Seigneur de Mont-Saint-Jean. “Guillelmus Montis S. Iohannis dominus de Salmasia” donated “CC. libris pasturas meas de Fusse” to Pontigny abbey, in payment of a debt of “bonæ memoriæ Willelmi quondam domini Montis S. Johannis patris mei”, with the consent of “fratris mei Stephani”, by charter dated 1255[1391].

The marriage contract between “Guillelmus dominus Montis Sancti Johannis...Guillelmo filio meo primogenito” and “dominum meum Hugonem ducem Burgundiæ...Margaretam filiam suam” is dated [4] Jun 1239[1392].
