Herefordshire Histories Festival: Dynasty of Destiny, 1066 - 1485

Date: Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 12:00am - 12:00am
By a happy coincidence Mortimer History Society’s annual all-day ‘Spring Conference’ is Saturday 17 May at Ludlow Methodist Church.
2025 is the 600th anniversary of the death of the last lord of Wigmore who had the name Mortimer. He was Edmund Mortimer, fifth earl of March, d. 1425, succeeded by his direct male descendent, his nephew, Richard, duke of York. The conference will explore the significance and importance of the Mortimer family of Wigmore.
Over three and a half centuries, it grew to dominate Herefordshire, the March of Wales, England, Wales and Ireland.
