     ; NB: The name of Rothilde's father is uncertain:

     "ROTHILDE . According to Le Laboureur, Rothilde was the daughter of a vicomte de Brosse (unnamed), although Settipani has pointed out that no primary source reference is quoted in his work to support this statement and suggests that it may be based on an un[sound conclusion drawn because the castle of Brosse was held by Rothilde’s descendants and is later recorded as a vicomté[7]. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][8]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[9]. Possible family connections of Rothilde’s first husband are suggested by the charter dated to [1003/36] under which "Rotbertus de Chatmart et Gaufredus frater eius…Ermesindis et Belieldis uxores eorum, Ebolus et Guido et Geraldus filii Gaufredi, Arcambaldus et Geraldus filii Rotberti" donated property in "manso de Monsor" to Uzerche[10], the connection being "Monsor" [Moussours near Uzerche].

Foucher (?) Vicomte de Limoges died in 886; Genealogics says d. 886; Med Lands says d. aft 888.^9,1,2
      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Foucher de Limoges, the founder of the House of Limoges-Rochechouart, was a younger son of Raimond I, comte de Toulouse, and his wife Bertheiz, daughter of Rémi. The viscounts of Limoges and of Rochechouart were thus descended from the counts of Rouergue and probably from the counts of Autun and from Théodoric, who founded the Autun dynasty in about 730.
Foucher, supporter of Emperor Charles 'the Bald', was rewarded for his services in the emperor's wars by being granted the viscountcy of Limoges, which extended into Limousin and Berry. Foucher was crowned as viscount in 876 in Limoges and started minting his own coinage. The promulgation of the Capitulary of Quierzy the following year simultaneously freed the lords from royal authority and made their titles and charges hereditary, thus giving birth to the French feudal system. Like other lords, the viscountcy of Limoges became an autonomous territory, administered by Foucher. On his death in 886, his son Hildebert became lord of Limoges, followed by Hildebert's son Hildegaire, then Hildebert's grandson Géraud, establishing in a lasting way the dynasty of viscounts in their fiefdom of Limoges."¹

GAV-31 EDV-31. Foucher (?) Vicomte de Limoges was also known as Fulk (?) de Limoges.⁹

; Per Med Lands:
     "[FOUCHER (-after [888]). [Vicomte de Limoges]. A continuator of the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that “Eudes King of France” installed "Fulcherium" at Limoges and "Lemovicinum per vicecomites ordinavit", dated to [888] from the context[561]. The later Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Fulcherius" as first to receive the viscounty of Limoges from King Eudes[562], presumably based on Adémar de Chabannes. The editor of the version of Adémar’s Chronicle consulted comments that the whole section of which this passage forms part “est de pure fantaisie”[563]. Indeed, the same passage also records that King Eudes was “filius Raimundi comitis Lemovicensis” and that he was first consecrated “in Aquitania rex” at Limoges where “coins were struck with his name” in place of his predecessor “Caroli”. This passage appears to confuse King Eudes with Odon Comte de Toulouse, son of Raymond I Comte de Toulouse, who succeeded his father in 886 (see the document TOULOUSE KINGS, DUKES & COUNTS). However, it is possible that Comte Raymond I held Limoges among his other territories and that his son enjoyed the jurisdictional competence to appoint a vicomte de Limoges. This possible confusion was highlighted by Lasteyrie in 1874, Ferdinand Lot explaining how the confusion could have resulted by highlighting three charters relating to property “Orbaciacus” sold by Comte Odon to the archbishop of Bourges, who donated it to Beaulieu abbey, the donation being confirmed by a charter of King Eudes[564]. Lot also argues convincingly that the passage in question could be attributable to Adémar himself, restoring some credibility to the text[565]. Fage dismisses the existence of this Vicomte Foucher, but he is assuming that he was the same person as Foucher Vicomte de Segur who is named in charters dated to the 940s, which is improbable from a chronological point of view[566]. Assuming that this Vicomte Foucher did exist, it is likely that he was closely related to Hildebert, father of Vicomte Hildegaire, maybe his brother. It is possible that he died without direct heirs, the title passing either to Hildbert or to Hildegaire.]"
