Birth Name de Montfort, Peter
Gender male
Age at Death 47 years, 7 months, 3 days

Narrative

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.
