Biette was the daughter of the François Cassinel, sergent d'armes of John II of France, and Alix Deschamps.[2] She was the sister of Ferry Cassinel, bishop of Lodève and Auxerre and eventually archbishop of Rheims.[2]
Biette was married to Gérard de Montagu by 1336.[2] She was the mother of Jean de Montagu, who would rise to become Grand Master of France.[3] It is said by some that Jean was her son by Charles V,[citation needed] while Merlet and Delachenal state there is no evidence for this.[b] Autrand states that a clerk of Parlement skipped two words, concerning Jean's execution, which incorrectly attributed Charles V as Jean's father, instead of his legitimate father Gerard de Montaigu.[5]
- "Although Biette Cassinel has been attached occasionally to Charles V, no concrete evidence for a relationship exists."[1]
