General Notes
REF: Sharon Kay Penman: "The Reckoning": In March 1271, he was in Viterbo on his way back from Crusade in the Holy land with with Charles de Anjou King of Naples, Sicily & Jerusalem & Charles's nephew Philippe King of France. His cousins Guy & Bran de Montfort & Guy's father in law Aldobrandino Aldobrandeschi Comte de Aguilla were in town to welcome the two sovereigns back. Henry of Almaine had been one of Earl Simon's supporters but who had betrayed his uncle & pledged his allegiance back to the crown. While Henry was at Mass in the town, Guy & Bran de Montfort slew him at the altar as he begged for mercy & drug him out into the street where Guy hacked his body into pieces. After fleeing to Aldobrandeschi's castle in Sovana, the Montfort lands & titles were forfeit, & they were declared outlaw as well as excommunicated by the Pope.
