; Per Genealogics:
     "Some uncertainty as to mothers of children
     "Svjatoslav was the son of Igor, Grand Duke of Kiev, and his wife Olga. His father died when he was only a child and his mother, the formidable Olga, ruled Kiev until he was old enough to take charge. He then defeated the Khazars, the Ossetians and the Circassians. However in 968, while he was away from Kiev, he almost lost his home base when the Pechenegs attacked it.
     "Having extended his territories into the Balkans, in 969 he was threatened by the Byzantines who wanted him to withdraw. When he attacked the Byzantine empire he was defeated and the treaty that followed forced him to return to Kiev. However in 971 he returned and this time was more successful, almost reaching Constantinople. The emperor bought him off with gifts, and Svjatoslav also asked for gifts to be given to the families of the men who had died in the battles.
     "Having made his peace with the emperor he returned home. However the people of Pereyaslavets warned the Pechenegs that Svjatoslav was on his way with only a small company of men. Returning by boat, Svjatoslav approached some rapids; as it was not possible to pass through he decided to winter there. When Svjatoslav again approached the rapids in the spring of 972 the Pechenegs, waiting for him, attacked and killed him. They made a cup of his head, putting metal around the forehead, and drank from it."8

; Per Med Lands:
     "SVIATOSLAV, son of IGOR [Ingvar] of Kiev & his wife Olga --- ([935/40]-killed in battle [Mar/May] 972). The De administrando imperio names "Sphendosthlabus Ingor Russiæ principis filius"[49]. The Primary Chronicle names Sviatoslav as son of Olga[50]. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult when the De administrando imperio was compiled, before the death of Emperor Konstantinos VII in 959. According to the Primary Chronicle he "was but a child" in 946[51]. At an early age, Sviatoslav´s father appears to have established him in the northern town of Gorodishche, which indicates a claim to overlordship of the northern Scandinavian settlements. The place is called "Nemogardas" in the De administrando imperio[52], which could be a corruption of Novgorod. He succeeded his father as SVIATOSLAV I Grand Prince of Kiev, under the regency of his mother. Kiev was besieged by the Pechenegs in 962[53]. Ruling alone by the mid-960s, Prince Sviatoslav launched a major attack against the Khazars in 965, using the Pechenegs as allies[54]. He conquered the entire middle Volga area and took control of the commercial centres of Sarkel and Ityl[55]. Sviatoslav invaded the territory of the Bulgars along the Danube in 967, having been invited to do so by Emperor Nikephoros Phokas, and established a base at Pereiaslavets on the Danube delta[56]. It is not clear whether Pereiaslavets was the same place as Preslava, the Bulgarian capital, as Franklin & Shepard appear to assume[57], or a different place which appears to be the basis on which Fine writes[58]. Zonaras records that "Borises…Bulgarorum rex" reconquered Preslav but was defeated by "Sphendosthlavus Russorum dux"[59]. Faced with the perceived threat of invasion by Sviatoslav, Emperor Ioannes Tzimisces marched into Bulgaria, captured the capital, and negotiated Sviatoslav's withdrawal. During Sviatoslav's absence in Bulgaria, the Pechenegs raided as far as Kiev. Fine points out that according to the Primary Chronicle the Bulgarians summoned the Pechenegs to attack Kiev, without help from Byzantium[60]. The Primary Chronicle records that, on Sviatoslav´s return journey to Kiev while crossing the Dnieper river in Spring 972, he was attacked and killed by the Pecheneg leader Kuria who reputedly made his skull into a ceremonial cup covered with gold[61]. This represents a curious echo of the report in Paulus Diaconus according to which the skull of Alboin King of the Lombards in Pannonia was allegedly made into a drinking cup after he was defeated and killed by Cunimund King of the Gepids in 567[62].
     "m (before [960]) --- [of Hungary], daughter of [TORMAS Prince of Hungary & his wife ---]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. She was known as PREDSLAVA in Russia. Europäische Stammtafeln[63] suggests that Predslava was the possible daughter of Tormas but the basis for this speculation is not known. Her marriage date is estimated from the estimated date of birth of her son.

He was the first of the great conquering princes. In 965 he defeated the Khazars on the lower Volga and proceeded to establish a Russian state in place of the Khazar Empire. Called to the Balkans to aid the Greek emperor against the powerful Bulgars, he carried on a successful campaign (967) and decided to establish himself on the lower Danube. At this time his power extended from Novgorod in the north to the Danube in the southwest and to the lower Volga in the southeast. He was forced to abandon Bulgaria in order to resist the Patzinaks (Pechenegs), who had entered southern Russia from the east and were threatening Kiev. Having repulsed them (968), Sviatoslav returned to Bulgaria, but he was no more welcome to the Greeks than were the Bulgars. In 971 he was defeated and driven out by the Emperor John Tzimisces. Sviatoslav was defeated and killed by the Patzinaks on his way back to Kiev (972). between 964 and 972.9

     ORIGINAL NAME     Erik Segersäll
     BIRTH     unknown
     DEATH     995
     King of Sweden. Of the Upsala Dynasty, a collective name used here for the ancient line of Swealand rulers, he may have been King Eric V and his son King Olaf V, but they have never been counted thus officially. An Eric (IV) son of another Olaf, earlier in his century, and a disputed Eric (III) Weatherhat, dead in 882, may have been his more immediate namesake predecessors. Born approximately 945 he is the first king generally named by most historians to head an unbroken list of factually existing kings of Sweden. His name Eric is one of the very oldest still common among the Swedes, Day (Dag), that of a legendary 4th century ruler, being the oldest of all. Eric was victorious in that, when he died in 995, he is said to have also conquered and ruled Denmark for a time, though the Danes do not agree with the claim. He did win a great battle against a rebel nephew, Beorn the Strident-and-Strong (Styrbjörn Starke), on the Fyris Fields near Upsala. His queen was Gunnilda Swiatoslawa, a Polish princess and sister of Boleslaw I. Many modern historians have become increasingly convinced that the legendary Queen Sigrid the Haughty actually was the same person as Gunnilda, not a first consort of Eric's. By Eric the queen (whatever her name was) had the future King Olaf Scotking and probably a daughter Holmfrid. After his death she went on to marry Denmark's King Sweyn I, there becoming the mother of England's future King Canute the Great and of Princess Estrith Margaret who founded a new royal Danish dynasty. Most experts have agreed that Eric's grave is somewhere among the smaller tumuli at Old Upsala, a community which still was hanging on as the seat of the Norse religion of all of northern Europe when he died.

     "ERIK, son of [OLOF Erikson King of Sweden] & his wife --- (-Uppsala [994/95]). Snorre names "Eirik the Victorious and Olaf, the father of Styrbjorn" as the sons of Bjorn Eriksson[23]. According to Saxo Grammaticus[24], Erik was the son of Olof and deposed his cousin Styrbjörn in [984/85], succeeding as ERIK "Segersäll/the Victorious" King of Sweden. Adam of Bremen records that "rex Sueonum Hericus" invaded Denmark and expelled King Svend[25]. He also records that King Erik was converted to Christianity and baptised in Denmark but may have relapsed into paganism on returning to Sweden[26]. According to Snorre, he died "in a sickbed at Uppsala 10 years after the death of Styrbjörn"[27], and in another passage that his wife was a widow in 994[28].
     "m (before [985]) as her first husband, SIGRID "Storråda/the Haughty", daughter of "Skoglar" TOSTE & his wife ---. Snorre names Sigrid as daughter of "Skoglar" Toste and refers to her marriage to "the Swedish king, Eirik the Victorious"[29]. Saxo Grammaticus names "Syritha" as mother of "Erici filius Olavus"[30]. The Fagrskinna names Sigrid, mother of King Olof, as daughter of Skoglar-Tosta[31]. Morkinskinna names "Sigridr en stórráda" as mother of “the lady Ástrídr…sister of two kings, Knútr the Great and Óláfr the Swede” who married “Jarl Úlfr sprakaleggr”[32]. According to Snorre[33], she was a widow in 994. She married secondly ([1000]) Svend I "Tveskæg/Forkbeard" King of Denmark. Adam of Bremen records the marriage of Svend King of Denmark and "Herici relictam, matrem Olaph"[34]. If it is correct that Sigrid was the mother of Olav, it necessarily places her first marriage to King Erik before [985] at the latest, assuming that King Olof's daughter Ingigerd was born in [1000/03] as shown below."

