Anne Mortimer, also known as Agnes, was a daughter of Roger Mortimer, Earl of March and a sibling of Edmund Mortimer, Roger Mortimer, Alice Mortimer, and Eleanor Mortimer. The family record states, “This Roger earle of March had issue Edmund, Roger, Anne, Ales, & Eleanor”.

Around 1385, Anne, described as the eldest of the daughters, married Richard of Conisburgh, Earl of Cambridge. They had Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York and Isabel of Cambridge.
