  • Notes 
    • Foundation for Medieval Genealogy

      He was the son of Louis VI of France who took the name of his wife "de Courtenay"-

      PIERRE de France ([1126]-Palestine 10 Mar [1180/10 Apr 1183]). William of Tyre names him as brother of Louis VII King of France, when recording his arrival in Palestine in 1179[406]. He succeeded as Seigneur de Courtenay, by right of his wife. "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"[407]. The necrology of La Cour-Dieu records the death "VI Id Mar" of "Petrus de Curtiniaco"[408].

      m (before 24 Nov 1160) ELISABETH de Courtenay, daughter and heiress of RENAUD Seigneur de Courtenay & his first wife Helvis de Donjon ([1140/45]-14 Sep after 1205). A Historia Regum Francorum records that "Petrus", son of Louis VI King of France, married "filiam Rainaldi de Curtiniaco cum…terra illius"[249].

      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")[250]. 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[251].

      "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..."[252].

      The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records "filie Regin de Crtinni" in London/Middlesex[253]. As discussed above in the introduction to section showing Elisabeth's father, it is possible that this entry relates to Elisabeth. "Petrus...Ludovici Francorum regis frater" granted privileges to Montargis, with the consent of "uxoris suæ Helisabeth et Petri filii sui", by charter dated 1170[254].

      "Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus" confirmed donations to Fontaine-Jean abbey, with the consent of "uxor mea Ysabel et primogenitus meus Petrus", by charter dated 1170, witnessed by "Ex parte domini et pueri..."[255].

      "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[256].

      "Petrus frater regis dominus de Monteargi et de Curtiniaco" donated property to Fontaine-Jean abbey on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "uxor mea Ysabel et filius meus Petrus", by charter dated 1179[257].

      "Elisabeth domina de Curteneto mater Petri comitis Nivernensis" donated money to Paris Notre-Dame, for the anniversary of "Petri mariti meio", and a further donation to the Knights Hospitallers after she died, by charter dated 1189[258]. Bouchet states that Elisabeth confirmed donations to "l' abbaye des Escharlis" in 1205 "qui est le dernier Acte qu'on touve d'elle"[259]. The necrology of the Eglise Cathédrale de Paris records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "Helysabeth mater Petri comitis Autisiodorensis"[260].

      Pierre [I] & his wife had eleven children:

      1. PIERRE [II] de Courtenay ([after 1158]-Epirus after Jun 1219).
      2. daughter .
      3. ALIX de Courtenay ([1160/65]-12 Feb 1218).
      4. EUSTACHIE de Courtenay (-6 Apr after 1235).
      5. CLEMENCE de Courtenay .
      6. ROBERT de Courtenay (-Palestine 5 Oct 1239).
      7. PHILIPPE de Courtenay (-[before Apr 1183]).
      8. --- de Courtenay .
      9. CONSTANCE de Courtenay ([1168]-after 1231).
