'''Martin II''' was a male mouse warrior of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He was the son of [[Mattimeo]] and [[Tess Churchmouse]], grandson of [[John Churchmouse]], [[Mrs. Churchmouse]], [[Matthias]], and [[Cornflower]], great grandson of [[Mr. Fieldmouse]] and [[Mrs. Fieldmouse]], and the nephew of [[Tim Churchmouse]]. Martin was named after [[Martin the Warrior]] and took up his father's mantle as the [[Redwall Abbey#Warriors|Abbey Champion]].

He was known for being wise, and one season assisted [[Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower|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 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]], [[Cleckstarr Lepus Montisle|Clecky]], [[Viola Bankvole]], [[Plogg]], [[Welko]], and [[Inbar Trueflight]], the latter whom they picked up on [[Ruddaring]]. 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 Longfletch family, ensuring that the last thing that Ublaz heard was "Holt Lutra!"

Martin II traveled back to Redwall with Durral and the others. He did not leave any known descendants, but trained [[Abbot Arven|Arven]] to succeed him as Abbey Warrior.

===Nelvana Redwall TV Series===
Martin II appears at the end of [[Redwall - Season 2|season two]] of the Nelvana [[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. He also appeared in the prologue to [[Redwall - Season 3|season three]] as an infant held by his paternal grandmother Cornflower in the audience as his uncle Tim relates the account of Martin the Warrior.

In the afterword/epilogue of [[Redwall - Season 1|season one]], 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. If John and his son Tim were 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.

In season two, this may have been retconned. Cornflower refers to John Churchmouse by his first name, and Mrs. Churchmouse is referred to as "the mother of Tess and Tim" by Slagar the Cruel.
