Douce II, Countess of Provence
- Douce II, Countess of Provence
-
Douce II (also Dulcia or Dolça) (1165–1172) was the daughter of Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Provence, and Richeza of Poland. After her father died trying to conquer Nice in 1166, she inherited the County of Provence.
She was immediately opposed by her cousin, Alfonso the Chaste, King of Aragon and Count of Barcelona, who alleged that because her father had no male heirs, his county passed to him. In 1166, he took control of Provence, forcing her out.[1]
