GUILLAUME d'Aquitaine (1099-Santiago de Compostela 9 Apr 1137, bur Santiago de Compostela). The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the birth in 1099 of "Willelmo comiti…filius æquivoce Guillelmus"[479]. William of Tyre names him and his father[480].

He succeeded his father in 1126 as GUILLAUME X Duke of Aquitaine, GUILLAUME VIII Comte de Poitou. “Guillelmus comes Pictaviensis et dux Aquitanorum” confirmed rights of “monachi Monasterii Novi Pictaviensis” granted by “Gaufredus avus et Guillelmus pater mei” by charter dated 1129[482]. “Willelmus…dux Aquitanorum” donated property to “ecclesiæ B. Hilarii de Cella” (La Celle, outside Poitiers) granted by “Gaufredus avus et Guillelmus pater mei” by charter dated 3 Mar 1130, subscribed by “Willielmi ducis Aquitanorum, Aenordis comitissæ, Alienordis filiæ eorum, Wilelmi Aigres filii eorum”[483]. The Chronique de Guillaume de Nangis records in 1136 that "Guillaume comte de Poitou et prince d'Aquitaine" died while on pilgrimage at "Saint-Jacques…la veille de Pâques" and was buried there[484].
m firstly ELEONORE de Châtellerault, daughter of AMAURY [I] Vicomte de Châtellerault & his wife Amauberge "Dangereuse"[485] --- (-after Mar 1130). “Willelmus…dux Aquitanorum” donated property to “ecclesiæ B.

The primary source which confirms her parentage has not so far been identified.
m secondly (1136) as her second husband, EMMA de Limoges, widow of BARDON de Cognac, daughter of ADEMAR [III] "le Barbu" Comte de Limoges & his [second wife Marie des Cars]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "aliam filiam [Ademari]…Ennoa (seu Emma)" stating that she married "Guillermus Dux, frater Raymundi Antiochiæ principis" after the death of her earlier husband "Bardoni de Coniaco", before being abducted by "Willelmus Sector-ferri, filius Wlgrini Comitis Engolismensis"[487]. She married thirdly (after 1137) as his first wife, Guillaume d'Angoulême, who succeeded his father in 1140 as Guillaume VI "Taillefer" Comte d'Angoulême.
Duke Guillaume X & his first wife had three children:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_X,_Duke_of_Aquitaine
and in French: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_X_de_Poitiers
William X (1099 – 9 April 1137), called the Saint, was Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, and Count of Poitou (as William VIII) between 1126 and 1137. He was the son of William IX by his second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.
William was born in Toulouse during the brief period when his parents ruled the capital. His birth is recorded in the Chronicle of Saint-Maixent for the year 1099: Willelmo comiti natus est filius, equivoce Guillelmus vocatus ("a son was born to Count William, named William like himself"). Later that same year, much to his wife's ire, Duke William mortgaged Toulouse to Philippa's cousin, Bertrand of Toulouse, and then left on Crusade.
Philippa and her infant son were left in Poitiers. Long after Duke William's return, he took up with Dangereuse, the wife of one of his vassals, and set aside his rightful wife, Philippa. This caused strain between father and son, until William married Aenor de Châtellerault, daughter of his father's mistress, in 1121. He had from her three children: Eleanor, who would later become heiress to the Duchy; Petronilla, who married Raoul I of Vermandois; and William Aigret, who died young.
As his father before him, William X was a patron of troubadours, music and literature. He was an educated man and strove to give his two daughters an excellent education, in a time when Europe's rulers were hardly literate.
When Eleanor succeeded him as Duchess, she continued William's tradition and transformed the Aquitanian court into Europe's centre of knowledge.
William was both a lover of the arts and a warrior. He became involved in conflicts with Normandy (which he raided in 1136, in alliance with Geoffrey le Bel of Anjou who claimed it in his wife's name) and France.
Even inside his borders, William faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him, an issue resolved with total destruction of the enemies. In international politics, William X initially supported antipope Anacletus II in the schism of 1130, opposite to Pope Innocent II, against the will of his own bishops. In 1134 Saint Bernard of Clairvaux convinced William to drop his support to Anacletus and join Innocent.
