Notes for Jean de Montcalm
[C-D, XIV, 136]. Seigneur de Saint-Veran, de Tournemire, du Viala, de la Baume, de Pradines & de la Panouse, Conseiller du Roi & Maitre des Requêtes de l’Hôtel, by provision of the King, given at Millau, 10 May 1437, for which he took oath [?] between the hands of the Bishop of Maguelonne (now Montpellier), the 16th of the same month. He rendered homage, on the 10th of July, 1462, for the lands of Saint-Veran, to Jean, Comte d’Armagnac, Vicomte de Creissels. Later, having been accused of taking the part of the Comte d’Armagnac, he was imprisoned and taken to Tours, with Guillaume and Gaillard de Montcalm, two of his children, and all his possessions, including those of his eldest son, were confiscated. But Louis XI, better informed, recognised his innocence and restored his possessions by Letters Patent given at Montils on the 21st March, 1471.
Notes for Jeanne (Spouse 1)
[C-D, XIV, 136]. Petite-niece of Dieudonné de Gozon, Grand Master of Rhodes, known for the death of the dragon from which he delivered that island [?. Now this is weird. A dragon?!]
[C-D, IX, 626] gives a list of Gozons, but later than Jeanne and her daddy. Most likely starts with her brother, or other close relative, but C-D doesn’t say. All he says is that they were from Rouergue, and an ancient noble family, taking their name from the lands of Gozon in the same province. Surprised he didn’t say they were excessively distinguished also, just like everybody else seems to be.
Arms according to [C-D, IX, 628]: de gueules, à la bande d’azur, bordée d’argent; à la bordure componée d’argent & de gueules. Compare this to the Gozon arms listed as part of the Montcalm arms: de gueules, à la bande d’azur, bordée d’argent, & une bordure componée de billettes d’argent, qui est DE GOZON. Pretty good agreement, really.
