The counties of Sens and Joigny were located west of Troyes, east of Gâtinais and Melun, and north of Auxerre, in the south-western part of the medieval county of Champagne. They evolved in the pagus Senonicus which straddled the river Yonne, from its confluence with the Seine in the north and with the Armançon and Serein in the south, and was centred on the archiepiscopal city of Sens.
Chapter 1. SENS
Sens is situated west of Troyes in the present-day French département of Yonne. It lay within the pagus Senonicus, the largest of the five pagi within the archiepiscopal province of Sens[1]. Comtes de Sens are recorded in primary sources from the early 9th century until 1015 when the county became part of the domaine royale of the Capetian kings.
A. COMTES de SENS 817-882
1. ARNOUL, illegitimate son of Emperor LOUIS I & his mistress --- ([794]-after [Mar/Apr] 841). The Chronicon Moissacense names "quartum…filium [Ludovici]…ex concubina…Arnulfum" recording that his father gave him the county of Sens[2]. Comte de Sens 817. He was a supporter of his half-brother Emperor Lothaire in [Mar/Apr] 841[3].
1. RUDOLF [I], son of WELF [I] Graf in Swabia & his wife Heilwig --- (-15 Oct 866). Thegan names (in order) "Chuonradum et Ruodolfum" brothers of Empress Judith[4]. He was given the abbeys of Saint-Riquier and Jumièges, through the influence of his sister Empress Judith. The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that "Rodolphe…du sang imperial…oncle du glorieux roi Charles" succeeded abbé Louis as lay abbot of Saint-Riquier[5]. He and his brother Conrad were forcibly tonsured in [Apr 830] by their sister's stepson, Lothar, then in revolt against his father, and sent to Aquitaine "to be held by Pepin"[6]. The Annales Alamannicorum record "Hruodolfus frater Iudith Augustæ" among those who swore allegiance in 864[7]. Comte de Sens. The Annales Bertiniani record the death in 866 of "Rodulfus Karoli regis avunculus"[8]. The Adonis Continuatio records the death in 866 of "avunculus quoque eius [Carolo, Ludovici filii"] Radulfus, consiliarius primusque palatii"[9]. Two contemporary Epitafia commemorate "nobilis…Rhuodulfus", the second recording his death "Idus octavo"[10]. m HRUODUN, daughter of --- (-after 867). The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Comte Rudolf [I] & his wife had four children: a) CONRAD (-882, bur Sens, Sainte-Colombe). Comte de Paris, Comte de Sens.

B. VICOMTES et COMTES de SENS [882]-1015
1. WARNER [Garnier], son of --- (-killed in battle 6 Dec 924). Vicomte de Sens. Comte de Troyes 895/96. The Chronico Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that "Warnerius vicecomes Senonum" was killed fighting "Paganos in monte Chalo…8 Id Dec [924]"[14]. m TEUTBERGA d'Arles, daughter of THIBAUT Comte d'Arles & his wife Berta of Lotharingia [Carolingian] ([880/90][15]-before Sep 948). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. She is named "matris mee Theotberg" in the Sep 948 donation to Cluny of her son "Manases archiepiscopus Arelatensis" made for her soul[16], presumably indicating that she was then deceased. Warner & his wife had [six] children: a) HUGUES de Troyes ([900/05]-before 948). "Manases archiepiscopus Arelatensis" names his brothers "pro anima fratrum meorum Hugonis, Richard et Bosonis" in his Sep 948 donation to Cluny for their souls[17], presumably indicating that all three were then deceased. His birth date range is estimated from the estimated birth date range of his mother, and the fact that he was the father of two sons in 927. [Comte Palatin de Bourgogne 927.] "Hugo comes et coniux mea Wila necnon et filius eius Boso" donated property to Montiéramey by charter dated Apr [927], signed by "Hugonis comitis, Wilæ uxoris eius, Bosonis filii eius, Warnerii ipsorum filii"[18]. m (before 927) as her second husband, WILLA, widow of ---. daughter of [LUDWIG of Burgundy [Kingdom] & his wife ---] ([905/07]-[967/86] or after) The Vita of archbishop Thibaut names "coniugem…Burgundionis regis nepotem…Wiltermam" as wife of Hugues and mother of the archbishop[19]. Her name indicates that, assuming that this source correctly records her relationship to the kings of Burgundy, she was almost certainly a descendant of King Rudolf I & his wife of the same name. If this is correct, "neptis" could be interpreted either as granddaughter (in relation to King Rudolf I) or as niece (in relation to King Rudolf II). Chronologically this is also consistent with her estimated birth date range, based on the birth of two of her children before 927 and her husband's own estimated birth date range. In either case, she must have been the daughter of Ludwig of Burgundy or of one of his sisters. Both of Ludwig's known or supposed sisters are excluded as they are each already recorded as having a daughter named Willa, neither of whom could have been the husband of Hugues de Troyes. It is of course possible that Willa, wife of Hugues, was the daughter of another sister who is unrecorded elsewhere. Her first marriage is confirmed by the following document, which names her son Boson, although her first husband has not been identified[20]: "Hugo comes et coniux mea Wila necnon et filius eius Boso" donated property to Montiéramey by charter dated Apr [927], signed by "Hugonis comitis, Wilæ uxoris eius, Bosonis filii eius, Warnerii ipsorum filii"[21]. "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Montiéramey, for the soul of "senioris mei Hugonis, memor filiorum nostrorum Theutboldi archiepiscopi et Hucberti seu Warnerii defuncti", by charter dated to [970/86], subscribed by "Theutboldi archiepiscopi, Huberti comitis…Adeleidæ comitissæ…Eriberti comitis…"[22]. Hugues & his wife had [four] children: i) GARNIER de Troyes . "Hugo comes et coniux mea Wila necnon et filius eius Boso" donated property to Montiéramey by charter dated Apr [927], signed by "Hugonis comitis, Wilæ uxoris eius, Bosonis filii eius, Warnerii ipsorum filii"[23]. "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Montiéramey, for the soul of "senioris mei Hugonis, memor filiorum nostrorum Theutboldi archiepiscopi et Hucberti seu Warnerii defuncti", by charter dated to [970/86], subscribed by "Theutboldi archiepiscopi, Huberti comitis…Adeleidæ comitissæ…Eriberti comitis…"[24]. ii) THIBAUT de Troyes ([after 927]-1001). The Vita of archbishop Thibaut names his parents: "pater…Hugo: Francorum genere clarus: inter primos palatii, non infimus" and his "coniugem…Burgundionis regis nepotem…Wiltermam"[25]. Archbishop of Vienne 967/986. "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Montiéramey, for the soul of "senioris mei Hugonis, memor filiorum nostrorum Theutboldi archiepiscopi et Hucberti seu Warnerii defuncti", by charter dated to [970/86], subscribed by "Theutboldi archiepiscopi, Huberti comitis…Adeleidæ comitissæ…Eriberti comitis…"[26]. iii) HUMBERT de Troyes ([after 927]-). "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Montiéramey, for the soul of "senioris mei Hugonis, memor filiorum nostrorum Theutboldi archiepiscopi et Hucberti seu Warnerii defuncti", by charter dated to [970/86], subscribed by "Theutboldi archiepiscopi, Huberti comitis…Adeleidæ comitissæ…Eriberti comitis…"[27]. same person as…? HUMBERT (-after [995]). Comte [de Belley]. Manteyer suggests that Humbert, son of Hugues de Troyes, was the same person as Comte Humbert [de Belley], whom he identifies as the possible father of Humbert [I] "blancis manibus" Comte de Maurienne and ancestor of the counts of Savoy[28]. As discussed in BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY, Humbert Comte [de Belley] could also have been the same person as the son of Charles Constantin Comte de Vienne and, in any case, it is unlikely that he was the father of Comte Humbert [I] de Maurienne. iv) [ADELAIS ([930/32] or [940/45?]-after Jul 987). This is one of several proposed origins for the wife of Lambert Comte de Chalon: follow his hyperlink for discussion of the other possibilities, and also a discussion about Adelais’s possible earlier marriage and her alternative birth and marriage dates. Settipani suggests that Adelais was the daughter of Comte Hugues. He summarises criteria which he considers necessary for establishing her parentage (including highlighting the apparent onomastic connection with the Ottonian imperial family, her family holding property in the Auxerre and Beaune areas, descent from the kings of Upper Burgundy, and a possible relationship with Giselbert Duke of Burgundy) and concludes that his proposal satisfies his criteria, although he does add that “Tout cela est bien incertain, nous en convenons”[29]. m firstly ([943/46] or ([956/60?]) [as his second wife?] LAMBERT Comte de Chalon, son of ROBERT Vicomte de Dijon & his wife Ingeltrude --- (-22 Feb 978, bur Paray-le-Moniale). m secondly (Mar 978 or [Mar 978/early 979]) as his second wife, GEOFFROY I "Grisegonelle" Comte d'Anjou, son of FOULQUES II "le Bon" Comte d'Anjou & his first wife Gerberge --- ([938/40]-Marçon 21 Jul 987, bur Châteauneuf, église Saint-Martin).] b) RICHARD de Troyes (-before 948). "Manases archiepiscopus Arelatensis" names his brothers "pro anima fratrum meorum Hugonis, Richard et Bosonis" in his Sep 948 donation to Cluny for their souls[30], presumably indicating that all three were then deceased. Comte de Troyes. Vicomte de Sens. c) MANASSES de Troyes (-[962/63]). "Manases archiepiscopus Arelatensis" made a donation of "Juliacum cum tribus ecclesiis in pago Cabilonensi" dated Sep 948 to Cluny "pro anima matris mee Theotberg" and "pro anima fratrum meorum Hugonis, Richard et Bosonis"[31]. "Warnerio" is named as father, and "Teutberga" as mother, of "Manasses archiepiscopus Arelatensis, postea Mediolanus" in a charter dated [1032/39][32]. Archbishop of Arles after 913, although this date appears early bearing in mind the likely birth date range of his mother. Bishop of Triento 933-957. Archbishop of Vienne 935-948. Archbishop of Milan 950/960. d) BOSO de Troyes (-before Sep 948). "Manases archiepiscopus Arelatensis" names his brothers "pro anima fratrum meorum Hugonis, Richard et Bosonis" in his Sep 948 donation to Cluny for their souls[33], presumably indicating that all three were then deceased. e) [FROMOND (-13 Aug 948). The Chronico Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that "Frotmundus vicecomes Senonum" captured "castellum S Columbæ" in 942[34]. There is no proof that Fromond Vicomte de Sens was the son of Warnarius. His absence from the lists of sons of Warnarius in the charters cited above suggests that he may not have been related. However, no other Vicomte de Sens is named in the Chronico between the death of Warnarius recorded in 924 and this entry for Fromond. Vicomte de Sens. - see below.] f) [TEUTBERGA (-after 960). The origin of the wife of Charles Constantin is not known. However, her name suggests a connection with the family of the Comtes de Troyes and it has been suggested[35] that she was the daughter of Garnier Vicomte de Sens. m CHARLES CONSTANTIN Comte de Vienne, son of Emperor LOUIS III King of Italy [Provence] & his wife Adelais --- ([905/10][36]-after 962).]
