What is wrong with this stuff? Everything. First there is no coat-of-arms for William DeMelun. He lived a good 150 years before their first primitive use. The armorials of the later DeMelun family are completely different. Secondly, Count de Melan is not Count de Melun. Thorkill of Arden is the Count of Melan. This is the way aristocrats names are listed. Thirdly, Durand, Stephen and Rayner are three carpenters of the trade. They are not the only board-bangers who received land from King William. However, they were three who were named. To claim they are the sons of Mr. DeMelun is completely unfounded, without even the slightest shred of fact. etc., etc., etc. Why is LaMesa John serving up Tony? It is because he wants us to believe his own bogus research. There can be no doubt LaMesa John is the very source of Tony's material. LaMesa John is dishonest. Sadly, Bruce E. Carpenter
