      Edmund Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore, married Margaret, daughter of Sir William de Fiennes in the 10th Edward I (1282). He was the son of Roger Mortimer and Maud Braose. In 1283, doing his homage, he received his father's lands. He was afterwards constantly employed in the Welsh wars and was summoned to parliament as a baron from June 8, 1294, and from June 23, 1295, to June 2, 1302.
      His lordship was mortally wounded in 1303 at the battle of Buelt, against the Welsh, and dying almost immediately at Wigmore Castle, was buried in the abbey there. He left issue, Roger, his successor; John, accidentally slain in a tournament at Worcester in 1319 by John de Leybourne, being not more than eighteen years of age; Hugh, a priest, rector of the church at Old Radnor; Walter, a priest, rector of Kingston; Edmund, a priest, rector of Hodnet, and treasurer of the cathedral at York; Maud, married to Theobald de Verdon; Joan and Elizabeth, nuns. His lordship was succeeded by his eldest son, Roger Mortimer, 2nd baron.
