SIMON de Senlis, son of SIMON de Senlis Earl of Huntingdon & his wife Matilda of Huntingdon (-Aug 1153, bur St Andrew's Priory). Ingulph's "Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland" names "Simon, Waldev and Matilda" as the children of Simon Earl of Huntingdon and his wife Matilda, commenting that they "are still young and in their infancy." After his father died, he was passed over as earl in favor of his stepfather. However, he was restored as Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton [before 1141] by Stephen Kingof England for whom he fought at Lincoln in Feb 1141. A manuscript narrating the foundation of St Andrew’s Priory, Northampton records that "Simon de Seynlyz junior" founded "abbatiam beatæ Mariæ de Pratis juxta Northampton." A charter of King Edward III confirmed the donations to the Abbey of De la Pre, founded by “Simon comes de Norhamtona”, for the soul of “Gervasii Paynel fratris mei”, by undated charter. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1153 of "Symone comite Huntedoniæ." The Annals of Tewkesbury record that "comes de Norhamptone" died in 1153.
m as her first husband, ISABELLE de Beaumont, daughter of ROBERT de Beaumont Earl of Leicester & his wife Amicie de Gaël. Robert of Torigny refers to the wife of "Symone comite Huntedoniæ" as "filia Roberti comitis Legecestriæ" but does not name her. "R. comes Legrecestrie" granted tithes to "Isabele comitisse de Norhamtone sororis mee" by charter dated to the middle of the reign of King Henry II. "I. comitissa Northamptonie" donated land at Groby to Nuneaton priory, for the souls of "patris mei et fratris mei R. comitis Legrecestrie" by charter dated to the middle of the reign of King Henry II. She married secondly Gervase Paynell Baron of Dudley. Her second marriage is confirmed by charter dated 1187 under which "Gervasius Paganellus" donated property to Tykford Priory, with the consent of "uxoris meæ Isabellæ comitissæ de Norhamton," which names "Fulcodius Paganellus avus meus et Radulfus Paganellus pater meus," witnessed by "Simone comite Northamptoniæ, Isabella comitissa matre eius."
