Edmund de Mortimer, 5th Earl of March

Edmund de Mortimer, 5th Earl of March and 7th Earl of Ulster (6 November 1391 – 18 January 1425) was, while a young child, briefly heir presumptive to King Richard II of England.

Final years

Mortimer died in Ireland in 1425, and as he left no issue the Earldom of March, created with remainder to heirs male, became extinct. The Earldom of Ulster, and his estates, passed to his nephew, Anne Mortimer's son, Richard Plantagenet, later restored as 3rd Duke of York, who was nevertheless styled "Earl of March", as was his son, upon which son's accession to the Throne in 1461 as King Edward IV the Earldom of Ulster became extinct.
