  General Notes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_de_Badlesmere,_Countess_of_Northampton
Elizabeth de Badlesmere, Countess of Northampton (1313 '96 8 June 1356) was the wife of two English noblemen, Sir Edmund Mortimer and William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton. She was a co-heiress of her brother Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere.

At the age of eight she was sent to the Tower of London along with her mother, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere and her four siblings after the former maltreated Queen consort Isabella by ordering an assault upon her and refusing her admittance to Leeds Castle.


Elizabeth married William DE BOHUN 1st Earl of Northampton in 1335. (William DE BOHUN 1st Earl of Northampton was born in 1312 and died on 16 Sep 1360.)


Elizabeth next married Sir Edmund MORTIMER, son of Roger MORTIMER , 3d Baron Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan DE GENEVILLE, on 27 Jun 1316. (Sir Edmund MORTIMER was born 1302 or 1303 in Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire, England and died on 16 Dec 1331 in Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire, England.)


  Marriage Notes:

On 27 June 1316, when she was just three years old, Elizabeth married her first husband Sir Edmund Mortimer (died 16 December 1331)[4] eldest son and heir of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan de Geneville. The marriage contract was made on 9 May 1316, and the particulars of the arrangement between her father and prospective father-in-law are described in Welsh historian R. R. Davies' Lords and Lordship in the British Isles in the late Middle Ages. Lord Badlesmere paid Roger Mortimer the sum of £2000, and in return Mortimer endowed Elizabeth with five rich manors for life and the reversion of other lands.[5] The marriage, which was not consummated until many years afterward, produced two sons:

Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March (11 November 1328 Ludlow Castle- 26 February 1360), married Philippa Montagu, daughter of William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Catherine Grandison, by whom he had issue, including Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March).
John Mortimer (died young)
