I know this is somewhat outside the medieval period and it is French to boot but the topic has cropped up here before. Can anyone comment on what is the latest consensus on the status of Anne Leneuf dit du Herisson b. 1632 Caen, Normandy, France, daughter of Michel-Mathieu Leneuf who in turn was son of Mathieu Leneuf and Jeanne Lemarchand? Anne married Antoine Desrosiers. Is Anne now considered daughter of an earlier marriage, or an illegitimate daughter, or an adopted daughter? Thanks for any info. Cynthia Montgomery

To my knowledge, no new evidence has surfaced regarding the parentage of Anne du Hérisson since the publication of our article “Les Le Neuf: état des connaissances” in 2000. A review of the available evidence at that time suggested that she was probably the illegitimate daughter of Michel Le Neuf, sieur du Hérisson. I would say that is where the case still lies.
