Peter I Of Courtenay
Peter I of Courtenay (September 1126 – 10 April 1183) was the sixth son of Louis VI of France and his second wife, Adélaide de Maurienne. He was the father of the Latin Emperor Peter II of Courtenay. Peter was born in France and died in Palestine. In about 1150, he married Elizabeth de Courtenay (1127 – September 1205), the daughter of Renaud de Courtenay and Hawise du Donjon, thus starting the Capetian line of the House of Courtenay. Rumour has it that he is buried in a tomb in the floor of Exeter Cathedral, next to Elizabeth; however, no physical evidence currently exists and the historians at the cathedral can find no documentation to support this rumour. Children Peter I and his wife had ten children: * Phillip (1153 – before 1186) * Peter II, Latin Emperor of Constantinople (''c.'' 1155 to 1218) * Unnamed daughter (''c.'' 1156 – ?) * Alice (died 12 February 1218), married Count Aymer of Angoulême * Eustachia (1162–1235), married firstly William of Brienne, ...

From 1239 until his death, he was the ruling Lord of ConchesConches is much more likely to be Conches-sur-Gondoire in Seine-et-Marne rather than Conches-en-Ouche in Normandy (no family links and too far away from the other fiefs). and Mehun-sur-Yèvre. Life Peter was the eldest of five sons of Robert of Courtenay, Lord of Champignelles and his wife Matilda of Mehun. From his parents he inherited the castle of Conches and Mehun. On 25 August 1248, he sailed with his cousin, King Louis IX of France, from Aigues-Mortes to Egypt to fight the Seventh Crusade, during which he died.

House Of Courtenay
The House of Courtenay is a medieval noble house, with branches in France, England and the Holy Land. One branch of the Courtenays became a Royal House of the Capetian Dynasty, cousins of the Bourbons and the Valois, and achieved the title of Latin Emperor of Constantinople. Origin The house was founded by Athon, the first lord of Courtenay in France. Athon took advantage of the succession crisis in the Duchy of Burgundy between Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy and King Robert II of France to capture a piece of land for himself, where he established his own seigneury (lordship), taking his surname from the town he founded and fortified. Athon was succeeded by his son Joscelin, who had three sons: Miles, who was Lord of Courtenay after him; Prince Joscelin, who joined the First Crusade and became Count of Edessa; and Geoffrey, who also fought in the Holy Land and died there. In the 12th century, Reginald de Courtenay (d.1190), son of Milo de Courtenay (d.1127), quarrelled ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
