Nicolas Denisot

Jehan's eldest son John was born with his first wife Simone Moreau who died soon after.

His older brother Francis, born of the second marriage and the eldest of Nicolas, joined the church.

Francis practiced poetry as a hobby, and later became abbot of La Perine and then Prior at Asse-le-Riboul.

Denisot followed in the footsteps of his father, made a career as a lawyer and was later appointed Attorney in Le Mans.

He published a Christmas poem collection in December 1545, preceding those of Barthélemy Aneau, under a pseudonym "Count of Alsinois".
