No, he's not related to Romeo. That would be Montague, not Montagu.
You probably know John Montagu better as the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Yeah, that guy. Of course, Sandwich isn't a family name, but rather a place in England.
Seems mightily unfair, doesn't it? We're remembering the wrong name. We should all be eating roast beef montagus. Bought at Quizno's Montagus.
Incidentally, John Montagu, Fourth Earl of Sandwich was also responsible for an early name for Hawaii.
Just some food for thought next time you eat a montagu.
