This is Simon IV de Montfort, not to be confused with his father Simon IV de Montfort about which we know little. Our de Montfort is therefore sometimes named Simon V de Montfort, but is not to be confused with his son Simon V de Montfort, who was hacked apart by royalists at Evesham.

....did someone forget how to count somewhere in this lineage?!

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.
