Roger de Mortimer, 4th Earl of March and 6th Earl of Ulster (11 April 1374 20 July 1398) was the heir presumptive to Richard II of England between 1385 and 1398.Mortimer was son of the powerful Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March, and Philippa, 5th Countess of Ulster, Countess of March and Ulster. His mother was the only issue of Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence, the second surviving son of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault. Thus, Roger Mortimer was Richard II's heir presumptive.Mortimer's father died whilst on campaign in Munster, Ireland on 27 December 1381. His mother then died, aged only twenty six, less than a month later on 5 January 1382. Mortimer therefore succeeded to his title and estates aged only seven. His hereditary influence and position caused him to be appointed to the lord-lieutenancy of Ireland on 24 January 1382. His uncle Sir Thomas Mortimer acted as his deputy. This experiment did not work well and Mortimer was replaced by Philip de Courtenay the next year.
