The Manor of <strong>Lackham</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> 3 : The Montagu family<br />

The third son of Henry Montagu was called James and it was he who founded<br />

the <strong>Lackham</strong> line of the Montagu family. It is said that he was born at<br />

Boughton in 1602 174 and was admitted to Sidney College Cambridge 175 in<br />

January 1624 176 . He may have been the James Montagu who was MP for<br />

Huntingdon 1629 but this is not certain 177 . He bore the arms of the<br />

Montagu family with the mullet – five pointed star - difference of the third<br />

son (this is not always found in later generation’s depictions although it<br />

should be)<br />
