Ferdinando d' Aragona y Guardato, 1st Duke of Montalto (before 1494–1542), by king Charles I of Spain, was the eldest bastard son of king Ferdinand I of Naples and Diana Guardato, one of his mistresses.

The addition "Montalto de Aragón" is in remembrance of his grandfather, Alfonso V of Aragon.

Coat of Arms of the Dukes of Montalto, now known as Dukes of Montalto de Aragón to avoid clashing with a Dukedom of the same name renovated by Spanish people at the ends of the 19th century. This Montalto is a remembrance of Montalto Uffugo, 39° 24′ 0″ N, 16° 9′ 0″ E, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy, formerly in the Hispanic kingdom of Naples.In the center, coat of arms of the Cardona family, by the sides, red and yellow bars of the kingdom of Aragon and Catalonia from his grandfather king Alfonso V of Aragon, (1395 - 1458), king of Sardinia, king of Naples, king of Sicily as well. The five crosses, as in the actual Crusader State of Georgia, are from the COA of the extinct Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. The bluish "fleur de lys" COA with the crennelling means bastard descent of the Capetian kings of France. The red horizontal bands within the silvery background is probably related to the Sanseverino family
