“SIMON DE DAMMARTIN, Count of Aumale, and, in right of his wife, Count of Ponthieu and Montreuil, 2nd son. He married at Compiegne by settlement dated September 1208 MARIE OF PONTHIEU, Countess of Ponthieu and Montreuil (1225), daughter and heiress of Guillaume Talvas II, Count of Ponthieu, by Alix, daughter of Louis VII, King of France [see FRANCE 6.ii for her ancestry]. She was born before 17 Sept. 1199. They had four daughters, Jeanne, Mathilde (wife of Jean de Châtellerault), Philippe (wife successively of Raoul de Lusignan, Count of Eu, Raoul de Coucy, seigneur of Coucy, and Otton II, Count of Guelders), and Marie (wife of Jean II, Count of Roucy). In 1204-6 King Philippe Auguste granted Mortain and Saint-James in Normandy to Count Renaud and his brother, Simon, only to confiscate them once more in 1211. In 1208 his brother, Renaud, Count of Boulogne, gave him 500 livrees of land in Normandy. He fought against King Philippe Auguste at the Battle of Bouvines, after which he was banished from the kingdom and his goods confiscated. In 1221, on the death of his father-in-law, Guillaume, Count of Ponthieu, his lands held in right of his wife were taken. In 1225 Marie obtained a pardon, and resumed the administration of Ponthieu. Simon obtained permission to return to France in 1231. In 1233 Marie was coming to England on pilgrimage. SIMON DE DAMMARTIN, Count of Aurnale, Ponthieu, and Montreuil, died 21 Sept. 1239, and was buried at Valoires Abbey. His widow, Marie, married (2nd) between September 1240 and 15 Dec. 1241 MATHIEU DE MONTMORENCY, seigneur of Attichy, and, in right of his wife, Count of Ponthieu and Montreuil (slain at Mansurah February 1250), son of Mathieu II, seigneur of Montmorency, Constable of France, by his 1st wife, Gertrude, daughter of Raoul II, Count of Soissons. In 1244 Mathieu and his wife, Marie, issued a charter regarding a difference between Corbie Abbey and Jean de Maisnieres, Chev. His widow, Marie, died at Abbeville in September 1250.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“AUBREY DE DAMMARTIN, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, seigneur of Lillebonne-en-Normandie, and Rouville, lord of Beachampton (in Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Piddington, Oxfordshire, South Norton and Thurston, Suffolk, etc., son and heir, born say 1130. He married MAHAUT (or MATHILDE) OF CLERMONT, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, by Clemence, Countess of Dammartin, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc [see CLERMONT 2 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Renaud [Count of Boulogne, Dammartin, and Mortain], Simon [Count of Aumale, Ponthieu, and Monstreuil], and Raoul, and four daughters, Alix (or Aleide, Adelicia) (wife of Jean II, seigneur of Trie), Agnes, Clemence (wife of Jacques de Prische, 4th son of Guillaume, Chatelain of Saint Omer), and Juliane. In 1174 either he or his father, Aubrey, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," witnessed a charter of Ralph Fitz Ralph Fitz Reinger and his brother, Hugh, to Rufford Abbey. About 1175, as Aubrey, Count of Dammartin, he granted Missenden Abbey the hermitage and chapel of Muswell, together with the tithe of the demesne of Piddington, Oxfordshire; this grant was made with the consent of his son and heir, Renaud. In 1177, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," he witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, Raoul, Count of Clermont. Some time before 1184 he successfully claimed to have an hereditary right to Merton, Oxfordshire; he subsequently obtained a charter from King Henry II confirming the manor of Merton to himself and his son Renaud with all the rights that their ancestors had enjoyed under King Henry I. In 1183-4, as "Aubrey, Count of Dammartin," he issued a charter confirming the previous grant of Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templars, excepting the fee and tenement of Guy of Merton and his heirs, the overlordship of which Aubrey reserved to himself. Sometime before 1184 Earl Simon de Semis confirmed to Aubrey and his son, Renaud, lands in Beachampton (in Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire. In 1185 he and his wife, Countess Mathilde, and his son, Renaud, Count of Boulogne, issued a charter to the canons and prior of Dammartin. In 1193 he and his wife, Mathilde, witnessed a charter of their son-in-law, Jean de Trie, to the Abbey of St.-Paul. In 1194 the manor of Piddington, Oxfordshire, was described as lately belonging to the Count of Dammartin, it then being in royal hands as an escheat. In 1200 he granted the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent 40 shilling Parisien of rent. In 1202 [sic] he and his wife, Mathilde, gave the chapel of their manor of Rouville to the church of Alisay. AUBREY II, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, died at London 19 Sept. 1200, and was buried in the Abbey of Jumièges. He left a testament dated 20 [sic] Sept. 1200. His widow, Mahout, was co-heiress in 1218 to her great-nephew, Thibaut, Count of Blois and Clermont. In 1218 she quitclaimed her rights in the comté of Clermont to King Philippe Auguste.

