| For Edward, a further provocation came from Llywelyn's planned marriage to Eleanor, daughter of Simon de Montfort. |

| Born in Montfort, he was well received by Henry when he arrived in England in 1230, allowed to claim the earldom of Leicester, and married the king's youngest sister Eleanor. |

| In the following years, those supporting Montfort and those supporting the king grew more hostile to each other. |
| The Polyphemi of Montfort have an undulation in the centre of the outer lip. |
