Sir Hugh Montgomery
1st Viscount Montgomery of the Great Ards (c. 1560 - 15 May 1636) was an aristocrat and a soldier, known as one of the "founding fathers" of the Ulster-Scots along with Sir James Hamilton, 1st Viscount Claneboye and he is my 11th great grandfather.
Hugh Montgomery was appointed one of the squires of the body and attended the King on his journey to Westminster for the coronation in 1603. He was knighted in 1605, and by an Act of Parliament 20th July 1610 he and his sons Hugh and James were naturalized in England. On 3rd May 1622 he was raised to the peerage and created Viscount Montgomery of Great Ardes.
This was not a distinction conferred upon a court favorite but the reward of valuable services. Montgomery had acquired large estates in Northern Ireland and was the leader of the plantation of that country at the beginning of the seventeenth century. In his letters patent stress was laid upon his merits, especially in restoring peace and order in Ulster after the rebellion, spreading the Protestant faith and turning the inhabitants of Ardes into the King's loyal citizens.
Montgomery's acquisition of big domains in Ulster had taken place with the King's consent. It was, in fact, a link in the policy deliberately pursued by the English Government of placing reliable Scotsmen on the big estates and in key-positions in Ulster in order to gain complete control of this territory. With Ulster securely in their hands the English Government could more easily master the situation in the rest of the country.
