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”. It is unclear from the wording of the charter whether the document is dated before or after the death of the donor. 2
