For several years in the reign of King Henry III, this feudal lord took an active part in the wars of that monarch, but at length, on the breaking out of the barons' insurrection, he became one of the most zealous amongst those turbulent lords and, after the battle of Lewes, was of the nine nominated to rule the kingdom, in which station he enjoyed and exercised more than regal power, but of short duration, for he fell at the subsequent conflict of Evesham, so disastrous to the baronial cause. Peter de Montfort m. Alice, dau. of Henry de Aldithley, a great Staffordshire baron, and had issue, Peter, his successor; William, who by gift of his father had the manor of Uppingham, co. Rutland; Robert, who had lands also in the co. Rutland.