; Per Med Lands:
     "SVEND Haraldsen, son of HARALD I "Blåtand/Bluetooth" King of Denmark & his [first wife Gunhild ---] ([960]-Gainsborough, Lincolnshire 3 Feb 1014, bur in England, later removed to Roskilde Cathedral). Adam of Bremen names "Suein Otto, filius magni Haroldi regis Danorum" when recording that he deposed and expelled his father[180]. Converted to Christianity with his father, he was baptised "OTTO SVEND" in honour of Emperor Otto[181]. Snorre records that "Svein, King Harald's son" rebelled after his father refused to share the kingdom with him, but was forced to flee, although his father had been mortally wounded and Svend was chosen as king after he died[182]. He rebelled against his father, who had refused to divide the kingdom with him, and forced him to flee to Jomsburg (now Wolin)[183], succeeding in [early 987] as SVEND I "Tveskæg/Forkbeard" King of Denmark. King Svend immediately set about restoring the heathen religion in Denmark[184]. Adam of Bremen records that King Svend persecuted Christians in Denmark[185]. Sigvaldi Jarl at Jomsborg in Vindland captured King Svend and took him to Jomsborg, threatening to deliver him into the hands of the Wends unless he made peace[186]. Adam of Bremen records that "rex Sueonum Hericus" invaded Denmark and expelled King Svend, who was eventually received by "rex Scotthorum" with whom he stayed seven years until the death of King Erik, after which he returned to Denmark after 14 years exile[187], although his period of absence appears exaggerated. King Svend first attacked England in 994, in the company of Olav Tryggveson (who succeeded in [995] as Olav I King of Norway). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "came Anlaf and Swein to London with ninety-four ships and kept up an unceasing attack on the city" 8 Sep 994[188]. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "the isle of Man was devastated by Swain son of Harold" in 994[189]. At that time, Stenton suggests that there was some support to declare Svend as king of England from those who despaired of the government of King Æthelred "the Unready"[190]. Adam of Bremen records that Olof King of Sweden invaded Denmark and expelled King Svend, but allowed him to return to his kingdom because "matrem suam habuerit"[191]. Olav I King of Norway attempted to invade Denmark but was defeated by King Svend in a naval battle "inter Sconiam et Seland", during which King Olav was drowned, after which Svend imposed himself as king of Norway[192]. Danish raids on England intensified after King Æthelred ordered the massacre of Danes in England 13 Nov 1002, which included the death of King Svend's sister Gunhild sister of King Svend. A full-scale Danish invasion came in 1013 and by the end of the year Svend had become SVEIN de facto King of England. King Æthelred fled to Normandy after Christmas 1013[193], but after Svend's death in Feb 1014 he was invited back, but on condition he improve his rule. Adam of Bremen records that King Svend held England for only a short time before he died[194]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Danamarchæ...regique Sveno” invaded England but died “apud Lundoniam”, was buried “apud Danamarcham”, and succeeded by “filius eius...Chunutus” who launched a new invasion with “Lacman equidem Suauorum et Olavum Noricorum”[195].
     "m firstly ([988/90]) --- (-before [1000]). The name and identity of King Svend's first wife is uncertain, although she seems to have been known as GUNHILD in Denmark. According to Snorre, Gunhild died before King Svend's second marriage but no precise date is given[196]. Two possibilities emerge from the primary sources:
     (1) --- of Poland, daughter of MIESZKO I Prince of Poland & his second wife Dobrava [Dobroslawa] of Bohemia. The sole authority for this appears to be Thietmar who refers to the mother of "filiis Suenni" as "Miseconis filia ducis, soror Bolizlavi successori eius", commenting that "long exiled by her husband…this woman suffered no small amount of controversy" although this comment is in no way explained[197].
     (2) --- of the Wends, daughter of BURISLAV King of the Wends & his wife ---. Snorre names "Geira, Gunhild and Astrid" as the three daughters of "in Vindland…a king called Burizleif"[198]. In a later passage, he records Gunhild's marriage to Svend arranged as part of the peace deal brokered with the Wends by Sigvaldi (Jarl at Jomsborg) who was already married to another daughter of King Burizleif[199].

     "The matter is further complicated by the secondary sources. Brenner[200] names King Svend's first wife "Gunhild of Poland", stating that she was the widow of Erik "Segersäll/the Victorious" King of Sweden, which appears to confuse her with King Svend's second wife Sigrid (see below). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[201], King Svend had a single wife "Gunhild of Poland", widow of King Erik of Sweden. In another table, Europäische Stammtafeln[202] further confuses the issue by naming the second wife of King Erik of Sweden and King Svend as "Šwi?tos?awa [Gunhild] of Poland" (although the basis for proposing this Polish name is not known) and the first wife of King Erik as Sigrid Storrada.
     "The only safe conclusions are: firstly, that King Svend did marry before marrying Sigrid, as a first marriage at the age of about 35 after the death of Sigrid's first husband seems improbable; and secondly, that his first wife was probably of Slavic origin from the southern Baltic coastal area, confusion in the primary sources between Polish and Wendish in this context being understandable. According to Ronay[203], King Svend divorced his first wife who returned to Poland taking her son Knud with her, but he cites no primary source to support this statement.
     "m secondly ([1000]) SIGRID “Storråda/the Haughty”, widow of ERIK “Segersäll/the Victorious” King of Sweden, daughter of SKOGAR-Toste, a Swedish noble & his wife ---. There appears to be unanimity among the primary sources about the identity of King Svend's second wife. Snorre records the second marriage of King Svend with "Sigrid the Haughty, a daughter of Skoglartoste and mother of the Swedish king Olaf"[204]. Adam of Bremen records the marriage of Svend King of Denmark and "Herici relictam, matrem Olaph"[205]. The Fagrskinna names Sigrid, mother of King Olof, as daughter of Skoglar-Tosta[206]. Morkinskinna names "Sigridr en stórráda" as mother of “the lady Ástrídr…sister of two kings, Knútr the Great and Óláfr the Swede” who married “Jarl Úlfr sprakaleggr”[207]. Saxo Grammaticus states that King Svend married "Syritha" after she was unsuccessfully wooed by Olav I King of Norway, and also refers to Olof King of Sweden as King Svend's stepson[208].
     "Mistress (1): [AESA], daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified."

     Wikikpedia identified "Sigrid the Haughty" (Sigríð Storråda) as the wife of Eriak and of Svend I, but states that it is unclear as to whether she was real, a mythical amalgamation of several women, or completely fictional. Wikipedia cites as an example of modern scholarchip arguing that Sigrid is apocryphal: Birgitta Fritz (2004), "Sigrid Storråda", Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon, 32: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/sbl/Presentation.aspx?id=5911 .
Conclusion: Burislaw of the Wends is known to have many links to the Scandinavian royal houses. His 2nd wife was the widow of Styrbjorn of Sweden and a dau. of Haral Bluetooth, Kingo Denmark. As his widow, she married Olav I king of Norway. Burislaw's dau. Gunhild Burislawsdatter (a 2nd Gunhild) married two important Norwegian Jarls. For the moment I have two women as wives of Svend I, one Gunhild|Swjatoslawa|Sygryda (dau. of Mieszko I), and a second Gunhild (dau. of Burislaw of the Wends and his 1st unnamed wife). However, I have assigned the children shown as the off-spring by Svend's marriage to a Gunhild/Sigurd to Gunhild, dau. of Burislaw. GA Vaut.15,13,16,12,17,18,19,20

     ; NB: Since I first developed this particular line (in the 1990's), opinion regarding the parents of Adelaide/Aelis, wife of Hugues Capet, has changed.
I. Genealogics now says "Her parentage is not known. It is now established that she was not the daughter of Guillaume I-III, duc d'Aquitaine." But Genealogics gives no further information.
Genealogics cites: Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels, Fürstliche Häuser. 1961.
II. Med Lands now states:
     "There is uncertainty about the origin of Adelais, wife of Hugues Capet. The 11th century Translatio S. Maglorii et aliorum names "Adelaide…filia Pictavorum comitis, de progenie Caroli Magni" as the wife of "Hugone, Francorum duce", clarifying that the latter refers to Hugues "Capet" King of France when it names "Roberto…rege, memorati ducis filio"[397]. This Poitevin origin is also suggested by Richer who records that King Robert "ob nepotem suum Wilelmum" besieged "in Aquitania…Hildebertum"[398]. It is assumed that such a relationship between King Robert and Duke Guillaume would be through the king's mother as no family connection through his father has been established. The Chronicle of Ademar de Chabannes, on the other hand, recounts the dispute between "Dux Aquitanorum Willelmus" and King Hugues, as well as the subsequent peace agreed between the parties in 990, without mentioning that the duke was the king's brother-in-law[399], all the more surprising if the Poitevin origin is correct as Ademar concentrates on Poitevin affairs and also includes genealogical details in his narrative. Another possible ancestry is suggested by Helgaud's Vita Roberti Regis which names "Rex Francorum Rotbertus…patre Hugone, matre Adhelaide", specifying that "ab Ausonis partibus descenderat"[400]. Settipani equates "Ausonia" with Rome or Italy[401], although no other reference to an Italian origin for Adelais has yet been identified. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the mother of "rex Francorum Robertus" as "superiorem regum Anglie soror"[402] but it is difficult to see to whom this could refer or how it could be correct. The paucity of references in contemporary sources to the wife of Hugues Capet and her origin contrasts sharply with the frequent references to his mother and to the wives of his son King Robert I. This suggests that the background of Queen Adelais may have been obscure and that her family had little political influence at the time, although this would be surprising as her husband was already enjoying a position of some power at the Carolingian court at the time of his marriage. Maybe her family was prominent when the couple married but suffered a subsequent decline by the time her husband was elected king. Nevertheless, an Aquitainian marriage would have fitted the political circumstances of the time. After several decades of dispute between the Capet and Poitou families, a permanent peace appears to have been established from about the time the marriage took place[403]."

     "GERLOC (-after 969). Guillaume de Jumièges records that Rollo captured “Baiocasensem urbem” [Bayeux] along with "nobilissimam puellam...Popam filiam...Berengarii illustris viri" whom he married “more Danico” and by whom he had “Willelmum...filiamque...Gerloc”[70].

