Rainald III. (Joigny)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rainald III. von Joigny (* before 1096; † 1150 ) was a count of Joigny .

Rainald's family background is difficult to determine. In the current genealogical literature he is identified with the elder son of the same name of Sire Gottfried II of Joinville . This assumption is based on an entry by the chronicler Alberich von Trois-Fontaines who named the brothers Renardum… comes Ioviniaci… et Rogerum Ioveville (Rainald and Roger ) as sons of Iovevillam Gaufridus secundus (Gottfried II. Von Joinville). The chronicler also assigned the title comes Ioviniaci to all the ancestors of the brothers up to Stephan von Vaux , who are accordingly also referred to as the Counts of Joigny in recent literature. However, it is unclear whether it was an alternative spelling of the title of Graf von Joigny or whether this title results from an erroneous confusion of the names "Joinville" and "Joigny" by the chronicler, since Alberich is the only one who has this title for the Joinville family used. The latter assumption seems more plausible, especially since otherwise further genealogical contradictions would arise, since in addition to the first Sires of Joinville there are also other Counts of Joigny who are not related to them in a family context.

An alternative, however, is an entry in the Historia of the monk Aimon of Fleury . He named the brothers Guidonem et Raynardum Comitem de Johegneio as the sons of a daughter of Joscelinum de Cortinaco ( Joscelin von Courtenay ). As a result, there is a likelihood that Rainald III. had a brother named Guido and both would have been sons of Count Rainald II of Joigny. Count Rainald II was named a generation before them in 1096 as a participant in the First Crusade , he may have been the husband of Courtenay's daughter. His possible brother-in-law Joscelin von Courtenay also made a name for himself as a crusader.

Rainald III. married Wandelmode von Beaujeu, daughter of Humbert II von Beaujeu ( House Beaujeu ). In his second marriage he married Alice, the daughter of Stefan II of Blois and Adela of Normandy . He appeared in 1131 as a witness at the establishment of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Dilo (today Arces-Dilo , Yonne Department ), 20 km northeast of Joigny, by King Ludwig VI. from France .

Like his origins, Rainald's descendants are not certain. For the next named Count Rainald IV. († around 1172) no genealogical background is available, although it is obvious that he was a son of Rainald III. was. Only from Rainald IV onwards can a complete genealogy of all subsequent Counts of Joigny be traced (see House Joigny ).
