Alfonso II (1174 – February 1209) was the second son of Alfonso II of Aragon and 
Sancha of Castile. His father transferred the County of Provence from his uncle 
Sancho to him in 1185. Alfonso II was born in Barcelona.

In 1193, Alfonso married Gersenda II of Sabran, daughter of Rainou, Count of 
Forcalquier and Gersend of Forcalquier. They had a child who became Ramon 
Berenguer IV as count of Provence.
