Simon II de Montfort born about 1068 in Montfort l'Amaury, Ile de France, France and died September 25, 1104. He was the son of Simon I de Montfort, Count of Évreux (c. 1025–1087) and Agnès d'Évreux (c. 1030–c. 1087).
He succeeded his brother Richard de Montfort in 1092 as "Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury". In 1098, he had to sustain a siege led by William II Rufus, King of England (and guardian of Normandy in the absence of Robert Curthose gone to crusade), and successfully fought it off. He died without an heir and left Montfort to his brother, Amaury III of Montfort.
