Baron Montagu of Beaulieu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Montagu of Beaulieu is a peerage title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1885 and is still extant.
The first title to be created in the name of Beaulieu was for Edward Hussey. He was married in 1743 to Isabella Montagu, widow of the 2nd Duke of Manchester and daughter of the 2nd Duke of Montagu, and adopted the surname of Hussey-Montagu in 1749. He was created Baron Beaulieu in 1762 and Earl of Beaulieu in 1784. Both titles were in the Peerage of Great Britain, and became extinct on his death in 1802. By 1845 the representation of the Montagu family (along with that of the Douglases, Dukes of Queensberry) had passed to the Scotts, Dukes of Buccleuch, who adopted the surname of Montagu-Douglas-Scott. Lord Henry Montagu-Douglas-Scott, second son of the 5th Duke of Buccleuch, was created Baron Montagu of Beaulieu in 1885 and thereafter changed his name to Douglas-Scott-Montagu.
