I don't think Jaune is from Vale and is one of the families living in the outside territories and little villages that came about by nomadic travel because he did not know much about things that seemed common knowledge to everyone else in the cast.

My theory is that his whatever-grandfather after the war wanted to live in more "peace and quiet" and moved to one of the minor villages outside of the kingdoms were war between men was al least deminished to the more important man vs. grimm. So there you have a war hero becoming a village hero by way of the protection offered against the grimm so it is more of a local pressure than a international pressure of being the descendant of a general of war or something similar.
