General Notes: Guido de Jeanne was a French general in the service of the French Conf ederation.
He was assigned to escort Henry the second to England and to secure He nry on the throne.
For this service Guido de Jeanne was knighted by Henry and given the m anor of Kirkling in Cambridge shire.
Guido's grandson, Geoffrey de Jeanne, took up arms with Baldwin the co unt of Flanders, in a successful effort to obtain Jerusalem and contri buted to install Baldwin king of Jerusalem.
Geoffrey later made three pilgrimages to the Holy Land with his son Gu y, or Guido.
Hence the scallop shells in the coat of arms, which commemorate thos e events.
Before his death Geoffrey acquired the lands of Botallack in west Corn wall, England through his wife the heiress of Sir Richard Penruddock.
A descendant was Henry de Jeanne, alleged by some genealogists to b e a graduate of Oxford University and a lecturer there on Theology an d Divinity.

However, researcher Milton Bush on a Genealogy.com message board refut es this, and I quote

"Henry de Jeanne did not attend Oxford. I wrote to the Oxford Librar y on that and reviewed the whole Oxford alumni series (about 20 volume s).
He did not matriculate there under any of the possible name spelling s and did not lecture there. Neither did an ancestor, nor child.
Dear Beniah Gustin Jayne just made it up about 120 years ago. He ma y have intended it as a joke, or as a test who would rely on secondar y materials."
