William I (1020 – 12 November 1087), called the Great (le Grand or Tête Hardie, "the
Stubborn"), was Count of Burgundy from 1057 to 1087 and Mâcon from 1078 to 1087.
He was a son of Renaud I and Alice of Normandy, daughter of Richard II, Duke of
Normandy. William was the father of several notable children, including Pope Callixtus
II.
In 1057, he succeeded his father and reigned over a territory larger than that of the
Franche-Comté itself. In 1087, he died in Besançon, Prince-Archbishopric of
Besançon, Holy Roman Empire -- an independent city within the County of Burgundy.
He was buried in Besançon's Cathedral of St John.
