Othon de Tonnerre

   Another name for Othon was Otto de Tonnerre.¹

  General Notes:

OTTO de Tonnerre (-before Jul 1036, bur Tonnerre Saint-Michel). "Rainaldus comes" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, for the soul of "filii mei Othonis" buried in the monastery and "uxore mea Herviz…filio nostro Arduyno ac filia Ermengarda", by charter dated Jul 1036. Otto is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln as having three possible sons, Robert, Wido and Renaud, all "puer"1036. This is based on the charter of "Rainaldus comes" dated Jul 1036 (see above). The full list of subscribers to this document is: "Rainaldi comitis, Arduini, Erviz matris eius, Ermengardæ sororis eius, Ervei, Widonis, Hugonis, Barnuynis, Wydonis, Emelini, Iterii, Widrici, Rotberti clerici, Hugonis, Rodulfi, Attonis, Raynaldi, Rotberti pueri, Widonis pueri, Raynardi pueri, Richardi, Otmundi, Attoni, Joffredi, Otmundi, Aymonis, Millonis clerici, Raynaldi comitis, Willelmi comitis filii eius". None of the names has been identified apart from Comte Renaud and his immediate family, and the last two. The names of the three "pueri" have no special priority in the order of the list and it seems pure speculation to suggest that they may have been the sons of Otto, deceased son of Renaud. ¹