In 1137 William joined the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, but died of suspected food poisoning during the trip. On his deathbed, he expressed his wish to see king Louis VI of France as protector of his fifteen-year-old daughter Eleanor, and to find her a suitable husband. Louis VI naturally accepted this guardianship and married the heiress of Aquitaine to his own son, Louis VII.

William X, Duke of Aquitaine "the Saint" (1099 – April 9, 1137)
The Name in Occitan. Click here to find out more about occitan. Guilhèm X duc d'Aquitània e de Gasconha, Guilhèm VIII comte de Peitieus
The Name in French Guilaume X duc d'Aquitaine
William was Duke of Aquitaine and Gascony and Count of Poitiers as William VIII of Poitiers between 1126 and 1137.
William was born in Toulouse during the brief period when his parents ruled the capital. Later that same year, 1126, his father William IX mortgaged Toulouse to his wife's cousin, Bertrand of Toulouse. His wife, Philippa of Toulouse was less than pleased, and less pleased still when he then left on Crusade. Philippa and her infant son were left in Poitiers.
Long after William IX's return, he took up with the wife of one of his vassals, and set aside his wife, Philippa. This caused strain between father and son, although the strife seems to have been resolved when the younger William married Ænor of Châtellerault (the daughter of his father's mistress) in 1121. The couple had three children:
* Aliaenor, or Eleanor, who would later become heiress to the Duchy;
* Aelith ( aka Petronilla), who married Raoul I of Vermandois;
* William Aigret, who died young.
William's wife Ænor and their son William Aigret both died in 1130.
Like his father before him, William X was a patron of troubadours, music and literature. He was an educated man and gave his two daughters an excellent education - just one example of the gap between the sophisticated culture of Occitania and the rest of western Christendom (It was rare enough to give boys a good education, and generally considered "unnatural" and even blasphemous to educated girls. Senior churchmen objected loudly and often).
William became involved in conflicts with Normandy and France. Inside his own borders he faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him, happily resolved by total destruction of the enemies.
In 1137, Duke William X set out from Poitiers to Bordeaux, taking his daughters with him. In Bordeaux, he left Eleanor and Petronilla in the charge of the Archbishop of Bordeaux who could be entrusted with the safety of the Duke's daughters. The Duke then set out for the Shrine of Saint James of Compostela in North-western Spain, in the company of other pilgrims; however, on 9th April (Good Friday) 1137 he was stricken with sickness, probably food poisoning. He died that evening, having bequeathed Aquitaine to his fifteen-year-old daughter, Eleanor. On his deathbed, he expressed his wish to have King Louis VI of France as protector of Eleanor, and to charge him with finding her a suitable husband. Louis VI, putting his own interests first, as ever, married Eleanor the new Duchess of Aquitaine to his own son, also called Louis, later King Louis VII.

BOOKS
The Political History of England, Vol II, George Burton Adams Longmans Green and Co, 1905, Ch IX, p210:
"In September, 1136, central Normandy was the scene of another useless and savage raid of Geoffrey of Anjou, accompanied by William, the last duke of Aquitaine, William Talvas, and others. They penetrated the country as far as Lisieux, treating the churches and servants of God, says Orderic Vitalis, after the manner of theheathen, but were obliged to retreat; and finally, though he had been joined by Matilda, Geoffrey, badly wounded, abandoned this attempt also and returned to Anjou."
p212: "...When William, Duke of Aquitaine, returned from his expedition with Geoffrey, he seems to have been troubled in his conscience by his heathenish deeds in Normandy, and he made a pilgrimage to St James of Compostella to seek the pardon of heaven. In this he seemed to be successful, and he died there beforethe altar of the apostle, with all the comforts of religion. When he knew that his end was approaching, he besought his barons to carry out the plan which he had formed of conveying the duchy to the king of France, with the hand of his daughter and heiress Eleanor for his son Louis. The proposition was gladly accepted, the marriage took place in July at Bordeaux..."
