Garsenda DE BESALÚ
- Born: Besalú, Catalonia
- Married:
- Died: After 5 Feb 1067
Research Notes:
Her parentage is suggested and her marriage confirmed by the charter dated to [1020] which records homage sworn to "Berengarium vicecomitem filius qui fuit Richardis vicecomitissæ neque uxorem eius Garsindem filia quæ fuit Totæ comitissæ", as no other contemporary "Totæ comitissæ" has been identified except the wife of Bernat [I] Comte de Besalú. Garsenda is not, however, named in her supposed father´s 1020 testament. "Berengarius vicecomes" donated property to the canons of Saint-Just and Saint-Pastor, for the souls of "patris mei Raimundi et avunculi mei Ermengaudi archiepiscopi", by charter dated 7 Jun 1032, signed by "Ricardis vicecomitissæ matris eius, Garsindis uxoris eiusdem, Raimundi filii eorum…". "Guifredus archiepiscopus…cum Berengario vicecomite et uxore illius Garsinde, eorumque filii Raymundo, Petro et Bernardo" donated property by charter dated 23 Apr 1048, subscribed by "Berengarii vicecomitis, Garsindis vicecomitissæ, Raymundi Berengarii, Petri clerici frater ejus, Bernardi fratris istorum…". "Berengarius vicecomes et uxor mea Garsindis" swore allegiance to "domno Raymundo Berengarii seniori nostro" for one of his fiefs by charter dated 5 Feb 1067. 1
