[His wife, Jane, was a daughter of George (Neville), Lord Abergavenny (d. 1535) by his first wife, Joan Arundel. The marriage took place shortly after 8 July 1515. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 9, page 99:
Anthony Browne, Viscount Montagu (d. 1592):

His wife Maud was the daughter and heir of Henry, not Matthew, de la Mare, who was dead by 1265. In June or July 1280 Maud and Hawise, the wife of Robert le Veel, appear as daughters and coheirs of Joan de la Mare, deceased; Hawise was probably the daughter of Joan by a subsequent husband, Walter de la Hyde, to whom she was married by 1260.

Volume 9, page 143 and notes l and m:
Thomas de Monthermer (d.1340):

Evidence confirming that his wife, Margaret, was the widow of Henry Teyes (Lord Teyes) (ex. 1321). She was married to Thomas by 1330.

She may have married Sir John Radcliff around December 1405, and died in 1423 at Bordeaux.

MORTIMER of Chirk

Volume 9, page 254:
Roger de Mortimer (d. 1326):

His marriage to Lucy la Wafre presumably took place before 8 June 1286. According to the History of the Foundation and Founders of Wigmore Priory, Lucy was the daughter of Robert de Wafre.

Volume 9, page 254:
Roger de Mortimer (d. before Oct. 1333):

His wife Juliane survived him, and was living 5 April 1350. The History of the Foundation and Founders of Wigmore Priory calls her "Johanna de Tubervyle".

Volume 9, page 256 and notes a-d (as modified by volume 14):
The Mortimers of Tedstone Wafer (1347-1504):

Various corrections and additions.

MORTIMER of Richard's Castle

Volume 9, page 257, note i:
Hugh de Say (d. before Michaelmas 1190):

He and his wife Lucy also had a son Sir Gilbert.

Volume 9, page 258:
Hugh de Say (d. before Michaelmas 1197):

His widow's subsequent husband, named as Reynold in the text, was presumably the same man referred to in August 1204 as Roger de Aumu[n]devill'.

Volume 9, page 258:
Robert de Mortimer (d. 1219):

There is further evidence to confirm a close relationship between the Mortimers of Richard's Castle and Attleborough (and the Mortimers of Bec). It is suggested that Pernel de Mortimer was the widow of Robert de Mortimer of Essex (the father of Robert de Mortimer of Richard's Castle), and that this Robert was a younger son of Robert de Mortimer of Norfolk, the progenitor of the Mortimers of Attleborough.

Volume 9, pages 260 and 262:
Robert de Mortimer (d. 1219):

[Evidence suggests he had an earlier marriage, which produced a son Robert, who was living in 1232-3, but dead without issue by 1254. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 9, page 261, note a:
Margaret, daughter and heir of Hugh de Say (she d. apparently before Autumn 1242):

The suggestion that she had a sister named Lucy is incorrect; evidently Lucy was her paternal aunt.

MORTIMER or MORTEMER of Wigmore

Volume 9, page 268:
Ralph de Mortimer (d. after 1104):

There is evidence suggesting that he survived until at least 1115.

Volume 9, page 268:
Hugh de Mortimer, son of Ralph de Mortimer, the Domesday tenant:

[Evidence suggests he was born before 1100. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 9, pages 269 (and notes e, f, h and i) and 270 (and note a):
The successor(s) of Ralph de Mortimer:

Charter evidence supports the traditional pedigree, in which Ralph was succeeded by his son and heir Hugh, who survived until the 1180s, rather than the suggestion that there were two Hughs, father and son, with an elder brother Roger briefly intervening.

Volume 9, page 272 and note a:
Hugh de Mortimer:

He is said to have died on 26 February 1185, having become a canon of Wigmore, rather than by 1181.

Roger de Mortimer (d. 1214):

In 1212 he proffered 3,000 marks for the marriage of Walter de Beauchamp, not the marriage of the heir of Walter.

Volume 9, page 276 and note j:
Ralph de Mortimer (d. 1246):

[The parentage of his wife, Gladys, is discussed under Abergavenny. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 9, page 283 (as modified by volume 14) and note m:
Edmund de Mortimer (d. 1304):

Isolt, the wife of Walter de Balun and Hugh Audley, Lord Audley, was not a daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, but was a daughter of Roger le Rus or Rous. There is therefore no evidence to suggest that Edmund had an earlier wife before Margaret de Fenles. Edmund and Margaret also had a daughter Eleanor.

Edward (Blount), Lord Mountjoy (d.1475):

Volume 9, page 367 (as modified by volume 14):
