Simon II de Montfort (c. 1068, Montfort l'Amaury, Ile de France, France – 25 September 1104) was the son of Simon I de Montfort (c. 1025–1087) and Agnès d'Évreux (c. 1030–c. 1087).[1]
He succeeded his brother Richard de Montfort in 1092 as lord of Montfort-l'Amaury. In 1098, he had to sustain a siege led by William II Rufus, King of England and guardian of Normandy in the absence of Robert Curthose, gone to crusade, and Simon successfully fought it off.[2] He died without an heir and left Montfort to his brother, Amaury III.
