Notes


Simon I de Senlis (or Senliz), 1st Earl of Northampton and 2nd Earl of Huntingdon jure uxoris (died between 1111 and 1113 [probably 1111 as this is when his castle at Northampton passed to the crown]) was a Norman nobleman. Simon de Senlis subsequently went abroad and died at La Charité-sur-Loire, where he was buried in the new priory church. Simon was the third son of Laudri de Senlis, sire of Chantilly and Ermenonville (in Picardy), and his spouse, Ermengarde. He married in or before 1090 Maud of Huntingdon, daughter of Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria, Northampton and Huntingdon. They had three children: Simon II de Senlis, Earl of Huntingdon-Northampton, Waltheof of Melrose, and Maud de Senlis, who married (1st) Robert Fitz Richard (of the De Clare family), of Little Dunmow, Essex, had issue, then following his death married (2nd) Saer de Quincy. Following Simon's death, his widow, Maud, married (2nd) around Christmas 1113, David I nicknamed the Saint, who became King of Scots in 1124. David was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon to the exclusion of his step-son, Simon; the earldom of Northampton reverted to the crown. Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon, the Queen of Scots, died in 1130/31.
