It’s possible it is Maria del Piero Medici. Piero was a brother of the better known Lorenzo. This is what comes up on my Comeau family tree searches. But no doubt there were several Marias!

In researching my ancestry, I have encountered a contradiction regarding the wife of Guy de Comeau, II (also shown in FamilySearch as Guy II de Comeaux, Ecuyer).

This profile lists Lady Florence Maria Medici de Valois as his wife.
Alternately, FamilySearch lists Maria de Medici di Piero (1450-1471) as his wife.

The latter seems improbable. What is your view on this?
Thank you.

Maria di Piero date of death is too early for descendant shown.

It’s all rather vague, isn’t it? Vague and dare I say fanciful. I’ve never seen any concrete proof of a de Comeau & Medici union.

So let’s describe her birth surname as unknown, and put Medici in the AKA field.

At least one of the two Medici candidates was illegitimate, and I don’t doubt that there were many more sired by various Medici males…

As a note.

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Comeau-1023 (which does not show wife or parents for Guy de Comeau, fils) “comments” -

Attached is a page with It's own attachments and explanations of 'feuxs" and "homes" (foi et hommage) documents for Guy de Comeau, seigneur de Creancy-http://comeaunet.org/en/fiscal-census-guy-commeau/

Apparently there was a documented Pierre de Comeau born ca. 1601 to parents Jean de Comeau and Marguerite Ocquidem, and died ca. 1672 in and around Dijon, and was a viscount (vicomte) and lieutenant general (district attorney) for the bailliage of Dijon, and supposedly married an Anne Morin and that family stayed in Burgundy in the nobility. This would explain the confusion that the father James Comeau had in seeing another Pierre (de) Comeau documented around the same time and place as the Pierre Comeau, progenitor of the Acadian Comeaus.

And it’s a dead link.