"Guillelmi comitis, Adeleidis comitisse" subscribed a charter recording a donation to Cluny dated [963][74]. Lothaire King of France granted her 14 Oct 962 the right to dispose of extensive property in Poitiers, la Cour de Faye, this grant effectively putting an end to the long dispute between her husband and the family of Hugues "Capet". She used the property to found the Monastery of Sainte-Trinité[75].

; Per Genealogics:
     “Guillaume I-III, called 'Towhead' ('Tête d'étoupe') from the colour of his hair, was born in Poitiers about 900, the son of Ebalus Mancer, comte de Poitou and Aremburgis. He claimed the duchy of Aquitaine on his father's death, but the royal chancery did not recognise his ducal title until the year before his own death. He was 'count of the duchy of Aquitaine' from 959 and duke of Aquitaine from 962 to his death. He was also the count of Poitou (as Guillaume I) from 935 and count of Auvergne from 950. The primary sources for his reign are Ademar de Chabannes, Dudo of Saint-Quentin, and Guillaume of Jumièges.
     “In 935 Guillaume married Gerloc of Normandy, daughter of Rollo, the Viking leader to whom Charles 'the Simple' had given Normandy in 911. Rollo had died in 932. Guillaume and Gerloc (renamed Adele) had a son and heir Guillaume who would have progeny.
     “Shortly after the death of King Raoul of France in 936, Guillaume was compelled to forfeit some land to Hugues 'the Great', duke of The Franks, comte de Paris by Raoul's successor Louis IV 'd'Outremer'. He did it with grace, but his relationship with Hugues thenceforward deteriorated. In 950 Hugues was granted the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine. He tried to conquer Aquitaine with Louis' assistance, but Guillaume defeated them. Lothar I, Louis' successor as king of France, feared the power of Guillaume. In August 955 Lothar joined Hugues to besiege Poitiers, which resisted successfully. Guillaume, however, gave battle and was routed.
     “After the death of Hugues in 956, his son Hugues Capet was named duke of Aquitaine, but he never tried to take up his fief, as Guillaume became reconciled with Lothar. Guillaume was given the abbey of Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand, which remained in his house after his death. He also built a library in the palace of Poitiers.
     “Guillaume retired to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers and left the government to his son Guillaume II-IV. He died at Poitiers on 3 April 963.”.5 GAV-27 EDV-28 GKJ-29.

     "GUILLAUME de Poitou, son of EBALUS "Mancer" Comte de Poitou & his [second wife Emillane ---] ([900]-Poitiers 3 Apr 963, bur Saint-Cyprien). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Willelmus…cognomento Caput stupe" as one of the two sons of "Eblo duce", specifying that he was "Arvernis, Vallatis, Lemovice et Pictavis comes…dux Aquitaniæ"[352]. The Chronico Comitum Pictaviæ names "Willelmum Caput-stupæ" as son of "Ebles Dux Aquitaniæ et Pictaviæ Comes" & his wife Adellia[353]. Ademar names "Willelmum Caputstupæ" as son of Eble and "Adelam, filiam Rosi Rotomagensis", but evidently confuses the latter with Guillaume's own wife[354]. He succeeded his father as GUILLAUME I “Tête d'Etoupes/Caput-stupæ” Comte de Poitou. He was appointed lay abbot of Saint-Hilaire-de-Poitiers in Jan 942[355]. From the start of his reign, his possession of Poitou was disputed by Hugues "le Grand" Duc des Francs [Capet][356]. "Guillelmus comes vel abba summi pontificis domni nostri Hylarii" donated property "in pago Pictavo in viccaria Pictavis" to the church of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers by charter dated Jun 941 or 942[357]. Louis IV King of France confirmed the property of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers, in the presence of "Guillelmus comes et marchio et frater eius Ebolus atque Rotgarius comes", by charter dated 5 Jan 942[358]. Comte d'Auvergne et de Limoges 955. Around this same time, Lothaire King of France extended the authority of Comte Guillaume over the whole of Aquitaine. Although known to history as GUILLAUME III Duke of Aquitaine, charters record him as "Guillelmus…Aquitanici ducatus comes"[359] and "Guillelmus…Pictavensium sive Lemovicensium necne et Arvernensium comes insuper etiam Aquitainiæ comes palati"[360] as well as "Willelmi duci Aquitanorum cognomento Caput-Stupæ"[361]. He abdicated in 962, and became a monk at Saint-Cyprien de Poitiers[362]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Willelmo Capite stupæ" was buried "apud ecclesiam Sancti Cypriani"[363].
     "m ([935]) ADELA [Gerloc] de Normandie, daughter of ROBERT I [Rollo] Comte [de Normandie] & his [second] wife Popa [de Bayeux] (-after 969).

Robert of Torigny also names "Willermum Longum Spatam et Gerloch" as children of "Rollo dux Northmannorum" and Poppa[365].

The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the marriage of "filius Ranulfi Eblus" and "Adelam filiam Rosi Rotomagensis"[367]. The Chronico Richardi Pictavensis also records that "Heblus…Pictavorum Comes et Dux Aquitaniæ duxit Adelam filiam Rolli Rothomagensis"[368]. This information is contradicted by other sources, is difficult to sustain from a chronological point of view, and is presumably in error. Guillaume of Jumièges records the marriage of “dux...sororem eius...Gerlco” and "Willelmus Pictavensis comes”[369]. She adopted the name ADELA when baptised.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Gersende was born about 1180, the daughter of Rainon I de Sabran dit du Caylar, seigneur du Caylar et d'Ansouis, and Garsinde 'comtesse' de Forcalquier, daughter of Guillem IV de Forcalquier. She was named after her mother, who was the heiress of Guillem IV, comte de Forcalquier, but predeceased him. Gersende therefore inherited Forcalquier from her grandfather. She was only thirteen years of age when in 1193 her grandfather Guillem IV and Alfonso II 'the Chaste', king of Aragón, signed the Treaty of Aix whereby Gersende would inherit Guillem's county and would marry the king's second son Alfonso, who was in line to become count of Provence (which he did in 1195 on his father's death). The marriage took place at Aix-en-Provence in July 1193. Gersende and Alfonso had a son Raimund Berengar V and daughter Gersinde who would both have progeny.
     "Gersende was countess of Provence as the wife of Alfonso II from 1195 and countess of Forcalquier in her own right from 1209. She brought Forcalquier to the house of Barcelona and united it to Provence. She was also a patron of Occitan literature, especially the troubadours, and herself wrote some lyric poetry and is counted among the trobairitz as _Gersende de Proensa or Proença._ She was, in the words of her most recent editors, 'one of the most powerful women in Occitan history'.
     "In 1209 both her grandfather Guillem IV and her husband Alfonso died and Gersende became the natural guardian of their heir, her son Raimund Berengar V. Initially her brother-in-law Pedro II, king of Aragón, assigned the regency of Provence to his uncle Sancho, but when Pedro died in 1213, Sancho became regent of Aragón and passed Provence and Forcalquier to his son Nuño Sánchez. Dissension broke out between the Catalans and the partisans of the countess, who accused Nuño of attempting to supplant Raimund Berengar V in the county. The Provençal aristocracy originally took advantage of the situation for their own ambitious ends, but eventually they lined up behind Gersende and removed Nuño, who returned to Catalonia. The regency was passed to Gersende and a regency council was established consisting of the native nobles.
     "It was probably during her tenure as regent that Gersende became the focus of a literary circle of poets, though the _vida_ (brief prose biography, written in Occitan, of a troubadour or trobairitz) of Elias de Barjols refers to his patron as Alfonso. There is a _tenso_ (a style of Occitan song favoured by the troubadours) between a _bona dompna_ (good lady), identified in one chansonnier as _la contessa de Proessa,_ and an anonymous troubadour. The two _coblas_ (stanzas) of the exchange are found in two different orders in the two chansonniers that preserve them. It cannot be known therefore who spoke first, but the woman's half begins _Vos q'em semblatz dels corals amadors_ ('You're so well-suited as a lover'. In the poem the countess declares her love for her interlocutor, who then responds courteously but carefully. Under some interpretations the troubadour is Gui de Cavaillon, whose _vida_ repeats the rumour (probably unfounded) that he was Gersende's lover. Gui, however, was at the Provençal court between 1200 and 1209, pushing the date of the exchange forward a little. Elias de Barjols apparently 'fell in love' with her as a widow and wrote songs about her 'for the rest of his life', until he entered a monastery. Raimon Vidal also praised her renowned patronage of troubadours.
     "In 1220 Guillaume de Sabran, who claimed Forcalquier and had been in revolt in the region of Sisteron, was neutralised in part through the mediation of the archbishop of Aix, Bermond le Cornu. By 1217 or 1220 Gersende had finally ceded Forcalquier to her son and handed the reins of government over, retiring to the monastery of La Celle in 1222 and 1225.
     "Garsende is believed to have died about 1242, but she may have been alive as late as 1257, when a certain woman of that name made a donation to a church of St. Jean on the condition that three priests be kept to pray for her soul and that of her husband."4

