Edmund was taken prisoner by Owain Glyn Dr, Prince of Wales at the Battle of Bryn Glas fought at Melienydd, Radnorshire 12 June 1402. King Henry IV of England refused permission to pay a ransom, in consequence of which Edmund joined the rebellion of Owain Glyn DWr. He married about 30 Nov. 1402 KATHERINE FERCH OWAIN GLYN DWR, daughter of Owain Glyn Dŵt, Prince of Wales, by Margaret, daughter of David Hanmer, Knt. They had one son, Lionel, and three daughters. In 1404 King Henry IV granted the Welsh lands of Edmund Mortimer, then in rebellion, to Thomas Carew, Knt. for life. SIR EDMUND MORTIMER died during the Siege of Harlech Castle (or immediately thereafter) apparently in Jan. 1409. His widow, Katherine, and their children, together with her mother, were taken to London and held in custody by the king.
