Mathilde (Mahud) var gift 2. gang ca. 1085 med Aymeri I, vicomte av Narbonne. Hun
beholdt sin grevinne-tittel.
Grevinne av La Marche.
Noen mener at Almodis var enke etter greve Adelbert I av La Marche og datter til
Gerard, vicomte av Limoges. Dette er sikkert uriktig og en forveksling med den Almodis som
kanskje var hennes bestemor og som ca. 997 ble gift med Wilhelm den Store, greve av
Poitou, i hans første ekteskap og som døde allerede ca. 1005-11.
Almodis var åpenbart temmelig intrigant. Hun hadde tre ektemenn i live samtidig.
Hennes første ektemann var greve Hugo av Leizignan. I ?Enciclopedia universal
illustrada Evropo-Americana? heter det at det var en greve av Arles som ble drept
08.10.1060 og som forstøtte henne under påskudd av for nært slektskap.
Hun var gift 2. gang ca. 1040-45 med Pons av Toulouse som forstøtte henne ca. 1053.
Hun ble så gift med Raimund mellom 04.11.1053 og 04.11.1054. Dette
ekteskap ble bekreftet av Pons i et dokument av
04.11.1056. Med Raimund hadde hun tvillingsønnene Raimund Berengar II og Berengar
Raimund II, samt to døtre, Sancha og Inés.
Mellom Almodis og Pedro Raimund, sønn til Raimund Berengar I i hans første ekteskap
med Isabel, oppstod det en bitter strid, utvilsomt fordi Almodis intrigerte for å berøve ham hans
førstefødselsrett. Det gikk så vidt at Pedro myrdet henne.
Murdered by her stepson, Peter Raimond of Barcelona.
Murdered by her stepson, Peter Raimond of Barcelona.
Murdered by her stepson, Peter Raimond of Barcelona.
Basic Life Information
Almodis de la Marche
Almodis de la Marche (990 or c. 1020 - 16 October 1071) was the daughter of Bernard I, Count of Marche and wife Amélie.
Marriages and Children
She married Hugh V of Lusignan around 1038 and they had two sons and one daughter:
Hugh VI of Lusignan (c. 1039-1101)
Jordan de Lusignan
Mélisende de Lusignan (b. bef. 1055), married before 1074 to Simon I "l'Archevêque", Vidame de Parthenay
Almodis and Hugh of Lusignan divorced due to consanguinity, and Hugh arranged for her to marry Count Pons of Toulouse in 1040. Together they produced several children, including:
William IV of Toulouse
Raymond IV of Toulouse
Hugh, Abbot of Saint-Gilles
Almodis of Toulouse, married Count Pierre of Melgueil
Abduction and Children
She was still Pons' wife in April 1053, but shortly thereafter Almodis was abducted by Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona. He kidnapped her from Narbonne with the aid of a fleet sent north by his ally, the Muslim emir of Tortosa. They married immediately (despite the fact both of her previous husbands were still alive) and they appear with their twin sons in a charter the next year. Pope Victor II excommunicated Almodis and Ramon for this illegal marriage until 1056. Together they produced four children:
Berenguer Ramon II, Count of Barcelona
Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Barcelona
Inés of Barcelona, married Count Guigues I of Albon
Sancha of Barcelona, married Count Guillermo Ramon I of Cerdagne
Almodis maintained contact with her former husbands and many children, and in 1066/1067 she traveled to Toulouse for her daughter's wedding. A few years before, in 1060, Hugh V of Lusignan had revolted against his lord, Duke William VIII of Aquitaine, in support of Almodis' son William IV of Toulouse. Her sons supported one another in military campaigns; Hugh VI of Lusignan, Raymond IV of Toulouse, and Berenguer Ramon all took the Cross.
Death
Her third husband Ramon had a son from a previous marriage, Pedro Ramon, who was his heir. Pedro apparently resented Almodis' influence and was concerned she was trying to replace him with her own two sons. He murdered her in October 1071. Pedro was disinherited and exiled for his crime, and fled the country. When his father died in 1076, Barcelona was split between Berenguer Ramon and Ramon Berenguer, Almodis' sons. The family history of murder did not end with Pedro Ramon, as Berenguer Ramon earned his nickname "The Fratricide" when he killed his own twin brother.

Almodis de la Marca
Almodis de la Marca. Nacida hacia 1020 y fallecida en Barcelona el 1 de noviembre de 1071. Era hija del conde occitano Bernardo I de la Marca (cuyos padres eran descendientes de Carlomagno) y de Amelia de Rasés.
