The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Petrum Autissiodorensem et Robertum de Cortenaio et quondam Guillemum" as sons of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo" & his wife[25]. “Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus” confirmed donations to Fontaine-Jean abbey, with the consent of “uxor mea Ysabel et primogenitus meus Petrus”, by charter dated 1170, witnessed by “Ex parte domini et pueri...”[26], indicating that Pierre [II] was still a child at the time. Bouchet says that “on peut dire avec quelque forte certitude [que Pierre] n´avoit pour lors tout au plus que douze ans, puisque d´ordinaire on ne se sert point du terme puer pour exprimer une jeunesse au delà de cet âge”[27]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Courtenay. A charter dated “die festivo de Ramis palmarum” [=10 Apr] 1183 records that “Petrus de Curtiniaco regis Galliæ Philippi patruus” when he was alive donated “villam...Heruauuilla” to Notre-Dame la Royalle de Rosoy, with the consent of “Elisabeth uxor eius et Petrus eorundem maior filius et alii...Robertus, Philippus, Willelmus”[28]. He succeeded as Comte de Nevers, Comte d’Auxerre in 1184, by right of his first wife. He accompanied Philippe II King of France on the Third Crusade in 1190, returning to France in 1193. After his defeat by Hervé de Donzy, following their dispute over the château de Gien, Pierre de Courtenay was confirmed as Comte d'Auxerre, Comte de Tonnerre for life in 1199 but was obliged to cede the county of Nevers, as well as his daughter's hand in marriage, to Hervé. Comte Pierre took part in the crusade against the Albigeois in 1210 and was present at the siege of Toulouse. He fought at the battle of Bouvines in 1214[29]. He succeeded as Marquis de Namur in 1213, by right of his second wife. He was elected in 1216 to succeed his brother-in-law Henri de Flandres as PIERRE I Emperor of Constantinople. Leaving France, he travelled to Rome where he was crowned 9 Apr 1217 by Pope Honorius III at the Church of San Lorenzo fuori i Muri[30]. He sent his wife and daughters directly to Constantinople, but the Venetians persuaded Emperor Pierre to help recapture Durazzo on his way. After succeeding in this enterprise, he was captured in the Albanian mountains by Theodoros Angelos Lord of Epirus, and disappeared[31] presumably murdered although his fate did not become known until [early 1221][32].

In a later passage, the same source names "Hyolenz…soror comitis Philippi Namucensis" as wife of "comes Petrus Autisiodorensis", specifying that her husband became Comte de Namur by right of his wife[40].

"Guigo comes Forensis" founded the church of Notre-Dame de l’Espérance de Montbrison by charter dated 1223[154]. He succeeded as Comte de Nevers in 1226, by right of his wife. William of Tyre (Continuator) names "le conte de Fores qui estoit cuens de Nevers de par sa feme" among those who took part in the crusade from France which landed at Acre in 1239[155].

Philippe II King of France confirmed the conditions of the proposed marriages between "Guigue fils du comte de Forez, et une fille de Guy de Dampierre" and "Archambaud, fils de Guy de Dampierre, et Guigone, fille dudit comte de Forez" by charter dated [10 Apr 1205/1 Apr 1206][158]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. This betrothal was presumably terminated before the series of disputes which broke out between the Forez and Dampierre/Bourbon families in 1210, which led to Guy’s betrothal to Ermengarde d’Auvergne, but later revived.
     "Betrothed (1210, [terminated?]) to ERMENGARDE d'Auvergne, daughter of GUY [II] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife Petronille de Chambon (-16 Jan 1225).

La Mure describes the background to this betrothal: Philippe II King of France had dispossessed Guy [II] of his county in 1210 in reprisal for his persecution of his brother Robert Bishop of Clermont, Guy de Dampierre Seigneur de Bourbon supported the king in this move, while the county of Forez supported the comte d’Auvergne[160]. However, in a later passage he records that the betrothal of the daughter of Guy de Forez and Guillaume [X] d’Auvergne was terminated "par le changement des affaires qui survint ès Maisons d’Auvergne et de Forez"[161]. La Mure does not state what happened to Ermengarde’s betrothal to Guy [IV] Comte de Forez at the time, but it appears likely that it was terminated too, and presumably revived at some later date after the death of Guy’s first wife.

The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. La Mure dates this marriage to "environ 1216"[163]. As noted above, the political difficulties involving the Forez, Bourbon-Dampierre, and Auvergne families must have resulted in the earlier betrothal to Philippa [Mathilde] being terminated but later revived. The primary source which confirms the actual marriage has not yet been identified. One possibility is that two different daughters of Guy [II] Seigneur de Dampierre were involved, which would explain the different names used in secondary sources.

; Per Genealogics:
     “Hervé IV de Donzy, sire de Donzy, was born about 1173, the son of Hervé III, sire de Donzy, and Mathilde/Mabille Gouët. In October 1199 he married Mahaut de Courtenay, comtesse de Nevers, daughter of Pierre II de Courtenay, emperor of Constantinople, and his first wife Agnès de Nevers. Their son Guillaume died as a child in 1207; their daughter Agnès would have progeny with her second husband Guy I de Châtillon, comte de St. Pol, having first married Philippe de France, eldest son of the dauphin, the future Louis VIII de France.
     “Hervé became count of Nevers through his marriage. In a dispute over the château de Gien with his father-in-law, Hervé came to a settlement in 1199, having defeated and captured Pierre at Cosne-sur-Loire. After Pierre's death in 1219 he became count of Auxerre and Tonnerre also, though Philippe de Namur and Robert de Courtenay contested Auxerre. He acquired the Limais in 1210.
     “Hervé and Mahaut were active in developing the Nivernais, and his lands around Donzy adjoining the Nivernais and Burgundy. In 1209 they founded a Carthusian abbey at Bellary. He reconstructed the château Musard, Billy-sur-Oisy, around 1212-15. The priory at Beaulieu was founded in 1214.
     “In 1204-05 Hervé supported the French side against the English in fighting in Normandy, Poitou and Touraine. He was active against the Albigensians, taking part in the 1209 siege of Carcassonne. In 1214 he took part in the Battle of Bouvines, on the side of Emperor Otto IV. In 1217 he took part in the French invasion of England. After his return from the Fifth Crusade in Egypt in 1219, he was at Marmande.
     “Hervé died on 22 January 1223. His death has often been attributed to poison.
     “In 1226 his widow Mahaut married Guy IV, comte de Forez, who became comte de Nevers in her right. The marriage did not result in progeny.”.⁸

; Per Richardson:
     “Jacquette de Luxembourgh, wife of Richard Wydeville, Earl Rivers, is descended from Hervé de Donzy, Count of Nevers and Auxerre (died 1223), and his wife, Mahaut de Courtenay. As such, this couple are in the ancestry of many people here on the newsgroup.
     “Contemporary records indicate that Count Hervé and his wife, were related in the 4th degree of kinship [Reference: M.-J.-J. Brial, Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 19 (1880): 477 (document dated: 3 June 1205: "… Significavit nobis dilectus filius nobilis vir O(do) [Eudes] Dux Burgundiæ quod in ecclesia Gallicana grave scandalum est subortum, ex eo quod dilectus filius, nobilis vir Nivernensis Comes, cum consanguinea sua, quam in quarto gradu contingit, de facto solummodo, quia de jure non potuit, contraxit copulam conjugalem."),586, 551-552, 576, 661, 704, 713, 754].
