Renaud (Ragenold) was the Son of the Viking Rognvald (Reinald) who was one of the Norse invaders who chose to remain in Burgundy.
Ragenold, fl. 923-5, Viking raider of France.
A Norse leader, Ragenold (Ragenoldus, princeps Nordmannorum), who was active in France during the period 923-5 [Flodoard, Annales, s.a. 923-5, 15-6, 24-6, 29], has sometimes been identified with count Ragenold/Renuad of Roucy. The identification was proposed by Melleville [Melleville (1859), 201-3] and accepted by Moranvillé [Moranvillé (1922), 11-15]. Chaume preferred to see the Viking Ragenold as the father of Renaud of Roucy (see below). As indicated in some of the conjectures below, a number of authors reject this identification and see him as a member of the French nobility. Against the identification, there is the long gap between the entries of 925 and 944 in Flodoard's annals, suggesting that it is a different man who appears in 944. However, even though the Ragenold of 944 and later is not explicitly identified as a Norse invader, his actions (such as pillaging monasteries) sometimes suggest that he was. This identification is possible, but uncertain.

Renaud married Albreda, the daughter of Giselbert (Gilbert) Count of Hainault, Duke of Lorraine and Gerberga of Saxony, a direct descendant of The Holy Roman Emperors Lothiar and Charles the Bald, and Charlemagne. They were married circa 945 and had the following children:
* Gilbert De Roucy
* Ermetrude de Roucy, wife of Othon Guillaume de Bourgogne
* Unknown daughter, wife of Fromond of Sens
* Bruno, Bishop of Langres

Renaud became the military chief of Reims after the restoration of Artald of Reims, built a fort at Roucy and supported young King Lothair of France in the expedition at Aquitaine and the siege of Poitiers, who later made Renaud the Count of Roucy.

Renaud died in 10 May 967 and was buried at the Abbey of Saint-Remi, according to Wikipedia.
