  William Montacute (alias Montagu), King of the Isle of Man, 1st Earl of Salisbury & 3rd Baron Montagu (1301–1344) was an English nobleman and loyal servant of King Edward III.
  William was born in Cassington in Oxfordshire, the eldest son of William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu and Elizabeth Montfort. He succeeded to his father's title in 1319.
  
  Montacute accompanied Edward III in repelling the Scottish invasion of 1327. The next year he served Edward on diplomatic missions to the King of France and to the Pope. In 1330, at the behest of the King, Montacute and some of his men arrested Roger Mortimer, and after Mortimer's execution Montacute received a good part of the forfeited estates.
  
  Montacute took part in the Scottish campaigns of the following years, notably at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333. In the same year the King gave Montacute the English claim to the Isle of Man.
  He was created Earl of Salisbury on 16 March 1337. In 1338 the new earl went on a lengthy diplomatic mission, first to France to declare King Edward claims to the French crown, and then to visit many of the German princes who might ally against France. Later that year he was made Marshall of England.
  
  During the next two years, he was one of the commanders of the English forces in Flanders, until he was captured by the French near Lille. He was released later in 1340 as part of a prisoner exchange, on the condition that he never again fight against the French. It was probably sometime after his return to England that he conquered the Isle of Man, which had been held by the Scots. He won and was crowned to King of Man in 1344.
  
  Lord Salisbury died on 30 January 1344 from bruises said to have been received during a Windsor tournament. He was buried at Bisham Priory in Berkshire, which he had founded in 1337 adjoining his home, Bisham Manor.
  He married Catherine Grandison, daughter of William Grandison, 1st Baron Grandison. Legend holds that Edward III was in love with her, and that it was her dropped garter from which the Order of the Garter derives its name. The matter is disputed, but the garter at least is more likely to have belonged to Joan of Kent, who was engaged to her son. There is also a story that the king raped the countess, but this is probably a fruit of French propaganda.
