Bertrade de Montfort was a French noblewoman who was born in the early 1070s in Montfort-l'Amaury, France. She was the daughter of Simon I de Montfort, a powerful lord in the region. Bertrade was married twice, first to Fulk IV, Count of Anjou, and later to King Philip I of France.
Bertrade married Fulk IV in 1089 when she was only a teenager. Together they had two children before Fulk's death in 1109. Bertrade then married Philip I of France in 1104, and they had several children together.
Their marriage was controversial because Philip was already married when he married Bertrade. The Pope eventually annulled their marriage in 1116, but the couple continued to live together as if they were still married. Bertrade was a patron of the arts and was known for her beauty and intelligence.
She died in 1117 and was buried in the Basilica of St. Denis in northern Paris. Bertrade de Montfort is remembered today as a prominent figure in medieval European history and as a symbol of the power and influence of noblewomen in medieval times.
