Simon de Montfort was by origin a minor French noble who went on to become one of the leading English magnates of the thirteenth century and the brother-in-law of King Henry III. He was first the close friend of the king and later his bitter enemy. He was a devout Christian, a crusader and a kindred spirit.
Amaury de Montfort, Lord of Montfort-l'Amaury, (1192 [1] – 1241) was the son of Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester and Alix de Montmorency, [2] and the older brother of Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester. Amaury inherited his father's French properties while his brother Simon inherited the English title of Earl of Leicester.
Amaury spent the night before the ceremony in a church at prayer. In the morning, the bishop of Orléans celebrated a solemn mass. After the mass, Simon took the right hand of his son and Alix took his left. Together they led him to the altar. There, Simon asked the bishops to accept his son as the knight of Christ.
