Counts of Toulouse
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COU : Counts of Toulouse
After the Visigothic Kings of Aquitaine (409–508), the Merovingian were kings and dukes in Aquitaine and dukes of Toulouse.
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 Aquitaine, died 849
- Bernat of Septimania, assassinated in 844
- Freddon (d. 852)
- Raymond I (852–862)
- Bernard (862–872)
- Eudes (872–919)
- Raymond II (919–924)
- Raymond III Pons (924–c.950)
- Raymond IV (c. 950–961)
- Hugh (961–972)
- Raymond (972–978) [recent 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)