FROMOND [I], son of [WARNER [Garnier] Vicomte de Sens & his wife Teutberga d'Arles] (-13 Aug 948). The Chronico Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that "Frotmundus vicecomes Senonum" captured "castellum S Columbæ" in 942[37]. There is no proof that Fromond was the son of Warnarius and his absence from the lists of brothers in the charters cited above suggests that he may not have been related. However, no other Vicomte de Sens is named in the Chronico between the death of Warnarius recorded in 924 and this entry for Fromond. Vicomte de Sens. The sacrementaire of Sens cathedral records the death "Id Aug 948" of "Frothmundus comes Senonensis"[38].

No proof has been found that Daimbert Archbishop of Sens was related to the family of the Vicomtes de Sens. However, his name suggests a possible connection as well as his appointment to the archiepiscopal see previously held by Mainard de Sens (see above).
1. DAIMBERT, son of --- (-28 Nov 1122, bur Sens Saint-Pierre). Provost and thesaurarius of Sens. Archbishop of Sens 1097. Gallia Christiana records his death "IV Kal Dec" 1122 and burial “in capitulo S. Petri”[69].

Bouchard highlights the difficulty of deciding whether “suus” in relation to the witness refers to “Awalonem [dominum Seleniaci]” or another of the witnesses, but notes the use of the name Daimbert in the family of the vicomtes de Sens which could suggest a Seignelay family connection (see Avalon [II]’s son Daimbert)[71].
3. MANASSES de Sens . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Vicomte de Sens. 1114. m MARGUERITE de Montlhéry, daughter of MILON [I] "le Grand" Seigneur de Montlhéry & his wife Lithuaise Vicomtesse de Troyes.

Chapter 2. NOBILITY in SENS
A. SEIGNEURS de COURTENAY
Courtenay is situated about 20 kilometres south-west of Sens, and about the same distance north-west of Joigny, in the present-day French département of Loiret (on the border with Yonne), arrondissement Montargis, canton Courtenay.
1. ATHON . Châtelain de Châteaurenard. The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Atho filius cuiusdam Gastellarii de Castro-Rainardo" and adds that he acquired "castrum Cortinaci", married "quondam nobilem dominam" by whom he had "Joscelinum de Cortinaco"[85]. m ---. The name of Athon's wife is not known. Athon & his wife had [two] children: a) JOSCELIN [I] de Courtenay ([1034]-[after 1070/75?]). The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Joscelinum de Cortinaco" as son of "Atho filius cuiusdam Gastellarii de Castro-Rainardo"[86]. Seigneur de Courtenay. - see below. b) [daughter . As the mother of "Adam", her parentage and marriage are suggested by the charter dated to [1116/18] which records that "Robertus Bonet" became a monk at Néronville priory and donated "terram quam habebat a Sed ultra flumen Feure (aliàs Fuhure)" with the consent of "Milo de Curtiniaco et Adam nepos eius, de quorum beneficio erat…Fulco vicecomes [Foulques Vicomte de Château-Landon] de cujus beneficio erat…Garnerius frater Ade et uxor eius Ulgesendis cum filiis suis Herveo et Adam de quorum beneficio erat"[87]. "Adam nepos eius" can be identified as "Adam filius Stephani" who is named in other charters of Néronville dated between [1085] and [1122/42][88], and as Adam de Chailly who was ancestor of later vicomtes de Melun (see PARIS REGION NOBILITY). Presumably based on these data points, Burke’s Peerage shows "Etienne de Courtenay" as the son of Joscelin [I] Seigneur de Courtenay and his first wife, and as the father of "Adam de Chailly"[89]. There are two major difficulties with this supposed parentage proposed by Burke’s. Firstly, if Etienne had been an older son of Joscelin [I], he would have inherited the seigneurie de Courtenay in place of his supposed younger brother Milon de Courtenay. Secondly, as noted above, "Adam filius Stephani" is first named in a document dated to [1085], which places his birth in [1060/65] bearing in mind that he is named in other documents until 1141. This means that he could not have been the grandson of Joscelin [I] de Courtenay. Nevertheless, the [1116/18] charter does indicate a family connection between Adam de Chailly and Milon de Courtenay. The word nepos, notoriously difficult to translate precisely, could mean a relationship more remote than "nephew". One possibility, therefore, is that the relationship was based on a family connection in the previous generation, possibly through an otherwise unrecorded sister of Joscelin [I] de Courtenay who married the father of Adam de Chailly. The presence of the names of Milon de Courtenay and "Adam nepos eius" in the [1116/18] charter could be explained if the property which was the subject of the donation had been part of the dowry of Adam’s mother, and was then held by her son Adam as vassal of the seigneurs de Courtenay of whom Milon was then the senior representative. An alternative possibility is that the relationship between Milon and Adam was through Milon’s mother’s family. In any event, it is possible that Adam de Chailly’s mother was named HERSENDE. This is suggested by the charter dated [1090] which records that "Roscelinus de Monsterollo atque Stephanus filius Heldoini et Hersendis uxor eius…Stephanus filius Goscelini et uxor eius Hersendis" consented to donations of properties to Néronville made by "miles…Dimo"[90]. The question of the identity of these two individuals named Etienne is discussed more fully in the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY in relation to [Hersende]’s husband, although this debate is irrelevant when considering the question of [Hersende]’s name as the wives of both persons (assuming that they were two different individuals) were named Hersende. This possible name of Adam de Chailly’s mother appears corroborated by Burke’s Peerage, in its highly suspect summary of the early generations of the Courtenay family, which names "Hersent de Montereau" as Adam’s mother[91]. As with all data in Burke’s, no information is given on the primary source on which the statement is based. m (before [1060/65]) ETIENNE, son of [HELDUIN] & his wife --- (-after [1090]).]
JOSCELIN [I] de Courtenay, son of ATHON [Châtelain de Châteaurenard] & his wife --- ([1034]-[after 1070/75?]). The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Joscelinum de Cortinaco" as son of "Atho filius cuiusdam Gastellarii de Castro-Rainardo"[92]. Seigneur de Courtenay. No source has been found which indicates his date of death, but as he had at least four children by his second wife he was presumably still living in [1070/75]. m firstly ([1060]) [HILDEGARDE] de Château-Landon, daughter of GEOFFROY [II] "Ferréol" Seigneur de Château-Landon, Comte de Gâtinais & his wife Ermengarde d'Anjou . The Historia of Monk Aimon records the marriage of "Joscelinum de Cortinaco" and "filiam comitis Gaufridi Foerole" by whom he had one daughter, who was mother of two sons "Guidonem et Raynardum Comitem de Johegneio"[93]. The reference to her father, and not to the more illustrious title of her brother, suggests that Hildegarde married before the death of her maternal uncle and her brother’s succession to Anjou. Bouchet names her “Hildegarde” (no source cited) and dates the marriage to “environ l’an 1060”[94]. She is named in Burke’s Peerage , presumably following Bouchet[95]. The name may represent a misinterpretation of a genealogy of the Comtes d'Anjou which names "Fulco (pater) Gosfridus et Ermengardis (mater) Gosfridus (et) Fulco (et) Hildegardis, de altero patre, filia Roberti ducis fratris Henrici regis"[96]. m secondly ([after 1065]) ISABELLE de Montlhéry, daughter of GUY "le Grand" Seigneur de Montlhéry & his wife Hodierne de Gometz-la-Ferté. The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Milonem de Brayo et Guidonem Rubeum, Comitissam quoque Reiteste, et Bonam-vecinam de Pontibus, Elizabeth etiam uxorem Joscelini de Corteciniaco, insuper dominam de Puisat, et dominam de S. Galerico" as the children of "Guidonem" and his wife, stating in a later passage that "Elisabeth filiam Milonis de Monte-Letherico" was the second wife of "Joscelinum de Cortinaco"[97]. It appears chronologically more probable that Isabelle was the daughter of Guy rather than his son Milon, although this is not beyond all doubt. Bouchet records her marriage to “après l’an 1065” (no source cited)[98]. Nun at Saint-Jean de Sens after her husband died: a charter dated 1133 records a donation to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sens by "Milo de Curteno", adding that his widowed mother had become a nun there[99]. William of Tyre specifies that the mother of Joscelin de Courtenay Count of Edessa was the sister of the mother of Baudouin de Bourg, later Baudouin II King of Jerusalem, according to the testimony of her granddaughter concerning the consanguinity between Amaury I King of Jerusalem and his first wife which provided the basis for the annulment of their marriage in 1162[100]. Joscelin [I] & his first wife had one child: 1. [VAINDEMONDE] de Courtenay . