Hugh of Montgomery, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (d. 1098) was an Anglo-Norman a
ristocrat.
He was the second surviving son of Roger of Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrews
bury and Mabel of Bellême. As was typical of the first post-conquest gener
ation, he inherited most of his father's English possessions while his old
er brother Robert of Bellême, 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury inherited the Contine
ntal possessions.
During his four years as earl, he spent most of his time in the Welsh Marc
hes fighting against the Welsh. In 1098, he joined forces with Hugh d'Avra
nches, 1st Earl of Chester in an attempt to recover Anglesey, which was lo
st by Hugh of Chester in the Welsh revolt of 1094. He was killed there whi
le fighting off a raid by King Magnus Barefoot of Norway at the eastern e
nd of the Menai Straits, shot dead by an arrow said to have been fir
ed by Magnus himself.
Hugh was never married, and while it is likely he intended his younger bro
ther Arnulf of Montgomery to be his heir, his properties were inherit
ed by the elder brother Robert.
