Gabriel, comte de Montgomery, captain of the Scottish Guard of Henry II of France (b. 1530)
Gabriel de Lorges, Count of Montgomery, Lord of Lorges and Ducey, (5 May 1530 – 26 June 1574) was a French nobleman of Scottish extraction and captain of the Scots Guard of King Henry II of France. He is remembered for mortally injuring Henry II in a jousting accident and subsequently converting to Protestantism, the faith that the Scots Guard sought to suppress. He became a leader of the Huguenots. In French-language contexts, his name is spelled Montgommery.
