Hugh Mortimer

No surviving issue

From page 62 of Collections for a History of Staffordshire, Volume 2

Hugh Mortimer, Elizabeth's son by her first marriage, was killed at the battle of Shrewsbury on 21 July 1403, and left no issue, his first cousin once removed, John Cressy, being his next heir.2 How his interest in the lands at Weston under the limitations of the deed of 1377 became vested in the descendants of Adam de Peshale does not appear, but the latter probably bought up his step-son's interest.

• 3 Inq. 15 Ric. II, No. 46. As William le Mortimer was over 26 years old at the death of his grandfather Sir Hugh Mortimer in 1372, and Elizabeth ap Rees is described as only " 30 and more" at the death of her father in 1369 (Inq. 46 Ed. III, No. 41, and Inq. 43 Ed. III, 1st part, No. 4), it is presumable that he was not her own son. Her own son Hugh Mortimer is described as 24 years old and more at the death of his brother William in 1391.
