Quick question; I thought King John's daughter Eleanor married 
Llewellyn ab Iowerth (when she was about 12 naturally). They were 
happily married for many years until she had a fling with William de 
Braose (who Llewellyn promtly hanged before forgiving Eleanor). Who 
was Simon de Montfort? Am I thinking of the right Eleanor? I think 
the Eleanor who married Llewellyn was a random illegitimate offshoot 
of one of John's random affairs (before he married Isabelle), is the 
Eleanor to whom you refer a legitimate daughter from the union with 
Isabelle?