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Historia of Monk Aimon, which names "Guidonem et Raynardum Comitem de Johegneio" as the two sons of the daughter of "Joscelinum de Cortinaco" by his wife "filiam comitis Gaufridi Foerole"[101]. She is named Vaindemonde in Europäische Stammtafeln[102], but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. m RENARD [II] Comte de Joigny, son of GEOFFROY Comte de Joigny & his wife ---. Joscelin [I] & his [first/second] wife had [one possible child]: 2. [HODIERNE . Bouchet names “Hodierne...qui estoit desia mariée l’an 1080 avec Geofroy II Comte de Joigny et Sire de Joinville...” as the only daughter of Joscelin [I] by his first wife[103]. The reference to both “Joigny” and “Joinville” suggests that Bouchet was confused between the two places and misinterpreted the reference in the Historia of Monk Aimon cited above under her supposed sister [Vaindemonde]. Hodierne is named as the daughter of Joscelin [I] and his first wife in Burke’s Peerage, and wife of Geoffroy de Joinville, partially following Bouchet[104]. The primary source which confirms that Hodierne, wife of Geoffroy [II] Seigneur de Joinville, was the daughter of Joscelin [I] de Courtenay has not been identified. If she was his daughter, the Historia of Monk Aimon records the mother of Guy and Renard de Joigny (see above) as the only child of Joscelin by his first wife, which suggests that Hodierne may have been born from her father’s second marriage[105], although that suggestion seems chronologically tight if Bouchet has correctly dated Joscelin’s two marriages. Her name, but not her family origin, is confirmed by the following document: "Geoffroy senex sire de Joinville", with the consent of "Geoffroy son fils et de Hodierne sa bru", donated property to the church of Vaucouleurs, by charter dated to [1070/80][106]. m ([1080 or before]) GEOFFROY [II] Seigneur de Joinville, son of GEOFFROY [I] Seigneur de Joinville & his wife Blanche de Reynel (-before 1101).] Joscelin [I] & his second wife had four children: 3. MILON de Courtenay (-after 1138, bur Fontaine-Jean). The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Milonem de Cortiniaco, Joscelinum Comitem Edesse, Gaufridum Chapalii" as the children of "Joscelinum de Cortiaco" and his wife "Elisabeth filiam Milonis de Monte-Letherico"[107]. Seigneur de Courtenay. "Milo de Curtiniaco" confirmed the donation by "Robertus Bonet" to the priory of Néronville of a grange "apud Lanci", with the consent of "Elisabeth uxor Milonis", by charter dated to [1110/16][108]. A charter dated to [1116/18] records that "Robertus Bonet" became a monk at Néronville and donated "terram quam habebat a Sed ultra flumen Feure (aliàs Fuhure)" with the consent of "Milo de Curtiniaco et Adam nepos eius, de quorum beneficio erat…Fulco vicecomes [Foulques Vicomte de Château-Landon] de cujus beneficio erat…Garnerius frater Ade et uxor eius Ulgesendis cum filiis suis Herveo et Adam de quorum beneficio erat"[109]. A charter dated to [1120/39] records donations for the foundation of the abbey of Notre-Dame des Echarlis, including a donation in the presence of "Milo de Curtiniaco et uxor eius Elisabeth et filii eorum Willelmus, Joscelinus, Rainaldus"[110]. A charter dated 1133 records a donation to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sens by "Milo de Curteno", adding that his widowed mother had become a nun there and that “frater eius Rainaudus” was buried there[111]. "Urso Milidunensis vicecomes atque sua uxor" acknowledged that they had no rights in land of Saint-Maur-les-Fossés by charter dated 1085, the same document recording that "vicecomes Adam" claimed these rights of his predecessor "cuius filiam in conjugium habebat" and from whom he inherited the vicomté dated 1138, the latter witnessed by "Matheus de Monmorenci, Milo de Cortenai…"[112]. His burial place is confirmed by the charter dated 1225 under which [his grandson] “Robertus de Curtiniaco” chose burial at Fontaine-Jean, where “dominus Milo Curtiniacensis” was buried[113]. [m firstly ---. This first marriage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[114], but the primary source on which the information is based has not yet been identified.] m [secondly] (before [1110/16]) ELISABETH de Nevers, daughter of RENAUD [II] Comte de Nevers et d'Auxerre & his first wife [Ita Raymonde] de Forez et de Lyon (before 1085-after [1120/39]). The Origine et Historia Brevi Nivernensium Comitum records that the daughter of "Guillelmus…[filios]…Renaldum" and his first wife married "Miloni de Curteniaco"[115]. The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury records that “Milonem de Cortinaco” married “sorore comitis Nivernensis”[116]. "Milo de Curtiniaco" confirmed the donation by "Robertus Bonet" to the priory of Néronville of a grange "apud Lanci", with the consent of "Elisabeth uxor Milonis, videntibus Rainardo comite…", by charter dated to [1110/16][117]. A charter dated to [1120/39] records donations for the foundation of the abbey of Notre-Dame des Echarlis, including a donation in the presence of "Milo de Curtiniaco et uxor eius Elisabeth et filii eorum Willelmus, Joscelinus, Rainaldus"[118]. Milon & his [second] wife had three children: a) GUILLAUME de Courtenay (-[1147/48]). The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Willermum, Ioscelinum et Rainaldum” as the children of “Milonem de Cortinaco” and his wife “sorore comitis Nivernensis”[119]. A charter dated to [1120/39] records donations for the foundation of the abbey of Notre-Dame des Echarlis, including a donation in the presence of "Milo de Curtiniaco et uxor eius Elisabeth et filii eorum Willelmus, Joscelinus, Rainaldus"[120]. Seigneur de Courtenay. The History of Louis VII King of France names "…Willermus de Cortiniaco, Reinaldus de Monteargiso…" among those who accompanied King Louis VII on crusade in 1147[121]. Guillaume may have died during the course of the crusade as no further record is found of him, while his brother Renaud is recorded in France in 1149. b) JOSCELIN de Courtenay (-[before 1148]). The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Willermum, Ioscelinum et Rainaldum” as the children of “Milonem de Cortinaco” and his wife “sorore comitis Nivernensis”[122]. A charter dated to [1120/39] records donations for the foundation of the abbey of Notre-Dame des Echarlis, including a donation in the presence of "Milo de Curtiniaco et uxor eius Elisabeth et filii eorum Willelmus, Joscelinus, Rainaldus"[123]. Joscelin presumably predeceased his brother Guillaume, as their younger brother Renaud is recorded in France (presumably holding the family lands, although this is not stated in the corresponding source) in 1149. c) RENAUD de Courtenay ([1105/20]-[27 Sep 1194]). The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Willermum, Ioscelinum et Rainaldum” as the children of “Milonem de Cortinaco” and his wife “sorore comitis Nivernensis”[124]. Seigneur de Courtenay. - see below. 4. JOSCELIN de Courtenay (-[Aleppo] 1131, before 1 Oct). The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Milonem de Cortiniaco, Joscelinum Comitem Edesse, Gaufridum Chapalii" as the children of "Joscelinum de Cortiaco" and his wife "Elisabeth filiam Milonis de Monte-Letherico"[125]. William of Tyre refers to "Joscelinus de Cortenay vir nobilis de Francia de regione dicitur Gastineis" as "consobrinus" of Baudouin du Bourg Count of Edessa, later Baudouin II King of Jerusalem, when he records his arrival in Edessa in 1102 after being called from France by Baudouin[126]. In a later passage, he specifies that his mother was the sister of Baudouin de Bourg's mother, according to the testimony of her granddaughter concerning the consanguinity between Amaury I King of Jerusalem and his first wife which provided the basis for the annulment of their marriage in 1162[127]. He went to Syria after the First Crusade, maybe during the crusade of 1101. William of Tyre refers to him as "consanguineus" of Count Baudouin when they were both captured the following year[128]. He arrived in Palestine, probably with the contingent led by Guillaume II Comte de Nevers. On his arrival, Baudouin II Count of Edessa enfeoffed him with land west of the Euphrates, with his capital at Turbessel[129]. In Summer 1103, he took part in the raid against the territory of Aleppo led by Bohémond I Prince of Antioch and captured Muslimiye. In 1104, he captured Marash[130]. He was captured with Baudouin II Count of Edessa by Soqman, Ortokid Prince of Mardin, after the battle of Harran in 1104, released in 1107 but exchanged himself with Baudouin Count of Edessa to ensure the latter's release although released again within a few months[131]. Suspected by Count Baudouin of wishing to supplant him as Count of Edessa, he was imprisoned in 1112 and subsequently went southwards where he was enfeoffed as Prince of Galilee by Baudouin I King of Jerusalem[132]. He succeeded in 1118 as JOSCELIN I Count of Edessa, chosen by Baudouin II shortly after he became king of Jerusalem. He was captured by Balak near Saruj Sep 1122 and imprisoned in the fortress of Khartpert. The Frankish prisoners seized control of the fortress Aug 1123, and he escaped to call for support[133]. In 1128, he raided villages in Antioch's territory in reprisal for Bohémond II Prince of Antioch's denunciation of the agreement concerning his second wife's dowry[134]. He died from wounds received in an accident while besieging a small castle north-east of Aleppo[135]. The Histoire Universelle of Vartan le Grand records that "[Josselin le Jeune] seigneur de Hrom-Gla" was captured by Moslems while hunting and taken to Aleppo where he died[136]. 5. GEOFFROY "Charpalu" de Courtenay (-killed in battle Montferrand near Raphania, Tripoli [1137]). The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Milonem de Cortiniaco, Joscelinum Comitem Edesse, Gaufridum Chapalii" as the children of "Joscelinum de Cortiaco" and his wife "Elisabeth filiam Milonis de Monte-Letherico"[137]. William of Tyre records the siege and capture of “in finibus Tripolitanus supra civitate Raphaniam in monte situm præsidium...Mons-Ferrandus”, during the course of which “Gaufridus Charpalu, domini Joscelini senioris Edessani comitis frater” was killed, dated to 1137[138]. 6. RENAUD de Courtenay (-before 1133, bur Sens Saint-Jean). A charter dated 1133 records a donation to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sens by "Milo de Curteno", adding that his widowed mother had become a nun there and that “frater eius Rainaudus” was buried there[139].
