Raymond Pons of Toulouse

Raymond Pons of Toulouse

Raymond (III) Pons (I) ["Regimundus Pontio"] (died after 944) was the Count of Toulouse from 924. He was the last head of his house to rule in Toulouse before the power passed to his cousins the counts of Rouergue.

In 932, he did homage to Rudolph of France and was created Duke of Aquitaine, ["Aquitanorum dux"] Count of Auvergne, and Margrave of Gothia, [Variously referred to as duke or prince: "Gothorum princeps".] even though William Towhead claimed the ducal title as well.

In 936, he founded the monastery of Chanteuges. Between 940 and 941, he controlled Auvergne. In 944, when Hugh the Great and King Louis IV entered Aquitaine, the former met Raymond at Nevers and confirmed his titles while the Toulousain returned with the king to the royal court.

He married a daughter of García II of Gascony, who was either the same person as his wife Gersenda or a distinct earlier wife, and was succeeded by his son Raymond III (or IV).
