General Notes:
"The date of his succession is not certain, but he appears first on record in August 1483, when as Hugh, Lord Montgomerie, he granted a charter to Alexander Montgomerie, younger of Giffen. Yet in a later writ on 5 June 1484, an instrument of sasine to his extensive lands, as heir to his great-grandfather, he is described in the preamble as Hugh Montgomerie, Knight, and having received sasine he is styled Hugh, Lord Montgomerie, and so in future writs. In this sasine the lands are said to have been in the hands of the Crown since 1470, which leaves his father's succession doubtful, and he himself may have, as a minor, succeeded directly to his great-grandfather."
from Scots Peerage (vol 3) 2
