; He joined the misdirected Fourth Crusade, which, instead of the Holy Land, attacked the Byzantine Empire. Simon de Montfort objected and did not participate. After returning to France he became involved in the inheritance of his maternal uncle, the Earl of Leicester. His uncle's inheritance was divided between two sisters and, through his mother, Simon received the Earldom of Leicester and the Stewardship of England.

In 1206 Simon de Montfort was recognised as Earl of Leicester and was granted lands by King John. However, in 1207 all his English lands were placed in charge of the Sheriff of Warwick and the revenues went to the king. However, Simon de Montfort was too actively involved in the Albigensian Crusade to stay in England and retain his inheritance.

It was the last effort of Pope Innocent III to suppress the belief of the Cathars or Albigensians. With great cruelty and military ability he pursued the Cathars for nearly ten years (1209-1218) and because of his efforts gained the county of Toulouse and the duchy of Narbonne.

To show his appreciation the pope supported Simon's claim to the English inheritance and always called him Earl of Leicester. On the pope's request, in 1215 the English lands were committed to Ranulf, Earl of Chester, who was Simon's nephew. However, in 1218 while besieging the city of Toulouse, Simon died, struck on the head by a stone pitched from a mangonel used to defend the city. An epitaph described him as: 'He was another Mars, because warlike; another Paris, because beautiful; another Cato, because adorned by good morals'.⁷ Simon V de Montfort 5th Earl of Leicester, Comte de Toulouse, Duc de Narbonne, Marquis de Provence was also known as Simon IV de Montfort seigneur de Montfort, Epernon et de Houdan, comte de Leicester, duc de Narbonne, vicomte de Béziers, Albi, Carcassonne, comte de Toulouse.^4,1,5,2,3
