Fearless warrior, distinguished baron, lieutenant, ruler of Ireland. Ironically, he escaped from the Tower itself, from where escape is impossible. Then he settled in France, establishing connections and making offer after offer to return home, and not just to return, but with an army and the wife of the enemy as a trophy, the guardian of the enemy's son. And the enemy, none other than yesterday's friend - the King of England, if, of course, a suzerain can be a friend. Perfect revenge.
Perfect betrayal.
Mortimer's actions against the English royal family ultimately led to treason on a scale never before seen in English history, neither before nor after.
