It is a well-known fact that Edmund Mortimer, third earl of March, acquired a vast property portfolio by virtue of his marriage to Philippa, daughter of Lionel of Clarence, in 1368. Edmund, however, not only gained a sizeable Irish lordship, he also inherited a complex relationship with the Irish aristocracy. This talk explores the relationship between the earls of March and the Irish aristocracy. It considers to what extent the Mortimers sought to emulate their de Burgh predecessors in their dealings with the Irish nobility and explores, where the evidence permits, their engagement with the literary and political culture of Gaelic Ireland.
Simon Egan lectures on Ireland in the long Middle Ages (c.1100-c.1600) at Queen's University Belfast. Prior to this he worked at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Glasgow. Recent publications include articles on lordship in late medieval Ireland and Scotland in Irish Historical Studies and the English Historical Review. He is also the editor of a forthcoming collection entitled Beyond the Pale and Highland Line: The Gaelic Irish and Scottish World, c.1400-c.1630 with Manchester University Press.
