Baron Montagu

The titles Baron Montacute or Baron Montagu were created three and two times respectively in the Peerage of England. The family name was Latinised to de Monte Acuto, meaning "from the sharp mountain"; the French form is an ancient spelling of mont aigu, with identical meaning, whence possibly came the imagery of the fusils in the family's arms.
