• Notes

  Mortimer distinguished himself as early as September 1 344 (when he was o n l y f i f teen) in a great tournament at Hereford, in which the earls of A r u n d e l, Pembroke, Suffolk, and Warwick also took part; but it was Edwar d I I I ' s w ars in France which provided him with the opportunity to carve a m i l i t a ry reputation for himself. He crossed to France in 1346; was knig h t e d a t L a Hogue by the Black Prince on 12 July; fought alongside Edwar d I I I o n 2 6 A ugust; and for his laudable service was given livery of al l h i s l a n ds in Herefordshire and the Welsh marches on 6 September. He h ad t h e r e by set the pattern for the rest of his short career: that of mi lit a r y s e rvice to the king and the recovery of the family estates and d ig n i t y .
