http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/burgdtonne.htm#MiloIVTonnerredied1046B

MILON [V] de Tonnerre, son of MILON [III] & his wife --- ([995/1005]-[before/after 29 Sep 1046]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1046 in which Milon [V] Comte de Tonnerre names some of his paternal ancestors “Milo atavus meus…Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…” (see further details below)[77]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that the birth date range estimated for his son Guy is correct as suggested below. Comte de Tonnerre. He presumably succeeded his cousin Renaud as Comte de Tonnerre in [1039/40]. “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, for the souls of “Milo atavus meus” (founder of the monastery) “Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…Wuydo frater meus…et Wuydo filius meus”, adding that the last named had been killed “a servis suis”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Azece ac filiorum meorum”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046, which specifies that after the death of “supradicti Milonis regnante filio eius Hugone…”, subscribed by “Waleranni filii eius, Joffredi filii eius” and signed by “Hugonis qui et Raynardi…comitis, Thedbaldi Ruffi, Lamberti vice-comitis, Giselberti et Wydonis et Gaufredi fratrum, Rodulphi, Willenci, Odonis filii Ingelbaudi”[78]. It is unclear from the wording of the charter whether the document is dated before or after the death of the donor.

m AZECA, daughter of --- (-before 1068). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, with the consent of “uxoris mee Azece ac filiorum meorum”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046, subscribed by “Waleranni filii eius, Joffredi filii eius”[79]. Her date of death is fixed by the charter dated 1068 under which her son “Raynardum…[Lingonensis] ecclesie pontificali” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre referring to property donated “post mortem matris meæ”[80].

Milon [V] & his wife had five children:

1. GUY de Tonnerre ([1025/30]-before 29 Sep 1046). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, for the souls of “… Wuydo filius meus”, adding that the last named had been killed “a servis suis”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046[81]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was no longer a child when killed “a servis suis”, assuming that he died shortly before his father’s 1046 charter.

HUGUES RAINARD de Tonnerre (-2/3 Apr 1084). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046, which specifies that after the death of “supradicti Milonis regnante filio eius Hugone…”, signed by “Hugonis qui et Raynardi…comitis…”[82].
