French-born?
The lede says he was a French-born English
divine. However, the Early Life section says Basire was born, according to Anthony à Wood, in Jersey. We know that Jersey has been under the king of England since 1066, and the
Jersey article says "After Normandy was lost by the kings of England in the 13th century, and the ducal title surrendered to France, Jersey and the other
Channel Islands remained attached to the English crown."
