- Philip of Montfort, Lord of Castres
Philip of Montfort (d. September 24, 1270, Tunis) was Lord of Castres-en-Albigeois in 1270. He was the son of Philip of Montfort, Lord of Tyre and Eleonore of Courtenay. His coat-of-arms was “Gules, a lion rampant double queued argent, a label of four points azure.”
Biography
He joined the expedition of Charles of Anjou to conquer the Kingdom of Sicily, and he shared command of the first battalion at the Battle of Benevento with Hugh of Mirepoix. He led the Angevin troops into the island of Sicily after Benevento, and helped to put down the revolt that broke out there upon the advance of Conradin into Italy. On his father’s death in March 1270, he succeeded to his French seigneury of Castres, but his father's possessions in Outremer had been granted to his half-brother John of Montfort. He joined the Eighth Crusade and died in Tunis.

* John of Montfort, Count of Squillace (d. bef. December 1300), married firstly Isabella Maletta, married secondly Giovanna di Fasanella, married thirdly in 1273 Marguerite of Beaumont (d. March 1307, Marseilles)
* Laure of Montfort (d. bef. December 1300), married Bernard VII of Comminges
