House of Montagu

p183_1_00.jpg

Montagu

  • Sir Edward Montagu (c. 1485-1557) Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Son of Thomas Montague of Hemington (d.1516). The parentage of this Thomas is not proved, though a fabulous descent from Simon, stated to have been the brother of John Montagu, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, is generally attributed to him. It is stated (1812) by Sir Egerton Brydges, in Collins, vol. ii, p. 42, "that the late Mr. Thorpe suspected this family to be descended from James Montagu, a natural son of Thomas the [4th and] last Earl of Salisbury".The bordure round the arms of the present family favours the idea. Other sources states that they descended from Richard Montagu alias Ladde, a yeoman or husbandman, living in 1471. He was the father of Sir Edward Montagu of Boughton Castle .
