| 2nd marriage Eleanor of England , Nickname: Alianore, Eleanor Princess of England, daughter of John "Lackland" King of England, King of England and Isabella de Taillefer Queen of England, Queen of England.Married 7 jan 1237-1238 St. Stephen's Chapel, Westminster, Middlesex, England, STATUS: 2nd marriage for wife. (26 or 27 years married) to: Sir Simon VI de Montfort Earl of Leicester, Earl of Leicester, Nickname: Simon de MontfortBORN_SHORT 1208-1209 , Normandie, France, DIED_SHORT 4 aug 1265 Battle of Evesham, Evesham, Worcestershire, England, 55 or 56 years, BURIED_SHORT Evesham Abbey, Evesham, Worcestershire, England TITLES: Earl of Leicester High Steward of England CAUSE OF DEATH: Slain at the battle. IDENTITY: The confusion the de Montforts in Anselme appears to be caused by a donation by "Simon iste comes Ebroicensis et Mahaudis uxor eius" which is presumeably a mistake for Amicia. The necrology of Haute-Bruyere lists "Simon...et de sa femme la contesse Amicie". Cawley "Medieval Lands" and Schwennicke Band 3 part 4 tafel 642 are in agreement. We make Simon II the elder brother of Amaury and Simon III his son. Simon IV was the first to be Earl of Leicester. Simon V commanded the Albigensian crusade. Simon VI died at the battle of Evesham. Anselme is wrong to give his Simon II two wives. Misassigned children result. FAMILY: Simon and Eleanor had a total of six sons and two daughters. | |||
