Jean de la Bruyere was born in Paris.His family was middle class and his reference to a certain “Geoffroy de la Bruyere”, a crusader, is only a satirical illustration of a method of self-ennoblement then common in France, as in some other countries. Indeed, he always signed his sir name as Delabruyere in one word,as evidence of this disdain.
