Notities over Hugh de Montgomery , 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury, Earldom of: His [Roger, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury's] son, the2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (or Shropshire) of the 1074 creation, was killedby a missile launched from a Norse (or conceivably Irish) raiding partyoff the Anglesey coast while riding along the forshore on that islandtrying to fend them off. He was accounted gentle by the English andNormans but a Hammer by the Welsh. Under the systerm then prevailing theEarldom passed to an elder brother, Robert de Belleme, who constructedBridgnorth Castle and continued the family policy of harrying the Welsh.He rebelled against Henry I and in 1102 was deprived of the Earldom ofShrewsbury/Shropshire, together with his English and Welsh estates.[Burke's Peerage, p. 2604]

EARLDOM OF ARUNDEL (II) 1094

EARLDOM OF SHREWSBURY (II) 1094

HUGH (DE MONTGOMERY), EARL OF SHREWSBURY, 3rd but 2nd surviving son by1st wife, was born probably between 1053 and 1059 (b). In December 1079he was at the Castle of Bures when his mother was murdered there and hepursued the murderers in vain. In the summer of 1080 at Caen he joinedhis brothers in attesting his father's charter for Troarn for the soul oftheir mother. Before his father's death he was already recognised as hisheir in England. In 1092 he was at the siege of Breval and with othermagnates he made peace between William de Bréteuil and Ascelin Goel. OnRoger's death in 1094 he succeeded him as EARL OF SHROPSHIRE orSHREWSBURY and to all his lands in England and Wales. In that year theWelsh rose in arms. Hugh fought them with some success in North Wales,but in 1095 they took Montgomery and slaughtered the garrison. Hugh tookpart in the conspiracy against William II in 1095, but he bought theKing's favour for £3,000. In 1098 with the Earl of Chester he invaded andconquered Anglesey, treating the Welsh with great cruelty. When aNorwegian fleet appeared off the coast of North Wales, the 2 Earls met atDiganwy (co. Carnarvon) and crossed to Anglesey. As the fleet approachedthe land, the Earl rode along the shore and was struck by an arrow shot,or a javelin thrown, from a ship and fell dying into the sea. Thus hedied unmarried about 31 July 1098 and was buried about 17 August atShrewsbury Abbey.[d] [Complete Peerage XI:688-9, (transcribed by DaveUtzinger)]

(b) He may or may not have been the 3rd child. According to a Welshannalist, he was fighting in Wales in 1072; but this seems impossiblyearly. [Note: I think that many of Roger II's children were born earlierthan CP states.]

[d] The Normans and English long sought for his corpse, drawn away by thetide, and found it at length; and on the 17th day after his death bore itto Shrewsbury, where it was buried in the abbey amid great mourning. Hewas the only one of the sons of Mabel who was gentle and amiable. Thisseems hardly compatible with the alleged cruelties to the Welsh inAnglesey.

Note: Hugh died unmarried, but I have a son, undoubtedly illegitimate, byhim.
