The Clan Montgomery

The Clan Montgomery Wizarding Branch

George of Montgomery

• lesser known brother of Robert of Montgomery and first official wizard of Montgomery, descendant of wizards from more ancient times. He was feared for his strange abilities by outsiders and within the family, known for his talent for curses and was said to bring bad fortune wherever he went. He first established his portion of power through the marriage to the Eglinton family in the 14th century and kept a secret council with the earls to come.

Nicolas Montgomery

• son of George Montgomery, who fought alongside Sir John Montgomery at the Battle of Otterburn in 1388 and helped secure John’s victory by helping him with the capture of Sir Henry “Hotspur” Percy and was given part of the ransom which he set aside. This action has been said to be the first account of the Montgomery Fortune, though it remains unclear if he set aside these funds for that reason.

Oliver and Hugo Montgomery

• sons of Nicolas Montgomery who both started the fire of Cunningham Castle, aided by many of the Montgomery family. When the Eglinton Castle was burned down by the Cunninghams in 1528, however, they were blamed for it and were cast away in exile.

Richard, Zacharias, and Lillian Montgomery

• Children of Oliver and Hugo. Zacharias was the one who instigated the death of Hugh Montgomery and successfully let the blame fall upon Alexander of Montgreenan. It was to avenge his father and uncle for being exiled.

-Afterwards, the wizard side of the Clan Montgomery stayed out of the muggle side affairs unless it was a clan wide emergency.
-Note: Zacharias had become the leader of the Clan Montgomery Wizarding Branch.

He rode to Montgreenan and shot the Commendator at his own gate.
  
  
• Sir John Montgomery (who lead the clan at the Battle of Otterburn in 1388 where the English were defeated.)
  
  
• Hugh Montgomery, 4th Earl of Eglinton, shot from the pistol of Jogn Cunningham of Clonbeith Castle. His horse carried his dead body along the side of the river, still known as the ‘Weeping,’ ‘Mourning’ or ‘Widows’ path.
  
  
• Margaret Montgomery, daughter of Alexander, 6th Earl of Englinton, was wed to Lord High Chancellor William Cunningham, 9th Earl of Glencairn, to end the feud in 1661, appointed by the government of King James VI of Scotland.
  
  
• The 2nd Earl of Eglinton led the Clan Montgomery in support of Mary, Queen of Scots, at the Battle of Langside in 1568, where the Queen was defeated. The Earl was declared guilty of treason and imprisoned in Doune Castle. When the Earl, chief of Clan Montgomery, was released he tried to secure the safety and toleration of Catholics in the wake of the Reformation.
  
  
• In 1600 the Clan MacAlister attacked the Clan Montgomery. They seized everything belonging to the Chief John Montgomery of Skelmorlie including £12,000 worth of possessions. Two years later, chief Archibald MacAlister along with Angus Og MacDonald carried out a similar attack on the inhabitants of the Isle of Bute against the Clan Stuart. A year afterwards, Archibald MacAlister and Angus Og MacDonald were accused of being rebels, charged with treason and hanged in Edingurgh Tollbooth.
  
  
• When the 2nd Earl of Eglinton, chief of the Clan Montgomery, was released after the battle of Langside, his daughter, Lady Margaret, married Robert Seton of the Clan Seton, the 1st Earl of Winton who was a loyal Covenanter during the Civil War. Their son, Alexander Seton, took his mother’s maiden name of Montgomery and became the 6th Earl of Eglinton. He was a Protestant supporter of King Charles II. He was impriosoned by General Monch for his Royalist sympathies in 1659.

• The 11th Earl and chief of Clan Montgomery raised the British 77th Foot Highlanders Regiment from members of the clan. Their exploits in the campaign against the French are legend, and it was this regiment, under General Forbes, which renaimed modern Pittsburgh. General Richard Montgomery was killed in the storming of Quebec on December 31, 1775. He was the first American general to die in the Revolution. He became a symbol of all that was finest in the leaders of the American Revolution.
  
  
• Field Marshal, Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein was from the direct line of the Scottish Montgomerys who settled in Ireland in 1628. Among his honours are the Order of the Garter, Order of the Bath, and Distinguished Service Order, and membership of the Pivy Council of the United Kingdom. He was a Bristish Army officer, often referred to as “Monty”. He successfully commanded Allied forces at the Battle of El Alamein, a major battle in World War II, and troops under his command were largely responsible for the expulsion of Axis forces from North Africa. He was later a senior commander in Italy and North-West Europe, where he was a in command of all Allied ground forces during Operation Overlord and then until after the Battle of Normandy.
