RENAUD de Mâcon (-22 Jan 1148 or 20 Jan 1149). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Elizabeth sororem comitis Raynaldi de Burgundia" as wife of "Hugo comes Campanie"[65], but the primary source which confirms their parentage has not yet been identified. He succeeded his father in 1102 as Comte de Mâcon, under the guardianship of his uncle Guy, who was then Archbishop of Vienne[66]. He succeeded his second cousin in 1127 as RENAUD III Comte Palatin de Bourgogne. He defeated Konrad I Herzog von Zähringen, who claimed Bourgogne-Comté after the death of his nephew Comte Palatin Guillaume II. However, after refusing to swear allegiance to Emperor Lothar for his imperial lands, Renaud was captured and brought before the emperor by Herzog Konrad and these territories were confiscated. He was known as "le franc-comte", the origin of the name of the area later known as Franche-Comté. The necrology of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs records the death "XVIII Kal Feb" of "Rainaldus comes"[67]. m ([1130]) AGATHE de Lorraine, daughter of SIMON II Duke of Lorraine & his wife Adélaïde de Hainaut. 1130/48. The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising records the wife of Comte Renaud as "Simonis Lotharingiorum ducis filiam"[68]. Comte Renaud III refers to Agathe as his collateralis in a charter, which Bouchard suggests was a term not generally used to mean wife[69]. She was first cousin once removed of her husband but no mention of a Papal dispensation for the marriage has so far been identified.
** from Wikipedia listing for Renaud III, Count of Burgundy, as of 10/15/2014
Renaud III (c. 1093 – 1148), son of Stephen I (Tête-hardi) and Beatrix of Lorraine, was the count of Burgundy between 1127 and 1148. Previously, he had been the count of Mâcon since his father's death in 1102, with his brother, William of Vienne.
He proclaimed independence from the Holy Roman Emperor Lothair III, but was defeated by King Conrad III of Germany and forced to relinquish all his lands east of the Jura. The name of the region Franche-Comté is derived from his title, franc-compte, meaning "free count".
