Raynald's origins are obscure; Du Cange believed he was from Châtillon-sur-Loire,[1] but according to Jean Richard, he was a son of Hervé II of Donzy, and he inherited Châtillon-sur-Loing sometime before joining the Second Crusade in 1147. In the east, he entered the service of Constance of Antioch, whose first husband had died in 1149. She married Raynald in secret in 1153, without consulting her first cousin and liege lord, Baldwin III of Jerusalem. Neither King Baldwin nor Aimery of Limoges, the Latin Patriarch of Antioch, approved of Constance's choice of a husband of such low birth. With Constance he had a daughter, Agnes of Châtillon, in 1154 who later married the Hungarian Prince Béla III.
Renaud married Constance of Antioch, daughter of Boémond II Prince of Antioch and Alix de Rethel, in 1126.160 (Constance of Antioch was born in 1127 in Antioch and died in 1163 in Antioch.)
