  William III Taillefer (also spelled Tallefer or Tallifer) (c.?970 – September 1037) was the Count of Toulouse, Albi, and Quercy from 972 or 978 to his death. He was the first of the Toulousain branch of his family to bear the title marchio, which he inherited (c.975) from Raymond II of Rouergue.

  Life
  
  William was the son of Raymond III Pons and Garsinda.[a][1][2] In 972, in his mother countess Garsinde's will, William was disinherited of certain properties formerly belonging to the countship of Toulouse in favor of her own family.[3] In this regard, at least until her death, she wielded more power as the dowager countess than William did as count.[4]
  
  He and his vassals were notorious usurpers of church property. He stole from the abbey of Lézat, but gave it back between 1015 and 1025. Pope John XIX ordered him to stop his vassals from taking the lands of Moissac, a problem later remedied by his successor, Pons II, who gave Moissac to Cluny.
  
  William became the most powerful prince in western Languedoc and he saw the rise of the House of Capet in France and a corresponding decrease in royal authority recognised in the south. He bore the title of marchio prefatus in pago Tholosano: "prefect margrave in the Toulousain country." His influence extended into the Narbonensis and even Provence, on behalf of his wife. His power did not remain undiminished in his own city of Toulouse, where he was forced by a council of local noblemen and clerics to give up dues imposed on the market there.
  Family
  
  c.?975 William married Arsinde d'Anjou, daughter of Fulk I, Count of Anjou and Roscille de Loches.[1] Together they had:
  
  Raymond, died young.[1]
  Heinrich (Henry), died young.[1]
  
  In 1019 William married Emma, daughter of Rotbold III of Provence.[1] From her he gained titles and lands to Provence.[5] Together they had:
  
  Pons II, inherited Toulouse and the title of Margrave of Provence.[1]
  Bertrand[1] became Count of Forcalquier, a Provençal fief.
  Rangarda, wife of Peter Raymond of Carcassonne.[1]
  N.N., wife of Fulk Bertrand of Provence by Emma.[1]
  
  William also had an illegitimate daughter, N.N., who married Otto Raymond of L'Isle-Jourdain.[1]
