The people in this column claim to be and most likely are descendants of 'de Guînes'. If there is a relationship, either by name or locality, it is very difficult to see. No way to tell if there are any connections. There seems to be a shortage of male descendants in the 'de Guînes' and many lines end abruptly. Possibly lines died out due to The Black Death, in battle or other causes.

There are no records of the illegitimate children of Baudoin II and there may be up to 23. So, while we know they existed, these people are not included and we don't know where they went or even what name they went by. Take a look at: de Guînes Genealogy chart.

Looking for connections: Evidence shows connections between Gyn and Basset spanning more than two hundred years but what does this mean?:

In Rutland, is there a connection between William de Gyneye, 'Haverland Manor' and Walter de Gyn (Refers to Simon Basset); Walter de Gyn, before 1189, Belvoir (?) (See note) (Refers to Basset); Robert de Gines (Gin, Gisn) 1244-1247, Toleshunt in Essex (See note) (Refers to Fulk Basset, Bishop of London); Robert de Gynes, 1274 (See note) (Refers to Philip Basset) (See related); Robert de Gynes, 1345, Lancashire (See note) (Refers to William Basset) (see related); Also, a Richard Gyn, archer, served under Ralph Basset in France in 1373; William Gyn, 1401, Moulton, Northampton (See note, refers to Ralph Basset) (*??*)

Robert de Guînes relationship with Fulk Basset: "In after times Robert de Guisnes gave to Fulk Basset, Bishop of London, the homage of Henry de Mark in this place.
