William VIII of Montpellier
- William VIII of Montpellier
William VIII of Montpellier (died 1202) was Lord of Montpellier, the son of William VII.
He married Eudoxie or Eudokia Komnene, niece of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos. A condition of the marriage was that the firstborn child, boy or girl, would succeed to the lordship of Montpellier on William's death.
Wiiliam VIII was a patron of troubadours. Arnaut de Mareuil came to his court after fleeing from the entourage of Azalais of Toulouse, and at least one of Arnaut's poems is addressed to him.
William died in 1202. He and Eudoxie had no sons, and it was their daughter Marie of Montpellier who was to benefit from the terms of the marriage agreement.
