Today in history, January 18, 1425: the death of Edmund Mortimer, 5th Earl of March: 

"Edmund de Mortimer, 5th Earl of March and 7th Earl of Ulster (6 November 1391 – 18 January 1425) was an English nobleman. A great-great-grandson of King Edward III of England, he was heir presumptive to King Richard II of England, his first cousin twice removed, when Richard II was deposed in favour of Henry IV. Edmund Mortimer's claim to the crown was the basis of rebellions and plots against Henry IV and his son Henry V, and was later taken up by the House of York in the Wars of the Roses, though Mortimer himself was an important and loyal vassal of Henry V and Henry VI. Edmund Mortimer was the last Earl of March of the Mortimer family.

Henry V was succeeded by his nine-month-old son, King Henry VI, and on 9 December 1422. Mortimer was appointed to the Council of Regency.

On 9 May 1423, he was appointed the King's lieutenant in Ireland for nine years, but at first exercised his authority through a deputy, and remained in England. However, after a violent quarrel with the little King's uncle Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and the execution of his kinsman, Sir John Mortimer, Mortimer was 'sent out of the way to Ireland'. He arrived there in the autumn of 1424, and on 18 or 19 January 1425 died of plague at Trim Castle. In 1414 Mortimer had founded a college of secular canons at Stoke-by-Clare, Suffolk, and he was buried there.

Mortimer had no issue, and at his death the male line of the Earls of March became extinct. The heir to his estates was the son of his sister Anne and the Earl of Cambridge, Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York (1411–1460). Richard also inherited Mortimer's claim to the throne, which he eventually raised, causing the Wars of the Roses.

His widow, Anne, married, before 6 March 1427, John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter. She died 20 or 24 September 1432, and was buried in the church of St Katharine's by the Tower.

The Wigmore chronicle describes Edmund Mortimer as ‘severe in his morals, composed in his acts, circumspect in his talk, and wise and cautious during the days of his adversity'."

Doodling Edmi got a lot more fun.

Probably because she got a group that she can associate herself with.

Brings more of the ideas out.

New concept art for my character, Edmi. I realized black hair suits her better, so I needed a new drawing of her for writing reference. 

I’m still new to drawing armour, but I think I am getting better!
