These the arms of Roger de Montalt, 1st Baron Montalt. (1265–1297) (aka Monte Alto) was a baron who rebelled for a time against Henry III of England. He married Joan Mowbray. Joan (1247–1284) was born in Pontefract, W-Riding, Yorkshire (daughter of Roger Mowbray). Montalt was one of the defenders of Cambridge for King Henry III. During the reign of Edward I, he served overseas in the Gascon wars.
When Montalt died in 1297, his estates passed to his younger brother Robert (1270-1329), and his barony became extinct. A new creation of the Montalt barony was created by writ of summons in 1299.
