Montacute is the Latin spelling of the English name Montague. The spelling of the names in this genealogy are those most encountered during the research. There is no doubt concerning the lineage of Robert Montague and Richard Montacute since they both bore the same Coat of Arms. The spelling change of the name seems to be consistent after Edward. Some list Edward as Montacute and others as Montague.

The Boveney family bear the Coat of Arms of Sir Simon Montague of A.D. 1300, which arms were also born by his son lord William Montacute and by his grandson the first Earl of Salisbury. The Boveney family bear the same name as the descendants of Drogo. They were residing in A.D. 1500 in the same locality and country of England where the descendants of Drogo had held possessions and manors in A.D. 1400 and for centuries before. They bear the same Arms which alone would seem to silently but surely denote that they are a branch of the same family. Where and when the separation took place is not known, but it would seem probable that the Boveney branch left the main stream, after the year 1300 and before the year 1400, or between those dates, for their Coat of Arms was not in existence until adopted by Sir Simon Montacute A.D. 1300.
