mearc, boundary, in this case between England and Wales), and never ceased to add to his possessions. But Edward III, who had long chaffed at the restraints imposed on him, secretly headed a conspiracy to get rid of the tyrant. The governor of Nottingham Castle, where Isabel, Mortimer and the King lodged, revealed to William de Montagu, Earl of Salisbury a secret passage whereby Mortimer's Welsh guards could be evaded. Mortimer was overpowered and arrested by order of the King, in spite of the Queen-mother's appeal. “Beal fitz, beal fitz, eiez pittie de gentil Mortymer.” He was taken to London, impeached and condemned by Parliament, and all his lands and honors forfeited. On 29 Nov 1330 (age 43) he was hanged at Tyburn and his body left on the gallows for 2 days.
