many mythological, folklore and religious traditions, hell is a place of torment and punishment in

an afterlife. It is viewed by most Abrahamic traditions as punishment.[1] Religions with

history often depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations. Typically these
traditions locate hell in another dimension or under the Earth's surface and often include
entrances to Hell from the landIn the Middle Ages, the Mortimers were a powerful magnate family
or dynasty of Marcher Lords in the Welsh Marches, centered on Wigmore
Castle in Herefordshire, and from the 14th century holding the title of Earl of March.

throne, but when Richard II was deposed in 1399, the claims of the Mortimers were ignored and
