Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage: Volume 9: Montagu (PROPOSED CORRECTIONS)


MONTAGU

Volume 9, page 96:
He [Henry Pole, Lord Montagu (d. 1538/9)] m., before May 1520, Jane, da. of George (NEVILLE), LORD ABERGAVENNY, by his first wife, Margaret, da. and h. of Sir Hugh FENNE.
Note c:
He [Henry Pole, known as Lord Montagu (d. 1538/9)] was tried by 27 of his peers, who unanimously found him guilty (3rd Rep., D.K. Pub. Records, pp. 255-257). His younger brother, Sir Geoffrey Pole, and his wife's brother, Sir Edward Neville, and 3 others were tried for high treason on 4 Dec. [1538] (Idem, pp. 251-254) ...

Douglas Richardson, in August 2002, produced evidence that Jane was the daughter of George (Neville), Lord Abergavenny (d. 1535) by his first wife, Joan Arundel (and thus a granddaughter of the George Neville mentioned above) [arguing from chronology and citing George Neville's will - PCC 35 Hogen - and a dispensation for the marriage of Jane's daughter, Katherine Pole, to Sir Francis Hastings, said to be related in the 3rd and 4th degrees of kindred - Canterbury and York Society, vol. 37, pp. 22-25 (1930)].

Sir Edward Neville, mentioned in the footnote, was therefore her uncle, not her brother.

[This question was also discussed by Leo van de Pas and Melissa Davis.]

Volume 9, page 99:
He [Anthony Browne, Viscount Montagu (d. 1592)] m., 1stly, Jane, da. of Robert (RADCLIFFE), 1st EARL OF SUSSEX, by his 2nd wife, Margaret, da. of Thomas (STANLEY), 2nd EARL OF DERBY. She d. in childbed, at Cowdray, 22 July, and was bur. 4 Aug. 1552, at Midhurst, aged 20.

Adrian Channing, in February 2002, pointed out evidence suggesting that the year given above for Jane's death is incorrect, and should perhaps be 1553 [citing Mrs. Charles Roundell, Cowdray: The History of a Great English House, p. 23 (1884)].
