He m2 Katherine 1460 daughter of John Lord Clifton of Buckenham Castle 1388 and Elizabeth daughter of Ralph, 1st Lord Cromwell of Tattersall and Maud de Bernake (Katherine was the widow of Ralph Green 1417 of Lowick flic.kr/p/5EGFRW )
Katherine was a very rich widow, her former husband having settled almost all his estates on trustees holding to his own use and that of his wife. He was careful to obtain a full release of whatever title his younger brother and next heir, John, had in the property, thus leaving his widow in possession of a very impressive jointure. Simon clearly did very well for himself out of the marriage. Although they were sued by John Green in the court of Chancery for reputedly failing to carry out the terms of his deceased brother’s will, it seems likely that the above-mentioned trustees were fairly scrupulous in this regard, and that John was, in fact, resentful of the handsome settlement made at his expense. Katherine lived on until 1460, when she was succeeded by her great-nephew, John the son of Sir John Knyvet son of John Knyvet 1417 of Mendlesham flic.kr/p/pQb3qb
