Birth* April 1240 Simon was born in April 1240 at Italy.1 
!AInfoNew* 1265 Exiled from England after Evesham, he wandered across Europe with his brother Guy, with whom in 1271 he participated in the murder at Viterbo of their cousin Henry of Cornwall, elder son and heir of
Earl Richard of Cornwall. This was regarded as a particularly heinous crime as the victim was hearing mass at the time and died clutching the altar, begging for mercy. The murder was said to be in revenge for young Henry's desertion of the elder Simon de Montfort's cause in 1263 and for that Simon's death at Evesham. Simon the younger died later that same year (1271) near Siena. He was unmarried.1
