Note: ATHON COURTENAY was the son of the Governour of Castle Renaud inGastinois in France. During the reign of King Robert the piour, aboutthe year 1000, he fortified the town of Courtenay in the Isle deFrance, and gavethe name to the family.
It stands on a hill on the banks of theRiver Clairy, between Sens onthe easst and Montargis
on the west, about 56 miles from Paris.
He was very likely related to Hugh Capet, who gained the throne ofFrance from the Carolingians in the year 987. The real founder of thehouse of Capet was Robert the Strong, who received from Charles theBald, King of the Franks, the countships of Anjou and Blois and wassometimes called duke. He was a Saxon. His two sons, Odo (or Eudes)and Robert succeeded their father successively as dukes, and in 887some of the Franks chose Odo as their king. They chose Robert as thesuccessor in 922.
When Robert died in 923 he was succeeded by his brother-in-law,Rudolph Duke of Burgundy, and not by his sonHugh, who is known inhistory as Hugh the Great, duke of France and Burgundy, and whosedomain extended from the Loire to the frontiers of Picardy.
When Louis V, king of the Franks, died in 987, the Franks, settingaside the Carolingians, passed over his brother, Charles, and electedHugh Capet as their king. He was crowned at Reims.
There are three main branches of Anthon Courtenay's descendants --those who departed for the Crusades and became the courts of Edessaand Emperors of Jerusalem and Constantinople, those who remained inFrance after the crusades and those who went to England and foundedthe family there. Only the English branches have survived and it isfrom these branches that the American families are descended.
---This genealogy of his descendents is from charts found at theSociety of Geneologists Library in London, England, in a box ofrecords marked "Courtenay'', copied by Dorothy Saunders and ThelmaMcIlwain.
