Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONTGOMERY, GABRIEL, SEIGNEUR DE LORGES, COMTE DE (c. 1530-1574) , French soldier, became a lieutenant in the king of France's Scottish guards, of which his father was captain, and engaged in police operations against the Protestants. Having inadvertently caused the death of King
Henry
  II. in a tournament (June 30, 1559) he was disgraced and retired to his estates in Normandy. He studied theological questions and espoused the cause of the Reformers. In 1562 he allied himself with the prince of
Conde
 , took Bourges, and defended Rouen from September to October 1562 against the royal army. In the third War of Religion he occupied Bearn and Bigorre (1569). Escaping from the massacre of St Bartholomew, he went to England and returned with a
fleet
  for the relief of La Rochelle (1573), but soon had to withdraw to
Cornwall
 . Returning to Normandy in 1574, he defended Domfront, which was being besieged by
Marshal
  de Matignon, but was forced to capitulate on the 25th of May. He was sentenced to death by the parlement, and beheaded in Paris on the 26th of June 1574.
See L Marlet, Le Comte de Montgomery (Paris, 1890).
