"Wmus Talafer, comes Engolismensis, filius Wlgrini comitis…et Arnaldus Bocardi" issued a charter dated 1163 concerning the forest of Marange, which names "filii mei Wlgrinus et W Talafer". "Bulgrinus comes Engolismensis filius prædicti Willelmi Taillefer" confirmed the donations of his father to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 1171, although the date is surprising assuming that the death of Vulgrin's father is correctly stated... "Vuillelmus Talafers comes Engolismensis Vulgrini filius et Margarita uxor mea et filii nostri Vulgrinus scilicet primogenitus noster, Vuillelmus Talafers, Ademarus, Grisetus, Fulco et Almodis filia nostra uxor Amanei de Lebret" transferred rights to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe by charter dated 1171.
He succeeded his father in 1179 as Comte d'Angoulême. He joined the crusade in 1178. "Wigrinus comes Engolismensis" donated property to Saint-Etienne de Baigne on advice of "fratrum meorum Talafer et Ademari" by undated charter.
The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "Natali Apostolorum Petri et Pauli" of "Wlgrinus Comes Engolismensis" leaving an only daughter, recording that she was disinherited by "Guillermus…et Ademarus defuncto…fratri" (in 1181 from the context). 2
