Montgomery of Cubley

The Montgomerys of Cubley were a prominent Derbyshire family which prospered under the Ferrers family, and later the House of Lancaster, by reason of their land tenure. They had considerable landed interests in Staffordshire, as well as Derbyshire and Northamptonshire. Established in Cubley at Domesday, the male line of the Montgomery family failed in 1517.

Traditional pedigrees state that RALPH, the ancestor of the Montgomery family, was holding Cubley, Snelston, Derbyshire and four hides in Ecton, Northamptonshire of Henry de Ferrers in 1086. Keats-Rohan specifically identifies him as a Montgomery but there is no indication whether descent followed male or female succession .... more
