"I am not a Maltese Falcon."

Marble eagle in an inlaid tombstone in the Co-Cathederal of St. John in Valletta, Malta. The tombs cover almost the entire floor of this incredible building, the final resting place of around 400 dignitaries of the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem.

 

There must be a story here; if anyone can enlighten me as to whom this particular coat of arms belongs...
