History:
(Black Knight Comics#4/2) - De Montfort saw a beggar on the road while returning from a tournament with King Richard and Black Knight. He tried to whip the man for a bit of fun, but Black Knight cut his whip with the Ebony Blade. Angered at the Black Knight's action he got in his face, but King Richard made it clear that attacking the Black Knight would be like an attack upon him. De Montfort begged King Richard for forgiveness and then continued with the rest of the knights to Camelot.
Comments: Created by Stan Lee & Fred Kida.
De Montfort was definitely not connected to the House of Montfort from Montfort l'Amaury because they didn't exist until the end of the 10th century.
He was also not connected to the House of Montfort-Brittany, which didn't exist before 1365.
And there was also no connection to the Counts of Montfort from the Holy Roman Empire, which ruled over the region I live in from 1390 to 1779.
So apparently he is just some guy named De Montfort with connections to a presumably fictional dynasty.
