In 1352, Roger was again employed in France and obtained, in two years later, a reversal, in parliament, of the judgment against his grandfather, upon the ground of the illegality of that sentence, which had been given without oyer of his defence; and he thereupon assumed the style of Earl of March.

Modern scholarship has cast doubt on this however; it is now almost certain that the ex-king was not buried in 1327 but secretly maintained alive on Mortimer's orders until his fall from grace in 1330 (see English Historical Review, vol CXX, no. 489).
However, although in military terms he was far more competent than the Despensers, his ambition was troubling to all.

 Berkshire History: Stratfield Mortimer
The Mortimer part of the place-name stems from the Lords of the Manor, the Mortimer family, the Earls of March from Wigmore in Herefordshire.
Stratfield Mortimer probably saw troops from both sides passing through the village during the Civil War with major activity centred on the besieged town of Reading and the two battles fought on the important highways through Newbury.
Mortimer Common, where the villagers once freely grazed their livestock, was enclosed for cultivation in 1802, mostly with the consent of the parish residents, although the vicar protested.

Roger, was seigneur of the castle and township of Mortemer sur Eaulne, a place situated on a hill which had at some point been surrounded by an ox- bow lake of the River Eaulne.
Glorious as this family history is, it probably has nothing to do with me. The later Earls of March did not leave sons who sired families which have since passed into political obscurity.
It is much more likely that the majority of the Mortimers alive today descend from the younger sons of the younger sons of the earlier (pre 1300) Mortimer branches.

His assumumption that the relationship between Isabella and Roger was a love affair rather than a political marriage of convenience seems both a jump too far and irrelevant (particularly as he specifically avoids speculation as to whether or not Edward himself was gay).
Mortimer's account of the actions of his namesake is gripping, exciting and at the same time wince-inducing.
