Drawing upon the ancient Arms attributed to the various branches of Montgomery, a principal device is the fleur de lis, invariably associated with Arms borne by Montgomerys.

The lance or tilting spear in saltire alludes to the joust in which Gabriel de Montgomery fatally injured King Henri II of France, again a device borne by several branches of the Montgomery family.

The pilgrim’s staff also in saltire differences the Arms - a religious device adopted as a priest in Holy Orders of the Catholic Church. The armiger is Magistral Chaplain of the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta.
