Simon du Montfort?

I had no idea he had a rehabilitation club on Free Republic...lol

Montfort was French

He betrayed Henry who had taken him in and earled him..no small favor

He used the Barons to try to take the power of the throne for hisself

Mortimer impaled him...proper

His seed lived on in a big way eventuallythrough Liz Woodville...ultrahot and oh so fertile in her day wife of Edward IV and survived WOTR long enough to see her daughter Liz of York marry Henry VII and make Tudor a standard nouveau riche building style

If you are going try to kill the king then follow thru

Historical revisionism. Simon De Montfort was a Gallo speaking Norman who would have looked down on the Angles he ruled. This was not a battle for democracy but rather for barons to rule as petty tyrants in their own lands rather than with a king above them.

Meanwhile in America, the city of Cahokia was thriving with a population said to be 25,000 inhabitants.

There was no such city in England at the time
