Mon. Erwan de Montfort, 7th Knight ChR ChM ChBE CR HC PCM (born 8 December 1961) is a Sydalene nobleman and politician. Since 26 September 2019, he has served as Chancellor of Sydalon. He previously served as Chancellor of Montgisard from 2013 to 2019. Throughout his political career he served in various offices throughout Montgisard. In 2012, he inherited the Montfort knighthood and a hereditary seat in the Montgisense House of Lords.

He was the first elected mayor of Destroit, winning the first two elections contested. He served two terms as mayor before his appointment to his first domain ministerial role. He is the son of Charles de Montfort, 6th Kt, former Viceroy of the Duchy of Vescera. Prior to his political career, Montfort worked as an attorney and lobbyist. From 2000 to 2003, Montfort was also a member of the Montgisene Attorney Grievance Commission.

Early life

He was born to a minor noble family on 8 December 1961, in Uerna, the capital of the Duchy of Vescera, Montgisard. At the time of his birth, his father was Viceroy of the Duchy. He has one sibling, an older sister. He attended primary school in Uerna, later attending secondary school in Montgisard. When he turned 18, he served in the Montgisene Home Guard to fulfill his mandatory military service requirement. In 1981, he enrolled at Eallasse College and studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

Montfort studied law at All Saints' College, in Sydalon, graduating in 1987. He was admitted to the Montgisene and national bar associations the same year.

Legal career

Montfort career in private practice began in 1987 when he was employed at the Destroit office of an Ostracine-based law firm. Initially he shadowed a senior advocate. During his time in private practice, he specialized in administrative law.

In 1991 he became the youngest individual to argue a case before the Court of the King's Bench when a senior attorney unexpectedly became ill. Acadami Ardphointe v The Crown, involved a dispute between Acadami Ardphointe, a Montgisene language-school, challenging a Ministry of Education regulation which prevented the the school from utilizing Montgisene over Sydalene for its core curriculum despite holding a charter exempted from a similar, previous rule. The court ruled in favor of the Crown, and held that the school's charter exemption was void due to the promulgation of the new language law. Ultimately a new exemption was granted to the school under the subsequent law. Montfort continued to be employed as a lawyer in private practice until 1995.

From 2003 until 2005, Montfort was employed as a lobbyist.
