He was buried in what was then the collegiate church of Saint-Spire in Corbeil-Essonnes , which he had built from 950. In the 14th century, a reclining figure was erected in memory of the founder , depicting him with a battle coat, shield and a dragon at his feet.
After Haymon's death, his wife Elizabeth's second husband , Burchard I , took over the county.