; Per Med Lands: "RAYMOND de Bourgogne ([1070]-Grajal 13/20 Sep 1107, bur Santiago de Compostela, Cathedral Santiago el Mayor). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raymundem in Hispania comitem" as brother of "Hugo…Bisuntinensis archiepiscopus", when recording the latter's appointment as archbishop[97], although in a later passage the same source records "comitis Raymundi" as "fratris comitis Pontii de Tolosa"[98] which is inconsistent with other sources. "Wilelmus comes Burgundie" names "Rainaldi et Raimundi filiorum meorum" in his donation to Cluny dated [1086][99]. "Raymundus…Burgundie comes filius Willermi…comitis" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon by charter dated to [1087/92] subscribed by "Hugonis archiepiscopi Bisuntini fratris mei, Stephani comitis fratris mei"[100]. Comte d'Amous. He joined the expedition of the Eudes I Duke of Burgundy to Spain in 1086/87, following a call from the abbey of Cluny to fight "the infidel"[101]. Reilly suggests that he was betrothed after the failure to capture Tudela in Summer 1087, when he speculates that the Burgundians would have visited the court of Castile[102]. Raymond remained in Castile following his betrothal to Infanta Urraca. "Raymondus gener regis" confirmed the donation by "Adefonsus…Hispaniarum rex…cum coniuge mea Constantia regina" of property to the monastery of San Salvador de Oña by charter dated 1 May 1092[103]. Conde de Galicia y Coimbra [before 1093], his father-in-law transferred the newly acquired cities of Lisbon, Santarém and Cintra to him in May 1093. Governor of the city of Toledo. He made a mutual pact [Dec 1094/Jul 1095] with Henri de Bourgogne, Conde de Portugal, pledging to grant him Toledo (or in default, Galicia) in return for his support in securing Castile and León for Raimond[104]. Conde de Grajal Jan 1098[105]. "Raimundus comes frater comitis Stephani" donated property to Cluny by charter dated [1100][106]. He established his principal stronghold in the castle of Grajal in 1102[107]. By this time, Raymond had acquired a commanding position in Castile as husband of the heir presumptive to the throne. A funeral elegy of "domnus Raymundus comes Hispanie qui de stirpe comitum Burgundie ortus" is recorded in the cartulary of Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon in a charter dated 20 Sep 1107 which names "Hugo frater suus Bisuntinus archiepiscopus"[108]. m (betrothed [Summer 1087], Toledo [1 May 1092/Jan 1093]) as her first husband, Infanta doña URRACA de Castilla y León, daughter of ALFONSO VI King of Castile and León & his third wife Constance de Bourgogne [Capet] (late 1080[109]-Saldaña 8 Mar 1126, bur León, Monastery of San Isidoro).

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Raymond of Burgundy (c. 1070 – 24 May 1107) was the ruler of Galicia from about 1090 until his death. He was the fourth son of Count William I of Burgundy and Stephanie. He married Urraca, future queen of León, and was the father of the future Alfonso VII.
     "When Raymond and his cousin, Henry of Burgundy, first arrived in Iberia is uncertain, but it probably was with the army of Duke Odo I of Burgundy in 1086. In April 1087, the army abandoned the siege of Tudela. While most of the army returned home, Odo and his retinue went west. By 21 July 1087 they were probably at Burgos, at the court of King Alfonso VI of León and Castile, and by 5 August he was in the capital city of León. There Odo most likely arranged Raymond's marriage to Alfonso's heiress, Urraca. All surviving charters which seem to place Raymond in Spain before 1087 are either mis-dated or interpolated.[1]
     "By his marriage Raymond received as dowry the government of the Kingdom of Galicia (which included the County of Portugal and the County of Coimbra),[2] although shortly after, in 1095, Alfonso VI gave the County of Portugal and the County of Coimbra to Henry of Burgundy, father of the first Portuguese King Afonso Henriques of Portugal, basing it in Bracara Augusta (nowadays Braga). During his government he was titled Count, Dominus, Prince, Emperor and Consul of Galicia or of the Galicians, exercising near absolute power in his domains ("in urbe Gallecia regnante Comite Raymundus"): "serenissimus totius Gallecie comes", "totius Gallecie Senior et Dominus", "totius Gallecie Consul", "totius Gallecie Princeps", "totius Gallecie Imperator".[3]
     "He was father of Alfonso VII of León and Castile (1104/1105–1157), already crowned king of Galicia in 1111, while his brother later became Pope Callixtus II.

     Count of Barcelona, King of Aragon from 1150 to 1162. Son of Ramon III Berenger and Douce of Provence, hence he inherited Barcelona on his father's death. He was married to Petronilla de Aragon on August 11, 1137 when she was an infant of one or two years old. Her father, Ramiro II de Aragon "The Monk" had preferred the duties of a monk to the duties of a king, had been forced out of seclusion to rule, marry and produce an heir, which he did. Once he married her to Raymond, he gave all rights to Aragon to Raymond, even if Petronilla would die, and returned to his monastery for the duration of his life. Raymond took part in the Second Crusade from 1147 to 1149, when the recapture of Catalonia Spain from the Moors was complete. Raymond was able to keep Aragon from any submission to Castile, as his sister, Beregaria had married Alfonso VII, King of Leon and Castile. When Raymond died at Borgo San Dalmazzo, his eldest son inherited Barcelona, and the year after, Petronilla abdicated, leaving Aragon to their son, Ramon Berenguer, as well. Ramon renamed himself Alfonso II of Aragon. Bio by: Anne Shurtleff Stevens

; Per Genealogics:
     "Raymund Berengar IV was born about 1113, the son of Ramon Berenguer III 'el Grande', conde de Barcelona, Provence and Carcassonne, and Aldonza/Doulce/Dulcia de Gevaudan, heiress of Provence. He is most remembered for achieving the union between Aragón and Catalonia.
     "He inherited the county of Barcelona from his father on 19 August 1131. On 11 August 1137 in Huesca he was betrothed to the infant Petronella of Aragón, aged one at the time. Her father. Ramiro II 'the Monk', king of Aragón, who sought Barcelona's aid against Alfonso VII of Castile, abdicated on 13 November that same year, leaving his kingdom to Raymund Berengar. Raymund essentially became ruler of Aragón, although he was never king himself, but instead count of Barcelona and prince of the kingdom of Aragón. He was the last Catalan ruler to use the title of Count as his first; starting with his son Alfonso II of Aragón the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, as kings of Aragón.
     "The treaty between Raymund Berengar and his father-in-law stipulated that their descendants would rule jointly over both realms. Even should Petronella die before the marriage could be consummated, Raymond would still inherit the title of king of Aragón. Both realms would preserve laws, institutions and autonomy, remaining legally distinct but federated in a dynastic union under one ruling House. Historians consider this arrangement the political masterstroke of the Hispanic Middle Ages. Both realms gained greater strength and security and Aragón got its much needed outlet to the sea. On the other hand, formation of a new political entity in the northeast at a time when Portugal seceded from Castile in the west gave more balance to the Christian kingdoms on the peninsula.
     "Raymund successfully pulled Aragón out of its pledged submission to Castile, aided no doubt by the beauty and charm of his sister Berenguela, wife of Alfonso VII, king of Castile and León, for which she was well-known in her time. After that, in the middle years of his rule, his attention turned to campaigns against the Moors. In 1147 he helped Castile to conquer Almeria. In 1148 he turned against the lands of the Almoravid taifa kingdom of Valencia and Murcia, capturing Tortosa and, the next year, Fraga, Lleida and Mequinenza in the confluence of the Segre, Cinca and Ebro. The _Reconquista_ of the present Catalonia was complete.
     "Raymund also campaigned in Provence, helping his brother Berenguer Ramon I, comte de Provence, vicomte de Rodez de Gevaudan, and his infant nephew Raymond Berengar V against the counts of Toulouse. During the minority of Raymond Berengar V, Raymund Berengar also acted as the regent of Provence (between 1144 and 1157).
     "In 1151 Raymund signed the Treaty of Tudilén with Alfonso VII of León. The treaty defined the zones of conquest in Andalusia in order to prevent the two rulers from coming into conflict.
     "In the same year he married Petronella, then aged 15, and queen of Aragón following the death of her father in 1147. They had at least four children, of whom three would have progeny. By an unknown mistress he had a son Ramon Berenguer, who would become abbot of Montearagon and archbishop of Narbonne.
     "Also in 1151, Raymund founded and endowed the royal monastery of Poblet. In 1154 he accepted the regency of Gaston V of Béarn in return for the Béarnese nobles rendering him homage at Canfranc, thus uniting that small principality with the growing Aragónese empire.
     "Raymund died on 8 August 1162 in Borgo San Dalmazzo, Piedmont, Italy, leaving the title of Count of Barcelona to his eldest son Raymound Berengar, then not yet five. In the following year Raymund inherited the title of King of Aragón following the abdication of his mother Petronella of Aragón, and in compliment to the Aragónese, his name was changed to Alfonso II of Aragón and Alfonso I of Catalonia. Alfonso had various guardians, honorific and real, and appears to have attained an acknowledged majority in 1173."7

; Per Genealogy.EU: "The crowns of the Kingdom of Aragon and the County of Barcelona (along with the rest of Catalonia) were henceforth united, and the senior member was known by the grander title of King of Aragon, Catalonia always remained semi-independent of Aragon. The King was always known as Count of Barcelona in Catalonia; The Catalans supplied most of the wealth of the kingdom, and were mostly responsible for the kingdom's expansion throughout the Mediterranean."4

