Toy knights of Simon de Montfort are few, most produced are that of his father Simon de Montfort 1V produced by French manufacturers. Below is my collection of toy figures, most of which I have commissioned from prominent Heraldic model makers and few figures I have enjoy making myself. 

They are all to a scale of 50mm to 60mm. 

This model of Simon de Montfort is my latest effort at painting and shows him as a young knight. The design of the lion is based roughly on the Matthew Paris drawing of 1244.

Frederick Ping made several models of Simon. His figures were mostly scratch built, so its very difficult to know how many he produced. He also made figures of his wife Eleanor and men at arms with his colours.

This example I feel is a younger Simon.

These two models made for me by

This excellent model made for me by

  Tye Roberts

These two models  were produced by

Mulburry Miniatures 

Again not sure how many were produced before the company ceased trading.

This model beautifully made for me by Bob Hornung  

A very fine 54mm figure made for me by Keith Over of Whittlesey Miniatures

I'm very excited by this figure kindly sent to me by Replicants.

Its very finely detailed, the raised lion on the shield should look great  white on the red.This will be the first plastic figure I have painted, wish me luck.

His father, also called Simon made his name in the crusades against the Cathars. 

He was crushed and killed by a rock from the walls of  besieged Toulouse in 1218.

I collect a few models of his father but he does not hold any great collecting passion. It is not surprising that given the havoc he brought on the Cathars that two toy knight Manufacturers  who produce models of Simon de Montfort the crusader are based in France.
