  General Notes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Mortimer_(1302%E2%80%931331)
Sir Edmund Mortimer (1302/1303 '96 16 December 1331) was the eldest son of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville. By his wife Elizabeth de Badlesmere he was the father of Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March. Though Edmund survived his father by one year, he did not inherit his father's lands and titles as they were forfeited to the Crown and his son only reacquired them gradually.


Edmund married Elizabeth DE BADELSMERE Countess of Northampton, daughter of Bartholomew DE BADELSMERE , 1st Baron and Margaret DE CLARE, on 27 Jun 1316. (Elizabeth DE BADELSMERE Countess of Northampton was born in 1313 in Castle Badlesmere, Kent, England, died on 8 Jun 1356 and was buried in Black Friars, London, 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)
