Renauld Corbeau Corbet Lord Fecamp

Renaud was born about 1050 in Caux, Normandy, France. Renaud's father was Hugo (Le Corbeau) le Corbet. He had three brothers named Hugh, Roger and Robert. He was the third oldest of the four children.

Renaud was in Palestine in 1096, with his two sons, Robert and Guy. From the last of these descended five generations, all of them men of eminent rank in France, distinguished crusaders in the Holy Land, and castellans or viscounts of St. Pol, which the Corbets continued to hold until Hugh Corbet, knight, fourth descendant of Guy, sold his viscountcy to the Count de St. Pol, in order to raise money that he might follow St Louis on his crusading expedition against the Moors of Africa.