Se casó en 1038 con Hugo V de Lusignan, naciendo un hijo:
Hugo VI de Lusignan (1039-1101)
El matrimonio fue anulado por motivos de consanguinidad, y Almodis se vuelve a casar en 1040 con el conde Ponce III de Tolosa, naciendo cuatro hijos:
Guillermo V de Tolosa
Raimundo IV de Tolosa
Hugo, Abad de Saint-Gilles
Almodis, casada en 1066 con el conde Pedro I de Melgueil
Este matrimonio duró unos diez años, hasta que el conde de Barcelona Ramón Berenguer I la secuestró y se casó con ella en el año 1052, repudiando a su segunda esposa, la condesa Blanca. Ésta apeló al Papa, y consiguió el apoyo de la abuela de Ramón Berenguer, la condesa Ermesenda, obteniéndose de Víctor II la excomunión para ambos, hecho que provocó una guerra que no se resolvió hasta finales de 1057. La pareja tuvo cuatro hijos:
Berenguer Ramón II de Barcelona
Ramón Berenguer II de Barcelona
Inés de Barcelona, casada con el conde Guigues II de Albon
Sancha de Barcelona, casada con el conde Guillermo Ramón I de Cerdaña.
Esta alianza matrimonial aportaba derechos sobre el Languedoc que reafirmaban las relaciones entre la casa de Barcelona con las tierras más allá de los Pirineos. Almodis, mujer madura,hermosa, y de una notable formación cultural, se asoció al gobierno de su marido y cooperó con él en la compra de los derechos sobre los condados de Carcasona y Rasés. Pero por cuestiones de sucesión se ganó la enemistad de su hijastro Pedro Ramón de Barcelona que la asesinó en el año 1071.

First of all, that ca. 990 birthdate is just wrong. As to remarrying while her former husband was still living, yes, she did that, twice, and it raised a few eyebrows at the time. She first appears as the wife of Ramon on 15 Feb 1054. Ramon Berenguer I had abducted her sometime the previous year, in Narbonne, with the aid of a fleet sent north by his ally the Muslim Emir of Tortosa. Although she appears at his side in 1054, they may not have sought formally to marry until closer to 1056, when their excommunication for the attempt was lifted after some months. She remained countess of Barcelona until she was murdered by his son (her stepson) Pere Berenguer on 16 October 1071. During the time Almodis was married to Ramon Berenger she had been instrumental in directing an intricate policy between her husband (Barcelona) and her sons by her second marriage (Toulouse). She helped secure Raymond Berenguer's purchase of Carcassonne, probably as an appanage for Pere Berenguer, to allow her own twin sons by Ramon Berenguer I to succeed in Barcelona. After her (third) husband's death in 1076, their twin sons succeeded, but one murdered the other 10 years later.4
!Title is; Countess of Barcelona.
There is some doubt as to the identity of Geoffrey's wife Almodis.
!Title is; Countess of Barcelona.
One LDS site suggests that Mathilda's parents were Robert I 'Guiscard ' de Hautville, b. 965 and his wife Sigelgaita Princess of Salerno b.9 70. That would make Mathilda's parents in their mid 80's at the timeo f her birth, this needs additional investigaiton.

* Pons of Toulouse
* Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona
FatherBernard I, Count of Marche
MotherAmélie
Almodis de la Marche (c. 1020 – 16 October 1071) was a French noble. She was famed for her marriage career, in particularly for her third marriage to Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona, with whom she committed double bigamy in 1053, for which the Pope had them excommunicated.
Almodis was the daughter of Bernard I, Count of Marche and wife Amélie.[2] She married '''Hugh V of Lusignan''' around 1038 and they had two sons and one daughter. Almodis and Hugh of Lusignan divorced due to consanguinity.[3] She later, with Hugh's assistance, married '''Count Pons of Toulouse''' in 1040.[4] Almodis was still Pons' wife in April 1053, when '''she was abducted by Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona.[5] He kidnapped her from Narbonne with the aid of a fleet sent north by his ally, the Muslim emir of Tortosa.[5] They married immediately (despite the fact both of her previous husbands were still alive)''' and they appear with their twin sons in a charter the next year. Pope Victor II excommunicated Almodis and Ramon for this illegal marriage until 1056.[6]
Almodis maintained contact with her former husbands and many children, and in 1066/1067 she traveled to Toulouse for her daughter's wedding. A few years before, in 1060, Hugh V of Lusignan had revolted against his lord, Duke William VIII of Aquitaine, in support of Almodis' son William IV of Toulouse.[4] Her sons supported one another in military campaigns; Hugh VI of Lusignan, Raymond IV of Toulouse, and Berenguer Ramon all took the Cross.
