This feudal lord, like his predecessors, was in constant strife with the Welsh. He married 1st Millicent Ferrers, daughter of Robert, 4th Earl of Derby; 2nd, Isabel Ferrers, sister of Hugh of Oakham in Rutlandshire. He inherited all of Hugh's lands and by his 2nd wife had Ralph, Robert and Philip. He died in 1215 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Hugh, son of his first wife, who died 1227, and was in turn succeeded by his half brother Ralph de Mortimer.
