Lords of Genlis

From the 11th century until the French Revolution, the lordship was possessed by several families and was transmitted either by inheritance, dowry or sale. The first family that owned it was the eponymous family of Janly. The medieval lords of Genlis belonged to noble families. The men earned epithets of honor of 'knight', 'squire', 'noble man', 'messire' and 'noble lord' and their wives were described as 'damsels'. The various lords of Janly owned the lands of Genlis (formerly Janly), Saulon-la-Chapelle, Verchisy (a hamlet in Beurizot), Marcilly-les-Nonnains, Magny-la-Ville near Semur-en-Auxois, Montilles and Dracy-les-Vitteaux in allod.

House of Janly

Janly: Gules fretted Argent, a golden head with three cinquefoils

The House of Janly was described as the 'old house of Burgundy'. The name of the lords appeared in the texts from the 12th century and perpetuated until the 17th century. The Janly allied themselves with the Burgundian nobility resulting from the sword and the robe: Estrabonne, Vaux (now part of Auxerre), Mâlain, Colombier, La Marche, Fyot, Le Fèvre, Mazille, Charrecey, Daubenton, Sennevoy, Balay and Thienes. The Janly entered the Estates of Burgundy in 1355, shortly after their creation. This house is a younger branch of the house of Mailly-Fauverney, itself descended from the former counts of Dijon. The descendancy starts from a lord named Gui, probable brother of Etienne II, lord of Fauverney. The Janly's House included:

• Guy I (Gui) Mailly Fauverney, Lord of Janly (Genleio): He lived at the beginning of the 12th century. Gui was the husband of a lady called Eve, the mother of Maurice I, Lord of Janly and Roland Janly.
• Guy II de Janly (Genleio, Genley): The charter of the abbey of Saint-Étienne de Dijon, which can be roughly dated between 1125 and 1157, reveals that Guy, knight of Genlis, nicknamed Dernotus, gave the aleu de Genlis to the abbot Herbert and his claims on tithes to his brother Theodoric leaving for Jerusalem.
• Maurice II de Janly (Genleio): Around 1170, he donated a house they owned in Dijon to the Abbey of Tart, with his wife Elissent. He may have participated in the Third Crusade (1187-1192) since he was at the siege of Acre in April 1191. He perhaps became a Templar. He may be the father or brother of Benoît de Janly.
• Benoît de Janly (possible filiation): He is said to be a crusader, returned from the Holy Land in 1187, being alive till 1191.
• Ermengarde de Janly: She allied herself with a lord called Rodolphe. Her name is linked to a deed of sale for an eighth of the Loiche mill (or Liche in 1435) to the Saint-Étienne church in Dijon in July 1235. In this act are named her husband Rodolphe, her father Richard, her uncle Lambert, her cousin Maurice III and her grand-cousins ​​Jean and Savoyen.
• Maurice III, lord of Janly (Genleio): In 1197, Maurice was the lord of Genley and knight. He gave the tithe of Janly to the priory of Saint-Vivant with the agreement and approval of Robert, bishop of Chalon and the Duke of Burgundy around 1197.
• Jean de Janly: He is Maurice's son. In 1233, Jean de Janly made a pious donation of a meadow to the Abbey of Auberive. This gift was approved by his suzerain, Guillaume II de Pontailler, dit de Champlitte, lord of Talmay and viscount of Dijon. In October 1265, Jean donated a census on the Pré Boiret and the right to open a path to go to the Loiche mill, the one he claimed on the mill and on the meix de Garandas, to the Saint-Étienne church. It is mentioned from 1235 to 1265. He had a daughter named Marie, with his wife Erembour.

House of Mailly

Mailly, from the Bourgogne branch: gules with three golden mallets

The origins of the family of Mailly back to the 10^th century. Theodoric, Count of Mâcon and Autun, chamberlain of France under Louis the Stammerer, had two sons, Manasseh I and Aimar, Count of Dijon. Aimar, stem of the Mailly of Burgundy, lived in 901, during the time of Charles-le-Simple.

The historical origins of this family go back to Humbert de Mailly, Count of Dijon, husband of Anne de Sombernon. They had several sons including Wédéric (or Frédéric), the 'stem' of Mailly de Picardie; Humbert II de Mailly and Garnier de Mailly, abbot of Saint-Étienne de Dijon, friend of Saint Odilon, died in 1050 or 1051.

