  • Notes 
    • Seigneur de Villiers-Morhier. Seigneur de Saint-Piat, de Talvoisin, de Montlouet, de Montaglaut, de Roquemont, de Mesnil-Aubry, de Thour-en-Ardenne, Châtelain de Houdan.

      Like Catherine de Gavre's first husband Guy Le Bouteillier, he was a collabo. "Simon Morhier went into the English service after the capture of Paris in 1420; named by them as provost of Paris in 1422, he remained in this position until the recapture of Paris by Charles VII in April 1436. He then followed the English into Normandy; it was thus at the beginning of the year 1440, he married the widow of Guy Le Bouteillier and in his turn became seigneur and defender of LaRoche-Guyon. Captured at Torey-le-Grand on 25 February 1449 by the French in Dieppe, he died before October 1452 and was buried in Saint-Honoré de Paris."
