Guillaume VI of Sillé , lord of Sillé.

Biography

Guillaume VI of Sillé, wire of Robert Ier de Sillé, attests an acquisition of the Abbaye of Champagne in 1288, is quoted in Cartulaire of the Seam in 1297. Several contracts in court of Sillé signed in front of him (1291). The May 29th 1301, it makes with the lords of Craon, of Laval, Lassay, Mathefelon, Vendôme, the offers to the Count d' Anjou for the assistances claimed at the time of the marriage of his/her Isabeau daughter; he is benefactor of the abbey of Champagne; ratify in 1316 the foundation made by its ancestors with Fountain-Saint-Martin of six sums of wheat wine and six setiers; agree finally with the bishop of Mans, Pierre Gougeul, for the homage of the ground of Montfaucon given in trimming to the one of puînés of the family (1324).

Hucher publishes two ecus ascribable to Guillaume VI: one, of 1295, indicates the alliance of a woman carrying the escutcheons of Mathefelon, and not of Mayenne like Hucher believed; the other, of 1302, carries in alliance the ecu of the Famille of Broussin, with the saltire confined in side and of 3 serrated rollers, and a chief of a small cross.

The Abbé Angot announces the error of Mr. de Lestang, followed by Bourassé, which gives to Guillaume VI for wife Jeanne de Lonray: A. of Broussillon as indirectly did it by showing as it was woman of Guillaume de Silly.

There thus remains established that Guillaume VI of Sillé had as a woman a girl, not of the Maison of Mayenne which did not exist any more, but of that of Mathefelon, and another of the Maison of Broussin, that of Broussin having replaced the preceding one towards 1302.

It had as children:

Robert, which succeeded to him;
Guillaume, which married Béatrix de Coulans, father of Guillaume which succeeded Robert, his uncle, and of another which accompanied his/her brother in Hungary. Béatrix was executer of its daughter-in-law in 1400, and would have lived until in 1420, date of its will;
Filipino, according to the Castle of Sourches , would have married Jean de Vassé in 1314 (Thursday, festival of Saint Martin), which makes suppose that it would have been born from a first marriage well before her brothers, according to a title attacked by the lord of Meilleraie and confirmed in August 1653 by Aubry, police chief with this deputy. In spite of this sentence of a judge of the 17th century favorable to the authenticity of a document of the 14th century, it is allowed to examine whether the woman of Jean de Vassé would not be girl of Guillaume de Silly and Jeanne de Lonray, and grand-daughter of NR. of Lonray and Filipino of Castle-Gontier. Confusion would be similar to that of the alleged marriage of Jeanne de Lonray and Guillaume de Sillé.
