B.�� VICOMTES et COMTES de SENS [882]-1015

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 Monti�ramey by charter dated Apr [927], signed by "Hugonis comitis, Wil� 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 Monti�ramey by charter dated Apr [927], signed by "Hugonis comitis, Wil� uxoris eius, Bosonis filii eius, Warnerii ipsorum filii"[21].� "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Monti�ramey, 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�Adeleid� comitiss�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 Monti�ramey by charter dated Apr [927], signed by "Hugonis comitis, Wil� uxoris eius, Bosonis filii eius, Warnerii ipsorum filii"[23].� "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Monti�ramey, 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�Adeleid� comitiss�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 Vienne967/986.� "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Monti�ramey, 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�Adeleid� comitiss�Eriberti comitis�"[26].�

iii) HUMBERT de Troyes ([after 927]-).� "Willa comitissa" donated "alodum situm in pago Belnense" to Monti�ramey, 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�Adeleid� comitiss�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]-Mar�on 21 Jul 987, bur Ch�teauneuf, �glise 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 Vienne935-948.� 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 Columb�" 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.�

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 N�ronville priory and donated "terram quam habebat a Sed ultra flumen Feure (ali�s Fuhure)" with the consent of "_Milo de Curtiniaco et Adam nepos eius, de quorum beneficio erat_�_Fulco vicecomes_[Foulques Vicomte de Ch�teau-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 N�ronville 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 N�ronville 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]).]�

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 �_apr�s 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].�

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 pr�sidium...Mons-Ferrandus_�, during the course of which �_Gaufridus Charpalu, domini Joscelini senioris Edessani comitis frater_� was killed, dated to 1137[138].�
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 h�res 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 Franci� 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 Ch�teaurenard, 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 Orl�ans names "Geraldus Berruyerius, frater beati Gulielmi Bituricensis archiepiscopi" as the father of Philippe Berruier who was bishop of Orl�ans from 1221 to 1236, citing �_Historia Ecclesi� Bituricensis_� (a work which has not been identified)[163].� The primary source which confirms beyond doubt that the archbishop was the full brother of G�rard Berruier has not yet been identified.� Bouchet says that �on _apprend de quelques chartes que [Renaud] �pousa la s�ur 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, G�rard 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 Europ�ische 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 �Moen�e 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 Pr�mery, arrondissement Cosne-Cours.sur-Loire, in the present-day d�partement of Ni�vre.� No other contemporary reference to a family �d�Arthel� has been found.� The explanation for �d�Arthel� in relation to Moen�e 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 comitiss� Nivernensis domin� 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. camer� 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 �Moen�e� 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 Moen�e� 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:�

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 h�res 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, d�partement 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 Cath�drale 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 Ad�la�de de Maurienne ([1126]-Palestine 10 Mar [1180/10 Apr 1183]).� He succeeded as Seigneur de Courtenay, de Montargis, de Ch�teaurenard, de Champignelles, de Tanlay, de Charny et de Charenton, by right of his wife.�

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 Herman�on [Arman�on]...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]).�
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 h�res 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.]�

[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) HAWISELady 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].�

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 Comt� 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 Tr�mo�lle Baron de Bourbon-Lancy, son of GUILLAUME de la Tr�moille & his wife Marie de Mello (-[1424/38]).� Comte de Joigny.�

JEAN (-Apr 1412).� P�re Anselme records that Guy Seigneur de Choiseul divided �� 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.� P�re Anselme records that Jean de Noyers �_eut un long diff�rend 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 fr�re_� (no sources citations)[479].� The king granted �_les terres de Trillebardoul et de Charmentr�, confisqu�es 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 Neufch�teau, 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�.� P�re 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�Andr�_� (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-Beaupr�.� On the other hand, according to Europ�ische Stammtafeln, she was Jeanne de la Fauche, widow of Humbert de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulgn�ville, 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:�
