Description: Sir William Montagu, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, 4th Baron Montagu, King of Mann (1328-1397), KG, from the Bruges Garter Book, 1430/1440, BL Stowe 594. Blazon: Quarterly, 1st & 4th: Argent three fusils conjoined in fess gules (Montagu); 2nd and 3rd: Or an eagle displayed vert beaked and membered gules (Monthermer). "Conte de Salisbery, Will(ia)m", William de Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, KG, illustration from the Bruges Garter Book, c.1430. The arms of Monthermer (Or, an eagle displayed vert beaked and membered gules) shown quartered by Montagu on his tabard are apparently incorrect, as it was his younger brother John de Montacute, 1st Baron Montacute (c. 1330 - c. 1390) who married the Monthermer heiress. He holds a board inscribed with the names and arms of the successor knights in his stall: Apres ly Conte de Arondell, Thomas (Thomas Fitzalan, 5th (or 10th) Earl of Arundel (1381–1415), created KG c.1410/11 ) Apres ly Conte de Huntyngton, ... (John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon (1395-1447), created KG 1416)
