Notes for Sir John FitzGeffery
College of Arms shows John FitzJohn as the son of John FitzGeffery and the father of Maud FitzJohn. This appears to be wrong - John FitzJohn dsp!

The table in CP, Vol V, p. 437 is the genealogy I have accepted, where Maud FitzJohn, wife of Wm de Beauchamp, is the daughter of John FitxGeoffrey.
Arms Generally
