Britannia Biographies: John Montacute, 3rd Earl of Salisbury |
 | | Upon those occasions, Froissart identifies him as nephew to the Earl of Salisbury, but where the name of "Sir John Montacute" occurs in the public records between the years 1370 and 1390 (the latter being the date of his father's death), it is difficult to decide whether it applies to father or son. |
 | | Salisbury, in his turn, endeavoured to extenuate his conduct upon grounds similar to those which had been pleaded by his former confederates, averring that he had not been the author or contriver of the bill of appeal, and his ignorance even of its purport until commanded by the late King to join in the proceeding. |
 | | Of the daughters, Anne married, firstly, Sir Richard Hankford, secondly, Sir John FitzLewis, and, thirdly, John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter; Margaret married William, Lord Ferrers of Groby; and Elizabeth married Robert, Lord Willoughby of Eresby. |
