Harpedans
The Harpedane family is a French aristocratic family who first appeared at the beginning of the 14th century. In the service of first the English, then the French kings, the family gained influence, and through marriages also gained property.
Jean I. de Harpedane was constable of England before he switched sides and not only Charles VI. connected, but also through his marriage to Jeanne de Clisson both connected to the Clisson house and came into the possession of the Belleville-sur-Vie estate . Jean III de Harpedane married an illegitimate daughter of Charles VI. and Odette de Champdivers .
Belleville, acquired by Jean I, gave the family its name. Jean II. De Harpedane was already called Jean de Belleville, after a few generations the name Harpedane was dropped completely and replaced by Belleville.