Eleanor of Aquitaine the Mother Queen, Desmond Seward, 1978, Dorset Press, p17:
"William X, Eleanor's father, was almost as cultured as William IX, just as colourful and still more pugnacious. He was a patron of poets and there were many troubadours at his court, including foreigners from Aragon, Castile, and Navarre, and from Italy, and there was evena Welshman called Bledhri. When this duke died, his Gascon friend Cercamon wrote a lament that mourned his passing and the end of his munificence. However, William X was better known for quarrelling than for verses. A man of huge physique and enormous strength, he was an outsize personality in every way. He was said to eat enough for eight ordinary mortals at each meal. He was unwise enough to involve himself in the Church schism that began in 1130, supporting the anti-pope Anacletusagainst Innocent II; he menaced prelates and ignored excommunications and interdicts that stopped the bells ringing in entire dioceses. He was completely undaunted by the threats of divine punishment that issued from the redoubtable abbot of Clairvaux, St Bernard, and refused to remove a schismatic bishop. When Bernard deliberately entered his territory and publicly celebrated mass at Parthenay, the duke burst into the church in full armour, to teach the infuriating monk a lesson. However, William had met his match. Bernard advanced on him, holding up the consecrated Host, and spoke to such effect that the duke fell to the ground rigid with fear and foaming at the mouth. But although he had lost his battle with the Church, William in no way abated his quarrelsomeness when dealing with his vassals; only his death prevented the whole of the Limousin from rising in revolt...
"...William X seems to have been noticeably fond of his eldest daughter, making herhis constant companion. In consequence, Eleanor's childhood was passed under many roofs. Like all rulers of the high Middle Ages, her father was perpetually on progress- administering justice and bringing rebellious vassals to heel- and Eleanorwent with him..."
p21: "On Good Friday 1137, despite his strength, Duke William X died at Compostella, where he had gone to pray to St James the Apostle, and was buried under the high altar at Compostella..."
A History of the Plantagenets, Vol I, The Conquering Family, Thomas B Costain, Doubleday & Co, Garden City, 1949, p37:
"Duke William ruled Aquitaine and he was very old. He had one son who had gone to the Crusades and who was so good that the people called him St. William. The old man had not been a saint by any means but had spent a large part of his life wandering up and down his broad domain looking for romance, and always finding it. He now wanted to abdicate and spend his last years as a pilgrim andpenitent, having in full degree that fear of the hereafter and the torments of hell which motivated so much of what happened in those days. His saintly son had two daughters only, Eleanor and Petonille, both of whom took after their grandfather.
"When Eleanor was fifteen and already recognized as Queen of the Courts of Love, her father died..."
Guillermo el Tolosano, nació en 1099 y fue el último conde de Poitiers y de la dinastía de los Rammulfides.
Reinó de 1126 a 1137 con el nombre de Guillermo VIII, conde de Poitiers, duque de Aquitania con el nombre de Guillermo X.
Era hijo de Guillermo el Trovador, al que sucedió, y de Philippa, hija del conde de Toulouse, Guillermo IV.
Se alía contra Normandía, con el conde de Anjou Geoffroy el Bello que, mientras permanece sin problemas en su frontera, Guillermo tiene que luchar durante, mucho tiempo en el sur, para combatir a su vasallo Aunis, Isembert de Châtelaillon.
Mal aconsejado, desde 1130, apoya durante cinco años junto con el legado Girar d’Angulême al anti-Papa Anacleto II, actitud que depone tras una entrevista con san Bernardo de Claraval en el castillo de Parthenay.
Muerto en el transcurso de una peregrinación a Santiago de Compostela pidió, en sus últimas voluntades, al rey de Francia Luis VI el Gordo que consintiera el matrimonio entre su hijo Luis y su hija mayor Leonor de Aquitania.
A finales de la Edad Media se convirtió en un personaje de leyenda, en parte confundido con Guillermo de Gellone y Guillermo de Maleval, fundador de los guillemites.
William X, Duke of Aquitaine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William X (1099 – 9 April 1137), called the Saint, was Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, and Count of Poitou (as William VIII) between 1126 and 1137. He was the son of William IX by his second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.
William was born in Toulouse during the brief period when his parents ruled the capital. His birth is recorded in the Chronicle of Saint-Maixent for the year 1099: Willelmo comiti natus est filius, equivoce Guillelmus vocatus ("a son was born to Count William, named William like himself"). Later that same year, much to his wife's ire, Duke William mortgaged Toulouse to Philippa's cousin, Bertrand of Toulouse, and then left on Crusade.
