Personal data William I Taillefer van Angouleme 

  • He was born in the year 895.Source 1
  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 2
    William Taillefer (died Aug 962) was also known as William II of Angoulême (being the second William in this family since Wulgrin I. His uncle, William I, being the first). He was the Count of Angoulême from 916 until his death in 962. He was the son of Alduin I.

    According to one source,[1] his surname, or sobriquet, was acquired due "...from the way in which he cut down a Norman Sea-king through his coat of mail." This Norman sea-king is identified as Storis.[2] The name Taillefer was used by subsequent members of this family, especially holders of the title Count of Angoulême.

    William was not married, but had at least one illegitimate son who would later claim the title of Count of Angoulême

    Willem Taillefer , (- 6 augustus 962) was de zoon en opvolger van graaf Alduin I van Angoulême (in de nummering van graven van Angoulême wordt hij gerangschikt als Willem II omdat hij in zijn familie ook effectief de tweede Willem was - de eerste Willem was Willem I van Périgord).

    Zijn bijnaam Taillefer (sector ferri) verkreeg hij doordat hij in een gevecht tegen de Noormannen hun koning Storis, niettegenstaande zijn harnas, met één sabelhouw in tweeën zou gesplitst hebben. Willems nageslacht zou de bijnaam blijven dragen.

    Volgens de kronieken was hij een zeer geliefd vorst. Niet duidelijk is of hij effectief tot zijn dood heeft geheerst. Vanaf 945 is immers sprake van de tak-Périgord die ook in Angoulême schijnen geheerst te hebben. Hij stierf in 962 en liet geen wettige erfgenamen na, wel onwettige waarvan één, Arnold(II), later het graafschap zou bekomen.
  • He died on August 6, 962, he was 67 years old.
  • A child of Alduin I van Angouleme
