According to Richard, the genealogy shown below was fabricated by René du Puy-du-Fou (and therefore presumably dated to the 1620s/1630s), who also fabricated a chronicle in latin as the supposed primary source, and was first published by Augustin du Paz in his Table généalogique de la maison Du Puy-du-Fou in 1639[589]. It is reported only in a small group of chronicles from Aquitaine, presumably all based on the same original source. These documents are not mutually compatible, as shown by the chronological difficulties linking the brothers Geoffroy and Renaud du Puy-du-Fou with their supposed parents Hugues du Puy-du-Fou and his [second] wife Valentia de Lusignan (see below). It has not so far been possible to corroborate any of the details from other primary sources, although as can be seen below it is difficult to ignore this reconstruction entirely because of the supposed links to other contemporary noble families. According to one of these sources, the brothers "Trullo de Podio Augusti et Rainaldi de Podio Fagi" (shown below) were sons of "Willelmus Ferrum-sector" who, it says, was the son of "Trullus" Vicomte de Thouars, whose ancestry it traces to other vicomtes de Thouars, descended from an otherwise unrecorded brother of Ebles Duke of Aquitaine and Comte de Poitou[590]. This descent, and the alleged earlier vicomtes de Thouars which this source purports to record, are inconsistent with the lineage of the vicomte de Thouars recorded in other primary sources (see the document POITOU). The alleged family of du Puy-du-Fou is of some interest in view of the alternative origin which the source provides for the wife of Ramiro II King of Aragon and Navarre, ancestor of all later kings of Aragon through their daughter Petronilla, and for the other supposed links to other noble families.
RENAUD du Puy-du-Fou (-before 1060). A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Trullo de Podio Augusti et Rainaldo de Podio Fagi fratre suo" among those present at a donation to the abbey of Saint-Maixent, adding that Renaud was "Franciæ Camerarius" under Henri I King of France but died before the king[595]. m as her first husband, HAVISE [de Broyes, daughter of HUGUES [I] "Bardoul" Seigneur de Broyes & his wife Alvidis ---]. A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records that "Rainaldus…de Podio-fagi, Trulli frater germanus…cum Helvisa conjuge filiisque suis Hugone atque Willelmo" donated property "de Henssionensi" to the abbey of Saint-Maixence[596]. A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records that "Helvisa" was the daughter of "Hugone nuncupato Bardulfo qui tenuit Puirium castrumque de Bellofonte et etiam de Novigento" and that she married "Valeranno Franciæ Camerario" after the death of her first husband[597]. However, it should be noted that this particular source appears not to be completely reliable. Until another source emerges which corroborates Havise´s origin and marriage, it is best to treat this information with some caution. She married secondly Galéran. Renaud & his wife had two children
