Amaury IV de Montfort (d.1140) was
Count of Évreux
The Count of Évreux was a French noble title and was named for the county of Évreux in the Duchy of Normandy, disputed between Kingdom of France, France and Kingdom of England, England during parts of the Hundred Years' War. It was successively ...
as Amaury II from 1137 to 1140.
He was the son of
Amaury III de Montfort, lord of
Montfort l'Amaury and count of Évreux, and Agnes of Garlande.
The Montforts were the vassals of the king of France for Montfort and also vassals to the king of England (in their capacity as Dukes of Normandy) for Évreux. Due to this, the Montforts were caught between the rivalry of the two kingdoms. Amaury III had attempted to solve this problem by leaving Évreux to his elder son Amaury IV and Montfort to his younger son Simon III.
Amaury IV accordingly succeeded his father as Count of Évreux, but survived him by only three years, dying unmarried and without children. He was succeeded his brother,
Simon III, reuniting the Montfort titles.
