Jean VI of Vendôme

Jean VI of Vendôme (death in 1365), count de Vendôme and of Castrate (1354 - 1365) of the Maison of Montoire, wire of Bouchard VI and Alix of Brittany.

He lives especially in Castres, which becomes county in 1356 and fights with Poitiers (1356) where he is made prisoner. In 1362, a troop of Gascons and English seize the city and make captive the countess Jeanne de Ponthieu and plunder the area. Several attempts to deliver the city by the weapons failed, and Jean VI had to be solved to pay a ransom to recover the city.

He marries towards 1342 Jeanne de Ponthieu and had:

Chesnaye Desbois allots to him to another girl Jeanne de Vendôme, married to Robert the Viscount then in 1345 in Gilles Cholet, lord of Dangeau. Information is taken again on several genealogical Web sites. A chronological examination shows the impossibility of this paternity and the study of several collection peerage-books shows that this Jeanne de Vendôme is a girl of Jean de Vendôme, lord of Layer, uncle de Jean VI.
