Notes about Renaud (Renaud I) de Dammartin

Fait prisonnier lors de la bataille de Bouvines en 1214. Il se suicide en prison. ES donne une année erronnée pour sa mort: 1217.
The anniversary of his wife's death, 21 April, is usually given following Henri Malo in _Un grand feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la coalition de Bouvines_ (Paris, 1898) p. 226, citing 18th-centuries
copies of the obituaries of Saint-Martin-aux-Bois abbey and Senlis cathedral.

Malo overlooked a charter of Renaud's daughter Mahaut for Saint-Martin-aux-Bois (then Ruricourt) abbey, dated August 1251, in which she specified the dates of commemoration for her father (22 May), mother (2 May) and husband Philippe Hurepel (18 January). The last of these is corroborated by at least six other obituaries, including Saint-Denis and Beauvais cathedral, though as so often happens he is placed on the following day or within a few afterwards by some others.

There is no apparent reason for Mahaut to separate the dates of her parents or to change either of them from 21 April if that was correct.
