 Raynald was the younger son of Hervé II , Lord of <unk> . In older historiography , Raynald was described as the son of Geoffrey , Count of <unk> , but in 1989 Jean Richard demonstrated Raynald 's kinship with the Lords of <unk> . They were influential noblemen in the Duchy of Burgundy , claiming the <unk> ( a family of Roman senators ) as their ancestors .
