DNB* Mortimer, Ralph (I) de (fl. c.1080-1104), magnate, was the son of Roger (I) de Mortimer (fl. 1054-c.1080), lord of St Victor-en-Caux in Normandy. His mother, Hawise, inherited land in the county of Amiens and he may have been named from her lord, Ralph, count of Amiens and the Vexin. In Normandy Ralph succeeded his father c.1080. William I probably gave him extensive lands in England during his father's lifetime, as there is no evidence that the latter was ever an English landowner.

By 1086 Ralph was in the second rank of the Anglo-Norman baronage. His possessions in England, like those of many others, had been accumulated in stages. The earliest major component was the Hampshire estate of the English thegn Cypping of Worthy, whose chief manor of Headbourne Worthy on the outskirts of Winchester became Mortimer's capital in southern England even though it was held only on a lease of three lives (Ralph's being the third) from the Old Minster at Winchester. His other lands in Wessex included Earl Harold's large Wiltshire manor of Hullavington. The next acquisitions were perhaps manors in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire which had belonged before the Conquest to Eadgifu, Orm, and Copsi. The large estate in the Welsh borders came to him no earlier than 1075. It centred on Wigmore Castle in Herefordshire, built by Earl William fitz Osbern (d. 1071), which his son Roger, earl of Hereford, forfeited for rebellion in 1075; and it included several manors which belonged to Queen Edith until her death (also in 1075). Others had belonged to the rebel Englishman Eadric the Wild, whose non-border manors of Amport, Hampshire, Osbaston and Weston, Leicestershire, and Stretton Baskerville, Warwickshire, were also given to Mortimer. Ralph was also a tenant in Shropshire of Roger, earl of Shrewsbury. Although much later in the middle ages he was remembered as the earl's steward there is no contemporary evidence that he served the earl or owed his position in the borders to him: he did not witness the earl's charters, or make gifts to his favoured abbeys, or hold land from him anywhere but Shropshire.

Ralph's English lands, in 1086, extended to twelve counties and touched Southampton Water, the Bristol Channel, and the Humber, but he had concentrated what he controlled directly into three areas: a dispersed but valuable estate in central Wessex (mainly Hampshire but extending into Berkshire and Wiltshire), some manors in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and the district around Wigmore on the Shropshire–Herefordshire border. The lands around Wigmore were less than half the estate in 1086, and there is no evidence that Ralph fought the Welsh with any success, but the border manors proved to be the foundation of his family's considerable importance in English history until the fourteenth century.

Ralph had about eighteen knightly tenants in England in 1086, among whom Odilard and Richard de Barre were pre-eminent. He gave both of them manors divided between the Welsh border and richer, more settled counties. The latter originated not far from the Mortimer heartland in Normandy, but it is striking how many of Ralph's other tenants were not his own men from the Norman patrimony but rather his kinsmen or his new neighbours in England. That circumstance may illustrate the difficulties Ralph had in finding tenants in England while his father was still active in Normandy.

Ralph was conventionally pious in the manner of the great Anglo-Norman lords, though he did not spend much of his landed resources in endowing the church. In Normandy his father had founded an abbey at St Victor-en-Caux; Ralph gave it a single small manor in Hampshire and confirmed his mother's gift of land in the diocese of Amiens. In England he singled out Wigmore parish church for his patronage, an indication of the importance he attached to his marcher stronghold. He had begun giving it land in a small way by 1086, but Wigmore's own later traditions were that Ralph endowed it as a college of three prebends in 1100 and that the bishop of Hereford dedicated the church in 1105. Later in the twelfth century it became an Augustinian priory. Ralph gave his consent to his men's donations to the abbey of Jumièges and Worcester Cathedral priory.

