Robert de Mortimer * 1176, of Essex and Richard's Castle, Herefordshire, England, + 5 Jul 1219. He married Margaret de Say 1210, daughter of Hugh de Say and Mabel Marmion.

From the time of his marriage in 1210, by which he acquired the barony of Burford and Richard's Castle, he was active in all the duties of a Lord Marcher, and also in that year was in the King's service in Ireland. In 1214 and 1215 he was again abroad with the King, to whom he remained loyal throughout the troubles with the Barons. He was with King John at Hereford in 1216, and took part in the Council at Bristol within one month of that King's death. The last order issued to him of whom there is record was in Jan 1218/19, when he was required to assist the sheriff of Hereford in taking the castles of Grosmont, etc., from Reynold de Braose. He was still living in Easter term,1219, but was deceased before 5 Jul. He married Margaret de Say, widow of Hugh de Ferrieres, and after his death she married, thirdly, William de Stuteville, and appears to have died before the autumn of 1242.
