  Bernard Plantevelue (Uzès, 22 maart 841 - ?, 885) was een zoon van graaf Bernard van Septimanië en Dhuoda.
  
  In 864 kreeg hij het graafschap Autun van Karel de Kale toegewezen, maar verloor deze gebieden nadat hij was aangeklaagd voor moordaanslag op Karel de Kale. Nadat Bernard zich opnieuw verzoend had met Karel de Kale, verkreeg hij in 868 de graafschappen Auvergne en Velay. In 872 dan werd hij graaf van Toulouse, Limoges en Rodez en tevens raadgever van de jonge Lodewijk de Stamelaar, zoon van Karel de Kale en hertog van Aquitanië. Voor zijn steun aan Lodewijk de Stamelaar, verkreeg Bernard de mark Gothië en het graafschap Bourges. Onder Lodewijks opvolgers, Lodewijk III en Carloman, verwierf hij nog Mâcon en van Karel III van Oost-Francië kreeg hij Lyon.

  Bernard Plantapilosa (22 March 841 – 886[1]), or Plantevelue, son of Bernard of Septimania and Dhuoda, was the Count of Auvergne (as Bernard II) from 872 to his death. The Emperor Charles the Fat granted him the title of Margrave of Aquitaine in 885.
  
  His mother's Liber Manualis mentions that he was born at Uzès in the year following the death of Louis the Pious. He was appointed Margrave of Septimania (or Gothia) before 868. He was the lay abbot of Brioude between 857 and 868 and Count of Autun and from 864 to 869. He was deposed before 876 and replaced by Bernard of Gothia in that year. He returned to favour under Charles the Fat. In the war against Boso of Provence, he obtained the county of Mâcon.
  
  He married Ermengard, daughter of Bernard I of Auvergne (or perhaps of Guerin I). Their son was William I of Aquitaine.
  Etymology
  
  Plantapilosa is often claimed to mean "Hairyfeet" or "Hairypaws".[2] This is based on the Latin meaning "sole of foot" of planta. However, in Basque, which is believed to be a dialect of Old Aquitanian, planta means "appearance" yielding the meaning "Hairy appearance". Also, planta has another Latin meaning, "shoot for propagation". This yields the meaning "Hairyshoot" which, since the broom shoot is hairy, can be compared with the "sprig of broom" symbolism of the subsequent, nearby Plantagenet name.[3] In Old Aquitanian, gods' names were cognate with Basque words for animals and plants.

• He died in the year 885, he was 43 years old.
• A child of Bernard I van Septimanië and Dhuoda van Gascogne
