Everything about Richard Montagu totally explained
Richard Montagu (or
Mountague) (
1577 –
April 13,
1641),
English divine, was born at Dorney,
Buckinghamshire and educated at
Eton and
Cambridge.
In
1613, he was elected fellow of Eton and became rector of
Stanford Rivers,
Essex. He was appointed to the deanery of
Hereford in 1616, but exchanged it next year for a canonry of
Windsor, which he held with the rectory of
Petworth, Sussex. He was also chaplain to
James I.
Like
William Laud, he disliked the extremes of
Calvinism and
Roman Catholicism, and this attitude constantly involved him in difficulties. About 1619 he came into collision with some
Roman Catholics in his parish, and
Matthew Kellison (1560?-1642) attacked him in a pamphlet entitled
The Gagg of the Reformed Gospell (Douai, 1623). Montagu replied with
A Gagg for the New Gospell? No. A New Gagg for an Old Goose (London, 1624). The publication of the
Immediate Addresse unto God alone (London, 1624) incensed the
Puritans, who appealed to the
House of Commons, but Montagu was protected by the king.
After the appearance of his famous
Appello Caesarem (London, 1625) his case frequently came before Parliament and conferences of bishops, but his influence at court and with Laud enabled him to hold his ground. He was consecrated
Bishop of Chichester in 1628, and became
Bishop of Norwich in 1638.