Philippa and her infant son were left in Poitiers. Long after Duke William's return, he took up with Dangereuse, the wife of one of his vassals, and set aside his rightful wife, Philippa. This caused strain between father and son, until William married Ænor of Châtellerault, daughter of his father's mistress, in 1121. He had from her three children: Aliaenor, who would later become heiress to the Duchy; Aelith, who married Raoul I of Vermandois; and William Aigret, who died young.
As his father before him, William X was a patron of troubadours, music and literature. He was an educated man and strove to give his two daughters an excellent education, in a time when Europe's rulers were hardly literate.
When Eleanor succeeded him as Duchess, she continued William's tradition and transformed the Aquitanian court into Europe's centre of knowledge.
William was both a lover of the arts and a warrior. He became involved in conflicts with Normandy (which he raided in 1136, in alliance with Geoffrey le Bel of Anjou who claimed it in his wife's name) and France.
Even inside his borders, William faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him, an issue resolved with total destruction of the enemies. In international politics, William X initially supported antipope Anacletus II in the schism of 1130, opposite to Pope Innocent II, against the will of his own bishops. In 1134 Saint Bernard of Clairvaux convinced William to drop his support to Anacletus and join Innocent.
In 1137 William joined the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, but died of suspected food poisoning during the trip. On his deathbed, he expressed his wish to see king Louis VI of France as protector of his fifteen-year-old daughter Eleanor, and to find her a suitable husband. Louis VI naturally accepted this guardianship and married the heiress of Aquitaine to his own son, Louis VII.
Guillaume VIII/X Duc d'Aquitaine was born in 1099 in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrenees, France. He died on 9 Apr 1137 in Saint Jacques-de-Compostelle, Spain.

He was the son of William, the Troubador by his repudiated wife, Philippa of Toulouse. His younger brother was Raymond of Poitiers, ruler of the principality of Antioch, a crusader state. He married (Aenor) Eleanor of Chastellerault, daughter of his father's mistress, in 1121 and from her had three children: William Aigret, who died young; the heiress Eleanor of Aquitaine; and Petronilla of Aquitaine, who married Raoul I of Vermandois .As his father before him, William X was a patron of troubadours, music and literature . He was an educated man and strived to give his two daughters an excellent education in a time when Europe's rulers where hardly literate. When Eleanor succeeded him as Duchess, she continued William's tradition and transformed the Aquitanian court in of Europe's center of knowledge. Despite his love of the arts, William was not a peaceful man and was frequently involved in conflicts with the neighboring Normandy (which he raided in 1136) and France . Even inside his borders, William faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him, an issue resolved with total destruction of the enemies.

DUQUES DE AQUITANIA
1) Significado: La palabra "Aquitania" procede de "Occitania", es decir, la región más occidental de la Galias durante la dominación romana.
2) Casa solar: Aquitania, Francia. Ver mapa de Aquitania. Era una de las partes en las que se hallaba dividida la Galia, al sur oeste. Antiguamente estaba constituida por más de 20 pueblos o gentes, ninguno muy numeroso. Los aquitani siempre fueron considerados más afines a los iberos de España que a los galos. La lengua tenía una clara afinidad con la onomástica vasca. Gascuña, al sur del Garona, formaba parte de la Aquitania. Los romanos, entorno al año del nacimiento de Cristo, la dividieron en tres "Aquitanias". Durante la administración visigótica (a partir del año 416 d.C.) la Aquitania forma una unidad con su centro en Clermont Ferrand. Durante la dominación franca Aquitania pierde unidad por ser considerada como tierra de disputa entre los descendientes de Clodoveo. A principios del siglo VII el rey Dagoberto I entrega la Aquitania a su hermano Cariberto II como un "glacis aquitánico" que comprendía los condados de Tolosa, Cahors, Agen, Perigueux y Sanites, con capital en Toulouse. Estos condados desgajados volvieron a las manos de Dagoberto por la muerte de su hermano a mediados del siglo VII. Sin embargo, un hijo de Cariberto II de Neustria, llamado Boggis, se convierte en el primer duque de Gascuña (ver Duques de Gascuña) y principal señor de Aquitania. El bisabuelo de Carlomagno, Pipino de Hiristal, tuvo que luchar con Eudes (hijo de Boggis) por el dominio de la Aquitania. En época de Carlomagno, Aquitania fue constituida como reino e incluido en la Marca Hispánica. Luis "el Piadoso" gobernó Aquitania y luego también Carlos "el Calvo", que dividió el territorio de la antigua Aquitania dando una parte, en feudo, al duque de Poitiers y conde de Auvernia, Gerardo I, que estaba casado con una hermanastra suya, Rotruda. Los territorios desgajados por Carlos "el Calvo" (Poitou, Angomois, Saintogne) formaron el segundo ducado de Aquitania (el primero, la Guyena, quedó en la corona francesa de los capetos), que permaneció durante tres siglos en la Casa de Auvernia. Este territorio se enriqueció en el siglo XI con la anexión de la Gascuña. En 1137, al morir Guillermo VIII (ó X), último duque de Aquitania, Leonor su hija, casó con Enrique Plantagenet, rey de Inglaterra. De esta manera, el ducado de Aquitania quedó anexionado oficialmente a la corona inglesa, el año de 1203.