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Ramon Berenguer IV (Catalan pronunciation: [r??mom b??????e]; c. 1114[1] – 6 August 1162, Anglicized Raymond Berengar IV), sometimes called the Saint, was the Count of Barcelona who brought about the union of his County of Barcelona with the Kingdom of Aragon to form the Crown of Aragon.
Early reign
     "Ramon Berenguer IV inherited the county of Barcelona from his father Ramon Berenguer III on 19 August 1131. On 11 August 1137, at the age of about 24, he was betrothed to the infant Petronilla of Aragon, aged one at the time. Petronilla's father, Ramiro II of Aragon, who sought Barcelona's aid against Alfonso VII of Castile, withdrew from public life on 13 November 1137, leaving his kingdom to Petronilla and Ramon Berenguer, the latter in effect becoming ruler of Aragon, although he was never king himself, instead commonly using the titles "Count of the Barcelonans and Prince of the Aragonians" (Comes Barcinonensis et Princeps Aragonensis), and occasionally those of "Marquis of Lleida and Tortosa" (after conquering these cities). He was the last Catalan ruler to use "Count" as his primary title; starting with his son Alfonso II of Aragon the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, as kings of Aragon.
     "The treaty between Ramon Berenguer and his father-in-law, Ramiro II, stipulated that their descendants would rule jointly over both realms, and that even if Petronilla died before the marriage could be consummated, Berenguer's heirs would still inherit the Kingdom of Aragon.[2] Both realms would preserve their laws, institutions and autonomy, remaining legally distinct but federated in a dynastic union under one ruling House. Historians consider this arrangement the political masterstroke of the Hispanic Middle Ages. Both realms gained greater strength and security and Aragon got its much needed outlet to the sea. On the other hand, formation of a new political entity in the north-east at the time when Portugal seceded from León in the west gave more balance to the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula. Ramon Berenguer successfully pulled Aragon out of its pledged submission to Castile, aided no doubt by his sister Berengaria, wife of Alfonso the Emperor, who was well known in her time for her beauty and charm.
Crusades and wars
     "In the middle years of his rule, Ramon Berenguer turned his attention to campaigns against the Moors. In October 1147, as part of the Second Crusade, he helped Castile to conquer Almería. He then invaded the lands of the Almoravid taifa kingdoms of Valencia and Murcia. In December 1148, he captured Tortosa after a five-month siege with the help of Southern French, Anglo-Norman and Genoese crusaders.[3] (When Moors later tried to recapture Tortosa, the women put up such a spirited defense that Berenger created for them the Order of the Hatchet.) The next year, Fraga, Lleida and Mequinenza in the confluence of the Segre and Ebro rivers fell to his army.
     "Ramon Berenguer also campaigned in Provence, helping his brother Berenguer Ramon and his infant nephew Ramon Berenguer II against the Counts of Toulouse. During the minority of Ramon Berenguer II, the Count of Barcelona also acted as the regent of Provence (between 1144 and 1157). In 1151, Ramon signed the Treaty of Tudilén with Alfonso VII of León and Castile. The treaty defined the zones of conquest in Andalusia as an attempt to prevent the two rulers from coming into conflict. Also in 1151, Ramon Berenguer founded and endowed the royal monastery of Poblet. In 1154, he accepted the regency of Gaston V of Béarn in return for the Bearnese nobles rendering him homage at Canfranc, thus uniting that small principality with the growing Aragonese empire.
Death
     "Ramon Berenguer IV died on 6 August 1162 in Borgo San Dalmazzo, Piedmont, Italy, leaving the title of Count of Barcelona to his eldest surviving son, Ramon Berenguer, who inherited the title of King of Aragon after the abdication of his mother Petronilla of Aragon two years later in 1164. He changed his name to Alfonso as a nod to his Aragonese lineage, and became Alfonso II of Aragon. Ramon Berenguer IV's younger son Pere (Peter) inherited the county of Cerdanya and lands north of the Pyrenees, and changed his name to Ramon Berenguer.
Appearance and character
     "The Chronicle of San Juan de la Peña said he was, " at an unknown age man of particularly great nobility, prudence, and probity, of lively temperament, high counsel, great bravery, and steady intellect, who displayed great temperance in all his actions. He was handsome in appearance, with a large body and very well-proportioned limbs."

Barcelona's territorial stability was threatened by Aragonese advances on Lérida and Tortosa, cut short by the death of Alfonso I King of Aragon in 1134. After his betrothal to the heiress of Aragon, he successfully negotiated settlements with the military orders of the Holy Land to whom Alfonso I had bequeathed his kingdom. The Orders of the Hospital and the Holy Sepulchre renounced their claims in Sep 1140. By a charter Nov 1143 (agreement confirmed by the Pope), the Templars accepted compensation (six Aragonese castles, a tenth of royal revenues plus 1000 sous a year from those from Zaragoza, a fifth of all lands conquered from the Moors, and exemption from land tolls). His father-in-law conceded the government of Aragon to him 13 Nov 1137[277]. He accepted the suzerainty of the Pope over Aragon and Barcelona. He allied himself with his brother-in-law Alfonso VII King of Castile, conducting a joint expedition against the Moors of Murcia in 1144 and conquering Almería in 1147. He conquered Tortosa in Dec 1148, and Lérida and Fraga 24 Oct 1149. He styled himself Marques de Tortosa y Lérida. In 1154, Pope Anastasius IV revived the supremacy of the archbishopric of Tarragona over the sees of Girona, Barcelona, Urgel, Osona, Lérida, Tortosa, Zaragoza, Huesca, Pamplona, Tarragona and Calahorra. Ramon Berenguer established the monastery of Poblet in 1150-53. He regained the tribute of Valencia, and by the treaty of Tudillén (1151) confirmed Castile’s recognition of a sphere of prospective influence over Valencia and Murcia. He was elected lord and tutor of the infant Gaston V Vicomte de Béarn in 1154. He died while travelling to meet Emperor Friedrich "Barbarossa" at Turin. The Annales Sancti Victoris Massilienses record the death in 1162 of "Raimundus comes Barchinonensis princeps Aragonensis et marchio Provincie seu Tortuose"[278].

     Queen of Aragon, daughter of Ramiro II, King of Aragon and Matilda de Aquitane, the daughter of William VII of Poitou. Petronilla's father was the Bishop of bishop of Barbastro-Roda when his brother, the King of Aragon died, leaving the title to Ramon, who preferred ecclesiastical life to that of royalty. Ramon married and produced an heir, married her off when she was an infant, released his territories to his new son-in-law and returned to the monastery. Petronilla would start bearing children at the age of fifteen, and produce four sons and one daughter before her husband died, and she was crowned ruler of Aragon. When her eldest living son, Ramiro, renamed Alfonso II of Aragon, was seven years old, she abdicated on July 18, 1164 in his favor and retired Barcelona where she was buried. Her tomb has unfortunately been lost. Bio by: Anne Shurtleff Stevens

     "Petronella was born about 1135, the daughter of Ramiro II, king of Aragón, and Agnès (Mathilde) de Poitou. Petronella came to the throne through special circumstances. Her father Ramiro was bishop of Barbastro-Roda when his brother Alfonso I died heirless in 1134. As king, Ramiro received a papal dispensation to abdicate from his monastic vows in order to secure the succession to the throne. King Ramiro 'the Monk', as he is known, married Agnes, daughter of Guillaume VII-IX 'le Jeune' de Poitou, duke of Aquitaine, and Philippa Mathilde de Toulouse, and through her produced an heiress, Petronella. At between one and two years old, Petronella was betrothed to Raymund Berengar IV, conde de Barcelona, and immediately thereafter Ramiro abdicated in favour of the count and returned to monastic life.
     "Petronella married Raymund Berengar in 1151. Upon his death she renounced the crown of Aragón in favour of her eldest son Ramon, then not yet five. In a compliment to the Aragónese, his name was changed to Alfonso. Her son, who had various guardians, honorific and real, appears to have attained an acknowledged majority in 1173. He was the first ruler of both Aragón and Catalonia (where he is known as Alfonso I) thereby establishing the dynastic union between the two countries that lasted until the crown of Aragón was dissolved in 1707. Petronella died on 13 October 1173."7

