• Notes

  "Gabriel Grimaldi [...] started the family tradition of serving the house of Anjou. King Charles I of Sicily rewarded Gabriel for his service with 250 livres of gold in 1269 and a military sash (ceinture) of honor. His son, Gaspard Grimaldi, also received a rent of 150 ounces of gold from King Robert of Naples. In 1317, Gaspard was appointed, along with Charles Fieschi, a captain of the people and a rector of the community of Genoa. The Grimaldi's loyalty to the house of Anjou would have been natural for a Guelph family. Gaspard's sons, Gabriel, Antoine, and Percival continued his support of the Angevin cause." [John P. DuLong, citation details below]
