• Claimed as an ancestor of Jean Boileau (d.1396) - supposedly his great great grandfather - making him DBHB's great x20 grandfather.
• Born either in 1200 or 1210.
• The earliest recorded 'Boileau', which may have led later Boileaus to invent a connection to him, though no supporting evidence now exists (according to the *Chronicles of Boileau).
• Provost of Paris from 1261, appointed by King Louis IX of France (Saint Louis). Etienne's wikipedia entry is here.
• Died ~1269-1271.

Ironically, although Emily Elliott's descent from Etienne Boileau is uncertain, her descent from King Louis IX's great grandfather Louis VII is rather better documented!
