 Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich, 1625-72
Edward Montagu (also spelt "Mountagu") was the eldest surviving son of Sir Sydney Montagu of Hinchingbrooke, Huntingdonshire, a courtier to King James I. Like his cousin the Earl of Manchester (also named Edward Montagu), he supported Parliament on the outbreak of civil war in 1642.
In March 1659, Montagu commanded a fleet sent to the Baltic to defend England's commercial interests and to counteract a Dutch attempt to intervene in the war between Sweden and Denmark, but his diplomatic efforts were interrupted by the fall of the Protectorate and the return to power of the Purged Parliament in May 1659.
Realising that the restoration of the monarchy was inevitable, Montagu co-operated with Monck and proceeded to purge the fleet of republican and radical officers.

 Sandwich Kent England UK: Origin of the Sandwich
The 1st Earl, Edward Montagu, originally intended to take the title of the Earl of Portsmouth - this may have been changed as a compliment to the town of Sandwich, because the fleet he was commanding in 1660 was lying off Sandwich, before it sailed to bring back Charles II to England.
It is generally thought here, that the word 'sandwich' as an item of food, has no connection with the town, only with John Montagu, who happened to have the title, a 'sandwich' could just as easily have been called a 'portsmouth' if the 1st Earl, Edward Montagu, had not changed his mind.
The image of John Montagu replaces an earlier image and is reproduced by kind permission of the Guildhall 2004.
