A knight of the Montford family, 1286. He wears a chainmail hauberk with armorial surcoat, sword in scabbard on belt, and carries a mace and shield with coat of arms. The surcoat blazon shows a griffon sergeant eating a gold child, and the shield a lion devouring a child. Handcoloured lithograph by Maddocks after an illustration by Meyrick from Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick's A Critical Inquiry into Antient Armour, John Dowding, London, 1842.
