Gersende [DE TOULOUSE]
- Married: Before 28 Nov 898
- Died: After 15 May 962
Research Notes:
"Wifredo y su esposa la condesa Garsenda" bought property by charter dated 28 Nov 898. "Idelherus epicopus, Geresendes cometissa, Suniarius comes et marchio, Ermemirus vicescomes" signed a document dated 1 Dec 911 as executors of "Vuifredo comite condam filius fuit Vuifredo comite condam". The origin of Garsinde, wife of Guifre II Borel Conde de Barcelona, is unknown. Szabolcs de Vajay suggested, for onomastic reasons only, that she was the daughter of Odon Comte de Toulouse. However, Garsinde/Gersende was such a common name at the time in southern France that this must be only one of numerous possibilities. A charter dated 18 Nov 908 records the sale of "villa de Palacio" to "domno Wifredo comite hac marchio que vocant Borrello et uxori tue Gersinda". "Garsindis comitissa" sold property to Vic by charter dated 17 Apr 926 which names "viro meo Vuifredo qui vocabulum fuit Borrello". A charter dated 13 May 962 refers to the testament of "condam Richildis vicecomitissa…de civitate Narbona" which appoints "suos elemosiniarios Gersindis comitissa…", which, if it refers to Riquilda´s mother, indicates that she must have lived to extreme old age. 1
