Paul d'Alleman de Saint-Amand
m. August 7, 1625 Anne deRostagnis
Marguerite Charlotte de Saint-Amand born c.1620 died c. 1670
Henri de Saint-Amand
Paul d'Alleman de Saint-Amand was the high page (comrade in arms) of Henri de Bourbon (Prince of Condé). His son, Henri, b 1626, died with no issue. His daughter, Marguerite, is documented in records dated 1650. His Seigneuris was probably located at the village of St-Amand which is 9 miles west of Avignon on Route D-19.
This Saint-Amand is quite possibly the nobleman who sponsored and gave the Saint-Amand name to Marc-Antoine Gerard (1594 - 1661).

Marc Antonie de Gerard Saint-Amant
SAINT-AMANT, Marc Antonie de Gerard, Sieur de, (1594 - 1661) Franch poet born near Rouen in the year 1594. His father was a merchant who had, according to his son’s account, been a sailor and had commanded for 22 years "une ascadre de la reine Elizabeth" - a vague statement that lacks confirmation. The son had obtained a patent of nobility and attached himself to different great noblemen - the Duc de Retz and Comte d’Harcourt among others. He saw military service and sojourned at different times in Italy, in England - a sojourn which provoked from him a violen political attack on the country, ALBINI 1643. In Poland he held a court appointment for two years. St. Amant’s later years were spent in France; and he died in Paris on the 29th of December 1661.
Saint-Amant has left a not inconsiderable body of poetry. His ALBINI and ROME RIDICULE set the fashion of a burlesque poem, a form in which he was excelled by his follower, Paul Scarron. In his later years he devoted himself to serious subjects and produced MOISE SAUVE 1653. His best work consists of Bacchanalian songs, his DEBAUCHE being one of the most remarkable convivial poems of its kind.
The standard edition is that of the Bibliotheque Elzevrienne, by M.C.L. Livet (w vols. Paris 1855)

Anthony de Saint-Amand
b. 1470
d. 1540
m. __________

Anthony de Saint-Amand was born in 1470 by Richard and his lover Mary Wroughton. Anthony was the natural son of Richard but not the lawful son. Perhaps this explains why the family sort of disappears from the royal lineages at this time and little is written about them. Anthony received a life-grant as Keeper of Blackmoor and steward of Malborough in July of 1508. He also received livery (legal possession) of the Saint-Amand lands in Wilts, Bedford, Berks, Huntington and Hereford after the death of Lady Anne in 1511. Anthony died in 1540. No longer royalty, the family stayed in England for a while but eventually left for France.

She is referred to as Dame Anne. He was convicted (attainted) by the "Act of 1484", but soon pardoned. He was made a Knight by King Henry VII about 1485, perhaps during the coronation. He received a grant of property forfeited by his stepfather, Roger, in March of 1485. Richard was appointed Keeper of Blackmore Forest, Wilts, as "Sir Richard Beauchamp" in 1486. In 1488, he was Commissioner of Musters in Wilts and in 1501 he was an officer supervising the official welcome of Katherine of Aragon. In 1504 "Richard Beauchamp, Knight, Lord St-Amand" served as Steward of Malborough, Wilts. He had no children by Dame Anne but he did have a "natural son", Anthony, by his lover, Mary Wroughton about 1470. He made his last will and testament on June 14, 1508 and died in July 1508. Some probate papers spell his name "Lord Seynatamand". He desired to be interred in the Black Friers' Church near Ludgate, within the City of London. Dame Anne married again to Sir John Hussey on June 4, 1509 and later died on March 2, 1511, but made Anthony the heir before her death. The title "Lord Saint-Amand" died with Richard but was restored to another branch of the family, only to die shortly thereafter. Anthony did not use the Beauchamp name but instead assumed the name of Saint-Amand.
