Notes

Gatinais and of Chateau Renard; built the castle at Courtenay, 1010.

From a posting to GEN-MEDIEVAL on 26 Apr 1999 by Gilbert Baumgartner

citing Maurice Houy's book, "Les Courtenay travers l'histoire", comes the

following: Hugh Capet's father had placed the important city of Sens

under the control of several ambitious counts - Fromont I, Renard the

Old, Fremont II, & Renard the Bad. These counts built fortresses -

Montereau, at the confluence of the Seine into the Yonne, Joigny on the

Yonne, and Chateaurenard on the Ouanne. One presumes that Athon, who

was connected with Chateaurenard's Seigniory and founded in about the

year 1000 the castle of Courtenay, was a descendant of Renard the

Second. Athon formed an alliance with GEOFFREY FERROLES (RIN 1377),

count ot the Gatinais and rendered him such services that this one gave

him Chateaurenard, Charny and Champignelles. He lived till about 1060.

His son married GEOFFREY's daughter.
