In May 1406 [her brother-in-law] Richard of Conisbrough 1st Earl Cambridge [aged 20] and Anne Mortimer [aged 15] were married.

She died five years later. The suspected false paternity has no effect on the claim of the House of York since it is Richard's wife Ann Mortimer who passes claim to her children.

He the son of [her father-in-law] Edmund of Langley 1st Duke of York and [her mother-in-law] Isabella of Castile Duchess York. They were first cousin twice removed.
