    [large-G675.FTW]

    REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: April 5 1264 Bran de Montfort leads defense of St. Andrew's Priory within the town & fights with suicidal bravery. The walls had been undermined by the Prior who was secretly in league with Prince Edward, & Bran was captured by some common soldiers. At that point William de Lusignan & Ralph de Mortimer rode up. Bran had just before taken part in the looting of de Mortimer's lands in Radnorshire. de Lusignan ordered his nephew Bran killed on the spot, but Dafydd ap Gruffydd rode up & intervened telling them Edward would be displeased to see his cousin Bran killed. de Lusignan attempts to argue but Philip Basset (who commanded the attackers) then rode up & commanded Bran be taken to Edward, and not to be escorted by de Lusignan or de Mortimer, as they would arrange an "accident" for Bran. Bran was congratulated for his gallant bravery by Edward & then sent to King Henry who moved him to Windsor Castle. In November 1264, the Marchers Roger de Mortimer & Roger de Clifford rebelled again (had done so in July 1264). Again Llywelyn ap Gruffydd allied with Simon de Montfort & the rebels surrendered at Worcester Dec 12 1264. Mortimer & Clifford were exiled to Ireland for a year. At the Battle of Evesham (Aug 4 1265) de Mortimer helped to trap Montfort by converging with Prince Edward upon Montfort's vastly outnumbered force. Before the battle began, several thousand Welsh troops loaned to Montfort by his ally Llywelyn ap Gruffydd deserted Montfort; de Mortimer & his men methodically hunted them down throughout the surrounding countryside & cold bloodedly murdered almost all of them. Mortimer sent Montfort's head back to Wigmore Castle to his wife as a gift.

    REF: Sharon Kay Penman "The Reckoning" : King Edward launched his war on Llywelyn ap Gruffydd the Last Prince of Wales on 12 Nov 1276. He did not personally take part in the campaign until the following summer, but de Mortimer scored a mjaor success in the early phases of the war, who in April 1277 siezed Llywelyn's castle at Dolforwyn & restored Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn to power in Powys (ap Gwenwynwyn had sconspired with Llywelyn's brother Dafydd to murder Llywelyn and upon discovery had fleed to England). Mortimer ultimately made an alliance with Llywelyn ap Gruffydd against Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn. When Llywelyn was goaded by his feckless brother Dafydd into Wales' last fatal war with England & Edward "Longshanks" on Palm Sunday 1282, Roger de Clifford was made Edward's warlord for mid-Wales, one of three Welsh commands; however, he died before the war could successfully be prosecuted.
