In the 14th century one of the French Kings sent his envoy to Avignon to resolve thesplit in the Roman Catholic Church . The Secretary to the envoy was named Sains - there are 8 small villages with the name Sains in them in France - there is a Sains temple of Love in Sains du nord. this info was from Ron Sains who traced our family tree.