The Maillys, more precisely the branch of the Lords of Fauverney, probably gave birth to the first feudal house of the Lords of Janly. Indeed, among all the lands of Humbert de Mailly, there were several groups of lands including the two important seigneuries of Mailly and Longeault. Humbert owned or had rights to other seigneuries including Magny-sur-Tille, Cessey, Varanges, Arc-sur-Tille, Arceau, Quetigny, Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur and Bressey-sur-Tille. The seven sons of Humbert all took the name of the land they received from their father. The seigneury of Janly passed to the Maillys, probably by inheritance.

House of Montmorot

Montmorot: Argent lozenge and Gules

The Maison de Montmorot originates from a village near Lons-le-Saunier in the county of Burgundy. Before the spelling of its name stabilized, it was written as Montmorey, Montmoret or Montmorot.

• Richard de Montmorot: He was the son of Humbert, nicknamed Arragon of Montmorot, was a knight, lord of Marigna and bailiff of Dijon in 1278 by succession to Jean d'Arcey. In 1270, he married Huguette de la Bruyère but had no descendants. She gave him the estates located between Grosne and Arroux, in Saône-et-Loire as a dowry. In February 1287, he founded the Sainte-Madeleine chapel in the Saint-Vincent de Chalon church with his wife Huguette. In his second marriage, in or around 1290, he married Alix d'Estrabonne (or Étrabonne), from an old family of good nobility in the county of Burgundy. Alix, described as lady of Janly, was included in the act of confederation of the lords of Burgundy, Champagne and Forez, made in November 1314, to oppose the levying of taxes that Philip the Fair wanted to establish on the nobles. Richard died before 1297. Richard and Alix had four sons: Guillaume, Hugues, Richard and Girard.
• Hugues (or Huguenin) de Janly: He abandoned the name of Montmorot and instead used Janly. He was mentioned in 1297, with his mother, then a widow, during the act of the donation of Bouzeron to the canons of Saint-Léger. In 1325, he entered into a contract with the abbot of Saint-Étienne de Dijon, Ponce de Courbeton, to preserve the legal and seigneurial rights over the men that the abbey possessed at Janly. In 1325, Hughes made a transaction on trial with the abbey of Saint-Étienne about justice and their rights to finagle Genlis. In addition to the seigneury of Janly, he owned the seigneuries or estates in Uchey, Beire-le-Fort, Ouges, Pluvault, Saulon-la-Chapelle, Mailly, Gevrey, Barges, Volnay, Saint-Loup, Lux, Givry and Mellecey. Hugh of Janly had five children: William I, the young Hughes, William II, Huguette and Alips. He died before 1363.
• Guillaume de Janly: In July 1363, he gave all his land in Saulon-la-Chapelle as much in men, land, meadows as in other things to leasehold for 50 florins per year. The same year, he was also a squire in the company of Oudard d'Uchey and in 1365, he was a squire in that of Hugues Aubriot, bailiff of Dijon, with Richard d'Uchey and Jean de Mellecey. In 1367, Guillaume chose Dreue Felise as his advisor, "as long as he lived". He was the lord of Janly and Saulon-la-Chapelle. On July 20, 1368, he ceded to Henri de Trouhans, squire, known as Petitjean, with the agreement of Jeannette, his niece, daughter of Hugues de Janly the younger, all the inheritances, rights, justice and sizes located in Mailly-Curtil. He received the homage of Jean Le Guespet in 1373. Huguenin de Varennes, squire, took over the fiefdom and gave an enumeration of half of all the jurisdiction of the parishes of Varennes, Saint-Loup and Lux, near Chalon in 1375, among other things. In 1380, he declared to the Duke of Burgundy that the land and stronghold of Maigny near Auxonne belonged to him as recognized. His name disappeared from the records after 1380. He seems not to have married and to leave no legitimate posterity.
• Jean, bastard of Janly: He appears in the texts in 1390 under the name of noble man, Jean, the bastard of Janly. In 1398, he was qualified as a squire. An enumeration is given in the year 1399 to Jean de Tenarre, squire, lord of Janly by Jean, the bastard of Janly, squire, of several feudal inheritances located in the finages of Janly and Uchey. He later said that the late William, Lord of Janly, gave him 200 cubits of land to take over all of Janly's land. Some of his inheritances joined those of the heirs of Richard d'Uchey, squire. Guillaume de Janly does not appear to have been married and Janly's bastard could be his illegitimate son, or that of William II. He married a young lady named Isabelle.
• Alips (or Alix) de Janly: She allied herself with Philibert de Tenarre in 1365. It was through her that the House of Tenarre acquired the seigneury of Janly.