The most difficult problem associated with Renaud de Courtenay, shown below, is deciding whether Renaud Seigneur de Courtenay, son of Milon Seigneur de Courtenay, who is recorded in French sources until 1149 (“French Renaud”) was the same person as Renaud de Courtenay who is recorded in England between [1160/61] and 1194 (“English Renaud”). Several factors favour this co-identity: · Similar ages. The birth of French Renaud’s mother can be dated to a few years before 1085, when her own mother is named with her presumed second husband or, if that second marriage is incorrect (the possibility of which is discussed further in BURGUNDY DUCHY NOBILITY-NEVERS), when she must have been deceased. French Renaud was her third known son, therefore was probably born in [1105/20]. The birth of French Renaud’s daughter Elisabeth, dated to [1140/45], suggests that he was probably born in the later part of that range. The birth of Guillaume, first son of English Renaud, can also be dated to [1140/45] which suggests that his father was probably born around the same time as French Renaud. English Renaud’s death is dated to 1194 which, if the suggested birth date ranges are correct, would not be inconsistent with the birth of French Renaud in, say, [1112/20]. · No overlap. French Renaud is last recorded in France in 1149. English Renaud is first recorded in England in [1160/61]. The chronology of the births of the children of French Renaud and English Renaud also appears to match, especially considering that one source states that English Renaud’s first son Guillaume was born to his father’s first wife who, from a chronological point of view, could have been the same person as French Renaud’s known wife. A potential difficulty with this argument is an apparent reference to French Renaud’s wife in 1155, although this mention has not been verified as correct. · No other obvious parentage for English Renaud. No reference to the Courtenay family in England has been found before [1160/61], for example in the 1129 Pipe Roll and or in the charters of Kings Henry I and Stephen which are reproduced in the Regesta Regum Anglorum series. It is a safe assumption that English Renaud arrived in England from France shortly before [1160/61] and that he was related to the French Courtenay family. From a chronological point of view, English Renaud could have been the son of one of Milon de Courtenay’s younger brothers. The eldest known brother Joscelin can probably be dismissed, as his known descendants are described fully in crusader sources. Of the other two known brothers, no record has been found of their having married and having had children. · English Renaud’s daughter. She is named “filie Regin de Crtinni” in London/Middlesex in the [1166/67] Pipe Roll, when she must have been of age. No reference has been found to her marriage or descendants, or indeed to any other daughter of English Renaud. It is possible that she was the same person as Elisabeth, daughter of French Renaud and married to Pierre de France, who held some interest in England at that time through her father. · “Guillaume de Courtenay” in France in 1160. “Willelmus de Cortiniaco...”, signing first in the subscription list, witnessed the charter dated 24 Nov 1160 under which “Petrus dominus Curtiniaci et uxor mea Elisabeth” confirmed donations made by “antecessorum nostrorum...dominus Milo et filii eius” to Fontaine-Jean abbey[140]. It is unlikely that the witness was Guillaume de Courtenay, older brother of Milon de Courtenay, who most likely died during the 1147 Second Crusade. In addition, the body of the document refers to “dominus Milo et filii eius”: if the witness had been one of Milon’s sons, the fact would probably have been mentioned. The only other known Guillaume de Courtenay at the time was the oldest son of English Renaud, whose existence is confirmed (as well as his death before that date) by the 1194 Pipe Roll entry which is quoted below. If Guillaume, son of English Renaud, was born during the early part of the date range [1140/45] (see above), he would recently have come of age in 1160. If his father was French Renaud, he would have been the senior male representative of the previous Courtenay dynasty apart from French Renaud himself (assuming, for this part of the discussion, that he was still alive). In that case, the donors may have considered it prudent to involve him in the confirmation to avoid future challenges. Guillaume de Courtenay is named in a second charter: “Petrus de Curtiniaco frater regis” confirmed donations made to Fontaine-Jean abbey by “Guillelmus de Curtiniaco” on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of “uxoris mei Elisabeth”, by undated charter[141]. Again, it is unlikely that this document refers to Milon’s son Guillaume, who is known to have left for Jerusalem on the Second Crusade, as ex post facto confirmation of his donations at that time would have been unnecessary especially as the 1160 document confirmed all donations which he would have made (“dominus Milo et filii eius”). If that is correct, it is likely that the donor Guillaume was the same person who witnessed the 1160 charter and therefore also possibly the son of English Renaud. · English Renaud’s status in England. English Renaud and his family are recorded with landholdings in Buckinghamshire/Bedfordshire, Kent, Devon, Dorset/Somerset, and Northamptonshire, as well as Sutton in Berkshire, in Pipe Rolls during the reign of King Henry II. English Renaud is also recorded as the guardian of the minor Walter de Bolebec in the 1160s. The wives of his sons Guillaume and Robert belonged to prominent families. All these factors indicate that English Renaud held a certain amount of status in the land-holding class in England, consistent with a prominent family origin. · The alleged confiscation of French Renaud’s assets in France. Modern secondary sources state that French Renaud quarrelled with the French king who confiscated his assets and awarded them to his brother Pierre de France on marrying French Renaud’s daughter Elisabeth. They also state that French Renaud left for England where he was granted Sutton in Berkshire by King Henry II. No primary sources have been identified which confirm all these statements. Documents dated to 1149 confirm a dispute between French Renaud and the French king. The delay before English Renaud’s first appearance in [1160/61] suggests that this may not have been the dispute which triggered the supposed confiscation, if the story is true. Taken with all the other indications, a serious dispute followed by confiscation provides the best explanation for the changes in fortune of the Courtenay family in the mid-12th century, even though there is no proof. Some factors which do not support the supposed co-identity are: · The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury. This source records that Pierre de France received the lands of [French] Renaud on marrying his daughter, adding that “quia non erat alius hæres superstes” (“as there was no other surviving heir”)[142]. The Continuator does not state explicitly that French Renaud had died, although this seems to be implied by the wording of the relevant paragraph. The story told by the Continuator appears straightforward, with no hint of a dispute or of confiscation of property, until the other factors listed above are considered. If the Continuator can be dated to [1200], it is possible that the existence of French Renaud’s disinherited sons may have been long forgotten by then, especially if they had settled in England and cut ties with France. · Onomastics. The names Milon and Joscelin, typical of the French Courtenay family, are not found among English Renaud’s known descendants, although the existence of only a limited number of his descendants can be confirmed by primary source material. · The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey. This source names “domini Flori filii regis Franciæ Lodovici cognomento Grossi” as the father of English Renaud[143]. There is no record of the existence of such a person and, assuming that “filii” was an error for “fratris”, no other evidence that Fleuri, son of Philippe I King of France (see FRANCE CAPETIAN KINGS), had any connection with the Courtenay family. The Historia includes many pieces of information which are disproved by other primary sources or are otherwise unreliable. On balance, taking all these factors into consideration, the existence of a single Renaud de Courtenay, to whom all the sources quoted below refer, seems likely. It also results in a reconstruction of his family which is consistent with all sources so far identified and appears to be credible as shown below.
RENAUD de Courtenay, son of MILON Seigneur de Courtenay & his [second] wife Elisabeth de Nevers ([1105/20]-[27 Sep 1194]). The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Willermum, Ioscelinum et Rainaldum” as the children of “Milonem de Cortinaco” and his wife “sorore comitis Nivernensis”[144]. A charter dated to [1120/39] records donations for the foundation of the abbey of Notre-Dame des Echarlis, including a donation in the presence of "Milo de Curtiniaco et uxor eius Elisabeth et filii eorum Willelmus, Joscelinus, Rainaldus"[145]. Seigneur de Montargis: the History of Louis VII King of France names "…Willermus de Cortiniaco, Reinaldus de Monteargiso…" among those who accompanied King Louis VII on crusade in 1147[146]. Renaud is recorded in France in 1149 (see below), so presumably he returned from the crusade before the king, maybe to claim his family’s lands if his older brother Guillaume died overseas as suggested above. Seigneur de Courtenay, de Montargis, de Châteaurenard, de Champignelles, de Tanlay, de Charny, et de Chante-cocq[147]. Thibaut Comte de Blois wrote two letters to Suger informing him that “Raginaldus de Cortiniaco” had taken money from the king’s merchants, requested his support in avenging the outrage, and offered his help in case an army was sent against Renaud[148]. The letters are undated, but Lecoy de la Marche dates them to 1149, presumably because of the king’s continuing absence on crusade during which time Suger exercised the government of the realm[149]. Burke’s Peerage states that Louis VII King of France quarrelled with Renaud while on the Second Crusade, confiscated his French possessions, and bestowed them on his younger brother Pierre whom he married to Renaud’s daughter Elisabeth[150]. It has not been possible to trace primary sources which justify all these statements. As discussed in more detail in the introduction to the present section, the story of a quarrel and confiscation does provide the best explanation for the changes which occurred in the Courtenay family. No further primary source has been identified which names Renaud in France after 1149. Burkes’s Peerage records that Henry II King of England granted the lordship of Sutton, Berkshire to “Renaud de Courtenay” in 1161[151]. This statement is confirmed by the 1160/61 Pipe Roll which names "Regin de Curtenai…in Sutton" in Berkshire[152] (Renaud is not named in Sutton in the Pipe Roll for 1159/60[153]) and by a later document in the Testa de Nevill: a writ of King John dated 1212 records that "Robertus de Curtenay" held "terre in Sutton" in Berkshire which King Henry II had granted to "Reginaldo de Curtenay avo suo"[154]. The question of the probable co-identity of “French Renaud” and “English Renaud” is discussed in the introduction to this section dealing with Renaud and his family. Renaud is listed in Sutton, Berkshire in each of the later Pipe Rolls between [1161/62] and [1189/90][155]. The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records “filie Regin de Crtinni” in London/Middlesex[156]. The 1167/68 Pipe Roll records Renaud de Courtenay in Buckinghamshire/Bedfordshire (“Hildestona...Wottesdona”), in the same counties owing for “mil. Walti