[1] He was the son of Jean d'Estouteville (died 1356), lord of Torcy[2] and Estoutemont, and his wife Jeanne de Fiennes.
He took the oath of fidelity to King Charles VI on 23 June 1392 at Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
He appointed a deputy to represent him at the Council of Pisa of 1409 which elected the antipope Alexander V. When King Henry V of England took Fécamp, during the Hundred Years' War, Estold refused to take the oath of loyalty to him, but retired to his castle at Fontaine-le-Bourg.
The property of Fécamp Abbey situate in England was then confiscated and re-granted by charter to Thomas Langley, Bishop of Durham.
He died on 13 October 1423[5] and is buried in the nave of the abbey church of Fécamp.