House of Tenarre

Tenarre de Montmain: Azure with three golden chevrons

The house of Janly is succeeded by the house of Tenarre in the territory of Genlis. This house originates from Bresse Chalonnaise. The first known lord was Huguenin de Tenarre, knight. He lived in 1272. Although old, this house belongs to the middle nobility, but it will be illustrated by prestigious endogamous alliances in the houses of Salins, Choiseul, Saulx, Neufchâtel and Bauffremont. The barons of Tenarre owned large portions of the seigneury of Janly, including the fortified house, for almost two centuries from 1386 to 1565.

• Philibert de Tenarre: He is the son of Philibert de Tenarre, baron of Tenarre, lord of Grosbois, Verchisy and Agnès de Fontaines. He was the baron of the said places and acquired rights on the seigneury of Janly by his marriage to Alips de Janly. Their sons were Jean, Lord of Janly, squire and Guillaume, baron of Tenarre, knight. Philibert de Tenarre was a witness for Duke Philippe in 1361.

Jeanne was the heiress of her brother, Aymé, who died childless in 1408, and of her sister-in-law Jeanne de Rougemont. She died before 1429. Jeanne de Montarbel took the affairs of the family in hand as indicated by the resumption of fief of 1409: "Resumption of fief of the duke in the year 1409 by Jeanne de Montarbert, widow of Jean de Tenarre, squire and lord de Janly and mandate from the Duke and receipt for rent on the Salins brine plant by the said Jeanne as heiress, by means of the late Aymé de Montarbert her brother and of the late Jean de Montarbert." In 1406 or 1407, she recovered the lands of Genlis, against compensation, which her husband had leased. In 1407, Jeanne had a son, Jean, and three daughters, Denise, Huguette (or Hugote) and Marguerite.
• Jean II de Tenarre: He was born in 1392 and died after 1448. The little that is known of his life has come down by very fragmented information of the acts he had passed. In 1440, he declared to hold his stronghold of Marnoz and half of the justice on this village in the stronghold of the count of Burgundy. On August 26, 1460, John II was a witness to the agreement between the chamber of accounts and the people of the three states of the Duchy of Burgundy, about the fortifications of Beaune. In 1430 Jean de Tenarre, knight, was guardian of the children of the late Lord Guillaume de Colombier, lord of Saint-Loup de Varennes near Chalon, Lux, and half of Sevrey and Mepilley and Antoine de la Marche, lord of Sauldon, de Mepilley and de Saludon for half because of Marie de Sauldon his wife. John II is also counselor and chamberlain to Duke. He married Catherine de Lugny in around 1400 who brought him the land and seigneury of Montmain (or Montmoyen), and she also inherited the seigneury of Aiserey through her mother, Jacqueline, Dame d'Antilly and Aiserey. Catherine gave him two children, sons Étienne and Jean III. In his secoond marriage, he married Claudine de Trézettes, daughter of Pierre, lord of Trézettes, Uxelles and Torcy, and Jeanne de Marcilly. Once widowed, Claudine remarried Claude de Bussy, Lord of Montjay.
• Philibert de Tenarre: He died before 1501. He was titled Lord of Janly, Montmain, Vichy, Montagu and Grosbois. He first married Louise de Saulx, daughter of Charles de Saulx, Lord of Frezan and Gissey, and Antoinette Pot de La Rochepot on July 13, 1477. She died on January 11, 1481 without posterity. He married Claude (or Claudine) du Saix, of a noble family of Bresse, daughter of Antoine du Saix, lord of Rivoire, and Françoise de La Baume-Montrevel in second marriage . Claude, in her second marriage, on December 11, 1501, married Philibert de Bussy, squire, lord of Montjay, Montgesson and de la Sarrée. Philibert and Claude had one son, Claude and one daughter, Philiberte. Between 1484 and 1492, he acquired the mill of Boulay (Baudrières) from Jean Cloppet, doctor of law, president in Bresse, for 200 pounds.
• Claude de Tenarre: He was titled knight and lord of Janly and Montmain. He was a knight of the order of Saint-Michel. Like his ancestors, he participated in the political life of Burgundy. Thus, in 1526, he assisted with other nobles in the states of the county of Auxonne. He was a witness to the peace treaty between King Francis I and Archduchess Marguerite for neutrality between the duchy and county of Burgundy in Saint-Jean-de-Losne in 1522. He married twice and took daughters from prestigious and old noble houses as his wives. He first married Philiberte de Neufchâtel, daughter of Ferdinand de Neufchâtel and Claude de Vergy-Champvant. Claude had no children from this union. He married for a second time in 1544 with Constance de Bauffremont, daughter of Pierre II de Bauffremont, baron de Senecey, lord of Soye, Châtenoy, Hauterive, Courchaton, Nan, etc., and Charlotte d'Amboise. He attended the blessing ceremony of "the Oratory of Monsignor de Sennecey" in 1552. Claude died in 1565. From his union with Catherine de Bauffremont, he had two children: a son, Humbert de Tenarre and a daughter, Catherine de Tenarre.
• Catherine de Tenarre: She married Claude Faulquier (or Falque, Fauquier or Folquier), knight, lord of Marigny (Marigna), of a noble and former Franche-Comté house, originally from Poligny. She died in 1581 and was buried in the Bauffremont cellar in Senecey. It is through this union that the land of Janly entered the Faulquier family.

