Bernard Plantapilosa

Bernard Plantapilosa

Bernard Plantapilosa (22 March 841 – 20 June 885 [Also possibly 6 January or 16 August 886] ), or Plantevelue, meaning Hairyfeet or Hairypaws, son of Bernard of Septimania and Dhuoda, was the Count of Auvergne (as Bernard II) from 872 to his death. The Emperor Charles the Fat granted him the title of Margrave of Aquitaine in 885.

His mother's "Liber Manualis" mentions that he was born at Uzès in the year following the death of Louis the Pious. He was appointed Margrave of Septimania (or Gothia) sometime before 868. He was the lay abbot of Brioude between 857 and 868 and Count of Autun and from 864 to 869. He was deposed sometime before 876 and replaced by Bernard of Gothia in that year. He returned to favour under Charles the Fat. At sometime during the war against Boso of Provence, he obtained the county of Mâcon.

He married Ermengard, daughter of Bernard I of Auvergne (or perhaps of Guerin I). Their son was William I of Aquitaine.
