  • Notes 
    • Last Montgomery with the title of Earl of Eglinton. The Earldom passed to Alexander Seton third son of Margaret Montgomery and Robert Seton, Earl of Winton.

      Hugh had fought with King Gustav of Sweden with distinction in the 30 years war. After losing the title of Eglinton to Alexander Seton, Hugh returned to Sweden and established the Montgomery line which continues in that country to this day.(1994).

      From History and Origin of the Montgomerys, by B.G.de Montgomery, pg. 113-114:
      "Hugh, Fifth Earl of Eglinton (1586-1612), was only a small boy when he was bereaved of his father, and he was also motherless, for his mother had died soon after he was born. However, his uncle, Robert Boyd of Bedinheath, saw to it that he was well educated, and the King took great interest in the infant Earl. In 1598 James VI arranged a marriage contract between Eglinton and Lady Gabriella Stuart, sister of the Duke of Lennox. This contract was never fulfilled, since the lady who should thus be coerced into marriage preferred to take the veil and enter a nunnery in France. But a second marriage was arranged for the young Earl, and this time by his own uncle, Robert Montgomery of Giffen, Master of Eglinton, whose choice fell on his eldest daughter, Margaret. This marriage of cousins, calculated to unite the possessions of the family, turned out to be unhappy and childless. The fifth Earl of Eglinton, the last Montgomery with that title, died on 4th September, 1612."
