  • Married: 1066

  Research Notes:

Her parentage and marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. It is likely that the connection is speculative, presumably in an effort to explain how Raymond Comte de Toulouse later claimed the marquisate of Provence. However, Raymond´s right could have been hereditary through his paternal grandmother, who was the sister of Guillaume [V] Comte et Marquis de Provence. The fact of Raymond´s first marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1066] under which "Raimundum comitem de Rutenis, filium Almodis" and "Guifredum archiepiscopum de Narbona, filium Guille comitissæ" confirmed an agreement, which was confirmed by "uxorem suam comitissam". The Histoire Générale de Languedoc suggests that she was Raymond´s first cousin, the daughter of his paternal uncle Bertrand, suggesting that Raymond naming his first son Bertrand would then have been consistent with the contemporary convention of using the name of one of the child´s grandfathers for the first-born son. It is assumed that the marriage was terminated, maybe for consanguinity, which could explain the doubts expressed in some primary sources about the legitimacy of Raymond´s son Bertrand. 1

  Marriage Information:

Unnamed daughter of Geoffrey I D' ARLES, Marquis et Comte de Provence, and Étiennette (Douce) DE MARSEILLE, probably married Cte Raymond IV DE TOULOUSE "de Saint-Gilles", son of Cte Pons Guillaume DE TOULOUSE and Almodis DE LA MARCHE, in 1066. (Raymond IV DE TOULOUSE was born in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrenees, France and died on 28 Feb 1104/5 in Castle of Mount Pèlerin near Tripoli, Palestine.) She was repudiated between 1076 and 1080.
