James Montague (c. 1568 – 20 July 1618) was an English bishop.[2]

Life

He was the son of Sir Edward Montagu of Boughton and Elizabeth Harington, and grandson of Edward Montagu.[3][4][5]

He was a graduate of

Arminians.[11][12] With the other courtiers Sir Robert Darcy and John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton, Montague introduced to court circles, and especially those around Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, the Puritan Arthur Hildersham, and the radical religious figures Henry Jacob and John Burges.[13]

He edited the collected works of James I; it has been said that his introductions "push the art of panegyric close to deification".

Cardinal Bellarmine.[15][16]

He was

Holy Thorn of Glastonbury, in an entertainment for Anne of Denmark, when the character of Joseph of Arimathea presented boughs to the Queen.[22] He is buried in an alabaster tomb in Bath Abbey.[23]
