Roger was summoned to Parliament as Baron Mortimer of Wigmore from 1348-1354. This nobleman at his father's death was only three years old and during his minority his castles in the Marches of Wales were committed to the custody of William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton, who had married his mother. In the 20th of Edward III, he accompanied the King into France and then received the honour of Knighthood, in 1346, when he was knighted by Edward, the Black Prince, on whom that honor had just been bestowed by the king. About 1348 he became Knight of the Garter and Being One of the Original Founders of the Order. About 1352 he was in a similar expedition and in 1354 as a reward for his valiant services he obtained a reversal of the attainder of his grandfather, and he was restored to the Earldom of March. He married Philippe, daughter of William de Montague, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his wife, Katherine, daughter of William, Lord Grandison. He died Feb. 26, 1359-60. His wife died Jan. 5, 1381-2. They had Edmund, his successor, and a daughter. (Burke says, He died at Romera in Burgundy in 1359, being then Commander of the English forces, and was a Knight of the Garter.)
