Edmund Mortimer 
Edmund was born on November 6th, 1391 in New Forest, Hampshire, England. Edmund's father was Roger De+ Mortimer and his mother was Alianore De+ Holland. His paternal grandparents were Edmund De+ Mortimer and Philippa+ Plantagenet; his maternal grandparents were Thomas De+ Holland and Alice+ Fitzalan. He had a sister named Anne De+. He was the younger of the two children. He had three half-sisters named Alice+, Joan De+ and Joyce De+. He died at the age of 33 on January 18th, 1425 in Trim Castle, Meath, Ireland. He was buried in Collegiate Church, Stoke Clare, Suffolk, England.General Notes
"In the end he was killed in Ireland, just as his father had been, leaving his seven year-old son all his titles and the responsibility of succeeding to the throne. But Richard II was deposed the following year and Henry IV took power. There were many who wanted to see Henry IV replaced with young Edmund Mortimer, but Edmund knew which side his bread was buttered and told Henry of any strategy he discovered to make him king. Even his own uncle, another Edmund Mortimer, plotted to put the young 5th Earl of March on the throne. This Edmund was starved to death in Harlech Castle and his wife and daughters murdered. Such were the times. "
"Edmund himself never had any children. Although Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, for many years he resisted the obligation to go there, where his father and grandfather had died. He was right to be suspicious. In 1424 he was ordered to put down an Irish rebellion - and when his representative proved incapable of so doing, he was ordered there in person. Thus he too perished in Ireland. With him died the last of the male line of the Mortimers. His sister Anne, who had married the Earl of Cambridge, became heiress to all the estates of the Mortimer family and their titles."
