+<!-- There seems to be a confusion what really happened after Renaud I and Courtenay passing to his daughter and her husband. According to some sources Renaud I "quarreled" with Louis VI of France who then seized his lands and passed them on to his (Renaud's) daughter Elizabeth who was also in turn married to Pierre, youngest son of Louis VI of France thus starting the Capetian-Courtenay branch of the Latin Emperors. The son of Renaud I is also a source of confusion as there are conflicting sources stating that he was a child of Renaud I from his 1st marriage and some sources stating that he was a son from 2nd marriage. Whatever the case he and his father settled in England and Renaud II obtained feudal barony of Okehampton through marriage, being the progenitor of the Courtenay family in England (Earls of Devon).  -->
