OCCU cts. of Angouleme NN (poss. Regelinde or Roselinde, but not named in earlysources,called 'Sancha' by Vajay, see below at A2), called a sister ofWm.'Tolosanus' (d. 850, son of Bernard of
Septimania, son of SaintWilliam)m. Wulgrim, count of Angouleme, and brought him the city of Agenas dowry(Ademar of Chabannes, Chronicon, 3:20). ES 3:731, 817. FromWulgrim ofAngouleme there is
clear male-line descent to Isabella, wife ofKing Johnof England, and, via an earlier marriage, to the manydescendants ofAlmodis of La Marche in Toulouse and Barcelona, includingEleanor ofAquitaine.
This line was posted to s.g.m. on January 5, 1996 byAlan B.Wilson, launching an extended discussion of the 'Makhir'question. If theeleventh-century forger and pathological liar Ademar ofChabannes
can bebelieved (and that's a big if), and if the person he called"WillelmusTolosanus" must be the son of Bernard of Septimania (and that'sanotherif), then this is a clear line of descent.
