Johel (Judhael) de Toteneis, liv. 1123, of Totnes & Barnstable , co. Devon.
----------------
Guermond de Picquigny, the Patriarch of Jerusalem had a sister w ho married Juhel (or Joel) de Totnes, of Devonshire in England . Through his daughter and heiress, Juhel is ancestor of the we ll known baronial
Braose (or Brewes) family of England.
This intermarriage betwen the Picquigny and Totnes families is v irtually
unknown in the literature. As such, I imagine this posting wil l be the first time many people with Braose ancestry learn of th eir descent from the early Picquigny family of France or of thei r link to Guermond, the Patriarch of Jerusalem.
Dr. David Faris and I hope to publish this discovery in our plan ned book,
Baronial Ancestry, which is presently about half finished. Hop e this helps. Sincerely, Douglas Richardson[MARSHALL.FTW]
