Simon de Montfort His Cause, 1251-1266
Excerpt from Simon De Montfort His Cause, 1251-1266: Extracts From the Writings of Robert of Gloucester, Matthew Paris, William Rishanger, Thomas of Wykes, Etc;, Etc This volume is a continuation of an earlier one in the same series, entitled The Misrule of Henry III.

Since his death at the battle of Evesham in 1265, one foot of the dismembered corpse has been confidently traced to Alnwick abbey in Northumberland, from where it disappeared, probably at the Reformation.

In this booklet Dr Cox reviews the evidence for an alternative last resting place of Earl Simon's bones, and outlines the circumstances under which they might be recovered and identified. A challenge thus awaits us to provide for Simon de Montfort the discovery and preservation accorded to the last Plantagenet king of England, Richard III.
