I took another look at the map. I think the Montfort is a castle/walled
city. Each division seems to have one name in such a font., e.g., Tyre,
Toron, Caesarea. Possibly fiefs were named for the castle/city? Except
that down in the South there is a large area called St. Abraham, with
Hebron as its castle/city.
