Martin II
Species: Mouse Place of Origin: Redwall Abbey Gender: Male Weapon: The Sword of Martin Death: Unknown
Books Appears: Mattimeo, The Pearls of Lutra

Martin II was a male mouse of Redwall Abbey and the son of Mattimeo and Tess Churchmouse. He is also the grandson of John Churchmouse, Mrs. Churchmouse, Matthias and Cornflower and the great grandson of Mr. Fieldmouse and Mrs. Fieldmouse. Martin was named for the original Martin the Warrior and took up his father's mantle as the Abbey Warrior.

He was known for being wise, and one season assisted Guosim shrews in dealing with a group of robber foxes. Martin was also the only known creature who was able to resist the hypnotic stare of Ublaz Mad Eyes.

Martin helped to track the captors of Abbot Durral through Mossflower Woods, and then sailed across the western sea in the Freebeast to Sampetra, along with Grath Longfletch, Clecky, Viola Bankvole, Inbar Trueflight, who they picked up on Ruddaring, Plogg, and Welko. He cornered Ublaz alone in his palace and had a swordfight with him there, intent on defeating him. However, the pine marten stepped on a poisonous coral snake and was fatally bitten. Martin then avenged the family of Grath, making sure that the last thing that Ublaz heard was "Holt Lutra!". Martin traveled back to Redwall with Durral and the others. He did not leave any known descendants.

Martin's promise to keep Holt Ruddaring's mountain a secret is similar to Martin the Ancient Warrior's promise to keep Noonvale a secret.

Animated SeriesEdit

Martin II appears at the end of Season 2 of the Redwall TV Series. Tim Churchmouse, the son of John Churchmouse and brother of Tess, describes in the afterword/epilogue about Martin II being born to Mattimeo and Tess after their return.

An alteration in the ancestry compared to the novels: in the afterword/epilogue of Season 1 John Churchmouse declares that he is Cornflower's father and Mattimeo's grandfather. This would make Cornflower and Tess siblings, and Tess would be Mattimeo's aunt.

Thus, in the animated series, if John and his son Tim are being truthful about his biological paternity, Martin II is both the grandson AND great grandson of John Churchmouse. He would also be both grandson and nephew to Cornflower.

While there are other recognized major plot differences between the novels and cartoon adaptations (such as the survival of various Abbots during invasions) one interpretation that would bring this in line with the novel's paternity (where Cornflower is the daughter of Mr. Fieldmouse, not John Churchmouse) and avoid the controversial coupling is if John considered himself an adoptive father/grandfather to Cornflower/Mattimeo, perhaps adopting Cornflower due to the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Fieldmouse as they are not present in the animated series like they are in the novels.
