Agnes Jenner (la Gynnere)

Biography
Agnes's surname, le Gynnere, is derived from the Old French word engineor or gineor. This word has a broad range of meanings, from 'designer' or 'planner' to 'a maker of siege engines' or a craftsman or woman generally. It is perhaps most likely in this case that the by-name is a negative nickname suggestive a schemer or deceiver. See the Anglo-Norman Dictionary, www.anglonorman.net.