House of Faulquier

Faulquier de Marigna: Azure, three golden scythes, hilted Argent, the two of the heads facing left

On November 15, 1565, a division was made between Claude Faulquier, knight, lord of Marigny (probably Marigna in the Jura), husband of Catherine de Tenarre, and Humbert de Tenarre, knight, lord of Montmain, of the property of the estate of Claude de Tenarre, knight, their father, lord of Montmain and Janly, with the agreement of Françoise de Bauffremont, lady of Missery, Jean and Charles de Malain, brothers, knights, lord of Montigny and Missery and first cousins ​​of Humbert de Tenarre, lord of Montmain. The latter receives the land and barony of Montmain, the castle, the right of watch and guard and its dependencies which are the seigneuries of Grosbois, Champandrey, the meadow at Verrey or Vitrey in the seigneury of Pouilly, Trogny in part, Montaigny in part, the toll of Glainon, Jarlan and Gallon with in all justice, fief and mortmain. The barony had always been held openly without, however, guaranteeing this quality. Catherine de Tenarre received the land and seigneury of Janly, with the castle, the right of watch and custody, Uchey, the vines of Gevrey, the banal river, and all justice. The seigneury of Janly is estimated to be worth more than that of Montmain. Claude and Catherine separate from the seigneury in 1566, in favor of Jean de Bousseval. This sale breaks for the first time an uninterrupted family transmission for at least 400 years.

House of Bousseval

• Jean de Bousseval: He is the son of Philippe de Bousseval, lord of Villiers-le-Haut and Françoise Viguier or Vignier, lady of Villiers-sur-Suize. Jean is knight and lord of Villiers-le-Haut, Jonty, Ravières, etc. He also exercises the functions of governor and captain of the castle of Dijon.

House of Valon

Valon: Azure with a passing argent unicorn

The authentic filiation goes back to the brothers Henri, Odon and Jean Walon, squires at Boux-sous-Salmaise, in 1394. The Valons have been associated with Genlis since at least on June 13, 1567 when Nicolas Valon, Lord of Barain, buys from Marie de Machecot a quarter by undivided number of several inheritances in cens located at Janly. In 1576 the same Nicolas bought the other three quarters, half of which was undivided from several inheritances and cens owned by Guillemette de Senevoy, widow of Philibert de Janly, Lord of Montilles, from Janly. He acquired the rest of Laurent de Janly, Lord of Dracy-les-Vitteaux.

• Nicolas Valon: He was the son of Philippe Valon, squire, from Boux-sous-Salmaise. In 1554, he was appointed by the King as a lay advisor to the Parliament of Burgundy.

He buys on June 13, 1567, of Marie Macheco, all that she possesses in cens on the territory of Janly. He rounded up his savings in 1576 by acquiring, through Nicolas de Loron, the Genlissian possessions of Guillemette de Senevoy, and those of Laurent de Janly.

The latter obtains at the requests of the Palace, for her benefit and that of her sister-in-law Marie, theNovember 26, 1670, a deliverance by decree from the land and lordship of Janly and Uchey for seventy-seven thousand pounds, as we wrote previously.

House of Fyot

Fyot: Azure, a chevron Or accompanied by three lozenges of the same

The Fyot house has been known since the 14th century. century. Originally from Châtillon-sur-Seine, Guillaume Fyot, who lived in 1382, married Odette de Janly, descendant of the lords of Janly by the Montmorots and the Girart de Janly, as we mentioned above. Notable, the Fyots occupy an advantageous social position which will lead them to the highest parliamentary offices and the Burgundian magistracy and they will ally themselves with the greatest names of the nobility of dress and sword of the province. The descendants of Guillaume Fyot form two branches: that of the Fyot of La Marche and that of the Fyot of Vaugimois. It is the first branch which illustrates the name most brilliantly with five First Presidents and Presidents in Mortier in the Parliament of Burgundy who succeed one another from father to son from 1637 to 1772.

