Renaud II de Bourgogne Comte de Bourgogne

  General Notes:

RENAUD (-[Palestine 1097 or Summer 1101]). "Rainaldus comes Matisconensis" made a donation to Cluny dated [1086] subscribed by "Willelmi patris mei". His father installed him in [1078] as Comte de Mâcon. He succeeded his father in 1087 as RENAUD II Comte de Bourgogne. He joined the First Crusade, appointing his younger brother Etienne as regent of Bourgogne-Comté during his absence. Albert of Aix records that "Reinoldo duce Burgundiæ, fratre Stephani, vice ipsius Burgundiam regentis" had left for Jerusalem before the Lombard expedition, passed the winter at Antioch, and joined Welf I Duke of Bavaria on his journey to Jerusalem, but died and was buried en route. If this is correct, Renaud must have died in Summer 1101.

"Regina ex prosapia non obscura…comitis Cononis filia qui frater extit Conraldi viri…in itinere Jerosolimitano defuncti, generi nimirum comitis Pictaviensis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire where she was about to become a nun, for the foundation of the priory of Aiwaille, by charter dated 1088, which states that "me maritalis jugi sarcina exoneravit" suggesting an amicable separation from her husband. The charter dated 1095 under which "Guillelmus comes" donated property to Marcigny-sur-Loire names "mater mea Cuniza Cononis filia". She is named "mater mea Regina" in her son's 1107 charter which also names her father "avi ac nutritoris mei Cononis comitis".
