https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_I_de_Senlis,_Earl_of_Huntingdon-Northampton

Simon I de Senlis (or Senliz), 1st Earl of Northampton and 2nd Earl of Huntingdon jure uxoris (died between 1111 and 1113; most likely 1111 as this is when his castle at Northampton passed to the crown) was a Norman nobleman.

In 1098 he was captured during the Vexin campaign of King William Rufus and was subsequently ransomed. He witnessed King Henry I’s Charter of Liberties issued at his coronation in 1100. He attested royal charters in England from 1100 to 1103, 1106 to 1107, and 1109 to 1111. Sometime in the period 1093–1100, he and his wife, Maud, founded the Priory of St Andrew's, Northampton. He witnessed a grant of King Henry I to Bath Abbey on 8 August 1111 at Bishop's Waltham, as the king was crossing to Normandy. Simon de Senlis subsequently went abroad and died at La Charité-sur-Loire, where he was buried in the new priory church. The date of his death is uncertain.

Notes:

Simon I de Senlis (or Senliz), 1st Earl of Northampton and 2nd Earl of Huntingdon "jure uxoris," was a Norman nobleman. In 1098, he was captured during the Vexin campaign of King William Rufus and subsequently was ransomed. He witnessed King Henry I’s Charter of Liberties that were issued at his coronation in 1100. He attested royal charters in England from 1100 to 1103, 1106 to 1007, and 1109 to 1011. Sometime in the period 1093 to 1100, he and his wife Maud founded the Priory of St Andrew's, Northampton. He witnessed a grant of King Henry I to Bath Abbey on August 8, 1111, at Bishop's Waltham, as the king was crossing to Normandy. He built Northampton Castle, the town walls and one of the four remaining round churches in England, The Holy Sepulchre, Northampton. He subsequently went abroad and died at La Charité-sur-Loire, where he was buried in the new priory church. The date of his death is uncertain.

Simon was the third son of Laudri de Senlis, Sire of Chantilly and Ermenonville, in Picardy, and his spouse Ermengarde. In or before 1090, Simon married Maud of Huntingdon, daughter of Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria, Northampton and Huntingdon, and the better-connected Judith of Lens. Judith was the niece of William the Conqueror, who earlier had wanted Judith to marry Simon, but she had refused and fled abroad to avoid William's wrath.

Simon and Maude had three children: Simon II de Senlis, Earl of Huntingdon-Northampton; Waltheof of Melrose; Saer de Quincy, Magna Carta Surety; and Maud de Senlis, who married first Robert Fitz Richard of the de Clare family of Little Dunmow, Essex, and had issue, then, after Robert's death, she married Saer de Quincy, Lord of Long Buckby in Northamptonshire, and had Robert de Quincy, who was father of Alice de Senlis (St. Liz), the mother of Sir William de Huntingfield, Magna Carta surety.

Following Simon's death, his widow Maud married, at about Christmas 1113, David I, nicknamed "the Saint," who became King of Scots in 1124. David was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon to the exclusion of his step-son Simon, and the earldom of Northampton reverted to the crown. Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon, the Queen of Scots, died in 1130/31.

In popular culture
Simon was featured in Alan Moore's book "Voice of the Fire" as the main character of the chapter "Limping to Jerusalem."
