Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pons,_Count_of_Toulouse
Pons (II) William[1] (991 – 1060) was the Count of Toulouse from 1037. He was the 
eldest son and successor of William III Taillefer and Emma of Provence. He thus 
inherited the title marchio Provincć. He is known to have owned many allods and he 
relied on Roman, Salic, and Gothic law.

Already in 1030, he possessed a lot of power in the Albigeois. In 1037, he gave many 
allodial churches and castles, including one half of that of Porta Spina, in the 
Albigeois, Nimois, and Provence as a bridal gift to his wife Majore.

In 1038, he split the purchase of the Diocese of Albi with the Trencavel family. In 
1040, he donated property in Diens to Cluny. In 1047, he first appears as count 
palatine in a charter donating Moissac to Cluny.

Pons married first wife, Majore(d.1044),[2] in 1022. His only child by Majore;
Pons the Younger, did not inherit his county or march.

In 1045, he married, Almodis de La Marche, former wife of Hugh V of Lusignan, but he 
too repudiated her in 1053. They had:
William IV, Count of Saint-Gilles
Raymond IV, Count Saint-Gilles,[3] succeeded his brother.
Hugh, abbot of Saint-Gilles.
Almodis, married the Count of Melgueil.

Pons died in Toulouse and was buried in Saint-Sernin, probably late in 1060 or early in 
1061.
