<< Has anyone the ancestry of Sir Edward Montagu (b. abt 1500), Lord Chief
Justice of England in the reign of Henry VIII and executor of his will?

The DNB says he "claimed" descent from the Montagu earls of Salisbury,
but in the DNB that is usually code for "we don't believe a word of it." >>

Burke's Dormant & Extinct Peerages, p. 374, has him as son of Thomas Montagu,
Esq., with no further info.
