Sources for this record

Sources are listed in order of evidential weight. A contemporary record outranks a printed reference work; a printed reference work outranks a derivative pedigree or an online database.

1. 1. Primary or contemporary record

   Trésor des chartes de Lorraine, 1355, archival reference under investigation, Duchy of Lorraine, ducal archive tradition, 1355

   • Cited for: Moingins dis li clers, also recorded as Mengin Le Clerc, of Deyvillers
   • Cited for: Sale in 1355 to Jean de Nomeny of two inherited portions from the estate of the late Philippin de Girecourt, écuyer, at Folz beneath the castle of Faucompierre, for 26 petits florins d'or

   The transcription and citation tradition of this act are established; a modern archival shelfmark has not yet been confirmed and none is asserted here. The act does not identify Moingins dis li clers with Johann III von Mengen.

2. 2. Older Le Clerc genealogical tradition

   Guy de Rambaud, Mengin Le Clerc View source

   • Cited for: The older Le Clerc genealogical tradition concerning Mengin Le Clerc, also recorded as Moingins dis li clers, of Deyvillers
   • Cited for: The 1355 transaction with Jean de Nomeny over inherited portions of the estate of the late Philippin de Girecourt at Folz beneath Faucompierre for 26 petits florins d'or, attributed to the Trésor des chartes de Lorraine

   Evidence for Mengin Le Clerc and the 1355 transaction only. It is not evidence that Mengin Le Clerc and Johann III von Mengen are the same person.

3. 3. Older Le Clerc genealogical tradition

   Guy de Rambaud, Famille Le Clerc View source

   • Cited for: The wider Le Clerc genealogical tradition of Lorraine
   • Cited for: A repetition of the 1355 record for Moingins dis li clers
   • Cited for: The Gircourt (Girecourt) marriage of Mengin Le Clerc

   The Gircourt marriage is the canonical reading followed by this archive: Mengin Le Clerc married Catherine de Gircourt, daughter of Jacques de Gircourt and Catherine de Haute-Pierre. The earlier Mengen–Bauffremont reconstruction has been withdrawn.
