Biography
"Simon held the Bedford barony for over fifty years, including a nine-year minority. The Beauchamp family clearly had a claim to be hereditary constables of Bedford Castle, but it was not acknowledged as a formality: in 1189/90 Simon had to pay £100 for custody of the castle. From 1194 to 1197 he served as sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, but only after paying 200 marks for the privilege. Simon was succeeded by his son, William." (Ref: ODNB)
The Beauchamp family arms were [much later] quarterly or and gules, a bend gules.
His wife is unknown. He has been detached from Isabel (Wake) Beauchamp (-bef.1295) as she married a later Simon.[1]
