The Scottish
arms allude to
the French Arms
of the armiger’s
family: The
shield is a
synthesis
reflecting the
quartered Arms
of the armiger’s
families of
Philip and
Boisserolles.
The armiger’s
family is an
ancient family
of small rural
Lords in the old
Province of
Languedoc (South
France) which
goes back to the
14th century.
The first known
forefather of
the armiger is
Guillaume de
Boisserolles,
been born circa
1340 in the
village of
Boisserolles, in
the Mas of
Boisserolles (lat.
Mansus de
Boyssayroliis),
in the Gard
(Languedoc).
The direct
family of the
armiger left the
Gard circa 1580
to became
established 60
km farther, in
the Départment
of Lozère
(Languedoc). His
direct
forefathers were
lords of a small
village, named
“Saint-Julien du
Gourg”, next to
Florac
(Lozère-Languedoc).
They were
Finance Officers
of the Barony of
Florac under the
reign of Louis
XV.
The crest, an
eagle holding a
sprig of Box, is
also an heraldic
allusion to the
family
Boisserolles,
whose name comes
from the Latin
“Buxus” and
means the box
tree.
The Scottish
roots of the
Armiger are
recorded through
the branch of
his paternal
family Philip.
The Philip
ancestor was
probably a
Scottish soldier
who went to the
Kingdom of
France during
the Hundred
Years War. This
branch of the
family settled
in Languedoc and
has for
centuries been
landowners.
The Barony of
Hartsyde (also
called Wandell)
is an old
Scottish feudal
Crown Barony
(1345/1613) and
is located in
the in Upper
Clydesdale, near
Biggar,
Lanarkshire.
Hartsyde may be
so named from
Hertisheved, a
name of Saxon
origin, been
deflected in
modern language
into Hartsyde
(Harts/Deers),
which have
formerly been
plentiful in the
woods of the
Barony; King
James V pursued
the sport of
deer-hunting in
the once
thickly-wooded
hills of
Hartsyde.
The
name Wandell is
thought to have
derived from the
British Quendall
or Gwendall,
signifying "the
White Meadow".
The succession
of the barony
has followed
five families.
The HERTYSHED
family:
The territory of
Hartsyde was
held in 1198, by
William de
Hertisheved, in
the reign of
William I. In
1225. In the
reign of
Alexander II,
William de
Hertisheved was
Sheriff of
Lanark. His son,
Alan de
Hertesheued live
in 1240/1250 and
Richard de
Hertishevit
lived in the
latter half of
the 13th c.
The LOGAN
family:
Walter Logan,
Lord of
Hartside, became
Sheriff of
Lanark in 1301
and was granted
the Estates of
Hartside in
Upper Clydesdale
in year 1306.
This family died
out in the
direct line in
the first half
of the 14th c.,
as the Barony of
Hertysheuid
(Hartsyde) was
in the ward of
the Crown around
1340.
The JARDINE (of
Applegirth)
family:
In 1345 William
de Gardine
obtained from
King David II a
Charter of the
lands and Barony
of Hertishyde
(Hartsyde) in
Lanarkshire. In
1559, Mary,
Queen of Scots,
granted John
Jardine of
Applegirth,
Baron of
Hartsyde,
further lands
within the
Barony of
Hartsyde or
Wandell
(Lanarkshire).
The Jardens of
Applegirth
continued to
hold the barony
of Hartside,
otherwise called
Wendal, till the
17th century.
The
DOUGLAS family:
In 1613, King
James VI granted
in a Charter the
lands and Barony
of Hartsyde,
alias Wandell
(County of
Lanark), in
favour of
William Douglas,
Earl of Angus.
This is the
actual
entitlement to
the Barony of
Hartsyde. On the
16 September
1617 a new
Barony, named
Wandell, was
created.
The
PHILIP
BOISSEROLLES de
St-JULIEN
family:
The title and
all rights of
the Barony of
Hartsyde are
currently held
by The Much
Honoured
Jean-Guy PHILIP
BOISSEROLLES de
St-JULIEN, Baron
of Hartsyde.
The
blazon for the
armiger’s French
coat of arms as
Baron of
Toutemoy (as
recorded in
Spain and South
Africa) is as
