Señor de Béthencourt y de Grainville la Tenturière, sirvió primero al lado de los ingleses, pero a la llamada del Delfín se unió en Nantes con Bertrand du Guesclin.

In the Battle of Cocherel in which the French routed the partisans of Charles the Bad, commanded by Captal de Buch. Bethencourt had previously switched from the side of the Burgundians, who were allied with the English, to the opposite side, joining the army of the king of France. The royal army divided into two parts. At the same time as Du Guesclin attacked the enemy from the right, the Lord of Béthencourt, with other nobles, enveloped the enemy from the left - and it was in this action that he lost his life. This heroic action led the king to lift the confiscation which previously affected his property There is a problem. James H. Guill presents a very different genealogy for this branch of the Bethencourt family. He seems to be basing his information on the Chronicle of Enguerrand de Monstrelet as well as other information which he combines. Monstrelet includes details of the Battle of Azincourt (Agincourt). Monstrelet, however, appears to be referring to a completely different line of Bethencourts which Guill merges with the current line. Monstrelet does not refer to the progenitor (Jean III) by name but by the title bailiff of Amiens. No other source refers to this title being ascribed to Jean III. Since Jean III must have been born no later than 1345, at the youngest, he would have been 70 at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. It seems highly unlikely that he would participate in a battle at such an advanced age. It also seems clear from other sources that Jean III died in the Battle of Cocherel in 1364. Therefore, this cannot be the same person.

Also, Monstrelet mentions several of the bailiff's sons, but does not mention Gallien, Jean IV, or Regnault. He does mention Aubert as Lord of Betencourt, but there were other locations called Bethencourt, etc. in France. In the English edition of Monstrelet translated by Thomas Johnes, a note indicates that "there must be some mistake about" some of the comments that Monstrelet makes regarding the bailiff of Amiens.

Perhaps Monstrelet refers to a completely different branch of the family Blazon of arms: Argent, a lion sable, armed and langued gules. Em campo de prata, um leao do preto rompente, armado de vermelho. D'argent, un lion de sable, armé de gueules. The arms of France were confirmed for the Bettencourts of Portugal on 1 Apr 1505 by the king D. Manoel Genea Portugal lists Jean III's children as Joao de Bettencourt, rei das Canárias, Regnault de Bettencourt, and an unnamed son to whom is ascribed the children Jorge, Henri, and Maciot. There seems to be some confusion with Regnault who is the father of these sons One source, obviously in error, states that, in 1430, at the side of the

Burgundians allied with the English, he was in the siege of Compiègne (in which Joan of Arc was captured), having also been imprisoned, by the French, and subsequently ransomed.

After Jeanne's marriage to Pierre de Neuville, her brother Jean (III) granted to her an annual income of 50 libras from property situated in Béthencourt, a grant which he confirmed in 1362, the date of her second marriage. He married Marie de Bracquemont, daughter of Regnault de Braquemont (I), at the instigation of her brother (Jean's step-father), Mathieu de Braquemont in Jun 1358 at Normandy. He was Lord chamberlain of the Duke of Burgundy.
Genea Portugal lists Jean III's children as João de Bettencourt, rei das Canárias, Regnault de Bettencourt, and an unnamed son to whom is ascribed the children Jorge, Henri, and Maciot. There seems to be some confusion with Regnault who is the father of these sons. He was Lord of at Béthencourt , of Saint Vincent de Rouvray, and of Grainville, and Baron of Saint-Martin le Gaillard. On the side of the Burgundians, allies of the English Jean (III) was in the siege of Compiègne (where Jeanne d'Arc was imprisoned), having been also imprisoned, but by the French, and later rescued. Later, he passed to the contrary party, joining the army of the King of France, and, at about 25 years of age, died in the battle of Cocherel (13 of March of 1364), in which the French defeated the partisans of Charles the Bad, commanded by the Captal de Buch [feudal title in Gascony, in this case, specifically Jean III de Grailly, captal de Buch]. The royal army was divided in two parts: at the same time that Du Gesclin attacked the enemy from the right, the Lord.of Bethencourt, with other noblemen, surrounded him from the left – and it was in this action that he lost his life. This heroic behavior caused the King to lift the sequestration that previously affected his goods. He was buried at Sigy-en-Bray.11
Marie de Bracquemont was also known as Maria de Braquemont. She was also known as Marie de Braquemont. She was also known as Maria de Bracamonte.

Died in the battle of Chocherel.

The Battle of Cocherel it fought on May 16, 1364 between the king of France and the forces of Charles II of Navarre, over the succession to the dukedom of Burgundy.

The king's forces were led by Bertrand du Guesclin, though Jean, Count of Auxerre was the highest-ranking noble present. There were knights from Burgundy (f. e. Jean de Vienne), Breton, Picard, Parisian and Gascon people. The forces of Navarre were commanded by the Gascon chief, Jean de Grailly, Captal de Buch and mainly consisted of 800 to 900 knights and 4000 to 5000 soldiers from Normandy, Gascony and England, including 300 English archers.

The result of the battle was the French king's victory. The Navarrese army was lined up in three battalions. It took up a defensive position, as was standard English tactics, forcing du Guesclin to be the aggressor. The French commander managed to break the defensive formation by attacking and then pretending to retreat, which tempted the enemy from their hill in pursuit. A flank attack by du Guesclin's reserve then won the day.

Bethencourt had previously switched from the side of the Burgundians, who were allied with the English, to the opposite side, joining the army of the king of France. The royal army divided into two parts. At the same time as Du Guesclin attacked the enemy from the right, the Lord of Béthencourt, with other nobles, enveloped the enemy from the left - and it was in this action that he lost his life.
