Montgomery Wythe
The Prince Montgomery Wythe, born at Raynor's Keep, 1589, and died in Shirekeep in 1710 at the age of 121, was a Shirerithian nobleman and prince. Duke of Goldshire 1591–1594. The eldest son of Kaiser Wythe, Montgomery inherited his father's estate and titles upon the untimely death of the father in 1591. As a two-year-old duke, his government was conducted by a regency. The regency was so ineffective that imperial rule was set on Goldshire in 1594 whereupon Montgomery lost the title Duke of Goldshire; he was therafter titled Count of Elsenar until 1633 when the title was given to King Noah. He was nonetheless titled Prince as the son of a former kaiser. He was educated at the Wendor School, and as an adult, he devoted himself to managing the family estate. In 1673, during the Kalirion Fracture, he left Goldshire, disagreeing with the formation of Ransenar, and moved to Shirekeep, where he continued to reside until his death in 1710 at the age of 121. He lived in the household of his nephew, the Steward Lord Holly-Wythe.
Rumoured to be asexual, he had never married and remained childless.
