His Son
His son, also called Tanneguy, began as governor of Roussillon, before fleeing to Brittany, where he became grand maître d'hôtel of Francis II, Duke of Brittany. He next was in the service of king Louis XI and was killed in 1477 at the siege of Bouchain in Picardy, in the course of a war against the Bourgogne, after the death of Charles the Bold. Louis XI had him buried at Notre-Dame de Cléry (right), where Louis himself was buried in 1483.