de Bolebec qui est in custodia eius”, in Essex/Hertfordshire, in Kent “de feod Walti de Bolebek”, and in Sutton in Berkshire[157]. Renaud is listed in Pipe Rolls in 1168/69, 1169/70, 1170/71, 1175/76 in Buckinghamshire/Bedfordshire, in 1168/69 in Cambridgeshire/Huntingdonshire, and from 1175/76 in Devon and Dorset/Somerset. In addition, Renaud’s son Robert is named from 1174/75 in Pipe Rolls in Northamptonshire. "…Raginaldo de Cortenaio" subscribed the charter dated to [1169] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the donation of revenue from "manerio de Contona" [Compton, Devon] to Fontevraud by "Willelmus de Sancto Johanne et Robertus frater suus"[158]. The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey records the death “V Kal Oct 1194” of “Reginaldus de Courtenay”[159]. Although this is not always a reliable source, corroboration for the date is provided by the 1194 Pipe Roll which records the fine made by Renaud’s presumed son "Robertus de Curtenay" to hold Sutton in Berkshire "pro habendo manerio suo in pace quod dominus R pater dedit patri suo salvo iure heredum Willelmi primogeniti fratris sui"[160]. m firstly ([1135/40]) [HELVISE], daughter of [FERRY de Donjon & his [first] wife ---] ([1120/25]-[after 1155?]). The identification of the family origin of the wife of “French Renaud” appears to be based only on the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, which records that "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=Guilelmus…archiepiscopus Bituricensis]" and names her as the wife of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo"[161], assuming for the moment that “neptis” described the relationship not “soror”. Guillaume Archbishop of Bourges is often referred to in secondary sources as "Guillaume de Donjon", although this name is not used in his Vita[162], but he may have belonged to the Berruier family: La Saussaye, in his early 17th century work on the bishops of Orléans names "Geraldus Berruyerius, frater beati Gulielmi Bituricensis archiepiscopi" as the father of Philippe Berruier who was bishop of Orléans from 1221 to 1236, citing “Historia Ecclesiæ Bituricensis” (a work which has not been identified)[163]. The primary source which confirms beyond doubt that the archbishop was the full brother of Gérard Berruier has not yet been identified. Bouchet says that “on apprend de quelques chartes que [Renaud] épousa la sœur de Guy du Donjon”, but he does not cite the charters in question although he says in a later passage that she “vivoit l’an 1148 et 1155”, presumably indicating the dates of two of the charters[164]. The Scripta de Feodis records the holdings of “domini Guidonis et Petri de Donjone fratrum beati Guillermi Bituricensis quondam archiepiscopi” and their holdings”[165], clearly showing that the archbishop was the brother of Guy and Pierre de Donjon. Reading all these documents together, we can identify a list of brothers and sisters: [Hawise] wife of Renaud de Courtenay (born [1120/25]), Guy de Donjon, Pierre de Donjon (born [1145/50]), Guillaume Archbishop of Bourges, Gérard Berruier. Clearly the chronology dictates that all five could not have shared the same mother and father. The suggested explanation is that Ferry [I] de Donjon (see PARIS REGION NOBILITY) was the father of Renaud de Courtenay’s wife by a first marriage, and the father of Guy and Pierre de Donjon by a second marriage; after he died (date maybe estimated to after 1174), his widow married secondly the father of Gerard Berruier. The precise identification of the father of Archbishop Guillaume (Ferry [I] de Donjon or --- Berruier?) is not necessary for the purposes of this explanation. A continuing close family connection between the Donjon and Courtenay families is indicated by (among other documents) the charter dated Nov 1217 under which “Gui du Donjon chevalier” guaranteed the loyalty of “Robert de Courtenai” to the king[166]. French Renaud’s wife is named “Helvise” in Europäische Stammtafeln[167], but the primary source on which this name is based has not yet been identified. A different origin of the wife of Renaud de Courtenay is suggested by Kerrebrouck who names her “Moenée d’Arthel”, citing an article by Estournet[168]. The only reference so far found to this person is Gallia Christiana which states that [Guillaume Archbishop of Bourges, who is referred to above] “Guillelmus Archesiis vico Nivernensis pagi natus ex illustri genere” had “matrem...Maeniam” who had “frater Guillelmus archidiaconus Suessionensis...dictus...Eremita” who educated him[169]. Gallia cites no primary source on which its statements are based. Arthel is a small commune situated in canton Prémery, arrondissement Cosne-Cours.sur-Loire, in the present-day département of Nièvre. No other contemporary reference to a family “d’Arthel” has been found. The explanation for “d’Arthel” in relation to Moenée is probably provided by references to “Saint Guillaume d’Arthel” being born at Arthel (these can be found in various websites relating to the commune[170]). These references provide no help in identifying this saint, but he was probably the same person as Archbishop Guillaume. The same section of Gallia Christiana also states that “Guillelmus de Donjeon ex comitibus Nivernensis oriundus, Mathildis comitissæ Nivernensis dominæ Donziaci avunculus (forte patruus)” [also identified as Archbishop Guillaume] had “fratrem...Baldudinum de Hiere” who donated property to “Sacro-Portui seu Barbello Cisterciensis ordinis...monasterio” when leaving for Jerusalem with the consent of “A. uxore et I & Ferrico filiis”, and also “duos alios...fratres...ex reg. cameræ computorum Paris. Guidonem et Petrum de Dijon (Donjeon)”, also without citing primary sources[171]. “Balduinum de Hiere” is identified as Baudouin de Dijon (“Hiere” has not yet been identified, maybe Yerre), first husband of Amicie de Breteuil, and therefore presumably the oldest son of Ferry [I] de Dijon. The references to Guy and Pierre de Donjon lead us back to the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, which as noted above records that "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=Guilelmus…archiepiscopus Bituricensis]" and names her as the wife of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo"[172]. The argument in favour of “Moenée” is presumably based on choosing “soror” as the correct relationship in this passage, rather than “neptis”. From a chronological point of view, the “soror” case is more difficult to sustain than the “neptis”. The birth of Elisabeth de Courtenay (Alberic’s “domina de Monte-Argisi”) is estimated to [1140/45]. As noted above, the birth of Pierre de Donjon (who, based on the “soror” argument would also have been the brother of Elisabeth de Courtenay) is estimated to [1145/50]: he is named with his wife and five children in 1179, which renders any later birth unlikely. However, Elisabeth’s father Renaud de Courtenay was clearly alive between 1140 and 1149 and probably married to Elisabeth’s mother throughout that period. A second marriage of her mother to Ferry [I] de Dijon is therefore improbable. Could Elisabeth’s mother have been the first wife of Ferry [I]? That possibility also appears unlikely as pushing Pierre de Donjon’s birth back to [1135/40] appears unlikely to be correct as he is named in a source dated Feb 1226. It would also require stretching Moenée’ s child-bearing period beyond normal limits if the later Berruier birth is taken into account. The “soror” argument as an interpretation of Alberic’s passage falls apart completely if French Renaud was the same person as English Renaud, considering the Berruier marriage, but this line of reasoning only leads us back to the French Renaud/English Renaud discussion. m secondly ([1150/55]) HAWISE d’Avranches, daughter of ROBERT d’Avranches & his wife Mathilde Avenill ([after 1132]-1 Aug 1209). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey records that “domina Alicia uxor domini Randolphi Avenell filia sua…unicam filiam…Matildam” had “filiam unam…Hawisiam, necnon duas alias, postea factas moniales” by her husband “Roberto de Abrincis” and that she married “Reginaldo de Courtenay” as “uxor eius secunda”[173]. Hawise must have been born after 1132 at the earliest as her father is recorded in [1129/30] with his first wife. The identification of the husband of Hawise as “French Renaud” assumes that he was the same person as “English Renaud” (see above for a discussion of this question). The suggested date of her marriage is based on the approximate marriage date of her son Robert in [1174/75]. According to Burke’s Peerage, the second wife of Renaud de Courtenay was "Maud Dame du Sap, daughter of Robert FitzRoy by his w Maud d’Avranches"[174]. However, this appears to confuse her with the wife of Guillaume de Courtenay, eldest son of Renaud by his first marriage (see below), assuming that the primary sources quoted below correctly record the relationships which are shown here. Renaud & his first wife had four children: 1. ELISABETH de Courtenay ([1140/45]-14 Sep after 1205). The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Willermum, Ioscelinum et Rainaldum” as the children of “Milonem de Cortinaco” and his wife “sorore comitis Nivernensis”, adding that “Rainaudus” was father of “uxorem Petri fratris domini regis et uxorem Avalonis de Seleniaco”[175]. A Historia Regum Francorum records that "Petrus", son of Louis VI King of France, married "filiam Rainaldi de Curtiniaco cum…terra illius"[176]. The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Petrus” as sixth son of “rex Ludovicus” and his wife “Adalaidem filiam Humberti comitis de Mauriana”, adding that he married “filiam Rainaldi de Corteniaco” and had his land as there was no other surviving heir (“et terram ipsius habuit cum ea, quia non erat alius hæres superstes”)[177]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=Guilelmus…archiepiscopus Bituricensis]" as the wife of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo", "Monte-Argisi" being identified as "Montargis, département Loiret" by the editor of the MGH edition[178]. Her birth date range, estimated from the possible dates of her marriage and births of her children, suggests that she must have been one of her parents’ older children. Dame de Courtenay. “Petrus dominus Curtiniaci et uxor mea Elisabeth” confirmed donations made by “antecessorum nostrorum...dominus Milo et filii eius” to Fontaine-Jean abbey by charter dated 24 Nov 1160, witnessed by “Willelmus de Cortiniaco...”[179]. The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records “filie Regin de Crtinni” in London/Middlesex[180]. As discussed above in the introduction to the present section, it is possible that this entry relates to Elisabeth. "Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus" donated property to the abbey of Fontaine-Jean by charter dated 1170, with the support of "uxor mea Isabel et primogenitus meus Petrus"[181]. The necrology of the Eglise Cathédrale de Paris records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "Helysabeth mater Petri comitis Autisiodorensis"[182]. m (before 24 Nov 1160) PIERRE de France, son of LOUIS VI King of France & his wife Adélaïde de Maurienne ([1126]-Palestine 10 Mar [1180/10 Apr 1183]). He succeeded as Seigneur de Courtenay, de Montargis, de Châteaurenard, de Champignelles, de Tanlay, de Charny et de Charenton, by right of his wife. - SEIGNEURS de COURTENAY (CAPET). 2. ADELINE de Courtenay ([1142/48?]