Jehan II du Fou, seigneur de la Roche-Guéhenneuc

Information:

Jean du Fou who had acquired and established or enlarged this stronghold, married in 1389 Mahaut de Montfort (Archives of Mûr, inventory of 1769, act of March 10, 1389), from where the quarterly crest of Fou-Montfort. In 1389, an act of seizing the manor of Plessix mentioned in the inventory of the Count of Noyan in 1769 (which we have borrowed also the information above), reports that Jehan de Montfort bails Mahaut de Montfort, his sister, marriage fesant with Jehan du Fou, eight legacies located in the viscount of Rohan which are not valued here and this up to fifty pounds of annuities. We do not know whether these heritages were in the neighborhood of Mûr, and have come to augment the Roche-Guéhennec. In 1375, Jouhan du Fou had acquired, by exchange contract with Ollivier de la Feuillée in Avignon, the lands that this lord possessed under the viscount of Rohan in the parish of Mûr and in his trèves, notably in Villeneuve, the City of Saint-Guen, in Kerbigot and generally all he possessed in the parish of Mûr and his Trier (Archives de Mûr). Two years later, in 1377, the same Jouhan du Fou acquired from Guyon Boscher, for one hundred francs in gold, la Roche-Guéhennec and his belongings to Guer-Kémer (Archives de Mûr). The act of 1377 bears the seal of the salesman Guyon Boscher, this seal is in conformity with the shields that we found in the church of Mûr and the chapel of Saint-Jean, it proves that Boscher is a cadet or rather a descendant by the women of the Mûr family. The act of 1377 indicates that the manor and the lands sold by Guyon Boscher formed his share, that is to say, they had been attributed to him in a partition, and in the following century we find still Boscher lords of Launay-Mur - Ingestuur Ds.
