William VII of Montpellier was the eldest son of William VI and of his wife Sibylle.

Aged around 15, he inherited the lordship of Montpellier from his father in 1146 under 
the tutelage of his grandmother, Ermessende of Melgueil. In 1156 he married Matilda 
of Burgundy, daughter of Hugh II, Duke of Burgundy.

He fell ill in 1171 and made his will on St Michael's day (29 September 1171), 
appointing his brother Gui Guerrejat and John of Montlaur, bishop of Maguelonne, as 
joint guardians of his young sons. He probably died in 1172.

Sibylle, who married Rayomond Gaucelm of Lunel
