After the war and restoration of the crown (Charles ll), he served as Lt. Bailiff for Jersey. See Page 29 of the Landers book for a thesis about Jean and Pages 97, 98 and 100 of "All for the King". In "All for the King" we learn about Jean's involvement as a Royalists in protecting Charles ll after his father was beheaded. A portrat of Jean exists from about 1635 (Landers, p. 35), prior to the civil war in England. The photo at left is of the portrait from many years ago. The black mark on his cheek is said to be from a Parliamentarian mistaking the portrait to be that of the King and stuck his sword through it. The painting has recently been repaired and cleaned and is currently well cared for in a private collection in Jersey. Your webmaster viewed it in 2013 while visiting Jersey, as shown in the photo at right. The owner does not wish to be identiified. Jean Poingdestre's publications:
