Drogo de Montagu

Drogo was succeeded by his son and heir---

II. WILLIAM MONTACUTE 1

who erected a Monastery at Montacute Mountain and endowed it with the borough and Market of Montacute. An ancient record written about 1538 states, that--- "within the ruins of the Castle at Montacute is now a mean house for a farmer, the town hath a poor market and is builded of stone as commonly all towns thereabout be" -(Leland's Itinerary, Vol. 1, Oxford, 1710.")

But little is known with regard to this William Montacute except that, one author says---, "He was an only son" ---and that he took care of the estate left him by his father, and died leaving it entire to an only son.
