Roger was born in 1231 in Cwmaron Castle, Wales.1 Roger's father was Earl of Wigmore Ralph de Mortimer and his mother was Gwladys (Ddu, The Dark Eyed) verch Llewelyn. His paternal grandparents were Roger de Mortimer and Isabel Millicent de Ferrers; his maternal grandparents were Llewelyn (The Great) ap Iorweth and Tangwystl verch Llywarch. He had four brothers and a sister, named Hugh, John, Peter, Ralph and Maud. He was the third oldest of the six children. He had a half-sister named Sibyl. He died at the age of 51 on October 27th, 1282 in Wigmore, Herefordshire, England.1 General Notes
Roger Mortimer (1231-1282), 1st Baron Wigmore, was the son of Ralph de Mortimer and his wife, Gwladus Ddu - daughter of Llywelyn the Great. He married into another Marcher family, that of de Braose. He was at times an enemy, at times an ally, of Llywelyn the Last, and it was as a result of his double-dealing that Llywelyn was lured into the ambush that killed him.
