Thomas Bromley, 2nd Baron Montfort, also known as Lord Montford, (January 1733 – 24 October 1799), was a British politician.
He was returned to Parliament as one of the two representatives for Cambridge in 1754, a seat he held until the following year,[2] when he entered the House of Lords at the age of 21 after his father had committed suicide.
After the war the officers resigned en masse, Royston declaring that Montfort's behaviour was impossible, and serving under him in the militia went against the grain with most people.
However, at the training in May 1774 Montfort was insulted and knocked down by members of Cambridge University; his men hesitated to help him until urged on by some of the bystanders.
However, when the militia were embodied in March 1778, Hardwicke forced Montfort to resign the command because no gentleman would serve under him, and there were consequently not enough officers.
