| Notes |
- From http://www.mosquitonet.com/~luht/FOUNT.HTM John de la Fontaine was born in the Province of Maine, France. He received a commission in the household of Francis I in the King's Royal Ordinance. He served the court in this office through the reigns of Henry II and Francis II, and until the second year of Charles IX. He embraced Protestantism about the year 1535 and he held his commission until the religious controversy quieted. Soon after his resignation he was attacked by ruffians who cut his throat. His wife and eldest son met the same fate. Gilles, Jean's father could not bear to bring up his sons, according to the usual habits of nobility, without any employment, and therefore placed his son, Jean (John) de la Fontaine, in the king's service. He served in the "Les Ordannances de Roi" during the reigns of Francis I, Henry II, Francis II and the second year of Charles IX when he voluntarily resigned. He converted to Protestantism about 1535. Resigned his commission about 1562 and retired to his estate in Maine where he actively supported the Protestant Church. In 1563, he, his wife, one son, and a faithful valet were assassinated by a group of ruffians from the city of Le Mans who had been dispatched by members of the Catholic Church.
