Biography
Simon de Montfort "the Younger" was born near Brindis, Italy about April, 1240 while his mother awaited her husband's return from the crusade. [1]
He died in 1271. [2]
Simon's father and brother were killed at the Battle of Evesham. Simon arrived at Evesham in time to see his father's head mounted on a spear. Another brother, Guy, was captured during the battle and imprisoned. Guy later escaped and joined the younger Simon in flight to Europe. They found fortune in the service of Charles of Anjou, and later avenged the father and brother's deaths by killing Henry of Almain, the nephew of the King, and their own cousin. This act taking place in a church, the brothers were excommunicated, which retarded sympathy for them in England. Simon died soon thereafter. (Ref: Wikipedia)

Thank you VERY much, Darlene. :) :) Sorry to have troubled you over this. Would have saved everyone the time and fixed it myself if I could have. It's been bugging me for quite a while. The Molfords do descend from these Montforts, though not through the Melefords as often repeated and not through Simon the Younger of course. I feel much better now.

Simon deMunford (so-called) is the same person as Simon de Montfort (Montfort-207), son of Simon de Munford Earl Leicester (who did NOT have two sons named Simon). Also, Simon de Montfort (so-called deMunford) was NOT the father of John de Muleford and should be removed as the father of that individual. John de Muleford of Wiltshire (usually called John de Meleford in the records) was the brother and heir of Richard de Muleford (Meleford), both of them sons of Adam de Meleford of the Manor of Meleford (also spelled Milford) in Wiltshire.