Reference: Petronilla (29 June[1]/11 August[2] 1136 - 15 October 1173), whose name is also spelled Petronila or Petronella (Aragonese Peyronela or Payronella,[3]and Catalan: Peronella), was the Queen of Aragon from the abdication of her father in 1137 until her own abdication in 1164. She was the daughter and successor of Ramiro II by his queen, Agnes. She was the last ruling member of the Jiménez dynasty in Aragon, and by marriage brought the throne to the House of Barcelona.
Petronilla came to the throne through special circumstances. Her father, Ramiro, was bishop of Barbastro-Roda when his brother, Alfonso I, died without an heir in 1134, and left the crown to the three religious military orders. His decision was not respected: the aristocracy of Navarre elected a king of their own, restoring their independence, and the nobility of Aragon raised Ramiro to the throne. As king, he received a papal dispensation to abdicate from his monastic vows in order to secure the succession to the throne. King Ramiro the Monk, as he is known, married Agnes of Aquitaine in 1135; their only child, Petronilla, was born the next year in Huesca. Her marriage was a very important matter of state. The nobility had rejected the proposition of Alfonso VII of Castile to arrange a marriage between Petronilla and his son Sancho and to educate her at his court. When she was just a little over one year old, Petronilla was betrothed in Barbastro on 11 August 1137 to Raymond Berengar IV, Count of Barcelona, who was twenty-three years her senior.[4] At El Castellar on 13 November, Ramiro abdicated, transferred authority to Ramon Berenguer and returned to monastic life.[4]Ramon Berenger de facto ruled the kingdom using the title of "Prince of the Aragonese" (princeps Aragonensis).
In August 1150, when Petronilla was fourteen, the betrothal was ratified at a wedding ceremony held in the city ofLleida.[5] Petronilla consummated her marriage to Ramon Berenguer in the early part of 1151, when she reached the age of 15. The marriage produced five children: Peter (1152-57), Raymond Berengar (1157-96), Peter (1158-81), Dulce(1160-98) and Sancho (1161-1223). While she was pregnant with the first, on 4 April 1152, she wrote up a will bequeathing her kingdom to her husband in case she did not survive childbirth.[6]
While her husband was away in Provence (1156-57), where he was regent (since 1144) for the young Count Raymond Berengar II, Petronilla remained in Barcelona. Accounting records show her moving between there and Vilamajor andSant Celoni while presiding over the court in Raymond Berengar's absence.[7]
After her husband's death in 1162, Petronilla received the prosperous County of Besalúand the Vall de Ribes for life. Her eldest son was seven years old when, on 18 July 1164, Petronilla abdicated the throne of Aragon and passed it to him. When Raymond Berenguer inherited the throne from his mother, he changed his name to Alfonso out of deference to the Aragonese. The second son named Peter then changed his name to Raymond Berenguer.
Petronilla died in Barcelona in October 1173 and was buried at Barcelona Cathedral; her tomb has been lost. After her death, Besalú and Vall de Ribes reverted to the direct domain of the Count of Barcelona, her son Alfonso, who by 1174 had bestowed Besalú on his queen, Sancha.[8] In the Ribes, the local bailiff, Ramon, had carved out for himself "a virtually independent administrative authority" there. He had conducted an inventory for Petronilla after Raymond Berenguer's death, and his son and namesake was in power in 1198.[9]
In 1410, after the death of King Martin without living legitimate descendants, the House of Barcelona became extinct in the legitimate male line. Two years later, Fernando of Trastámara was enthroned per the Compromise of Caspe. Although Fernando triumphed mainly for political and military reasons, the theoretical basis of his candidacy was inheritance in the female line, for which Petronilla served as the precedent. He was the closest relative of the late king, but they were related through women. His chief opponent, Count James II of Urgell, was related to Martin more distantly, but in the male line. In Catalonia there were indications that women were forbidden to hold comital office, but in Aragon there was no legislation on the subject. In both places there were a few cases of women who had passed on their right to their sons, most importantly Petronilla.
There is a long debate whether Petronilla was the true ruler of Aragon. Some claim that Ramiro II gave the kingdom of Aragon to his son-in-law and that the presence of Petronilla was secondary. According to Jerónimo de Zurita, there was a clause in the pact with Ramon Berenguer stating that if Petronilla died, Aragon would pass to the children of Ramon Berenguer through a future second marriage. In any case, there is insufficient documentation to make a completely conclusive statement about the question and the Compromise of Caspe confirmed the legitimacy of female transmission.[10]

"Raymondi comes Barchinonensis, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius, Raimundi et Berengarii filiorum suorum…" subscribed the charter dated [4/12] Feb 1114 under which "Bernardus Wilelmi…comes Ceritaniensis" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse[274]. “Raymundus Berengarii…comes Barchinonæ” donated “monasterium…sancti Petri de Gallicant” in Girona to “monasterio Crassensi” by charter dated 20 Jan 1117, subscribed by “Raimundi comitis Barchinonensis, Raimundi Berengerii, Berengerii et Bernardi filiorum eius, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius…”[275].

He succeeded his father in 1131 as Comte de Barcelona, Cerdanya, Besalú, Girona i Ausona. Barcelona's territorial stability was threatened by Aragonese advances on Lérida and Tortosa, cut short by the death of Alfonso I King of Aragon in 1134. After his betrothal to the heiress of Aragon, he successfully negotiated settlements with the military orders of the Holy Land to whom Alfonso I had bequeathed his kingdom. The Orders of the Hospital and the Holy Sepulchre renounced their claims in Sep 1140. By a charter Nov 1143 (agreement confirmed by the Pope), the Templars accepted compensation (six Aragonese castles, a tenth of royal revenues plus 1000 sous a year from those from Zaragoza, a fifth of all lands conquered from the Moors, and exemption from land tolls). His father-in-law conceded the government of Aragon to him 13 Nov 1137[277]. He accepted the suzerainty of the Pope over Aragon and Barcelona. He allied himself with his brother-in-law Alfonso VII King of Castile, conducting a joint expedition against the Moors of Murcia in 1144 and conquering Almería in 1147. He conquered Tortosa in Dec 1148, and Lérida and Fraga 24 Oct 1149. He styled himself Marques de Tortosa y Lérida. In 1154, Pope Anastasius IV revived the supremacy of the archbishopric of Tarragona over the sees of Girona, Barcelona, Urgel, Osona, Lérida, Tortosa, Zaragoza, Huesca, Pamplona, Tarragona and Calahorra. Ramon Berenguer established the monastery of Poblet in 1150-53. He regained the tribute of Valencia, and by the treaty of Tudillén (1151) confirmed Castile’s recognition of a sphere of prospective influence over Valencia and Murcia. He was elected lord and tutor of the infant Gaston V Vicomte de Béarn in 1154. He died while travelling to meet Emperor Friedrich "Barbarossa" at Turin. The Annales Sancti Victoris Massilienses record the death in 1162 of "Raimundus comes Barchinonensis princeps Aragonensis et marchio Provincie seu Tortuose"[278]. The Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium records his death "apud Burgum S Dalmatii iuxta Januensem urbem in Italia…1162 VIII Id Aug" and his burial "in Rivipullensi Monasterio"[279]. An epitaph records the death "1162 VIII Id Aug" of "Marchio…Dominus Raymundus Berengarii Comes Barchinonensis Princeps et Rex Aragonensis et Dux Provinciæ…in Italia apud Vicum Sancti Dalmatii" and his burial in "Monasterium Rivipullense"[280].

     "Infanta doña URRACA de Castilla y León, daughter of ALFONSO VI King of Castile and León & his second wife Constance de Bourgogne [Capet] (late 1080[605]-Saldaña 8 Mar 1126, bur León, Monastery of San Isidro). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Waracta filia imperatoris Fernandi"[606]. "…Urraca regis filia et Reimundi comiti uxor…" subscribed the charter dated 23 Mar 1103 under which "Adefonsus totius Ispanie imperator" donated property to the monastery of San Salvador de Oña with the consent of "uxoris mee Helisabet regine"[607]. "Infanta dna Urraca Adefonsi imperatoris filia et totius Gallecie domina" the monastery of San Andrés de Trobo to Santiago de Compostela by charter dated 18 Dec 1107[608]. Her father declared her heiress to Castile in 1108 after the death of her half-brother Infante don Sancho. She succeeded her father in 1109 as URRACA I Queen of Castile and León. The Almoravides captured Toledo Aug 1109. The country experienced a period of anarchy during her reign due to her constant disputes with her second husband. She was also faced with the attacks by her half-sister Teresa of Portugal, ambitious to replace her as Queen of Castile. "Urraca totius Yspanie regina" confirmed the donation of the monastery of San Andrés de Trobo to Santiago de Compostela by charter dated 14 May 1112[609]. By 1116, Queen Urraca had succeeded in re-establishing control over most of Castile. "Urracha…Ispanie regina, regis Aldefonsi regineque Constantie filia" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 26 Mar 1119, confirmed by "Adefonsus rex, filius…regine, Infantissa domna Sancia, regine germana, Infantissa domna Sancia regine filia, Xemeno Lopez dapifer regine, Garsia Inniguez, Xemeno Inniguez, Petrus Gonsalvi comes, Rodericus Gonsalvi, Fernandus Garsie maior, Fernandus Garsie minor…"[610]. "Urraka…Ispanie regina, regis Adefonis regineque Constancie filia" donated "ecclesiam Sancti Nicholai…in Villa Franca" to Cluny by charter dated 21 Aug 1120[611]. "Urraca totius Ispanie regina et Aldefonsi imperatoris filia" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 13 Apr 1121, confirmed by "Gomez Castelanus comes, Rodericus Asturianus comes, Fernandus Garcies, Petrus Alvares…"[612]. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records the death of Queen Urraca in 1126 after reigning for sixteen years, eight months and seven days, and her burial in León in the royal pantheon[613]. The Chronicon Burgense records the death in 1126 of “Urraca Regina”[614]. The Chronicon Compostellani records the death “apud Saldaña VI Id Mar” in 1126 of “Urraca…in partu adulterini filii”[615]. Orderic Vitalis also reports that Urraca died "in a difficult childbirth"[616], although this seems unlikely considering her age.

