Talk:Montgomery

France

The French locality referred to in the article--is it the same as Colleville-Montgomery? I've found some links to that place online. ~ 168.103.97.214 23:24, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was trying to reduce the number of pages that link here and discovered there are several references to a Montgomery in Normandy that link here. Not sure if any of the three French links presently on the page are correct. This may be a historical town as the links seem to be from Medieval topics so far. Anyone with a good working history of Normandy is welcome to do some disambiguation and perhaps write a missing article. --J Clear (talk) 01:48, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All the Montgomery names originate from Montgommery (now divided into Sainte-Foy and Saint-Germain, Calvados, spelled Montgomery, etc..as well), because Roger de Montgomery was one of the lords who took part with William the Conqueror to the conquest of Great-Britain, who gave him many lands. On the contrary, Montgomery was added to Colleville after W.W. II, to make Colleville-Montgomery to remember Bernard Montgomery in the former Britsh sector Sword Beach and to make the difference with Colleville-sur-Mer in the American sector Omaha Beach Nortmannus (talk) 00:06, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