William X (1099 – 9 April 1137), called the Saint, was Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, and Count of Poitou (as William VIII) between 1126 and 1137. He was the son of William IX by his second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.
William was born in Toulouse during the brief period when his parents ruled the capital. His birth is recorded in the Chronicle of Saint-Maixent for the year 1099: Willelmo comiti natus est filius, equivoce Guillelmus vocatus ("a son was born to Count William, named William like himself"). Later that same year, much to his wife's ire, Duke William mortgaged Toulouse to Philippa's cousin, Bertrand of Toulouse, and then left on Crusade.

From:
William X (1099 – 9 April 1137), called the Saint, was Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, and Count of Poitou (as William VIII) from 1126 to 1137. He was the son of William IX by his second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.
William was born in Toulouse during the brief period when his parents ruled the capital. His birth is recorded in the Chronicle of Saint-Maixent for the year 1099: Willelmo comiti natus est filius, equivoce Guillelmus vocatus ("a son was born to Count William, named William like himself"). Later that same year, much to Philippa's ire, Duke William IX mortgaged Toulouse to Philippa's cousin, Bertrand of Toulouse, and then left on Crusade.
Philippa and her infant son William X were left in Poitiers. When Duke William IX returned from his unsuccessful crusade, he took up with Dangerose, the wife a vassal, and set aside his rightful wife, Philippa. This caused strain between father and son, until 1121 when William X married Aenor de Châtellerault, a daughter of his father's mistress Dangerossa by her first husband, Aimery.
William had three children with Aenor:
Eleanor, who later became heiress to the Duchy; Petronilla, who married Raoul I of Vermandois; William Aigret, who died at age 4 in 1130, about the time their mother Aenor de Châtellerault died.
He possibly had one natural son, William. For a long time it was thought that he had another natural son called Joscelin and some biographies still erroneously state this fact, but Joscelin has been shown to be the brother of Adeliza of Louvain. The attribution of Joscelin as a son of William X has been caused by a mistaken reading of the Pipe Rolls pertaining to the reign of Henry II, where 'brother of the queen' has been taken as Queen Eleanor, when the queen in question is actually Adeliza of Louvain. William, called of Poitiers in the Pipe rolls may have been a half brother of Eleanor. Chronicler John of Salisbury tells us that Petronella died in 1151 or 1152, after which her husband Raoul of Vermandois briefly remarried.
William administered his Aquitaine duchy as both a lover of the arts and a warrior. He became involved in conflicts with Normandy (which he raided in 1136, in alliance with Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou who claimed it in his wife's name) and for France.
Even inside his borders, William faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him, an issue resolved with total destruction of the enemies. In international politics, William X initially supported antipope Anacletus II in the papal schism of 1130, opposite to Pope Innocent II, against the will of his own bishops. In 1134 Saint Bernard of Clairvaux convinced William to drop his support to Anacletus and join Innocent.
In 1137 William joined the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, but died of suspected food poisoning during the trip. On his deathbed, he expressed his wish to see king Louis VI of France as protector of his fifteen-year-old daughter Eleanor, and to find her a suitable husband. Louis VI naturally accepted this guardianship and married the heiress of Aquitaine to his own son, Louis VII.
