Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Poitou
William IX (b. Oct. 22, 1071--d. Feb. 10, 1127, Poitiers, Fr.), medieval troubadour, count of Poitiers and duke of Aquitaine and of Gascony (1086-1127), son of William VIII and grandfather of the famous Eleanor of Aquitaine.
William IX spent most of his life in warfare, including leading an unsuccessful Crusade to the Holy Land (1101-02) and battling the Moors near Cordova (1120-23). His fame rests chiefly, however, on his being the first poet in the Provençal language whose works have come down to us. His chansons, or songs, are boisterous, amorous, humorous, usually delicate but sometimes coarsely obscene and tend, in the fashion of courtly love, to idolize one's lady love. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
Assisted Philip I of France against William the Conqueror. He erected the Palace of Poictou, and, after confering large donations on the Church, died. The dates and name are unclear. Some label him as William VII. [Directory of Royal Genealogical Data]
