"REYNOLD DE COURTENAY (or CURTENAY, CORTENAY), of Sutton, Berkshire, and Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Okehampton and Musbury, Devon, Hemington, Somerset, etc., of uncertain parentage. He married (1st) an unidentified wife, kinswoman of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (wife of King Henry II of England). They had three sons, William, Robert, and Reynold, and one daughter, Egeline. He was a witness in 1150 at Rouen in Normandy of a charter of Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II of England). He held lands in Sutton, Berkshire in 1160-1, and received a grant of the manor from King Henry II sometime in the period, 1175-84. He witnessed numerous charters of King Henry II issued in the period, 1164-88. He was frequently in the king's train on his itineraries in England and France. In 1171 he accompanied the king in his campaign in Ireland. He married (2nd) after 1173 MAUD FITZ ROBERT, daughter of Robert Fitz Roy (illegitimate son of King Henry I of England), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. In 1174 he witnessed an agreement between King Henry II and William the Lion, King of Scots. He was first recorded as holding lands in Devon in 1175-6. Sometime prior to his death, he granted two islands in the Thames between Witteneiam [?Wittenham] and Wadeiam [?Waddeson] to Abingdon Abbey. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY was living Michaelmas 1190, and died before Michaelmas 1191. In 1204-5 the king presented to the chapel of Musbury, Devon, which should have been in his widow, Maud's gift. In 1213 Maud obtained letters of safe conduct permitting her to return to England and petition for the king's favor. In 1215 the king directed the Constable of Wallingford to deliver to her seisin of the vill of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, which formed part of her dower. She presented to the church of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire about 1215. In 1220 she sued Robert de Courtenay and Reynold de Courtenay (her nephews and step-grandsons) for the manors of Oakharnpton, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hernington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right; Robert answered that no claims under French titles were valid; Maud rebutted that the properties were in England and she was English. Maud died shortly before 3 August 1224. In 1227 a mandate was sent to the sheriff of Gloucestershire ordering him to make enquiry of Peter Fitz Herbert concerning scutage for the manor of Okehampton, Devon which belonged to Maud de Courtenay.

“REYNOLD DE COURTENAY, in right of his wife, of Okehampton, Alphington, Kenn, Musbury, Wimple, and Winkleigh, Devon, younger son by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1150. He married after 1173 and before 1178 HAWISE DE COURCY, daughter and heiress of William de Courcy (or ?Geoffrey de Crimes?), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches. She was born before 1162, and was the older half-sister of his father's 2nd wife, Maud Fitz Robert. They had three sons, Robert, Knt., Reynold, Knt., and Henry. In 1178 he and his wife, Hawise, were granted license to have a free chapel at Oakhampton, Devon. At an unknown date, he witnessed a charter of his brother, Robert de Courtenay. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY died 27 Sept. 1194, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. In 1199 she fined for 300 marks for the lands of her mother, which included 40 librates in England and just as many in Normandy. In 1201 she owed 40 marks and one palfrey for 18 knights' fees. The same year she paid 40 marks for permission to cross the seas. In 1205 she owed 500 pounds and five palfreys to have livery of the honour of Oakhampton, Devon. At an unknown date, she confirmed to Christchurch Priory the land of Wicha in the manor of Chulmleigh, Devon, which land her predecessor, Richard Fitz Baldwin, previously gave to William Martel. Sometime during her widowhood, she granted the advowson of the church of Alphington, Devon to Henry de Courtenay. At an unknown date, she gave Ford Abbey the whole land of Haregrave, Devon in frankalmoin for maintaining three poor persons in the infirmary of the said house. Hawise died 31 July 1219, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset.

The same year her sister, Maud de Courtenay, brought a lawsuit against her, but the action was stayed due to Hawise's death.

Nonetheless, cousins they were, so that in 1217, when Robert de Courtenay was asked to surrender Exeter to Isabella, he is described in King Henry III's letter as 'our kinsman.' Perhaps because of his kinship to one of the leading families of France, Robert de Courtenay of Okehampton appears to have been singled out for particularly harsh treatment by Louis and the French during the civil war of 1216-17, being deprived of his lands in one of Louis' few surviving English charters. The fact that the original of this charter survived amongst the Courtenay family archives in France provides further proof, if such were needed, of the kinship between the English and French Courtenays. Robert appears as witness to Isabella's charter in favour of the monks of St. Nicholas Exeter, issued at Exeter in May 1217.). Knight Great Roll of the Pipe Michaelmas 1222 (Pubs.
