On the other hand, John de la Pole's sister, Anne de la Pole, wife of
Gaillard du Fort IV, seigneur of Duras, does have traceable
descendants. You can find information on her family in the following
sources:
Anselme, Hist. de la Maison Royale de France 5 (1730): 734. Beltz,
Memorials of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (1841): clxiii, clxv
(footnote 3). Vallet de Viriville, Hist. de Charles VII 3 (1865): 229.
Durand, La Maison de Durfort à l'Époque Moderne (1975): 28-30.
Peña, Docs. sur la Maison de Durfort (XIe-XVe Siècle) (1977). TG 4
(1983): 131-136. Schwennicke, Europäische Stammtafeln 10 (1986):
113 (sub Durfort). Archives Historiques de Département de la Gironde
7 (1865): 444-446; 16 (1878): 258-259.
At first I was wondering had Richardson found a new French noble family? du
Fort?
How fascinating. He gives as one of the Sources ES Volume 10 Tafel 113.
First I looked in the index but could not find any du Fort listed, then on
Tafel 113 I find Gaillard IV de Durfort, Seigneur de Duras. Obviously he has
been mucking about with the name of this family. The IV belongs by the
Christian name, not after the surname. As members have other first names as
well. The surname is de Durfort--- not du Fort.
How sloppy can he get?
