Notes about Athon (Hutton) de Courtenay Châtelain de Château Renard, Seigneur de Courtenay

The Courtenay family took its name from the town of Courtenay in the French division of Gastinois, which stands on a hill near the banks of the river Clairee in Ile-de-France, between Sens on the east and Montargis on the west (about 56 miles south of Paris).
Athon, who fortified the town in the 11th century, took the surname "de Courtenay," and thus gave the name of the town to his descendants. He was the son of a chatelain or governor of the Castle Renaud (or Raynard) in Courtenay.

From him are derived the royal line of Courtenay in France, and the English house of Courtenay who were the Barons of Okehampton and Earls of Devon [A genealogical history of the noble and illustrious family of Courtenay in three parts : the first giveth an account of the Counts of Edessa, of that family, the second of that branch that is in France, the third, of that branch that is in England, pp. 1-3].

"With the first rays of light, we discern the nobility and opulence of Atho, a French knight; his nobility, in the rank and title of a nameless father; his opulence, in the foundation of the castle of Courtenay in the district of Gatinois, about fifty-six miles to the south of Paris." Athon, châtelain de Château-Renard was born in 985 in Courtenay, Loiret, France. He founded the castle of Courtenay in the district of Gatinois in 1010 in Loiret, France [Edward Gibbon The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, I-III (London: ., 1776-1782), Chapter 61, Digression On The Family Of Courtenay].
