He was the son of a supplier of books to the royal court. At the age of seventeen he became a licensed theologian, in 1626 he was ordained to the priesthood, in December 1632 he was elected a discretion to the Order of St. Francis , in 1633 he became a notary public inquisition . Since 1619 he was friendly with Lope de Vega and under his leadership began to write plays. He died at the age of thirty-six years - reportedly from insanity resulting from overwork, de Vega's death, and severe literary controversy with opponents. He was buried in the parish of San Miguel.
His poem, El Orfeo en lengua castellana, is thought to have been written with the help of Lope de Vega. A large number of his plays were published by de Vega in 1635–1638, and all of them, with the exception of the highly criticized Los Amantes de Teruel, went on stage with great success. Of his prose works, Sucesos y prodigios de amor, en ocho novelets ejemplares (1624) and Para todos: Exemplos morales, humanos y divinos (1632) are known. The defamatory pamphlet on Quevedo “El Tribunal de la justa venganza” (1635) may also belong to him. Montalban’s last known work is Fama póstuma (1636), a laudatory biography of Lope de Vega.
