SHOPPER'S DELIGHT

The Carolingians appointed counts of Toulouse, 778 – 848 :

Torson , designated Count of Toulouse by Charlemagne , 778 , regent for King Louis I Of Aquitaine ; deposed 790

Saint William Of Gellone , second count of Toulouse 790 – 811 (d. 812 or 814 )

Raymond Raphinel, designated by Charlemagne ( 811 )

Berengar The Wise (''Bérenger le Sage''), duke of Toulouse, 814 - 835 ; son of Unroch II , Margrave Of Friuli

Garin , duke of Toulouse, designated by Louis I ( 835 )

Pepin I, king of Toulouse and Aquitaine, died 849

The hereditary Counts of Toulouse ruled the city of Toulouse and its surrounding county from the late 9th Century until 1270 . The counts and other family members were also at various times counts of Quercy , Rouergue , Albi , and Nîmes , and margraves of Gothia and Provence . Also, Raymond IV founded the Crusader State of Tripoli , and his descendants were counts there.

Raymond III Pons ( 924 –c. 950 )

Raymond IV (c. 950 – 961 )

Hugh ( 961 – 972 )

Raymond ( 972 – 978 ) research suggests adding this previously unknown count to solve the problem of the otherwise extraordinary lifespan of William Tallifer; this would of course necessitate renumbering the succeeding Raymond's, though this is not done here.

William III Tallifer (d. 1037 )

Pons ( 1037 – c. 1061 )

William IV ( 1061 – 1094 )

Raymond IV ( 1094 – 1095 )

Bertrand ( 1095 – 1112 )

Alphonse-Jordan ( 1112 – 1148 )

Raymond V ( 1148 – 1194 )

Raymond VI ( 1194 – 1222 )

Raymond VII ( 1222 – 1249 )

Joan Of Toulouse & Alphonse Of Poitiers ( 1249 – 1271 )

At that point Toulouse passed to the Crown of France, by the terms of the Treaty Of Languedoc .