-after 1190). The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names “Willermum, Ioscelinum et Rainaldum” as the children of “Milonem de Cortinaco” and his wife “sorore comitis Nivernensis”, adding that “Rainaudus” was father of “uxorem Petri fratris domini regis et uxorem Avalonis de Seleniaco”[183]. “Guido...Senonensis archiepiscopus” notified that “filius et nepos noster Augalo dominus de Siliniaco” had donated “aquam suam de fluvio Hermançon [Armançon]...a ponte de Neiseles [Natiaux] usque ad aquam nostram” to Pontigny with the consent of “Ha--- uxor ipsius Augalonis et eorum filii Daimbertus, Rainaudus, Ferricus et Petrus”, by charter dated to [17 Apr 1188/24 Mar 1189][184]. “Agalo dominus Siliniaci”, with the consent of “uxor mea Adelina et filii mei Daimbertus et Fredericus”, consented to the donation made to Pontigny by “Daimbertus de Briennone...uxor...eius”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1189/24 Mar 1190][185]. “Awalo de Sellenniaco”, with the support of “Adelina uxor mea...liberique mei Daimbertus et Ferricus”, confirmed that “Stephanus de Briva, cognatus meus, Jherusalem profecturus” donated “molendinum...apud Basso...” to Saint-Marien by charter dated 1190[186]. m AVALON [III] Seigneur de Seignelay, son of DAIMBERT [I] Seigneur de Seignelay & his wife Alpazia --- ([1140/45?]-[1200]). 3. GUILLAUME de Courtenay ([1140/45]-after [1167/68], maybe before 1170). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey names “Reginaldo de Courtenay…filio suo Willielmo de Courtenay de priore conjuge in Normannia primogenito” when recording his marriage[187]. Although parts of the Historia are unreliable and inconsistent with information in other primary sources, the chronology of Guillaume’s life suggests that he was born in the early 1140s and that therefore he could have been the son of Renaud, son of Milon, by his first marriage. As noted in the introduction to the present section, some doubt about whether Renaud had surviving sons is introduced by the Continuator of Aimon of Fleury which records that Pierre, son of Louis VI King of France, received the lands of Renaud de Courtenay on his marriage to his daughter, adding that “quia non erat alius hæres superstes” (“as there was no other surviving heir”)[188], although if dated to [1200] it is possible that the existence of sons may have been long forgotten by then especially if they had settled in England and lost ties with France. [“Willelmus de Cortiniaco...”, signing first in the subscription list, witnessed the charter dated 24 Nov 1160 under which “Petrus dominus Curtiniaci et uxor mea Elisabeth” confirmed donations made by “antecessorum nostrorum...dominus Milo et filii eius” to Fontaine-Jean abbey[189]. As discussed in the introduction to the present section, it is possible that the witness was the son of “English Renaud”.] The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Willelmus de Cortenay xvi l x d de honore patris sui et lvi s pro iv militibus et iv parte" in Dorset, Somerset in [1167/68][190]. [Guillaume may have left for Jerusalem, possibly dated to [1167/70]: “Petrus de Curtiniaco frater regis” confirmed the donation of “quadraginta solidos” annually made to Fontaine-Jean abbey for lighting a candle by “Guillelmus de Curtiniaco” on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of “uxoris mei Elisabeth”, by undated charter[191]. The donor Guillaume has not been identified beyond doubt but, as in the case of the 1160 charter quoted above, it is possible that he was Guillaume son of English Renaud. If that is correct, it is possible that Guillaume retained some interests in France after his father’s possible disgrace or that he was granted property by his supposed brother-in-law Pierre. Guillaume may have died during his journey as no further reference to him has been found: the wording of the document would be consistent with the confirmation being made after Guillaume had died, although the text does not specify that he was deceased. Guillaume de Courtenay is not named in the charter of Pierre de Courtenay dated 1170 (see below), suggesting that he died before that date.] The 1194 Pipe Roll records "Robertus de Curtenay" in Berkshire "pro habendo manerio suo in pace quod dominus R pater dedit patri suo salvo iure heredum Willelmi primogeniti fratris sui"[192], demonstrating that Guillaume de Courtenay was his father’s oldest son, was deceased at the date of the entry, and that he had left surviving heirs. m MATILDA, daughter of ROBERT FitzEdith [illegitimate son of Henry I King of England] & his [second] wife Mathilde d’Avranches (-1224). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey names “Matildam” as the daughter of “Roberto filio regis Henrici primi notho”, adding that she married “Reginaldo de Courtenay…filio suo Willielmo de Courtenay de priore conjuge in Normannia primogenito”[193]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1222, by "Matillis de Curteney" (1) against "Robertum de Curtenay" concerning "manerium de Ocumptona", which records that "Robertus" claimed that the land was "hereditas Matillidis de Aueregnes" who had "duas filias…Hawisiam matrem suam primogenitam […filia Gaufridi de Crimes primi viri Matillidis de Auerenches] et…Matillidem", the claimant Matilda replying that she had the land in question "ex dono Roberti filii Regis patris eiusdem Matillidis et secundi viri predicte Matillidis de Auerenches", and (2) against "Reginaldum de Curtenay" concerning "manerium de Chaunelega"[194]. Guillaume & his wife had [---] children: a) children (-[after 1194]). The 1194 Pipe Roll records "Robertus de Curtenay" in Berkshire "pro habendo manerio suo in pace quod dominus R pater dedit patri suo salvo iure heredum Willelmi primogeniti fratris sui"[195], demonstrating that Guillaume de Courtenay did leave surviving heirs, although it is not known whether in 1194 they were his children or grandchildren. It is possible that Renaud, named below, was one of these heirs. b) [RENAUD de Courtenay (-after [1184/1204]). "…Reginaldo de Curtenai filio Willelmi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1184/1204] under which "Gilbertus Basset et Egelina uxor sua" donated land in Waddesdon and Westcott, Buckinghamshire, to Bicester priory[196]. No other Guillaume has been identified of the right age who could have been the father of Renaud who witnessed this charter. This Renaud could not have been the same person as [Renaud] de Courtenay, father of Robert ancestor of the earls of Devon (who is shown next), assuming that the 1212 writ and other extracts quoted below correctly describes the relationships in the Courtenay family.] 4. [RENAUD] de Courtenay (-[1194]). His parentage is confirmed by the Testa de Nevill which states that the father of Robert de Courtenay was the son of Renaud de Courtenay: a writ of King John dated 1212 records that "Robertus de Curtenay" held "terre in Sutton" in Berkshire which King Henry II had granted to "Reginaldo de Curtenay avo suo"[197]. This person is called Renaud in secondary sources, but the primary source which confirms his name has not yet been identified. The chronology, as well as the details included in Bracton relating to the claims which name his wife, suggests that the father of Robert de Courtenay, ancestor of the earls of Devon, could not have been the same person as Guillaume, son of Renaud de Courtenay, who is named above. It is also unlikely that he was the same person as Renaud [son of Guillaume], assuming that the family relationships are correctly described in the 1212 writ quoted above. If these assumptions are correct, it is surprising that the heirs of [Renaud] were not mentioned, along with the heirs of Guillaume, in the 1194 Pipe Roll entry which records the entry into possession of Sutton by his [half-]brother Robert. [Renaud] presumably predeceased his father and his half-brother Robert. m (1178 or before) HAWISE Lady of Okehampton, daughter of [GEOFFROY de Crimes/GUILLAUME de Curcy] & his wife Mathilde d'Avranches (-31 Jul 1219). Two versions of her parentage are recorded. Bracton records a claim, dated 1222, by "Matillis de Curteney" against "Robertum de Curtenay" concerning "manerium de Ocumptona", which records that "Robertus" claimed that the land was "hereditas Matillidis de Aueregnes" who had "duas filias…Hawisiam matrem suam primogenitam […filia Gaufridi de Crimes primi viri Matillidis de Auerenches] et…Matillidem"[198]. However, another claim recorded by Bracton, also dated 1222, by "Matillis de Curtenay" against "Robertum de Curtenay" concerning "manerium de Chamelegha" states that "Robertus filius Regis…Matillidem de Auerenches uxorem suam" held the land which was inherited by "Hawisie filie sui matri eiusdem Roberti de Curtenay que fuit filia Willelmi de Curcy viri eiusdem Matillidis"[199]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hawisa de Curtenay" holding three knights’ fees in Devonshire in [1210/12][200]. The sheriff of Devon was ordered "to take into the king’s hand…lands…formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, who is dead as the king has heard", dated 14 Aug 1219[201]. Inquisitions after a writ dated 11 May "2 Edw I" following the death of [her grandson] "John de Corteney alias de Curtenay" record that “Hawis de Curtenay gave to [Forde abbey]...land of Hargrave...and Robert de Curtenay her son and heir confirmed the gift”[202]. Renaud & his wife had one child: a) ROBERT de Courtenay (-26 Jul 1242, bur Forde Abbey, Devon). The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Robertus de Curtenay" held "terre in Sutton" in Berkshire which King Henry II had granted to "Reginaldo de Curtenay avo suo"[203]. The 1194 Pipe Roll quoted below indicates that Sutton passed to Robert de Courtenay, son of Renaud de Courtenay by his second marriage, on the death of his father. Robert, son of [Renaud], son of Renaud, may have been by-passed because of his young age, but would have inherited Sutton after the death of his uncle (or of his uncle’s son William, assuming that the latter survived his father). “Gui du Donjon chevalier” guaranteed the loyalty of “Robert de Courtenai” to the king by charter dated Nov 1217[204]. Renaud & his second wife had [three] children: 5. ROBERT de Courtenay ([1150/55]-[1207/09]). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey names “Robertum…de Courtnay” as son of “Reginaldo de Courtenay” and “vicecomitissa domina Hawisia uxore sua” [described earlier in the same paragraph as his father’s second wife], although the source then conflates him with his nephew Robert de Courtenay, ancestor of the earls of Devon (see above), by stating that “dictus Robertus de Courtnay dictorum Reginaldi et Hawisiæ filius et hæres legitimus” obtained “totum honorem de Okehampton jure hæreditario...castellum Exoniæ...totius comitatus Devoniæ”[205]. The 1174/75 Pipe Roll records “Robto de Curtenai” in the fee of “Regin fil Ursi” (father of his first wife, which helps to date their marriage) in Northamptonshire[206]. He succeeded his father as Lord of Sutton, Berkshire. Robert de Courtenay is also named in Essex/Hertfordshire in the 1176/77 Pipe Roll, and in Northamptonshire in the 1177/78, 1180/81 and 1186/87 Pipe Rolls[207]. The 1194 Pipe Roll records "Robertus de Curtenay" in Northamptonshire, and in Berkshire "pro habendo manerio suo in pace quod dominus R pater dedit patri suo salvo iure heredum Willelmi primogeniti fratris sui"[208]. Sheriff of Cumberland. The Feet of Fines records the judgment dated 8 Dec 1195 in a claim by "Walterus Pipard" against "Rob de Curtenai…loco Alic de Rumilie ux sue" concerning land "in Croumse"[209]. "Robertus de Curtenei" donated revenue from "molendino…de Kokermuth" to St Bees, with the advice of "uxoris mee Aaliz de Rumeleie", to St Bees by undated charter, witnessed by "…Willelmo de Curtenei…"[210]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1231, by "Johannes de Neovilla" against "Willelmum priorem de Cuwyc" for "ecclesiam de Alfinctona…aduocacionem", the defendant stating that "Hawisia de Curtenay…matris ipsius Roberti" granted the advocacy of the church to "Henricum de Curtenay […quondam] in ligia viduitate sua" who donated it to "ecclesie de Cuwyk", while the claimant stated that "Robertus de Curtenay quondam dominus feodi illius" gave "manerium de Alfinctona in maritagium cum filia sua ipsi Johanni" and that he gave it to "Johannem de Curtenay" who relinquished it[211]. m firstly ([1174/75] or before) MATILDA, daughter of REYNOLD FitzUrse of Bulwick & his wife Beatrice de Limesay. