Renaud de Courtenay, b. c 1125, d. Oct - Dec 1190; witness in 1150 at Rouen, Normandy of charter of Henry, Duke of Normandy (later Henry II of England); in 1160 received grant of the Manor of Sutton, Berkshire from the king; from that date in constant attendance on the king, perhaps a royal secretary; in 1171 accompanied the king in his campaign in Ireland; appears holding land in Devonshire for the first time 1175-1176; in the king's train in his travels in England and France; m. (1) an unidentified woman, mother of Son Reginald; m. (2) Maud, daughter of Robert Fitz Edith (illegitimate son of King Henry I of England, by Edith, daughter of Forn), by Maud (d'Avranches) de Courcy, widow of William de Courcy. [Ancestral Roots]
Note: I have (unsourced) Hawise Deincourt as the unidentified woman who was his 1st wife.
Note: Could his holding land in Devon finally in 1175-1176 possibly relate to his late (1172) marriage to Maud Fitz Edith or to the son Reginald's marriage to Hawise de Courcy, Heiress of Okehampton?
Renaud II Sire de and Hawise were married in a religious ceremony in 1st wife. They had a son and a daughter, named Reginald de and Egeline de.
