Family

Agnes Mortimer was one of the twelve children of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan de Geneville, Baroness Geneville. Her paternal grandparents were Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer and Margaret de Fiennes. Her maternal grandparents were Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow, and Jeanne of Lusignan.

First marriage

Agnes' father had just been created Earl of March, and was thus able to look for more powerful spouses for his children. In a brilliant set of marriages, Agnes was therefore married to Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke, a ward of her father's.^[2] Her sister Beatrice was married to Edward, 2nd Earl of Norfolk. Agnes and Laurence had one surviving son, who was born after Laurence's death in 1348:

• John Hastings, 2nd Earl of Pembroke

Second marriage

After Laurence's death, Agnes married John de Hakelut. There were no known children from this marriage. She died on 25 July 1368.
