Geoffrey du Puy-du-Fou

From Medlands:

The brothers Geoffroy and Renaud du Puy-du-Fou, shown below, should be the same persons as the brothers of the same names, sons of Hugues du Puy-du-Fou and his second wife Valentia de Lusignan, assuming the accuracy of the source quoted below. However, a glance at the dates shows that this is unlikely to be correct. In addition, no trace in the family of the Vicomtes de Thouars has been found of their wives as reported in the same source. No corroboration of the existence of these individuals has so been identified in other sources. 1. GEOFFROY du Puy-du-Fou (-Rupella