Ralph was not especially prominent in English politics under William I, but he attested royal charters when his kinsman William (I) de Warenne had the king confirm his foundation of Lewes Priory, and once in the company of the leading barons of Hampshire and Wiltshire. On William I's death he threw in his lot with Robert Curthose, and was with him in Normandy at the end of March 1088, planning the invasion of England which followed. Later in the year he himself returned to England in rebellion against William II, in common with the other most prominent marcher lords. With Roger de Lacy, Bernard de Neufmarché, and Earl Roger of Shrewsbury's barons he led an army from the Welsh marches into Worcestershire, ravaging the countryside. They attacked Worcester but were beaten off by Bishop Wulfstan, and the rebellion collapsed. Ralph may then have withdrawn to Normandy. In 1090 William II was able to buy his support for a time but later in the decade he was back in Duke Robert's camp and a party to several charters issued by the duke or his supporters. A further and final reconciliation with William II should probably be dated after Duke Robert left Normandy on the first crusade in 1096. By 1104 Mortimer was among the great Anglo-Norman barons who had sided with Henry I against the duke. There is no later reference to him and the date of his death is unknown.

Ralph was married twice; first to Millicent, and then (by 1088) to Mabel. He was succeeded in both England and Normandy by his eldest son, Hugh (I) de Mortimer [see under Mortimer, Hugh (II) de]. A younger son William, perhaps illegitimate, was set up as a landowner in the borders, and a daughter Hawise made a good marriage to William I's nephew Stephen, count of Aumale, with whom Ralph acted in concert in the politics of the 1090s and 1100s.

DNB* Mortimer, Roger (I) de (fl. 1054-c.1080), magnate, may never have set foot in England but was the progenitor of the Mortimer family whose importance in English history lasted until the male line died out in the early fifteenth century. His parentage is not certain, and different theories have been put forward to account for the evidence, in particular a charter attestation by a ‘Roger, son of Ralph de Warenne’, and the statements of the earliest genealogist of the family, Robert de Torigny, in the early twelfth century. Most plausibly Roger was the son of Ralph (I) de Warenne and his wife, Béatrice, who is shown to have been a niece of Duke Richard of Normandy by the later statement of Archbishop Anselm that the Warennes and the dukes then shared an ancestor four generations back on one side and six on the other. That parentage would make Roger (I) de Mortimer a second cousin once removed of Duke William, the conqueror of England. In any case he was certainly related in some way to the ducal house.

Probably it was Duke William who gave the young Roger custody of the castle of Mortemer on the Norman frontier towards Amiens, the castle from which he and his descendants took their family name. He had extensive lands in the Pays de Caux and forged alliances with the local aristocracy, taking as his wife Hawise, who inherited land in the diocese of Amiens, and swearing homage to a neighbouring count, Ralph de Crépy, count of Valois.

In 1054 King Henry I of France invaded Normandy. One of his allies was Count Ralph, who was in the French army which made for Mortemer. Duke William sent a force commanded by Roger de Mortimer and Robert, count of Eu, which fought and won a pitched battle against the French in the vicinity of Roger's castle. Count Ralph was taken prisoner. Roger behaved with propriety towards his lord the count: he took Ralph into the castle, protected him there for three days, then escorted him to safety. But he thereby prejudiced the interests of his other lord, the duke. William was furious and banished him, confiscating all his estates. When the duke calmed down and took Roger back into his friendship, he restored everything except Mortemer, which he gave instead to Roger's kinsman William (I) de Warenne.

Roger de Mortimer afterwards made his chief residence at St Victor-en-Caux, where he and Hawise evidently established a priory which in 1074 was made into an abbey with the permission of the archbishop of Rouen. Although wealthy and well connected, Roger was apparently excluded by the duke from any further participation at the centre of power, since he did not witness any ducal charters before 1066. The family did participate in and profit from the conquest of England, though it was probably through Roger's son Ralph (I) de Mortimer rather than through Roger himself. Roger's only other known public act was between 1078 and 1080, when he witnessed the royal charter which confirmed William (I) de Warenne's foundation of Lewes as a Cluniac priory; his approval might have been sought in Normandy rather than in England. Roger's date of death is unknown; it need not have been before 1086, when his son was in possession of the lands that had been acquired in England.