Her third husband Ramon was married to her niece, Isabela Trencavel, the daughter of Rangearde de la Marche. Their son, Peter Raymundi, was Ramon's original heir. Peter Raymundi resented Almodis' influence and was concerned she was trying to replace him with her own two sons, his consanguinous nephews, both who had claims through their father, Count La Marche. '''He murdered her in October 1071'''.[7] William of Malmesbury reflected that she was, "sad, [of] unbridled lewdness".[5]
Pere-Ramon was disinherited and exiled for his crime and fled the country. When his father died in 1076, Barcelona was split between Almodis' sons, Berenguer Ramon and Ramon Berenguer. The family history of murder did not end with Pere-Ramon, as Berenguer Ramon earned his nickname "The Fratricide" when he killed his own twin brother.
'''Family'''
She married Hugh V of Lusignan[5] around 1038 and they had two sons and one daughter:
* Hugh VI of Lusignan (c. 1039–1101)[2]
* Jordan de Lusignan
* Mélisende de Lusignan (b. bef. 1055), married before 1074 to Simon I "l'Archevêque", Vidame de Parthenay
Almodis and Hugh of Lusignan divorced due to consanguinity, and Hugh arranged for her to marry Count Pons of Toulouse in 1040.[5] Together they produced several children, including:
* William IV of Toulouse[2]
* Raymond IV of Toulouse[2]
* Hugh,[2] Abbot of Saint-Gilles
* Almodis of Toulouse, married Count Pierre of Melgueil[2]
In 1053, she married Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona.[5] Together they produced four children:

Almodis de La Marche, o Adalmode de la Marche, Almodis, anche in spagnolo, in catalano in francese, in aragonese, in portoghese e in galiziano, Almodis anche in latino e in occitano (1020 circa – 16 ottobre 1071), signora di Lusignano dal 1038 a poco dopo il 1040, contessa consorte di Tolosa dal 1045 al 1053 e contessa consorte di Barcellona dal 1053 al 1071.
===Origine===
Per quanto riguarda la sua origine[1][2], essa era figlia di Bernardo I (ca. 991- 16 giugno 1047) conte de La Marche e della moglie, Amelia de Rasés (? - † 1053); secondo altre fonti la madre di Almodis potrebbe essere anche Amelia di Montignac (ca. 989 -† ca. 1072) oppure Amelia d'Aulnay (ca. 990 -† ca. 1072), mentre altri la mettono in relazione con Ermengarda di Corson, viscontessa di Comborn (deducendolo dal documento n°97 del Cartulaire de l'abbaye d'Uzerche (Corrèze)[3]. Il nome della madre, ripreso da un documento del 1053 ("Almodis comitissa, filia que es Amelie comitisse") è citato dallo storico José Enrique Ruiz Domenec nel suo libro Quan els vescomtes de Barcelona eren (Barcelona, 2006), quando cita la figlia, Almodis, contessa di Barcellona, che riceve il giuramento di fedeltà dal vescovo di Barcellona, Guislaberto[4].
Secondo il Chronicon sancti Maxentii Pictavensis, Chroniques des Eglises d'Anjou Bernardo I de La Marche era figlio primogenito (ed unico) del Conte di Périgord e Conte de La Marche, Adalberto I[5] e della moglie, Almodia o Adalmoda, come ci riferisce la Cronaca di Ademaro di Chabannes[6].
===Biografia===
Nel 1038 circa Almodis sposò il signore di Lusignano, Ugo V detto il Pio[7] († 1060), che era il figlio primogenito del quarto Signore di Lusignano, Ugo IV detto il Bruno (le Brun) e di Adelarda, come ci conferma il documento n° 440 del Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Cyprien de Poitiers : (931-1155), che riporta di una donazione di Ugo IV di Lusignano (Ugo Liziniacensis), fatta ai monaci di Lusignano, citando come testimoni la moglie Adelarda (Hildeardis uxoris sue) e i due figli maggiori, Ugo e Rorgone (infantum suorum Hugonis et Rorgonis)[8].
