In Scotland this name would be pronounced Mon-tay-gay. Not sure why! Source of much mis-pronunciation.
I suspect that this name was originally pronounced as [mɔ̃tɑ:g] in French, with the "o" nasalised and the "gue" pronounced only as though it were "g". I am uncertain as to how Shakespeare would have pronounced it, however.
