The Brevi Historia Comitum Provinciæ names "Berengarius primogenitus…Gilbertus secundo-natus qui fuit Comes Provinciæ, Raimundus tertio-natus, et Stephana qui fuit uxor Raimundi de Bauxio" as the children of "Raymundus-Berengarii vulgo Cap-De stoupes…dictus, Comes Barcinonæ in Catalonia" & his wife. "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, which must place the birth of Berenguer Ramón in late 1113 or early 1114, assuming that the charter is correctly dated.
He succeeded his father in 1131 as BERENGER RAYMOND I Comte de Provence, Vicomte de Rodez, de Gévaudan et de Carladet.
The Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium records that "fratre suo [=Raimundi Berengarii quarti] Berengario-Raimundi Provinciæ Comite" who ruled the county of Provence was killed by pirates "in portu Malguriensi". The Annals of Caffaro record that "comes Milgorii, frater comitis Barcilonie" attacked Genoa and was killed "a quodam balistario galee", dated to [1143/44] from the context. 1
