Mortimer's Rise and Fall in Edward III Era Regency
The passage outlines Mortimer's domination during Edward III's minority, controlling regency power, sidelining the king's uncles, and shaping policy with Queen Adether. It notes his manipulation of royal favor, the failed Scottish campaign, and eventual downfall blamed on insinuations of improper influence over the queen, as discussed by Barnes Rapin and other historians.