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a claim dated 1220, recorded by Bracton, by "Vitalis Engaun et Rogerus Gernet" against "Willelmum de Cantelupo et Maziliam uxorem eius" which recites that "Ricardus filius Ursy antecessor eorum" had "unum filium…Reginaldum et duas filias Margeriam et Mabiliam", that Reynold had "unam filiam…Matillidem…[qui] habuit unum filium Willelmum de Curtenay qui obiit…tempore Regis J…sine herede corpore suo"[212]. The 1174/75 Pipe Roll records “Robto de Curtenai” in the fee of “Regin fil Ursi” (father of his first wife, which helps to date their marriage) in Northamptonshire[213]. m secondly (before 8 Dec 1195) as her second husband, ALICE FitzDuncan Lady of Cockermouth and Allerdale, widow of GILBERT Pipard Sheriff of Gloucester and Hereford, daughter of WILLIAM FitzDuncan [of Scotland] & his second wife Alice de Rumilly (before [1153/54][214]-[6 Mar or 18 Mar] [1212/1215], bur [Gisburne Priory]). The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “prima…Cecilia…secunda Amabilla…tertia Alicia” as the three daughters of “Willielmus”, son of “Doncani comes de Murrayse”, and his wife Alice, adding that Alice received “Aspatrike, et baronia de Allerdale et libertate de Cokermouth” and married “Gilberto Pipard” and secondly “Roberto de Courtenay”, but died childless[215]. Co-heiress of her brother. The Feet of Fines records the judgment dated 8 Dec 1195 in a claim by "Walterus Pipard" against "Rob de Curtenai…loco Alic de Rumilie ux sue" concerning land "in Croumse"[216]. "Robertus de Curtenei" donated revenue from "molendino…de Kokermuth" to St Bees, with the advice of "uxoris mee Aaliz de Rumeleie", to St Bees by undated charter, witnessed by "…Willelmo de Curtenei…"[217]. “Alicia de Rumely, filia Willielmi filii Duncani” donated property to Gysburn Priory, for the souls of “maritorum meorum Gilberti Pypard et Roberti de Curtenay”, by undated charter[218]. The obituary of Gisburne priory records the death “II Non Mar” of "Aliciæ de Rumley"[219]. Robert & his first wife had two children: a) WILLIAM de Courtenay (-18 Jan before [1212]). "Robertus de Curtenei" donated revenue from "molendino…de Kokermuth" to St Bees, with the advice of "uxoris mee Aaliz de Rumeleie", to St Bees by undated charter, witnessed by "…Willelmo de Curtenei…"[220]. His parentage is confirmed by a claim dated 1220, recorded by Bracton, by "Vitalis Engaun et Rogerus Gernet" against "Willelmum de Cantelupo et Maziliam uxorem eius" which recites that "Ricardus filius Ursy antecessor eorum" had "unum filium…Reginaldum et duas filias Margeriam et Mabiliam", that Reynold had "unam filiam…Matillidem…[qui] habuit unum filium Willelmum de Curtenay qui obiit…tempore Regis J…sine herede corpore suo"[221]. Of Bulwick, Upminster and Morle. Lord of Montgommery 30 Jun 1207. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Willelmus de Curtenay" holding one and one half knights’ fees in Northamptonshire in [1210/12][222]. m as her first husband, ADA de Dunbar, daughter of PATRICK Earl of Dunbar & his first wife Ada of Scotland. "P. comes de Dunbar et P. filius eius" donated property which "Willo de Curteneya et A. uxori ei teneant…de Home" to Kelso monastery by charter dated to [1200][223]. She married secondly Theobald de Lascelles. Bracton records a claim, dated 1220, by "Theobaldus de Lasceles…et Ada uxore eius" against "Willelmum de Cantelupo" for "terre…in Bulewico" which was "dotem ipsius Ade unde Willelmus de Curtenay quondam vir suus"[224]. "Ada de Curtenay filia Patricis comitis de Dumbar" donated property "in territorio de Home" to Kelso monastery, for the souls of "maritorum meorum", by charter dated to [1230][225]. [She is alleged to have married thirdly William FitzPatrick "of Greenland", but as pointed out in the document SCOTTISH NOBILITY, this supposed third marriage is dubious.] b) daughter . Bracton records a claim, dated 1231, by "Johannes de Neovilla" against "Willelmum priorem de Cuwyc" for "ecclesiam de Alfinctona…aduocacionem", the defendant stating that "Hawisia de Curtenay…matris ipsius Roberti" granted the advocacy of the church to "Henricum de Curtenay […quondam] in ligia viduitate sua" who donated it to "ecclesie de Cuwyk", while the claimant stated that "Robertus de Curtenay quondam dominus feodi illius" gave "manerium de Alfinctona in maritagium cum filia sua ipsi Johanni" and that he gave it to "Johannem de Curtenay" who relinquished it[226]. m JOHN de Neuville, son of --- (-after 1231). 6. AIGELINE de Courtenay (-after 1219). The chronology dictates that Aigeline must have been her father’s daughter by his second marriage. "Gilebertus Basset" granted land at Bicester and other properties to the prior of Bicester, for the souls of "mee et uxoris mee Egeline et liberorum nostrorum", by charter dated to [1182/85], witnessed by "…Egelina uxore mea, Aliz Basset…Thoma Basset, Fulcone Basset…"[227]. King John confirmed the grant of "manerio suo de Strafford" to "Gilberto Basset et Eggelin uxori eius" by charter dated 21 Mar 1200[228]. The presence of Aigeline in the grant suggests that the property in question had previously been held by her family. A charter of King Edward II records that “Gilebertus Basset” founded Bicester priory, Oxfordshire, for the souls of "…uxoris meæ Egelinæ et liberorum nostrorum", witnessed by "uxore mea Egelina…"[229]. "Aquilina de Curt" donated "totam terram meam de Swthona" to Bicester priory, for the souls of "patris mei Reginaldi de Curt et…matris mee et…sponsi mei Gilleberti Basset et filii mei Thome Basset", by charter dated to [1205/06], witnessed by "Robert de [C]urt, Thoma Basset…"[230]. The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Oxfordshire, dated 1219, which includes "Egelina de Curtenai" holding land "in Craumerse…hundredo de Langetroe…[et] in Burnecestre…in hundredo de Pockedelau"[231]. m GILBERT Basset [I], son of THOMAS Basset [I] of Headington, Oxfordshire & his wife Alice de Dunstanville (-[1205/06]). 7. [HENRY de Courtenay (-before 1231). "Gilebertus Basset" granted land at Bicester and other properties to the prior of Bicester, for the soul of "mee et uxoris mee Egeline et liberorum nostrorum", by charter dated to [1182/85], witnessed by "…Egelina uxore mea, Aliz Basset, Henrico de Curten…Thoma Basset, Fulcone Basset…"[232]. The witness list of this document suggests that Henry de Courtenay may have been another child of Renaud de Courtenay by his second marriage, and therefore the brother of the grantor’s wife. Bracton records a claim, dated 1231, by "Johannes de Neovilla" against "Willelmum priorem de Cuwyc" for "ecclesiam de Alfinctona…aduocacionem", the defendant stating that "Hawisia de Curtenay…matris ipsius Roberti" granted the advocacy of the church to "Henricum de Curtenay […quondam] in ligia viduitate sua" who donated it to "ecclesie de Cuwyk", while the claimant stated that "Robertus de Curtenay quondam dominus feodi illius" gave "manerium de Alfinctona in maritagium cum filia sua ipsi Johanni" and that he gave it to "Johannem de Curtenay" who relinquished it[233].]
The relationship between the following individuals and the Courtenay family has not yet been established:
1. EUSTACHIE de Courtenay (-after 7 Sep 1223). "Eustac de Curtenay" paid a fine for "manerio de Tynewik" in Devonshire, dated 1205[234]. The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Eustacia de Curtenay" held "Cumtun" in Surrey[235]. An order was made 7 Sep 1223 to suspend the demand for repayment by "Eustachia de Courtenay for debts of the Jews…[as] she holds nothing of the lands formerly of William son of Ancelin, formerly her husband, who owed those debts, except by way of dower"[236]. m WILLIAM, son of ANCELIN & his wife --- (-before 1223).
2. JOHN de Courtenay . Bracton records a claim, dated 1231, by "Johannes de Neovilla" against "Willelmum priorem de Cuwyc" for "ecclesiam de Alfinctona…aduocacionem", the defendant stating that "Hawisia de Curtenay…matris ipsius Roberti" granted the advocacy of the church to "Henricum de Curtenay […quondam] in ligia viduitate sua" who donated it to "ecclesie de Cuwyk", while the claimant stated that "Robertus de Curtenay quondam dominus feodi illius" gave "manerium de Alfinctona in maritagium cum filia sua ipsi Johanni" and that he gave it to "Johannem de Curtenay" who relinquished it[237].
3. JOHN de Courtenay . He may have been the same person as the John de Courtenay who is referred to by Bracton in the 1231 claim, and named above. A charter records an assize held “a die Pasche” 1238 records a claim by “H. prior Meritone” against “Johannem de Curtenay et Matildem uxorem eius” relating to “ecclesiam de Reyers”[238]. m (before 2 Jan 1234) as her second husband, MATILDA de Camville, widow of NELE de Mowbray, daughter of ROGER de Caneville & his wife --- (-before 6 Oct 1240). A manuscript which recites the Mowbray ancestry records that “Nigellum”, son of “Willielmus de Molbray”, married “filiam Rogeri de Canevilla”[239]. A charter records an assize held “a die Pasche” 1238 records a claim by “H. prior Meritone” against “Johannem de Curtenay et Matildem uxorem eius” relating to “ecclesiam de Reyers”[240]. The primary source which confirms that Matilda, wife of John de Courtenay, was the same person as the wife of Nele de Mowbray has not yet been identified.

EUSTACHIE de Courtenay (-6 Apr after 1235). The chronology of her first marriage is too uncertain to speculate sensibly on the date of Eustachie’s birth. "Eustachia uxor defuncti Guillelmi de Brena" confirmed her husband’s deathbed donation to Quincy by charter dated 1199[273].

C. SEIGNEURS de CHAMPIGNELLES (CAPET-COURTENAY)
Champignelles is located about 20 kilometres south of Courtenay, in the present-day French département of Yonne, arrondissement Auxerre, canton Bléneau. It lies 10 kilometres west of Toucy and, from the point of view of categorisation in Medieval Lands, could be shown either in the present document or in the document Auxerre in the Burgundy Duchy group. As Champignelles was a Courtenay family property, it seems appropriate to link the family with their Courtenay ancestors.
ROBERT de Courtenay, son of PIERRE de France Seigneur de Courtenay & his wife Elisabeth de Courtenay (-Palestine 5 Oct 1239). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Petrum Autissiodorensem et Robertum de Cortenaio et quondam Guillemum" as sons of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo" & his wife[291].

The primary source which confirms her origin and marriage has not yet been identified. The necrology of Orléans Cathedral records the death “XII Kal Dec” of “uxor nobilis viri Roberti de Courteneyo”[300]. She is not named, so it is not possible to link this entry with certainty to the first wife of Robert de Courtenay. However, as Robert’s death is recorded in the same necrology, this could be correct. m secondly (before 11 Jul 1209) as her second husband, MATHILDE de Mehun Dame de Mehun-sur-Yevre, widow of JEAN [III] de Beaugency-sur-Loire, daughter of PHILIPPE de Mehun Seigneur de Mehun-sur-Yevre & his wife --- (-1240, bur Mehun).

Robert & his first wife had [two] children: 1. BLANCHE de Courtenay . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated Mar 1221 (probably O.S.) under which “Robertus de Curtiniaco" confirmed that "gener meus Ludovicus filius comitis Sacri-Cesaris" swore homage to Philippe II King of France[307]. The date of her marriage indicates that Blanche must have been born from her father’s first marriage. m (before 1220) as his first wife, LOUIS [I] Comte de Sancerre, son of GUILLAUME [I] Comte de Sancerre [Champagne-Blois] & his second wife Marie de Charenton (-1268). 2.

