Agnès was the daughter of Richard d'Evreux and Godechilde (widow of Roger "de Conches" de Tosny), so she was raised as a younger sister of the de Tosny children. She married Simon I de Montfort, Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury, apparently having been abducted by her half-brother Ralph de Tosny and traded to Simon in marriage as his third wife, in exchange for Ralph to marry Simon's sister Isabel.

Through her rights to the honor of Evreux, her heirs became Comtes d'Evreux.

Children:

• Richard de Montfort, Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury
• Simon II de Montfort, Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury
• Bertrade de Montfort m. Fulk IV "le Rechin" Comte d'Anjou and Philippe I King of France
• Amaury de Montfort, Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury and Comte d'Evreux

AGNES d'Evreux . Orderic Vitalis says that Ralph de Tosny "carried…away by night" his uterine sister and gave her in marriage to Simon de Montfort, receiving in return Simon's daughter Isabel as his wife[1577]. In other passages Orderic names her and specifies that she was the daughter of Richard and sister of Guillaume[1578]. m as his third wife, SIMON Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury, son of AMAURY Seigneur de Montfort & his wife Bertrade --- (-25 Sep [1087], bur Epernon).

Simon & his third wife had four children:

4. RICHARD de Montfort (-killed in battle [Nov 1092], bur Epernon[147]). Orderic Vitalis records that he succeeded his half-brother in [1089] as Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury and "was relentless in his attempts to take vengeance on Guillaume de Breteuil for Amaury's fate"[148]. He was mortally wounded in an attack on Conches, during the war between Raoul [III] de Tosny and Guillaume Comte d'Evreux triggered by the enmity between their wives[149].

5. SIMON [II] de Montfort (-24 or 25 Sep after 1104). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. He succeeded his brother in [1092] as Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "VII Kal Oct" of "Symon de Monteforti"[150]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Simon miles de Monteforti"[151].

6. BERTRADE de Montfort (-Fontevrault end-1115/1116, bur church of the priory of Hautes-Bruyères, Saint-Remy-l’Honoré, Yvelines). Her parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[152]. The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses names "Fulconi Richin Andegavensi comiti uxorem suam nomine Bertradam" as second wife of King Philippe whom he abducted from her first husband after repudiating his first wife[153]. William of Tyre records this marriage[154]. Pope Urban II at the Council of Autun excommunicated the king 16 Oct 1094, confirmed at the Council of Clermont 18/28 Nov 1095[155]. The church finally admitted the validity of the marriage after the Council of Paris 2 Dec 1104[156]. Orderic Vitalis alleges that Bertrade tried to poison her stepson Louis so her own sons could succeed to the throne[157]. "Fulco iunior Andegavensium comes Fulconis comitis filius" donated property to the abbey of Fontevraud with the consent of "Bertrade regina matre meo, Philipo fratre meo" by charter dated to [1109/1112/13][158]. m firstly (1089, divorced [15 May 1092]) as his fifth wife, FOULQUES IV "le Réchin" Comte d'Anjou, son of GEOFFROY II Comte de Gâtinais, Seigneur de Château-Landon & his wife Ermengarde d'Anjou (1043-14 Apr 1109). m secondly (Paris 1092, before 27 Oct) bigamously as his second wife, PHILIPPE I King of France, son of HENRI I King of France & his third wife Anna Iaroslavna of Kiev (1052-château de Melun, Seine-et-Marne 30 Jul 1108, bur Abbaye Saint Benoît-sur-Loire). King Philippe I was excommunicated by Pope Urban II at the Council of Autun 16 Oct 1094 for this bigamous second marriage. The church finally admitted the validity of the marriage after the Council of Paris 2 Dec 1104.

7. AMAURY de Montfort (-[18/19] Apr after 1136). His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[159]. He succeeded his brother after [1104] as Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury. He succeeded as Comte d'Evreux.
