Count Pons OF TOULOUSE

  General Notes:

Already in 1030, he possessed a lot of power in the Albigeois. In 1037, he gave many allodial churches and castles, including one half of that of Porta Spina, in the Albigeois, Nimois, and Provence as a bridal gift to his wife Majore.

In 1038, he split the purchase of the Diocese of Albi with the Trencavel family. In 1040, he donated property in Diens to Cluny. In 1047, he first appears as count palatine in a charter donating Moissac to Cluny.

Pons married Almodis de la Marche, daughter of Count Bernard de la Marche I and Amélie, in 1045. (Almodis de la Marche was born circa 1020 and died on 16 Oct 1071.)
