Raymundids

Raimundides

The ancestor of the house was Sigibert I (d. C. 820 ). In some sources he was referred to as the son of Hildebrand , Senor Perrasi, who was a noble nobleman descended from the Carolingian dynasty (he was the son of Pepin of Geristalsky and brother of Karl Martell ). Sigibert's existence is not exactly confirmed, but it can be established that he was the Earl of Ruerg . If this is the case, then most likely he was the father of Fulcoald (d. After 837 ), Count Ruerga ^[1] , who became authentically confirmed by historical sources as the ancestor of the Raimundids.

His eldest son Frelédon (c. 815 — c. 852 ), who became the first Earl of Toulouse from the Raimundid clan, left no heirs and all his possessions were transferred to his brother, Raimund I (d. C. 865 ). He had the sons of Bernard (d. 872/877 ) and Ed (d. 918/919 ). Bernard did not leave offspring, and Ed had two sons: Count Toulouse Raimund II (d. 923/924 ) and Count Ruerg Ermengol (d. After 935 ). Accordingly, they became the ancestors of two branches of the Raimundid house: Raimund became the head of the Toulouse house, and Ermengol became the ruergus.

Ruerg House

Ermengol became the ancestor of the youngest branch of the house of the Raimundids - the Ruerg House. In 906, his brother Raimund I of Toulouse gave him the counties of Ruerg, Kersey , Albi and Nimes . Ermengol was successively replaced by his direct descendants - Raimund II (mur. 961/965 ), Raimund III (d. 1008 ), Hugo (d. 1054 ) and Bert (d. 1063/1066 ). After the death of Bert, all the possessions of the counts of Ruerg passed to the Toulouse house.

Toulouse House

Raimund II became the first representative of the Toulouse House. He had a son, Raimund III Pons (d. 944/969 ). According to the traditional genealogy of the counts of Toulouse ^[2], his son was Guillaume III ( 952 - 1037 ), but according to modern research ^[3] it was proved that his son and grandson were Raimund IV (d. 972 ) and Raimund V (d. 972/979 ), respectively. It turns out that Guillaume was the son of Raimund IV, and his brother was Pons (d. 1060 ). The sons of the latter were Guillaume IV (d. 1092 ) and Raimund IV (d. 1105 ), the father of Bertrand (d. 1112 ), Count of Tripoli , whose son was Alphonse I Jordan (d. 1148 ). The heirs of Alphonse Jordan were his sons Raimund V (d. 1194 ) and Alphonse II (d. 1175/1189 ), co-ruler of the previous one in Toulouse. Raimund V had a son, Raimund VI ( 1156 - 1222 ), a grandson of Raimund VII ( 1197 - 1249 ), and great-granddaughter Jeanne ( 1220 - 1271 ), who married Alphonse de Poitiers ( 1220 - 1271 ).

After her death, the Toulouse house, as well as the main branch of the Raimundid house, died out. Representatives of one of the younger branches of this genus consider themselves Toulouse-Lautreci .
