RALPH DE MORTIMER, brother and heir. In 1216 he had been one of a deputati
on sent by King John to William de Briwere, after his forced adhesion to t
he Barons during their occupation of London, to arrange for his retu
rn to the King's service; and in September 1217 he had witnessed at Lambe
th the articles drawn up between Henry III and Louis of France. On 23 Nove
mber 1227 he gave £100 as relief for the lands of his brother Hugh, and t
he King took his homage; and on 8 July 1229, for his faithful servic
e, he was pardoned all except £500 of the debts of his father and brothe
r. In October 1230 he obtained a charter for a fair at Knighton and free w
arren at Stratfield, and in 1231 he was made custodian of Clun Castle a
nd honour during pleasure. In June 1233, with the other Lords Marchers, Ra
lph exchanged hostages with the King de fideli servicio, quousque regnum s
it ita securatum quod firma pax sit in regno Anglie. On 7 November followi
ng he attested a charter of Henry III at Hereford. He was present on 28 Ja
nuary 1235/6 at the confirmation of Magna Carta at Westminster, and in t
he same year he and the other Lords Marchers claimed the right to find a
nd bear the silvered spears which supported the canopies held over the Ki
ng and Queen in their Coronation procession; but the right of the Baro
ns of the Cinque Ports to carry both canopies being allowed, the Marcher
s' claim was rejected as frivolous. In 1241 he was first of the pledg
es to the King for his sister-in-law Senana, wife of Griffith ap Llewely
n; but in August that year Meredith ap Howel and the other Welsh lor
ds of Kerry made a permanent peace with Henry III, whether they shou
ld be at war with Ralph de Mortimer or not. In June 1242 he was summon
ed to come to the King's aid in Gascony as soon as possible. He marrie
d, in 1230, Gladys (Gladusa) Duy, or Dark-eyed, daughter of Llewelyn AP JO
RWORTH, by his 2nd wife, Joan (illegitimate daughter of KiNG JOHN), and wi
dow of Reynold DE BRAOSE [died June 1228]. He died 6 August 1246, and w
as buried at Wigmore. His widow died in 1251. [CP 9:275-6], , , ,
