Richard de Montfort

Richard de Montfort (about 1065, in Montfort l'Amaury, Ile de France, France – 1092), was the son of Simon I de Montfort, Count of Évreux (c. 1025 – 1087) and Agnès d'Évreux (c. 1030 – c. 1087).^[1]

He succeeded his half brother Guillaume de Montfort in 1089 as "Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury". In November 1092, he was killed in battle. Orderic Vitalis records that he succeeded his half-brother in 1089 as Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury and "was relentless in his attempts to take vengeance on Guillaume de Breteuil for Amaury's fate". He was mortally wounded in an attack on Conches, during the war between Raoul III de Tosny and Guillaume Comte d'Evreux triggered by the enmity between their wives.^[1] He died without alliance and left Montfort to his brother, Simon II de Montfort. He was buried in Épernon, Eure-et-Loir, France.^[1]