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raymundem in Hispania comitem" as brother of "Hugo…Bisuntinensis archiepiscopus", when recording the latter's appointment as archbishop[617], although in a later passage the same source records "comitis Raymundi" as "fratris comitis Pontii de Tolosa"[618] which is inconsistent with other sources. "Wilelmus comes Burgundie" names "Rainaldi et Raimundi filiorum meorum" in his donation to Cluny dated [1086][619]. "Raymundus…Burgundie comes filius Willermi…comitis" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon by charter dated to [1087/92] subscribed by "Hugonis archiepiscopi Bisuntini fratris mei, Stephani comitis fratris mei"[620]. Comte d'Amous. He joined the expedition of the Eudes I Duke of Burgundy to Spain in 1086/87, following a call from the abbey of Cluny to fight "the infidel"[621]. Reilly suggests that he was betrothed after the failure to capture Tudela in Summer 1087, when he speculates that the Burgundians would have visited the court of Castile[622]. Raymond remained in Castile following his betrothal to Infanta Urraca. "Adefonsus rex Legionis et totius Hispanie imperator atque Fredenandi filius regis" granted privileges to Santiago de Compostela, with the advice of "generis mei comitis domini Raimundi", by charter dated 28 Jan 1090[623]. "Raymondus gener regis" confirmed the donation by "Adefonsus…Hispaniarum rex…cum coniuge mea Constantia regina" of property to the monastery of San Salvador de Oña by charter dated 1 May 1092[624]. Conde de Galicia y Coimbra [before 1093], his father-in-law transferred the newly acquired cities of Lisbon, Santarém and Cintra to him in May 1093. Governor of the city of Toledo. He made a mutual pact [Dec 1094/Jul 1095] with Henri de Bourgogne, Conde de Portugal, pledging to grant him Toledo (or in default, Galicia) in return for his support in securing Castile and León for Raimond[625]. Conde in Coria and Zamora: the dating clause of a charter dated 9 Oct 1096, under which "Pelayo Xemeniz" donated land “en Ville Ceide...” to the monastery of San Salvador, records “Sanxus comes in Toro et alius comes domino Ancricco in Auctario de Selles, comes Remundus tenente in Coria et in Zamora”[626]. Conde in Galicia and Zamora: the dating clause of a charter dated 19 Jan 1097, under which "Brabolio Gutierrez" sold land “en territorio de León las villas Cubillas” to “Ordoño Sarraciniz y a su mujer Fronilde Ovéquiz”, records “comes Raimundus in Galicia et in Zamora, comes domno Enrriz in Otero de Sellas, comite Petro Ansurez in Saldania”[627]. Conde de Grajal Jan 1098[628]. "Raimundus comes frater comitis Stephani" donated property to Cluny by charter dated [1100][629]. He established his principal stronghold in the castle of Grajal in 1102[630]. By this time, Raymond had acquired a commanding position in Castile as husband of the heir presumptive to the throne. A funeral elegy of "domnus Raymundus comes Hispanie qui de stirpe comitum Burgundie ortus" is recorded in the cartulary of Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon in a charter dated 20 Sep 1107 which names "Hugo frater suus Bisuntinus archiepiscopus"[631].

The Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium records the marriage of "Ildefonsum" and "filiam Alfonsi Regis Castellæ…Urracam"[633]. Their marriage was annulled on grounds of consanguinity.
     "Mistress of (2): conde PEDRO González de Lara, son of GONZALO Núñez de Lara & his wife Goto --- ([1085]-Bayonne 16 Oct 1130). Alférez of Alfonso VI King of Castile 30 Sep 1107 to 10 Sep 1109. The Crónica Latina records that the queen accepted “la excesiva familiaridad del conde Pedro de Lara, padre del conde Malrico, del conde Nuño y del conde Álvaro” and that it was said that they had “un hijo llamado Fernando Hurtado”[634]. His relationship with Queen Urraca probably started in [1112/14]. Szabolcs de Vajay states that there is no evidence for a secret marriage between Queen Urraca and Pedro González de Lara[635].

"Castri Araldus vicecomes…Boso…cum uxore Adenorde et filio Aimerico" donated property "allodium…in Brigisensi pago apud villam Culturas" to the abbey of Saint-Florent near Saumur by undated charter subscribed by "filii eius minoris Bosonis"[651]. “Boso proconsul Castri Araldi” donated “viam...Busseriæ” to Noyers, with the support of “uxor proconsulis et duo filii eius Aimericus et Boso et filia eius”, by charter dated to [1108][652].

"Aimericus Castri Araudi vicecomes" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux on the advice of "matris mee Adenoris et uxoris mee Dangerose fratrumque meorum Bosonis et Petri" by charter dated 1109[656]. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that she was the daughter of Barthélemy [I] Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard[657]. Barthélemy is recorded with a daughter with the unusual name Dangerose (see the section SEIGNEURS de l’ISLE-BOUCHARD) who, from a chronological point of view, appears to have been of the right age to have been the wife of Vicomte Aimery [I]. She left her husband to live with Guillaume IX Duke of Aquitaine, Guillaume VII Comte de Poitou, for which he was excommunicated. Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record that “Willelmus comes Pictaviensium” left “uxori suæ” for “pellicem...Amalbergam”, specifying that the resulting dispute lasted seven years[658]. Orderic Vitalis recounts that "Hildegarde Ctss de Poitou" complained to the synod of Reims, held in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II, that her husband had abandoned her for "Malberge wife of the vicomte de Châtellerault"[659]."

     "GUILLAUME d’Aquitaine, son of GUILLAUME VIII Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VI Comte de Poitou] & his third wife Hildegarde de Bourgogne [Capet] (22 Oct 1071-10 Feb 1126). The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the birth "1071 XI Kal Nov" of "Goffredo duci…Guillelmus filius"[558]. "Willelmi filius eius" subscribed the donation by "Willelmus dux Aquitanorum" of property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated [1073/87][559]. "Goffredus…dux Aquitanorum et Guillelmus filius eius" set entry conditions for monks at Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers by charter dated 1078 or 1079[560]. He succeeded his father in 1086 as GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine, GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou. Albert of Aix records that "Willelmus comes et princeps Pictaviensium, de sanguine et origine Henrici tertii imperatoris Romanorum" crossed Hungary peacefully with "duce Bawariorum Welfone et…comitssa…Ida de marchia Osterrich", entered the territory of the Bulgars in which "duce Bulgarorum Guz" refused their passage into Adrianople (when "Rodulfus…de Scegonges ortus, cognatus ipsius Willelmi principis" was killed and "Hardewinus…de Sancto Medardo" captured), but that Guillaume captured "ducem Bulgarorum" who was forced to allow the pilgrims to continue, undated but in a passage adjacent to text which records events in 1101[561]. According to Albert of Aix, after the army was dispersed in Asia Minor by the Turks, Duke Guillaume fled to "Longinath juxta Tursolt civitatem", from where he was rescued and brought to Antioch by Tancred's forces[562]. "Aimericus de Ranconia vocatus filius Aimeri qui fuit male peremptus et filius Burgoniæ" donated "mariscum et verniatam quæ sunt sub molendino de Ternant" to the abbey of Ternant Ste-Marie by charter dated 1105, witnessed by "Willelmi ducis, Aldiardis comitissa"[563]. He was a troubadour and composer of lyric poetry. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the death "1126 IV Id Feb" of "Willelmus dux Aquitanorum" and his burial "Pictavis civitate apud Novum Monasterium"[564]. The necrology of the Prieuré de Fontaines records the death "10 Feb" of "Guillermus dux Aquitanorum"[565].

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the daughter of "Fulco" as "comitissam Redonensem" but does not name her[566]. "Fulco Andegavensis comes" donated property to Angers with the consent of "filiis meis Gaufrido et Fulconello et filia mea Ermengarde" by charter dated 23 Jun 1096[567]. William of Tyre names her "Hermingerda", gives her father's name implying that she was born from his fifth marriage, and names her first husband "Pictaviensium comitis Willelmi", her divorce and her second husband "comes Brittaniæ"[568]. She married secondly ([1093]) as his second wife, Alain IV "Fergant" Duke of Brittany. The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum records that "comitissa Brittaniæ" was the daughter of Foulques and his first wife "filiam Lancelini de Baugenciaco", adding that she became a nun at "Jerusalem in ecclesia Sanctæ Annæ" after her husband died[569]. "Fulco Andecavorum comes nepos Goffridi Martelli…consulis" donated property to Angers with the consent of "Ermenjarde filia sua comitissa Brittaniæ" by charter dated 12 Apr 1109[570]. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "Kal Jun" of "Ermengardis comitissa Britanniæ mater Conan ducis et soror Fulconis regis Hierosolymitani"[571]. The Annals of St Salvator Redon record that "Ermengardeque Alani conjugem, vere piam ac religiosam" was buried at the abbey of Redon[572].

