Simon II of Sponheim-Kreuznach

Simon II (c. 1270–1336) was a count of the Sponheim-Kreuznach line. After his father John I died in 1290, he ruled the front County of Sponheim with his brother John II; around 1300 they divided it, Simon taking the north around Kastellaun.

He granted Kastellaun city rights in 1305. His feud with Archbishop Baldwin of Trier dominated his later years: Baldwin captured Sprendlingen and besieged Kastellaun in 1320–1321. Simon died in 1336 and was buried at Kastellaun, succeeded by his son Walram.
