Earl of Sandwich
About Earl of Sandwich
Earl of Sandwich is a noble title in the Peerage of England, held since its creation by the House of Montagu. It is nominally associated with Sandwich, Kent. It was created in 1660 for the prominent naval commander Admiral Sir Edward Montagu. He was made Baron Montagu of St Neots, of St Neots in the County of Huntingdon, and Viscount Hinchingbrooke, at the same time, also in the Peerage of England. The viscountcy is used as the courtesy title by the heir apparent to the earldom. A member of the prominent Montagu family, Lord Sandwich was the son of Sir Sidney Montagu, youngest brother of Henry Montagu, 1st Earl of Manchester, and Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu of Boughton.

Your Majesty, I have some new Hornby stuff if we'd like to talk about the railways. He had to commission a model of the historic dockyards. They weren't historic at the time. They were just called the dockyards. Yeah, he was a fascinating guy. He was once described the Earl of Sandwich as looking like he was walking down both sides of the street at once.
