  Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon de Montfort returned in 1263, at the invitation of the barons, who were now convinced of the king's hostility to all reform; and raised a rebellion with the avowed object of restoring the form of government which the Provisions had ordained.
De Montfort sent out representatives to each county and to a select list of boroughs, asking each to send two representatives (this was not the first parliament in England, but what distinguished it was that de Montfort insisted the representatives be elected).
Simon de Montfort died on August 4, 1265 at the battle of Evesham, and was buried at the nearby abbey.

Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, arrived in England from Normandy in 1231, and was married to Henry III's sister, Eleanor, in 1238.
However, the king's continued mismanagement of royal finances led to de Montfort's disaffection and the summoning of a council in 1244, where financial officers were elected by the barons to supervise royal activities and spending.
De Montfort called a parliament - under an extended franchise -, but his personal greed and the treatment of royalists around the country did not endear the Earl to many other barons.

 Introduction: The Cortes of Castile-León
The initial admission of the commons to parliament is usually dated from Simon de Montforts summon to the knights of the shire and the burgesses of the towns in 1265.
Thus, whereas the English parliament, consisting of two houses of lords and commons, was a single assembly for the entire realm, the prelates, nobles, and townsmen in the cortes of Castile-León remained separate entities.

 Macaulay on Milton
Not a single session of parliament had passed without some unconstitutional attack on the freedom of debate; the right of petition was grossly violated; arbitrary judgments, exorbitant fines, and unwarranted imprisonments were grievances of daily occurrence.
He gave the parliament a voice in the appointment of ministers, and left to it the whole legislative authority, not even reserving to himself a veto on its enactments; and he did not require that the chief magistracy should be hereditary in his family.
But when he found that his parliaments questioned the authority under which they met, and that he was in danger of being deprived of the restricted power which was absolutely necessary to his personal safety, then, it must be acknowledged, he adopted a more arbitrary policy.
