View this person on FamilySearch to see this information. Additional information: LifeSketch: Anne Mortimer was born at New Forest, Westmeath, one of her family's Irish estates, on 27 December 1390, the eldest of the four children of Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March, and Lady Eleanor Holland. She had two brothersed c.1413), and a sister, Eleanor, who married Sir Edward de Courtenay (d. 5 December 1419), and had no issue. Anne Mortimer's mother was the daughter of Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent, and Lady Alice FitzAlan, the daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel, and his second wife, Eleanor, daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster, grandson of King Henry III. Thomas Holland was the grandson and senior heir to Joan of Kent. Anne Mortimer was thus a descendant of Edward I and Henry III through her mother, and more importantly, a descendant of King Edward III through her grandparents, Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March, and Philippa of Clarence, daughter of King Edward III's second surviving son, Lionel of Antwerp. Because King Richard II had no issue, Anne's father, Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March, was heir presumptive during his lifetime, and at his death in Ireland on 20 July 1398 his claim to the crown passed to his eldest son, Edmund. On 30 September 1399, the fortunes of Anne Mortimer and her brothers and sister changed entirely. Richard II was deposed by the Lancastrians led by Henry Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV and had his own son, the future King Henry V, recognised as heir apparent at his first Parliament. Anne's brothers, Edmund and Rogertles, but were treated honourably, and for part of the time brought up with the King's own children, John and Philippa. According to Griffithsheir mother until her death in 1405, were not well treated by Henry IV, and were described as 'destitute' after her death. http://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/yorkclaim.htm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_of_Conisburgh,_3rd_Earl_of_Cambridge Married to Richard Earl of Cambridge, mother of Richard Duke of York who was the father of King Edward IV and King Richard III itleOfNobility: Countess of Cambridge
