Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer of Chirk

Eleanor de Clare (Eleanor de la Zouche) was married to William la Zouche, 1st Baron Zouche of Mortimer (from the research of John Lloyd Marlow)

Wikipedia says about William la Zouche:

William la Zouche, 1st Baron Zouche (1276/86–1352), lord of the manor of Harringworth in Northamptonshire, was an English baron and soldier who fought in the Wars of Scottish Independence. He is referred to in history as "of Harringworth" to distinguish him from his first cousin (of the senior line) Alan la Zouche, 1st Baron la Zouche (1267–1314) of Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire.

Joyce Zouche (Botetourt) was the daughter of William la Zouche according to John Marlow but this does not show on the Wikipedia page. There is also a reference to the Battle of Bannockburn and the wars of Scotish independance. Another Botetourt cross-reference.
