He married a lady Joan, descendant of the nobles de Touchy of Byzantium, and after her death, he married in 1340 Joan de Vergy, lady of Lirey(in Champagne, between Joinville and Paris) and grandson of Othon de la Roche, who translated in 1208 the (false) shroud of Besançon from Athens. In 1345 he depart with mans of France and Italy (of Venice, Cyprus, and Hospitallers of Rhodes) for a sortie to Smyrna but, at first, is wintered in Negroponte. He return in 1347 depositing the loot in the hands of Philip VI of Valois. Geoffroy de Charny was remunerated from King only in 1349 with some relics, including the Shroud, described in her time as not much precious! The Shroud was not found in Izmir, where has gone Geoffroy only to fight, nor in Athens, where the citizens deplored already at first the loss of one (false) Shroud: in effect it was in hands to the King of France, maybe taken in somebody of the Italian territories, crossed by Baldwin II in his last twelve years.
