Henri, count of Guerville, went to Jerusalem on crusade in the 12th century. On his return he established the priory of Secqueval, of which only ruins of the chapel remain.[3][4] One holder of the title served under Louis XIV, as the head of royal hunting (the "Grand Écuyer of France").[citation needed] At the time of the French revolution, the last male heir fled to London where his wife died. He returned to France with his two daughters and was buried in Ferrières-en-Gâtinais.[citation needed]
