Poulain or Poullain, Breton noble family

Legg inn av Gjest » 10 aug 2006 03:04:03

According to the Nobiliaire Bretonne this family was of ancient
extraction. There was a Jean Poulain of this family who rendered
homage to the Vicomte de Rohan in 1396. Supposedly there was a proof
given during the reformation of the Breton nobility in the 1660's of
descent from a Rolland Poulain recognized noble in 1449.

The coat of arms is: d'argent au houx arrache de sinople; au franc
canton de gueules chargee d'une croix dentelee d'argent.

Does anyone have further information on this family?