Della madre Adelarda non si conoscono né gli ascendenti né il casato (secondo il Duguet era imparentata con i signori di Chabanais[9]).
Dopo il 1040 il matrimonio fu annullato per motivi di consanguineità[7], e Almodis, nel 1045, si risposò in seconde nozze con Ponzio[7], conte di Tolosa, che era vedovo, dal 1044 circa, della sua prima moglie, Mayor[10], che, secondo lo storico Justo Pérez de Urbel, era Mayor Sánchez di Navarra[11] (ca. 1015- prima del 1044)[12], che i cronisti francesi chiamavano "Majorie"[13], figlia del re di Pamplona, Sancho III Garcés di Navarra.
Nel giugno del 1053, secondo il documento n° 235 del volume V delle Preuves de l'Histoire Générale de Languedoc, Almodis suggerì al marito, Ponzio di codificare l'unione delle abbazie di Cluny, che avrebbe avuto la preminenza, e di Moissac[14]. Tale avvenimento viene ricordato anche dal documento n° 3344 delle Chartes de l'abbaye de Cluny del 29 giugno 1053[15].
Nell'estate del 1053, Raimondo Berengario I detto el Vell ("il Vecchio") (1024-1076), conte di Barcellona, fece rapire Almodis dal suo alleato[16], l'emiro musulmano di Tortosa, che con una flotta musulmana assalì Narbona e rapì la contessa, che fu portata a Barcellona, dove il conte Raimondo Berengario la convinse a sposarlo[5], pur essendo ancora in vita i rispettivi consorti[17], il suo secondo marito, Ponzio, e Bianca di Narbona, la moglie di Raimondo. Mentre Ponzio, tenuto in considerazione il documento del 29 giugno 1053, succitato, ripudiò Almodis, nella seconda metà del 1053[12], Bianca, sostenuta dalla nonna di Raimondo Berengario, Ermesinda di Carcassonne, si appellò al papa Vittore II che, qualche tempo dopo il matrimonio tra Raimondo e Almodis, avvenuto poco dopo il giugno 1053, li scomunicò.
Almodis compare citata in due documenti di donazione, assieme al terzo marito, Raimondo: una prima volta, verso la metà degli anni cinquanta, nella Colleció Diplomática de la casa de Temple de Barberà[1]; una seconda volta nel documento n° CCLXXIV, del Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Lérins, 1ère partie[18].
Nonostante le vicissitudini matrimoniali Almodis conservò un buon rapporto con tutti i figli ed anche i mariti:
* nel 1060, convinse Ugo V di Lusignano a schierarsi con suo figlio Guglielmo IV di Tolosa, quindi contro il suo sovrano il duca d'Aquitania Guido Goffredo, che avanzava delle pretese sul ducato di Tolosa
* nel 1065, si recò a Tolosa per il matrimonio della figlia Almodis di Tolosa
* infine i suoi figli presero parte, insieme, a diverse spedizioni militari e nel 1097, Ugo VI di Lusignano, Raimondo di Saint-Gilles e Berengario Raimondo II presero parte alla Prima crociata.
Il conte Raimondo Berengario dalla prima moglie, Isabella di Carcassonne, aveva avuto un figlio (altri due erano morti in tenera età), l'erede designato alla successione paterna, Pietro Raimondo (1050- dopo il 1073), che era molto affezionato ad Almodis, che l'aveva cresciuto come un figlio proprio; ma quando raggiunse la maggiore età ebbe la sensazione, forse a ragione, che la matrigna si adoperasse per rimpiazzarlo con i suoi due figli maschi, gemelli, nella successione alla contea di Barcellona; così l'assassinò[19], strangolandola, nel 1071. L'avvenimento è confermato dal Los Condes de Barcelona Vindicados, Tomos II, che cita il necrologio del monastero di San Cucufate il giorno 17 novembre[20]
Pietro Raimondo per il suo crimine fu diseredato ed esiliato, ed anche papa Gregorio VII, appena eletto, nel 1073 gli inflisse una penitenza per l'uccisione della matrigna[21].
Quando nel 1076 Raimondo Berengario morì, gli successero i figli gemelli Raimondo Berengario el Cap d'Estopes ("Testa di Stoppia") e Berengario Raimondo el Fratricida ("il Fratricida").