Robert of Torigny refers to, but does not name, "filiam unam" of "comes Tolosanus frater Raimundi comitis Sancti Ægidii" & his wife, who married "Guillermus comes Pictavensis et dux Aquitanorum"[574]. "Guillelmus…Aquitainie similiter et Vasconie dux et comes" confirmed donations to Sainte-Croix, Bordeaux by "genitor noster Guillelmus qui et Gaufridus vocatus est" with the consent of "Mathildis uxor…" by charter dated 23 Mar 1096[575]. It is assumed that Mathilde and Philippa refer to the same person. "Willelmus comes et uxor mea Philippia, filia Willelmi comitis Tolosæ" donated property to Toulouse Saint-Sernin by charter dated Jul 1098[576]. She is also named in an undated donation by Bertrand Comte de Toulouse which names her father but not her husband[577]. “Philippæ comitissæ…Emmæ filia” reached agreement with “Bernardus-Atonis filius Ermengardis” by charter dated 1114[578]. Orderic Vitalis recounts that "Hildegarde Ctss de Poitou" complained to the synod of Reims, held in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II, that her husband had abandoned her for "Malberge wife of the vicomte de Châtellerault"[579]. She became a nun. The necrology of the Prieuré de Fontaines records the death "28 Nov" of "Philippa monacha, Pictavensis comitissa"[580].
     "Mistress (1): AMAUBERGE [Dangerose], wife of AIMERY [I] Vicomte de Châtellerault, daughter of ---. "Aimericus Castri Araudi vicecomes" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux on the advice of "matris mee Adenoris et uxoris mee Dangerose fratrumque meorum Bosonis et Petri" by charter dated 1109[581]. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that she was the daughter of Barthélemy [I] Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard[582]. Barthélemy is recorded with a daughter with the unusual name Dangerose (see the document POITOU, section SEIGNEURS de l’ISLE-BOUCHARD) who, from a chronological point of view, appears to have been of the right age to have been the wife of Vicomte Aimery [I]. She left her husband to live with Duke Guillaume, for which he was excommunicated. Ralph de Diceto´s Ymagines Historiarum record that “Willelmus comes Pictaviensium” left “uxori suæ” for “pellicem...Amalbergam”, specifying that the resulting dispute lasted seven years[583]. Orderic Vitalis recounts that "Hildegarde Ctss de Poitou" complained to the synod of Reims, held in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II, that her husband had abandoned her for "Malberge wife of the vicomte de Châtellerault"[584].

     "ROBERT "Brochard", son of HAMON Seigneur d'Argentré & his wife Hildeburge de Bellême (-30 Jun, before [Sep 1067/23 Sep 1068]). He was granted the honour of Château-du-Loir by Geoffroy "le Barbu"[100]. The canons of Saint-Pierre-de-la-Cour relinquished vines to Abelin by charter dated [1051/62] naming "Herberto, Cinomannorum comite, cum fidelibus suis, Rotberto filio Hamelini"[101]. The absence of Robert from the list of those consenting to the donation of his son Gervais dated [Sep 1067/23 Sep 1068] (see below) implies that he had predeceased the donation. On the other hand, his son Gervais is named "Gervasium filium Roberti" in a charter dated 8 Mar 1071[102], which suggests that his father might then still have been alive. The necrology of Le Mans Cathedral records the death "II Kal Jul" of "Robertus filius Haimonis de Castrolidi"[103].

[Her son] Bishop Gervais names "avunculi mei Avesgaudi…genitoris cum genetrice mea Haimonis et Hildeburga" in his testament dated [1040/47], which also specifies that "avunculi mei domini Avesgaudi episcopi" died "apud Verdunis VI Kal Nov" on returning from Jerusalem, that "sororis eius, matris mee Hyldeburge" died the same day that "patris mei Haimonis" died "XVIII Kal Feb", and that he was ordained "XIV Kal Jan"[17].

; NB: According to The Henry Project:
     "Falsely attributed earlier husband: Albert le Riche & Falsely attributed son by Albert le Riche: MALE Albert, living 1044, abbot of Saint-Mesmin de Micy; m. NN, probably sister of Hugues, viscount of Châteaudun and archbiship of Tours, and daughter of Hildegarde.
     "It has been claimed that before she married Hamon, Hildeburge was married to a certain Albert/Aubert le Riche, by whom she had Albert, abbot of Micy, and father of Arnoul, archbishop of Tours. A charter of 1030×1 makes Albert the son of another Albert and a Hildeburge, and gives him two uncles (patrui) Anno, abbot of Jumièges (and of Saint-Mesmin de Micy) and Azenar ["... quidam fidelis noster nomine Albertus... Tradidit autem quasdem res sui beneficii sancto Petro Gimegiensi, faventibus nobis, videlicet pro redemptione anime sue et patrui sui illius loci abbatis, nomine Annae, et patris sui Alberti, et patrui sui Azerini, et matris sue Hildeburgis, et uxoris sue, et sobolis feminini generis." Cart. Jumièges, 52 (#15)]. This is confirmed by a charter of 1014×28 ["... Albertus Dives, senioris Alberti filius et Annonis nepos ..." Cart S.-Martin de Pontoise, Appendix 3, 345 n. 440b]. A poorly worded charter of 1031×3 appears to say the same ["... vir Albertus nomine..., pro animæ suæ parentumque suorum, avunculo videlicet patrui sui ejusdem loci abbatis Annæ nomine et patris sui Alberti..." ibid., 345]. Depoin suggests that "avunculo videlicet patrui" should instead read "avunculi videlicet patris" [ibid., 345 n. 440], but in comparison with the other charters it would appear that "avunculi videlicet patrui" is the correct reading. Settipani would make abbot Albert the son of Azenar brother of abbot Anno, based on an extract from the cartulary of Jumièges quoted by Depoin ["Anna abbas (Sancti Maximini Miciacensis) dicitur patruus Alberti, quem Robertus rex suum fidelem dicit, confirmans eidem donationem Gemeticensi monasterio factam 'pro redemptione animae suae, inquit, et patris sui Azermi, et matris suae Hildeburgis' ..." Depoin (1909), 157, citing an extract from the cartulary of Jumièges, ms. latin 13817, fol. 389; Settipani (1997), 261 n. 248]. However, this appears to be a careless quote from the charter of 1030×1 cited above (perhaps caused by the similarity of the words patris and patruus). Albert of Micy would appear to be the abbot Albert whose death date of 14 January was given by the necrology of Jumièges [14 Jan. "Albertus, abbas et levita" Ex Obituario Gemmeticensi, RHF 23: 417]. Joseph Depoin gives 14 January 1036 as the date, without citing any authority [Cart S.-Martin de Pontoise, Appendix 12, 469; Depoin (1909), 157]. However, Thomas Head cites a charter indicating that Albert was still alive in 1044 [Head (1990), 227 n. 126, citing Chartes de Micy 142-7 (#27), the latter not seen by me].
     "Thus, Albert was the son of an Albert and a Hildeburge. But was this the same Hildeburge who married Hamon de Château-du-Loir? In a charter of 1023×7, in which he donates property in Bellême from his maternal inheritance, Albert calls archbishop Arnoul of Tours his son ["Ego Albertus, abbas abbatiae sanctorum Stephani prothomartyris et Christi confessoris Maximini..., erat michi quidam alodus ex materna hereditate..., dedi pro remedio anime meae filiique mei Arnulfi, Turonensis archiepiscopi, et parentum meorum... Est autem ipse alodus in pago Bethlemensi, quem vocant Domna Maria..." Cart. Jumièges, 24 (39); also in Bry (1620), 51]. Since this confirms the Bellême origin of Albert's mother Hildeburge, it would at first glance seem to support her identification with the woman of the same name who is later found married to Hamon. However, chronological arguments pointed out by Seppipani would appear to rule out this possibility [Settipani (1997), 261 n. 248]. Arnoul became archbishop in 1023 ["MXXIII. Obiit Hugo archiepiscopus Turonensium IV idus junii. Cui successit Arnulfus nepos VII kalendas decembris." Annals of Vendôme, s.a. 1023, Halphen (1903), 60]. Since the canonical age for archbishops was thirty, Arnoul was probably born in or before 993. This makes it difficult to place the birth of his father Albert after ca. 975. However, Hamon's wife Hildeburge had a son (Gervaise) born in 1007 [Ex chronico Remensi, RHF 10: 271], and therefore almost certainly she was not the mother of Albert more than thirty years earlier. Nevertheless, given the Bellême origin, a close relationship between the two Hildeburges would seem to be a good possibility."4

It appears chronologically more probable that Isabelle was the daughter of Guy rather than his son Milon, but this is not without doubt. A charter dated 1133 records a donation to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sens by "Milo de Curteno", adding that his widowed mother had become a nun there and that “frater eius Rainaudus” was buried there[93], which confirms that Milon was the son of his father’s second marriage. William of Tyre specifies that the mother of Joscelin de Courtenay Count of Edessa was the sister of the mother of Baudouin de Bourg, later Baudouin II King of Jerusalem, according to the testimony of her granddaughter concerning the consanguinity between Amaury I King of Jerusalem and his first wife which provided the basis for the annulment of their marriage in 1162[94].

Galerico" as the children of "Guidonem" and his wife, stating in a later passage that "Elisabeth filiam Milonis de Monte-Letherico" was the second wife of "Joscelinum de Cortinaco"[945]. It appears chronologically more probable that Isabelle was the daughter of Guy rather than his son Milon, but this is not without doubt. William of Tyre specifies that the mother of Joscelin de Courtenay Count of Edessa was the sister of the mother of Baudouin de Bourg, later Baudouin II King of Jerusalem, according to the testimony of her granddaughter concerning the consanguinity between Amaury I King of Jerusalem and his first wife which provided the basis for the annulment of their marriage in 1162[946].
