Roger was sent to be fostered in the household of his uncle, Roger Mortimer of Chirk whose claim to fame was that he had carried the head of 'Llyweyln the Last' (Llyweyln Yr Ail) to King Edward I in 1282 after he had been slain in a skirmish near Builth.
Roger's resolve was stiffened by the news that his uncle Lord Mortimer of Chirk had died in the Tower of London whilst in the custody of Hugh Despenser.
Roger was not cheered by the news of the chaos in London, rather he feared for the lives of his sons in the Tower, hence they sent a bodyguard there to help protect them, though they felt they couldn't turn their entire army round and return to London.