===Figli===
Almodis ebbe, dai vari mariti, numerosi figli:[2][22]:
ad Ugo diede tre figli[23]:
* Ugo[24], detto il Diavolo (ca. 1039 † tra il 1106 e il 1110), signore di Lusignano, che partecipò alla prima crociata, in Terra Santa e rientrò in Francia, dove morì.
* Giordano, gemello di Ugo[7], morto tra il 1060 e il 1078
* Melissenda (ca. 1040-1075) sposò Simone I di Parthenay, figlio di Guglielmo di Parthenay[23].
a Ponzio ne diede quattro[12]:
* Guglielmo IV[5] (ca.1046- Huesca 1094), conte di Tolosa e d'Albì e marchese di Provenza[25].
* Raimondo di Saint Gilles[5] (1048-1105), conte di Nîmes, conte di Tolosa e d'Albì, marchese di Provenza, che partecipò alla prima crociata, in Terra Santa, dove divenne conte di Tripoli[25] e morì durante l'assedio della città[26].
* Ugo di Tolosa, nominato nel documento n° 3392 delle Chartes de l'abbaye de Cluny del 1063[27], che dal 1066 fu abate a Saint-Gilles di Nîmes, e poi fu abate a Cluny[28].
* Almodis (ca. 1050- dopo il 1132) che sposò nel 1065: il conte Pietro di Melgueil, figlio del conte Raimondo e di Beatrice del Poitou, citata in diversi documenti del volume V delle Preuves de l'Histoire Générale de Languedoc, il n° 334[29], 353 I[30], 353 II[31] e 365[32].
a Raimondo Berengario ne diede cinque[22][33]:
* Raimondo Berengario II el Cap d'Estopes ("Testa di Stoppia")[34] (1054-1082, assassinato, sembra da un uomo della sua scorta in un bosco nei pressi di Barcellona), conte di Barcellona
* Berengario Raimondo II el Fratricida ("il Fratricida")[34] (1054-1097, a cui la voce popolare addebitò l'omicidio del fratello), conte di Barcellona e crociato in Terra Santa
* Arnaldo Pietro (ca. 1054-tra il 2 gennaio 1068 e il 12 novembre 1076), citata in due documenti di donazione, assieme ai genitori: una prima volta, nel 1054, nella Colleció Diplomática de la casa de Temple de Barberà[1]; una seconda volta nel documento n° CCLXXIV, del Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Lérins, 1ère partie, del 1068[18], ma non citato nel testamento del padre
* Inès o Agnese di Barcellona (ca. 1056-prima del 12 novembre 1076), che sposò, il 10 maggio 1070, il conte Ghigo II d'Albon, figlio di Ghigo I d'Albon e di Gotelene. Entrambi i coniugi non furono citati nel testamento di Raimondo Berengario I[33]
* Sancha di Barcellona (ca. 1058- dopo il 13 aprile 1102 in questa data è ricordata nel testamento del figlio, Guglielmo Giordano di Cerdanya[35]), che, secondo le Europäische Stammtafeln[36], vol III, 137 (non consultate), sposò, dopo il 12 novembre 1076, il conte di Cerdagna, Guglielmo Raimondo (?-ca. 1095) figlio del conte Raimondo Goffredo e di Adelaide[33].

Almodis de la Marche (990 or c. 1020 – 16 October 1071) was the daughter of Bernard I, Count of Marche and wife Amélie. She married Hugh V of Lusignan around 1038 and they had two sons and one daughter:
Hugh VI of Lusignan (c. 1039-1101)
Jordan de Lusignan
Mélisende de Lusignan (b. bef. 1055), married before 1074 to Simon I "l'Archevêque", Vidame de Parthenay
Almodis and Hugh of Lusignan divorced due to consanguinity, and Hugh arranged for her to marry Count Pons of Toulouse in 1040. Together they produced several children, including:
William IV of Toulouse
Raymond IV of Toulouse
Hugh, Abbot of Saint-Gilles
Almodis of Toulouse, married Count Pierre of Melgueil
She was still Pons' wife in April 1053, but shortly thereafter Almodis was abducted by Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona. He kidnapped her from Narbonne with the aid of a fleet sent north by his ally, the Muslim emir of Tortosa. They married immediately (despite the fact both of her previous husbands were still alive) and they appear with their twin sons in a charter the next year. Pope Victor II excommunicated Almodis and Ramon for this illegal marriage until 1056. Together they produced four children:
Berenguer Ramon II, Count of Barcelona
Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Barcelona
Inés of Barcelona, married Count Guigues I of Albon
Sancha of Barcelona, married Count Guillermo Ramon I of Cerdagne
Almodis maintained contact with her former husbands and many children, and in 1066/1067 she traveled to Toulouse for her daughter's wedding. A few years before, in 1060, Hugh V of Lusignan had revolted against his lord, Duke William VIII of Aquitaine, in support of Almodis' son William IV of Toulouse. Her sons supported one another in military campaigns; Hugh VI of Lusignan, Raymond IV of Toulouse, and Berenguer Ramon all took the Cross.
