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.

Famous quotes containing the word son:
“God’s Son went home. Among us it is whispered
He cried the tears of men.
Feeling, in fact,
We have no need of peace.”

“All know that all the dead in the world about that place are stuck
And that should mother seek her son she’d have but little luck
Because the fires of Purgatory have ate their shapes away;
I swear to God I questioned them and all they had to say
Was fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