B. COMTES de JOIGNY (NOYERS)
JEAN de Noyers, son of MILON [X] Seigneur de Noyers & his third wife Jeanne de Montbéliard Dame de Foissy (1323-killed in battle Brignais 10 May 1361, bur Joigny). Comte de Joigny. A manuscript records that “Monseigneur Mile seingnieur de Noyers boutillier de France” was sent by the king to meet the king of England, accompanied by “Jehan de Noyers conte de Jooigny et seingnieur d’Antigny son fils”, in Dec 1338[468]. Seigneur de Vendeuvre, de Pouilly, de Montaiguillon et de Villenaux. The testament of Miles de Noyers maréchal de France, made 1 May 1340, divided his territories “entre ses deux fils qui lui restoient, le 3o...Gauthier étant mort”, naming “Mile de Noyers son fils ainé, qu’il nomme sire de Montcornet” receiving Noyers, “Jean de Noyers son second fils...comte de Joigny...Vendeuvre, de Louvois et Paiens...”[469]. A charter dated 1364 records an agreement between "Milonem de Noeriis scutiferum tam nomine suo quam ut habentem ballum Erardi de Noeriis minoris annis, Ioannam et Ceciliam de Noeriis maiores annis, liberos quondam domini de Montecorneti" and “Odonem dominum de Granceio ad causam Matildis suæ uxoris” relating to succession matters, stating that “quondam defunctus Milo dominus de Noeriis eorum avus” had “septem liberos...Milonem de Noeriis dominum de Montecorneti eorum patrem, Ioannem de Noeriis comitem de Ioigniaco, Gaucherum de Noeriis, dominam de Castrovillani, dominam de Granceyo, Ioannam et Helissant moniales monasterii Iotrensis”[470]. m firstly (before 1344) as her second husband, JEANNE de Joinville Dame de Rimaucourt, widow of AUBERT [VII] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis, daughter of ANSEAU de Joinville Sénéchal de Champagne & his first wife Laura von Saarbrücken (-after 10 Jan 1345). "Jean de Hangest chevalier frère et héritier d’Aubert de Hangest" sold property to Philippe VI King of France, saving revenue for "Jeanne de Joinville veuve d’Aubert", by charter dated Nov 1338[471]. "Le duc de Normandie fils du roi de France" granted compensation to "Anseau de Joinville" for “la garde du fils de feu Aubert de Hangest seigneur de Genlis son gendre” by charter dated 1338[472]. The Parlement of Paris ordered "Henri de Joinville" to pay "à sa sœur Jeanne comtesse de Joigny veuve d’Aubert de Hangest" the sum due “au jour de la rédaction du contrat de mariage de Jeanne avec Aubert de Hangest seigneur de Genlis...daté du 20 novembre 1335” from the succession of “Anseau de Joinville” by charter dated 10 Jan 1345)[473]. m secondly MARGUERITE de Melun, daughter of JEAN [II] Vicomte de Melun Comte de Tancarville & his wife Jeanne Crespin (-1 Apr ----). The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "Kal Apr" of "domine Margarete de Meleduno condam domnina de Fiennez et comitissa de Joygniaco" and her donation[474]. She married secondly (before 1365) Robert de Fiennes Seigneur de Tingry. Jean & his first wife had three children: 1. MILON (-Château de Grancey 20 Oct 1376). Comte de Joigny. Père Anselme records that Guy Seigneur de Choiseul divided “à cause de sa femme...la seigneurie de Montaiguillon” with “Miles de Noyers chevalier comte de Joigny et Jean de Noyers seigneur de Rimaucourt”, inherited from their parents, by charter dated 11 Jun 1361[475]. m as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Ventadour, widow of JEAN de Vienne Seigneur de Sainte-Croix, daughter of BERNARD Comte de Ventadour & his wife Marguerite de Beaumont (-7 Dec 1399, bur abbaye de la Bussière). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriages without citing any source on which the information is based[476]. Milon & his wife had three children: a) JEAN [III] de Joigny (-Paris 28 Jan 1393). Comte de Joigny. Bouteiller de Bourgogne. b) LOUIS de Joigny (-3 Jul 1416). Comte de Joigny. Seigneur d’Antigny. c) MARGUERITE de Joigny (-1423). Her family origin and second marriage are confirmed by the marriage contract between [her daughter] “Damoiselle Claude de la Trimouille fille...Monseigneur Guy de la Trimouille chevalier Seigneur d’Uchon et Comte de Joigny, du corps de feue...Marguerite de Noyers Comtesse et Dame des lieux dessusdits” and “Charles de Vergey Seigneur d’Autrey et de Montferrant en la Comté de Bourgongne”, dated 15 Jan 1434 (O.S.?)[477]. Dame de Joigny, de Pouilly, d’Antigny. m firstly (after 1372) JACQUES de Vienne Seigneur de Longwy et de Marigny-sur-Ouche, son of JACQUES de Vienne Seigneur de Longwy & his wife Marguerite de la Roche (-killed in battle Nikopolis 28 Sep 1396). m secondly (before 1409) GUY de la Trémoïlle Baron de Bourbon-Lancy, son of GUILLAUME de la Trémoille & his wife Marie de Mello (-[1424/38]). Comte de Joigny. 2. JEAN (-Apr 1412). Père Anselme records that Guy Seigneur de Choiseul divided “à cause de sa femme...la seigneurie de Montaiguillon” with “Miles de Noyers chevalier comte de Joigny et Jean de Noyers seigneur de Rimaucourt”, inherited from their parents, by charter dated 11 Jun 1361[478]. Seigneur de Rimaucourt et de Vandeuvre. Père Anselme records that Jean de Noyers “eut un long différend avec Henry seigneur de la Roche [=Henri de Saint-Dizier seigneur de la Fauche, married to Jean’s wife’s supposed sister] et Thomas de la Rochelle [not identified] chevaliers”, for which Jean’s lands were confiscated and only returned by the king 22 Jun 1373 on condition of serving in the army “en Guyenne avec le comte de Joigny son frère” (no sources citations)[479]. The king granted “les terres de Trillebardoul et de Charmentré, confisquées sur la ville de Meaux...” to Jean in Mar 1376 (no source citation)[480]. Jolibois records that “Jean [de Noyers]”, whom he calls “petit-fils de Jeanne de Joinville”, swore homage in 1379 “pour la forte ville de Rimaucourt...” to “Thibaut de Neufchâteau, son parent, comte de Reynel” (no source citation)[481]. He was named “chevalier seigneur de Rimaucourt et de Vendeuvre, conseiller et chambellan du roi” in letters dated at Paris 2 Dec 1410, and acknowledged receipt of payments 17 Jun 1411 (no source citations)[482]. m JEANNE de la Fauche, daughter of --- (-before Mar 1406). Some confusion surrounds the parentage of the wife of Jean de Noyers Seigneur de Rimaucourt, although all secondary sources seem to agree that she was named “Jeanne de la Fauche”. Père Anselme names “Jeanne de Joinville la Fauche, dame de Lains, de Bourreules et de Vielains” as Jean’s wife (no sources cited)[483]. Expanding on this, Jolibois names “Jeanne, femme de Jean de Noyers, seigneur de Rimaucourt” as younger daughter of Ogier de Joinville Seigneur de la Fauche and his wife “Marguerite de Joinville, fille d’André” (no sources cited)[484]. Delaborde also records this parentage and marriage, but only cites Jolibois[485]. If Jolibois and Delaborde are correct, she was Jeanne de Joinville, daughter of Ogier de Joinville Seigneur de la Fauche & his wife Marguerite de Joinville-Beaupré. On the other hand, according to Europäische Stammtafeln, she was Jeanne de la Fauche, widow of Humbert de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulgnéville, daughter of Hugues de la Fauche & his wife Jeanne d’Anglure[486]. The contradiction has not been resolved, although the reference above to her husband’s dispute with Henri de Saint-Dizier suggests that the Joinville connection may be correct: although Anselme does not discuss the nature of the dispute, if Henri and Jean had married sisters it may have resulted from their father’s succession (the explanation for the involvement of “Thomas de la Rochelle” has not been found). In conclusion, presumably the confusion results from a source (not yet found) which names her only “Jeanne de la Fauche”, different secondary authors having assigned her to the two different families which seem both to have held (part?) of la Fauche around that time. Jean & his wife had five children: a) JEAN de Joigny (-[1408]). Seigneur de Montcornet. m ---. The name of Jean’s wife is not known. Jean & his wife had two children: i) JEANNE de Joigny (-before 27 Sep 1433). m (before 18 Sep 1421) ANTOINE Comte de Gruyère, son of RODOLPHE de Gruyère Seigneur de Montsalvens & his wife Antoinette de Salins dame de Montferrand et de Vaugrenant ([1395]-[27 Sep 1433/22 May 1434]). ii) CHARLOTTE de Joigny . m GUILLAUME de Villersexel Seigneur de Clairvaux-en-Montagne, son of --- (-1472). b) ISABELLE de Joigny (-after 1446). Dame de Vendeuvre. m DREUX [VI] de Mello Seigneur de Saint-Bris et de Bligny, son of DREUX [V] de Mello Seigneur de Saint-Bris & his wife Marguerite de Saint-Verain Dame de Jussy (-[1414/17]). c) AGNES de Joigny (-[21 Oct 1419/5 Mar 1420]). Dame de Rimaucourt. Jolibois records that “le dernier hommage de la maison de Noyers pour Rimaucourt” was given in 1443 [accuracy of this date?] “par dame Agnès, fille de Jean et de Jeanne de Lafauche”, who had inherited “de son frère Renaut” and who married “Jean de Choiseul de la branche d’Aigremont” (no source citations)[487]. m JEAN [I] d’Aigremont Seigneur d’Aigremont [Choiseul], son of --- (-before 1463). d) GUILLAUME de Joigny dit de Watefalle . m (before 1400) as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Poitiers, widow of GEOFFROY de Charny Seigneur de Montfort et de Lirey, daughter of CHARLES [I] de Poitiers Seigneur de Saint-Vallier & his wife --- (-25 Jul 1418, bur Dijon). e) RENAUD de Joigny (-[1411]). Seigneur de Rimaucourt et de Vandeuvre-sur-Barse. 3. JEANNE ([after 1344]-[3 Mar 1404/1407]). Dubois names “Jeanne de Joigny” as the wife of Guy de Choiseul but does not cite the primary source on which he bases his information[488]. Père Anselme records that Guy Seigneur de Choiseul divided “à cause de sa femme...la seigneurie de Montaiguillon” with “Miles de Noyers chevalier comte de Joigny et Jean de Noyers seigneur de Rimaucourt”, inherited from their parents, by charter dated 11 Jun 1361[489]. A letter dated 4 Feb 1661 records epitaphs then in the church of Morimond, including “Monseigneur Guy de Choiseul chevalier et Madame Jeanne de Noyers sa femme Dame dudit Choiseul fille de feu le Conte Jehan de Joigny, niepce du bon comte Henry de Vaudemont seigneur de Joinville“ [no dates of death][490]. The basis for this date has not been traced, but the following sources show that it is incorrect. Guy de Choiseul and Jeanne de Noyers his wife are named in charters dated 1390, 1 Jan 1393, 30 May 1399 and 3 Mar 1404 (N.S.)[491]. She died before 1407, the date of the charter in which her four children refer to her as deceased. m (before 11 Jun 1361) GUY Seigneur de Choiseul, son of GAUTHIER Seigneur de Choiseul & his wife --- (-[14 Aug 1413/1418], bur Morimond).
