Sibylle de Courtenay

MedLands

SIBYLLE de Courtenay ([1210 or after?]-Fontevraud [after 1223?]). She became a nun at Fontevraud Abbey. Bouchet states that “Sibylle de Courtenay...fut religieuse à Fontevraut” adding that “son père fit une donation en sa faveur...ce qui fut confirmé par son frère Philippes de Courtenay Marquis de Namur l´an 1223 au mois de Mars” but does not provide the citation reference for either document[107]. It is not clear from Bouchet´s paragraph whether Sibylle was still alive at the date of her brother´s confirmation of the donation. The necrology of Fontevraud records the death of “Sibylla...virgo apud Fontem-Ebrardi ætatis XIII annorum filia comitis Autissiodorensis et Yolendis de Flandrie”; Bouchet adds the date “1223” in the margin but it is unclear whether the necrology records the year.