Children of Aubri de Dammartin, by Mahaut de Clermont:
i. RENAUD DE DAMMARTIN, of Beachampton (m Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Piddington, Oxfordshire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Norton, Suffolk, and, in right of his 2nd wife, Count of Boulogne, and of Kirton-in-Lindsay, Dunham, Nottinghamshire, Bampton and Cold Norton, Oxfordshire, etc., son and heir, born 1165. He married (1st) MARIE DE CHATILLON, daughter of Guy de Chatillon, whom he subsequently repudiated. They had no issue. He married (2nd) c.1191 IDA OF BOULOGNE, Countess of Boulogne, widow of Gerard III, Count of Guelders and Zutphen, contracted wife of Berthold V, Duke of Zeringhen, and daughter and co-heiress of Mathieu of Flanders, Count of Boulogne, lord of Kirton-in-Lindsey, Lincolnshire, Dunham, Nottinghamshire, Bampton and Cold Norton, Oxfordshire, Exning, Suffolk, etc., by his 1st wife, Mary (or Marie), daughter of Stephen, King of England [see BRABANT 4 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Mahaut (or Mathilde, Mafalda) [Countess of Boulogne and Dammartin] (wife successively of Philippe dit Hurepel, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis and Mortain, and Affonso III, King of Portugal and the Algarve [see PORTUGAL 7]). Sometime before 1184 Simon Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton granted him the manor of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire. In 1189 he was granted the castle and forest of Lillebonne, Normandy by King Henry II. In 1198 King Richard I confirmed to him the forest of Lillebonne and the inheritance in England and in Normandy of his wife, Ida, as count Mathieu held it, and all the inheritance of his father count Aubrey de Dammartin. The same year the king granted him the manor of Bampton, Oxfordshire. In 1202 King Philippe granted him the fortress and county of Aumale. Following Renaud's defection from the England king in 1203, the manor of Bampton passed in custody to Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Earl of Essex. In 1204-6 King Philippe Auguste granted Mortain and Saint-James in Normandy to Count Renaud and his brother, Simon, only to confiscate them once more in 1211. In 1212 King John restored to him the manors of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire, Kirton-in-Lindsay, Lincolnshire, Bampton, Cold Norton, and Piddington, Oxfordshire, Ryhall, Rutland, and Little Haugh (in Norton), Suffolk. He was defeated by King Philippe Auguste at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, and forfeited his title of count. Although still regarded as part of Renaud's honour of Boulogne after his capture at the Battle of Bouvines, the manor of Bampton, Oxfordshire was granted at pleasure in 1217 to Fawkes de Breaute.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HENRY III OF ENGLAND, King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Aquitaine, son and heir, born at Winchester 1 October 1207. He ascended the throne 19 October 1216, and was crowned at Gloucester 28 October 1216, again at Westminster Abbey 17 May 1220. Sometime prior to 19 October 1216, he contracted to marry Yolande of Brittany [see LUSIGNAN 6], daughter of Pierre de Braine, Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, Henry agreeing to obtain a dispensation from the Pope for that purpose. This contract was eventually voided. In 1226 he released all his right in the city and county of Angoulême, the city of Saintonge, and the castles of Cognac and Merpins to his mother and step-father. Henry assumed personal rule when he declared himself to be of full age in Jan. 1227. He married (1st) by proxy in 1235 JEANNE DE DAMMARTIN, daughter and co-heiress of Simon de Dammartin, Count of Ponthieu and Montreuil [see DAMMARTIN 4], which marriage was annulled without consummation 27 April 1236, on grounds that they were related in the 4th degree of kindred. He married (2nd) at Canterbury Cathedral, Kent 14 Jan. 1236 ELEANOR OF PROVENCE, 2nd daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tomniaso) I, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. They had nine children (see below). Henry's personal rule in the direction of royal finances without the participation of the barons provoked discontent. The barons were further repelled by the influence over his government by his Queen's Savoyard kinsmen. His Lusignan half-brothers involved him in a disastrous foray in France. Henry's need for financial support compelled him in 1258 to agree to the creation of a privy council of barons to advise him and to oversee the administration of government. In 1259 he gave up his claim to Normandy and other hereditary possessions of the crown in France, in return for some territories in Gascony which had been lost. His major baronial opponent by 1263 was his brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester [see LEICESTER 10]. In the ensuing civil war, Montfort captured Henry and his eldest son, Edward, at the Battle of Lewes in Sussex 14 May 1264. Montfort ruled England in Henry's name until he was defeated and killed at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. By the treaty of Montgomery in 1267, Henry III recognized Llywelyn ap Gruffudd as Prince of Wales and Snowdon, following Llywelyn's establishment of control over Gwynedd Uwch Conwy and Perfeddwlad, and supremacy over the other Welsh rulers. HENRY III OF ENGLAND, King of England, died testate at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk 16 Nov. 1272, and was buried at Westminster Abbey. His widow, Eleanor, entered Amesbury Priory, Wiltshire, where she was veiled 7 July 1286. She gave five pounds of silver every Friday to the poor in reverence for the five wounds of Christ. In 1290 she requested a commission of oyer and terrniner from the king to enquire into trespasses committed by her stewards or bailiffs throughout her lands. Eleanor, Queen of England, died testate at Amesbury Priory 24 June 1291, and was buried in the Convent Church there 10 Sept. 1291. In 1292 Henry's heart was delivered by the Abbot of Winchester to the Abbess of Fontrevault, to whom the king promised it when he visited her house in 1254.