House of Janley

(Girart) of Janley: Azure a fess Argent accompanied by three cinquefoils of the same.

The first known lord of this branch is a lord named Girart. Girart Montmorot adopted the name Janly or Janley, and his heirs were called Girart of Janly or Janley, or only Janly or Janley, from the 15th  century. This branch, which died out in the 17th century century, carries as arms a variant of the coat of arms of the lords of Janly: azure with a silver fess accompanied by three cinquefoils of the same. The lineage of this branch is very fragmented and uncertain at times. She had properties or owned the seigneuries of Janly, Chalon-sur-Saône, Mellecey, Saint-Maurice-en-Rivière, Yelley (near Chalon-sur-Saône), Montille, Verchisy, Magny-la-Ville, Dracy-les-Vitteaux, Fresnes-les-Montbard, Villiers-les-Hauts (in Auxois) and Jussy (in Auxerrois).

• Girart (or Girard) de Janley: Count Georges de Montmorot gives him as son of Richard de Montmorot and Alix d'Estrabonne, and born in Genlis. This connection appears to be based on the first name of this lord: Girart bears the first name of one of his paternal uncles, Girart, canon and cantor of the cathedral church of Saint-Vincent in Chalon-sur-Saône. His title of "master" lets us think that he probably occupies an administrative office in the duchy. He died before 1347. InMay 1334, he sells two meadow vines on Genlis to Jean Bruchiote, clerk. From a woman whose first and last names are unknown, Girart would have had at least two sons called Jean and Nicolas.
• Nicolas Girart de Janley: he is the son of Girart de Janley. He writes a charter in Chalon-sur-Saône in 1374  . It appears in a receipt of "Tuesday before the madeleine 1383" given by Jean de Pontailler, squire and lord of "Maigney", (Magny-sur-Tille) and his brother Hugues de Pontailler, knight, to Philibert de Janley, (" son of the late Nicolas de Janly "), because of portions of wood in the woods of Beire and" Léé "(Lays) that the lord of Magny had from Perrin de" Columbey "because of his wife Hugote  .

• Huguette (or Hugotte) Girart de Janley (uncertain but probable parentage): Georges de Montmorot says the lady of Uchey and she appears to be, according to Peincedé, the wife of Perrin de Columbey (probably Colombier).

Between 1406 and 1415, a sentence was rendered in her favor (Huguette de Janley, lady of Varennes and Saint-Loup) against the monks of La Ferté who had so much raised the roadways of their ponds of Saint-Ambreuil and Seneuil " that by the excessive auture several gainable grounds were esté and be drowned and gastée for the water being resting and re-inflating in them ". She receives compensation.
• Philibert Girart de Janley: he is the son of Nicolas de Janley. His name appears next to that of his father in the 1383 receipt given to Jean de Pontailler, Lord of Magny-sur-Tille, and his brother Hugues de Pontailler. On January 7, 1399, he cedes to the abbey of Saint-Étienne de Dijon a piece of land called the "Champ Prestet". Indeed, the abbey maintained that Philibert had to pay them a cens of "three solz tournaments of strong money". Philibert replied that he did not own any censable land in Saint-Étienne. In order to put an end to this dispute, he cedes the land to the monks and thus frees himself from the three sols, fines and arrears. The deed is sealed to "Janley".

Also in 1433, in August, he was instructed by Duke Philippe le Bon and the States of Burgundy to raise the sum of 40,000 pounds to raise an army intended for the siege of Pacy and Avalon. Philippe de Commynes, in his famous memoirs, tells that in 1468, "was arrested Master Jean de Janly, sent by Monsieur le Duc to Monsieur de Calabre & le Roy d'Aragon, because of their dispute, & which was made great insult to mondit Sieur le Duc, & said Janly interest and damage, as has been demonstrated at length by the deputies of mondit Sieur le Duc.

Around 1519, Antoine settles accounts with Charles, son of Olivier de La Marche, knight, adviser and first butler of the Archduke of Austria. He has a daughter of a woman whose first name and House are unknown: Jeanne.

• Philibert de Janly: He is lord of Montilles and Magny. In 1516 he gave the enumeration of the fiefdom of the Fossés, in Sennevoy, with his wife.