Her third husband Ramon had a son from a previous marriage, Pedro Ramon, who was his heir. Pedro apparently resented Almodis' influence and was concerned she was trying to replace him with her own two sons. He murdered her in October 1071. Pedro was disinherited and exiled for his crime, and fled the country. When his father died in 1076, Barcelona was split between Berenguer Ramon and Ramon Berenguer, Almodis' sons. The family history of murder did not end with Pedro Ramon, as Berenguer Ramon earned his nickname "The Fratricide" when he killed his own twin brother.

* Mélisende de Lusignan (b. bef. 1055), married before 1074 to Simon I "l'Archevêque", Vidame de Parthenay
Almodis and Hugh of Lusignan divorced due to consanguinity, and Hugh arranged for her to marry Count Pons of Toulouse in 1040. Together they produced several children, including:
* William IV of Toulouse
* Raymond IV of Toulouse
* Hugh, Abbot of Saint-Gilles
* Almodis of Toulouse, married Count Pierre of Melgueil
She was still Pons' wife in April 1053, but shortly thereafter Almodis was abducted by Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona. He kidnapped her from Narbonne with the aid of a fleet sent north by his ally, the Muslim emir of Tortosa. They married immediately (despite the fact both of her previous husbands were still alive) and they appear with their twin sons in a charter the next year. Pope Victor II excommunicated Almodis and Ramon for this illegal marriage until 1056. Together they produced four children:
* Berenguer Ramon II, Count of Barcelona
* Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Barcelona
* Inés of Barcelona, married Count Guigues I of Albon
* Sancha of Barcelona, married Count Guillermo Ramon I of Cerdagne
Almodis maintained contact with her former husbands and many children, and in 1066/1067 she traveled to Toulouse for her daughter's wedding. A few years before, in 1060, Hugh V of Lusignan had revolted against his lord, Duke William VIII of Aquitaine, in support of Almodis' son William IV of Toulouse. Her sons supported one another in military campaigns; Hugh VI of Lusignan, Raymond IV of Toulouse, and Berenguer Ramon all took the Cross.
Her third husband Ramon had a son from a previous marriage, Pedro Ramon, who was his heir. Pedro apparently resented Almodis' influence and was concerned she was trying to replace him with her own two sons. He murdered her in October 1071. Pedro was disinherited and exiled for his crime, and fled the country. When his father died in 1076, Barcelona was split between Berenguer Ramon and Ramon Berenguer, Almodis' sons. The family history of murder did not end with Pedro Ramon, as Berenguer Ramon earned his nickname "The Fratricide" when he killed his own twin brother

***NOTE: SOME records claim Death date is c. 1111-1112. However, other records show death in 1083 as death date in her young 20s which would be soon after marriage to Count Raymond Berenger II.
At least most records and profile managers concur with DOB c. 1055-1059***

867789489. Grevinne Almodis (Adalumz) BERNHARDSDTR av la Marche(20653) died in Nov 1071.(20654) Myrdet av sin stesønn Hugo She was a Grevinne in la Marche. (20655) Noen mener hun var enke etter grev Adelbert I av la Marche og datter av Gerard, vicomte av Limoges. dette er sikkert uriktig. Der forveksles her med den Almodis, som kanskje var hennes bestemor og som ble g.m Wilhelm den Store, greve av Poitou, i dennes første ekteskap og som døde allerede 1005/11.
Almodis var åpenbart temmelig intrigant, Hun hadde 3 ektemenn i live samtidig, og det heter at hun med Berengar Raimund I. hadde tvillingsønnene Raimund Berengar II og Berengar Raimund II, samt to døtre Sancha og Ines. Mellom Almodis og Pedro Raimund (sønn av Raimund Berengar I., i hans første ekteskap med Isabell) oppstod det en bitter strid, utvilsom t fordi Almodis intrigerte for å berøve ham hans førstefødselsrett. Det gikk på vidt at Pedro myrdet henne.
