  REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: A pril 5 1264 Bran de Montfort
  leads defense of St. Andrew's Priory within the town & fights with
  suicidal bravery.  The walls had been undermined by the Pr ior who was
  secretly in league with Prince Edward, & Bran was captured by som e common
  soldiers.  At that point William de Lusignan & Ralph de Mortimer rod e
  up.  Bran had just before taken part in the looting of de Mortimer's
  land s in Radnorshire.  de Lusignan ordered his nephew Bran killed on the
  spot, bu t Dafydd ap Gruffydd rode up & intervened telling them Edward
  would be disple ased to see his cousin Bran killed.  de Lusignan attempts
  to argue but Philip Basset (who commanded the attackers) then rode up &
  commanded Bran be taken to Edward, and not to be escorted by de Lusignan
  or de Mortimer, as they woul d arrange an "accident" for Bran.  Bran was
  congratulated for his gallant bra very by Edward & then sent to King Henry
  who moved him to Windsor Castle.  In November 1264, the Marchers Roger de
  Mortimer & Roger de Clifford rebelled a gain (had done so in July 1264).
  Again Llywelyn ap Gruffydd allied with Simon de Montfort & the rebels
  surrendered at Worcester Dec 12 1264.  Mortimer & C lifford were exiled to
  Ireland for a year. At the Battle of Evesham (Aug 4 12 65) de Mortimer
  helped to trap Montfort by converging with Prince Edward upon Montfort's
  vastly outnumbered force.  Before the battle began, several thous and
  Welsh troops loaned to Montfort by his ally Llywelyn ap Gruffydd deserted
  Montfort; de Mortimer & his men methodically hunted them down throughout
  t he surrounding countryside & cold bloodedly murdered almost all of them.
  Mort imer sent Montfort's head back to Wigmore Castle to his wife as a
  gift.
  REF: Sharon Kay Penman "The Reckoning" :  King Edward launched his war on
  Llywely n ap Gruffydd the Last Prince of Wales on 12 Nov 1276.  He did not
  personally take part in the campaign until the following summer, but de
  Mortimer scored a mjaor success in the early phases of the war, who in
  April 1277 siezed Lly welyn's castle at Dolforwyn & restored Gruffydd ap
  Gwenwynwyn to power in Pow ys (ap Gwenwynwyn had sconspired with
  Llywelyn's brother Dafydd to murder Lly welyn and upon discovery had fleed
  to England).  Mortimer ultimately made an alliance with Llywelyn ap
  Gruffydd against   Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn.  When Ll ywelyn was goaded by
  his feckless brother Dafydd into Wales' last fatal war w ith England &
  Edward "Longshanks"  on Palm Sunday 1282, Roger de Clifford was made
  Edward's warlord for mid-Wales, one of th
