From Medlands:
"RENAUD de Courtenay (-27 Sep 1194). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified, although the Testa de Nevill confirms that the father of Robert de Courtenay was the son of Renaud de Courtenay: a writ of King John dated 1212 records that "Robertus de Curtenay" held "terre in Sutton" in Berkshire which King Henry II had granted to "Reginaldo de Curtenay avo suo"[1541]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Reginaldo de Curtenai…in Sutton" in Berkshire[1542]. m (1178 or before) HAWISE Lady of Okehampton, daughter of [GEOFFROY de Crimes/GUILLAUME de Curcy] & his wife Mathilde d'Avranches (-31 Jul 1219). Two versions of her parentage are recorded. Bracton records a claim, dated 1222, by "Matillis de Curteney" against "Robertum de Curtenay" concerning "manerium de Ocumptona", which records that "Robertus" claimed that the land was "hereditas Matillidis de Aueregnes" who had "duas filias…Hawisiam matrem suam primogenitam […filia Gaufridi de Crimes primi viri Matillidis de Auerenches] et…Matillidem"[1543]. However, another claim recorded by Bracton, also dated 1222, by "Matillis de Curtenay" against "Robertum de Curtenay" concerning "manerium de Chamelegha" states that "Robertus filius Regis…Matillidem de Auerenches uxorem suam" held the land which was inherited by "Hawisie filie sui matri eiusdem Roberti de Curtenay que fuit filia Willelmi de Curcy viri eiusdem Matillidis"[1544]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hawisa de Curtenay" holding three knights´ fees in Debonshire in [1210/12][1545]. The sheriff of Devon was ordered "to take into the king´s hand…lands…formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, who is dead as the king has heard", dated 14 Aug 1219[1546]. Renaud & his wife had one child:
- "ROBERT de Courtenay (-26 Jul 1242, bur Ford Abbey, Devon). The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Robertus de Curtenay" held "terre in Sutton" in Berkshire which King Henry II had granted to "Reginaldo de Curtenay avo suo"[1547]. Of Okehampton."

Categories: Early Barony of Okehampton
The patriarch of the English branch of the Courtenay family was Reginald I de Courtenay, Sire de Courtenay, who settled in England following the confiscation of his lands by Louis VII. Reginald was the cousin of the notorious Josceline de Courtenay of Palestine. The Courtenay lands were subsequently granted to Reginald's daughter Elizabeth about the time of her marriage to a younger son of Louis VI, Pierre of France [died 1183]. Reginald II de Courtenay was to marry Hawise de Curcy alias Avranches [died 1219], heir of her father to the Curcys of Normandy and through her mother to the English barony of Oakhampton, and lands in Normandy from her maternal grandparents in Avranches, Meulan and Sap. Hawise was to retain her lands in Normandy following 1204 by swearing allegiance to the French King whilst her son Robert de Courtenay inherited her English lands, the latter married Mary, the daughter of William de Reviers alias Vernon and through her the Courtenays were to become the eventual heirs of the earldom of Devon.
I am not sure that this is the same profile as DeCourtenay-13, they may be son & father despite the dates being the same - I think this requires some more research :)
