Discrepancy in dates on the page. Roger Mortimer is given the birth/death dates of 11 April 1375 / 20 July 1393 at the top of the page, but is said to have been killed in August 1393 under "Conflict in Ireland." It's a small discrepancy from 700 years ago, but the inconsistency on the same page is sort of annoying. Most sources go with 20 July. I have NOT changed anything on the page, because I do not have an authoritative source at hand.

(Presumably you mean 1498, not 1493.) Apparently the most-used primary sources disagree on the day and month of his death. I don't know if any recent historical work has clarified the matter. Loren Rosen 07:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
