Peter de Montfort

Peter was born in 1218 in Beaudesert, Warwickshire, England.¹ Peter's father was Thurstan de Montfort and his mother was <Unknown>. His paternal grandparents were Henry de Montfort and Emma de Corbuceo. He was an only child. He died due to battle of Evesham at the age of 47 on August 4th, 1265 in Evesham, Worcestershire, England.¹

General Notes
- He is said to have presided over a meeting of the British House of Commons at a Parliament held in Oxford in 1258 (dubbed by the supporters of Henry III as the "Mad Parliament"). He is the earliest person recorded as the presiding officer of the Commons, an office today held by the Speaker of the House of Commons but known then as parlour or prolocutor. He was the son of Thurstan de Montfort. Although he was closely associated with Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, and died with him at the Battle of Evesham on 4 August 1265, they were not related despite the shared surname. Peter de Montfort married Alice de Audley. Their grandson John was created 1st Lord Montfort.
