释义 |
LifeHe was born the 2nd son of Thomas Montagu of Hemington, Northamptonshire and Agnes Dudley, daughter of William Dudley of Clopton, Northamptonshire, and Christiana Darrel. He was admitted to Middle Temple on 22 May 1506 and served as Autumn Reader for the Inn in 1524 and 1531. He was appointed Lord Chief Justice of the Court of the King's Bench in 1539, which office he resigned in 1545 when he was constituted Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. He was a member of the Privy Council of King Henry VIII of England, who appointed him one of sixteen executors of his last will, and governor to his son Edward. During the crisis of 1553 when Edward VI wished to alter the succession in favour of Lady Jane Grey, Montagu protested at the illegality of the proceedings. However, when the Duke of Northumberland called him a traitor and threatened him with physical violence, he withdrew his protest.[2] He was imprisoned in the Tower of London on Mary's accession but bought his way out. He bought the manor of Boughton, near Kettering, Northamptonshire and built the family seat of Boughton House on the site. FamilyHe married three times, firstly to Agnes Kirkham, secondly to Cicely Lane. By his third wife Elenor, daughter of John Roper of Well Hall, Eltham, Kent he had eleven children (five sons and six daughters). His eldest surviving son, Edward (1532–1602), was father of eight sons and four daughters, including:
His widow died in May 1563. See also
