• Notes

  The name of the father of Didier Remy is not presently known. The Remy family has historically been found in the area of Picardy, France (in the region of Lorraine), where a large number of them appeared in the ranks of the nobility. It seems likely that Didier Remy was a descendant of Carlier de Remy, or Henri de St Remy (who's family was divided into two branches, St Remy de Vlois and St Remy de Luze, and spread out throughout the area of Didier Remy's residence). According to "The Chronology of the French family of Remy in France", many of the branches of Henri's family received armorial marriages and grants of nobility. Didier Remy received his ennoblement in 1554. The ancient French family of Remi (Remy) was originally a tribe of Gaul (Northern France and Belgium). The family was represented in French history by Bishop Saint Remi of Rheims (437-533), Abbot Remi of Strasbourg who died in 768, Archbishop Remi of Rouen who died in 771, the King of the Lombards (750-800), and many other famous people. Didier Remy of this French family was ennobled on 13 Sep 1554 and died in 1556. His son George Remy was also ennobled. George's son Jacques Remy was born in Ivoy in the Department of Ardennes about 1545-7. Jacques Remy became a Huguenot and was killed in Ivoy. His son Pierre Remy who was born about 1600 was also a Huguenot and was killed. Pierre's son Jacques Remy was born about 1630 in Picardy, Lorraine.

The arms are described as "Dor a ka fansent d'gueules accompagne au troic mullettes de sable". (A gold field crossed by a red bar, 3 blackbirds). The name of the father of Didier Remy is not presently known. The Remy family has historically been found in the area of Picardy, France (in the region of Lorraine), where a large number of them appeared in the ranks of the nobility. It seems likely that Didier Remy was a descendant of Carlier de Remy, or Henri de St Remy (who's family was divided into two branches -St Remy de VAlois and St Remy de Luze- and spread out throughout the area of Didier Remy's residence). According to "The Chronology of the French family of Remy in France", many of the branches of Henri's family received armorial marriages and grants of nobility. Didier Remy received his ennoblement in 1554. The French family of Remy is said to have been an ancient tribe of Gaul (Northern France and Belgium). French records extending as far back as 437 AD begin chronicaling the contributions of the Remy [Ramey] family to northern France. Remarkably, Remy's have been Kings (Didier, King of the Lombards) and Queens (Desiree Remy, sister of Didier and wife of King Charlemagne), Orators and Priests (St. Remy, son of Count Emile de Laon Remy), Treasurers to a King (Pierre Ramey of Lorraine to Charles IV), Noblemen, Landowners, Vintners, and Scholars.114 A reoccuring theme in the history of the Remy family is a close association with the church (prior to some members becoming Huguenots). In 12th-century Europe, knights began painting their shields to identify themselves while wearing full armour. These early coats of arms, while generally very simple, clearly showed the person's identity. The idea caught on and, as coats of arms grew in popularity, more symbols were needed and coats of arms became more complex. Gradually, monarchs took control of the official granting and use of coats of arms, which allowed them to honour people and groups. There are a number of coats of arms borne by the Remy family. Didier Remy was born into this French family about 1480-1490. He was ennobled September 13, 1554 and died in 1556. French Rameys on record before 1490: SAINT REMY, born in 437 AD at Cerny in Lorraine near Leon of Croanne, ancient Picardy (now Dept of Ainna), died Jan. 13, 533 AD, at Rheims. He was the son of Count Emile de Laon Remy and Celinie, and brother of the Priciple Bishop of Goismons. He studied literature, in which his great virtue and noble birth caused him to succeed, at Gannade, the metropolitan seat in 459 AD. There he acquired great knowledge and piety. Authoritative records of his life and works are rare, nevertheless, a few of his writings are preserved in the church records. He was considered the greatest orator of his time. He was the first Bishop of Rheims and he annointed and crowned Clovis, First King of France in 496 AD. He was ennobled in 497. "D'or a une tet d'aigle arracha de aable." DIDIER REMY, KING OF THE LOMBARDS 750-800 Didier, King of the Lombards beseiged the new Pope, Adrian I, at Rome. Charlemagne, King of France, had married Desiree, sister of King Didier. Charlemagne sent Desiree home to the King. As Charlemagne was a champion of the Church of Rome the Pope asked his help after King Didier attacked. Charlemagne attacked the King of The Lombards and finally beseiged him in his most strongly fortified place, Pavia. After 8 years of fighting, King Didier Remy surrendered and Charlemagne banished him to a monastary at Liege, Belgium where he ended his days in saintly style. DESIREE REMY, SISTER OF KING DIDIER OF THE LOMBARDS: married SON OF PEPIN THE BREF, KING OF FRANCE, CALOWAN (KNOWN AS CHARLEMAGNE) King of France. He became tired of her and sent her home to King Didier, which caused bad blood between Didier and King Charlemagne. ARCHIBISHOP REMI, was Archbishop of Roouen in 753. He was supposed to be an uncle of Charlemagne and the illegitimate son of Charles Martel. He became a religiouse at Mont Boacte, Italy where he built a church just before Constantine became a Christian, and was the first to use the Chant of The Church of Rome brought to him by King Papin (who was Ambassador to the Pope for DIDIER REMY KING OF LOMBARDY in their negotiations for peace). He died 1-17-771 and was buried at Rouen until the pillage of 1572. His feast days are still celebrated May 13 and Jan 10 in Rouen. ABBOT REMI OF STRASSBURG died in 788.

He was Archchaplain of Emperor Lorhaire and King Charles. In 854 a famous controversary between him and the Archbishop of Rheims began, and lasted to 885 (on the subject of "Grace and Predestination"). He was considered one of the greatest princes of his time and some authorities believe he was the author of "The Commentaries on the First Thirteen Epistles of St. Paul".

Thousands of his warriors followed his example.
