Beatrice Mortimer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beatrice Mortimer (* between 1315 and 1321; † 1383 ) was an English noblewoman.

Beatrice Mortimer came from the Anglo-Norman family Mortimer . She was a younger daughter of Roger Mortimer of Wigmore and his wife Joan de Geneville . Her father rebelled against King Edward II from 1321 , but had to surrender in January 1322. The king had the Mortimer family arrested, but because Beatrice was probably still a toddler, unlike most of her older siblings, she escaped imprisonment.

Her father was able to overthrow the king at the end of 1326 and was replaced by the new king Edward III. the real ruler of England. On May 29, 1328 Beatrice and her sister Agnes were married in a double wedding in Hereford . Possibly the wedding was mixed up, because in the summer of 1329 another double wedding of her sisters Joan and Katherine took place in Hereford . Since Beatrice married Edward , the son and heir of the Earl of Norfolk , their wedding could not have taken place in 1328, but only in 1329 after her father had been promoted to Earl of March .

Edward of Brotherton, Beatrice's husband, died in 1337, the marriage had remained childless. Thereupon Beatrice married Thomas Brewose, 1st Baron Brewose . She had several children with him, including:

  • Beatrice de Braose ⚭ William de Say, 2nd Baron Say
  • Sir John de Brewose (around 1339–1366 / 67) ⚭ Elizabeth Montagu
  • Sir Thomas de Brewose (around 1352-1395)
