m firstly ([1200]) CONSTANCE [de Toucy], daughter of --- (-[20 Nov] ----). The primary source which confirms her origin and marriage has not yet been identified. The necrology of Orléans Cathedral records the death “XII Kal Dec” of “uxor nobilis viri Roberti de Courteneyo”[4038]. She is not named, so it is not possible to link this entry with certainty to the first wife of Robert de Courtenay. However, as Robert’s death is recorded in the same necrology, this could be correct.

m secondly (before 11 Jul 1209) as her second husband, MATHILDE de Mehun Dame de Mehun-sur-Yevre, widow of JEAN [III] de Beaugency-sur-Loire, daughter of PHILIPPE de Mehun Seigneur de Mehun-sur-Yevre & his wife --- (-1240, bur Mehun). http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CHAMPAGNE%20NOBILITY.htm#RobertChampignellesdied1239A
