Died on this day in 1752 aged 44 Charles Mecklenburg-Strelitz , Duke of Mecklenburg (my toy,wikipedia). Father of Charlotte who married George III, and 9 other children. Mecklenburg-Strelitz was in Northern Germany.

Born on this day in 1328 to William Montagu and Catherine Grandison, William Montacute , 2nd Earl of Salisbury (my toy,wikipedia). Married Joan of Kent (mother of Richard II). However at the time she had already married (secretly) Thomas Holland, so William's marriage to her was annulled.

Montacute is an interesting variation on Montagu! I wonder how you get from one to the other.

(I often read these posts, by the way, I'm just bad at thinking of anything to comment. But they're very interesting.)

He, his father, and his grandfather are both Montague and de Montacute; the great grandfather doesn't merit a wikipedia page.
