Several members of the Mortimer family were summoned to Parliament during the reign of Edward I, thereby making them hereditary barons in the Peerage of England. The most important family with this surname were the lords of Wigmore, a marcher lordship on the borders of Herefordshire and Shropshire with Wales, living at Wigmore Castle. The second Baron Mortimer of Wigmore was created Earl of March. The others probably all belonged to juvenile branches of that family. *The Mortimers of Chirk had another marcher lordship, which was given to a younger brother of the first Baron Morimer of Wigmore. *The Mortimers of Richard's Castle were descended from the Mortimers of Attleborough, who had separated from the Wigmore family long before.〔Hopkinson and Speight, 135-40.〕 *Simon de Mortimer was summoned to parliament on 26 August 1296, but nothing more is known of that title. ==Feudal lords of Wigmore== *Roger de Mortemer had Mortemer Castle in Normandy *Ralph or Ranulph de Mortimer had Wigmore at the time of Domesday Book, and died in the 12th century. *Hugh de Mortimer I probably died c.1149 (but the genealogy is not quite certain). *Roger de Mortimer I, probably son of Hugh I, died 1153 *Hugh de Mortimer II, probably brother of Roger I, died c. 1181. *Roger Mortimer II, died 1214, son of Hugh II *Hugh Mortimer III, died 1127, son of Roger II *Ralph Mortimer II, died 1246, brother of Hugh III *Roger de Mortimer III, became 1st Baron Mortimer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baron Mortimer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
