Biographyedit
Heiress of the counties of Nevers, Auxerre and Tonnerre at the death of her brother William V in 1181,[2] she was initially married to Olivier "Albus," lord of Grignon († 1181/84).[2] When Olivier died, King Philip Augustus arranged her marriage in 1184 - she was 14 - with Peter II of Courtenay.[2]
In 1185, she and her husband Peter confirmed by charter the privileges of the church of Saint-Étienne, and on 10 June 1190 they renounced by charter their hereditary rights in favor of Saint-Cyr. In 1191 they bought Tonnerre of Agnes's mother, Mathilde of Burgundy.[2]
