Notes:
Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Appendix D to v.VII, pp. 715-716). Count of Evreux and Seigneur of Montfort; heir to his brother, Amaury, who d.s.p. in 1140. Being a vassal both of LOUIS VII, KING OF FRANCE (RIN 1530) and HENRY II, KING OF ENGLAND (RIN 761) (as Duke of Normandy), Simon's position was embarrasing when his two suzerains were at war in 1159. He adhered to England, and handed his castles of Rochefort, Montfort, and Epernon to HENRY II, which forced KING LOUIS to make a truce by cutting his communications between Paris, Orleans, and Entampes, In 1173 Simon joined the revolt of the "young king" [HENRY II's eldest son, Henry], but was captured when [BALDWIN VIII (RIN 3165)] COUNT OF FLANDERS took the castle of Aumale. In 1177 he attested the Treaty of Ivry and was with HENRY II at Verneuil.
