Information about the Comeau family

Question

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the Comeau family. Specifically Guy Comeau II and Claude Comeau II. I've found that Guy Comeau II was married to someone named Mary Medici? While Claude Comeau II is said to have been married to someone named Jeanne de Gissey (which some say is de Guise)?

I'm just wondering if anyone has found any information about these marriages and the parentage of these two women. Any info is appreciated, thank you!
