Yes. This was only recently rediscovered. There is a surviving charterin which Guillaume names his wife Emma and mother Adelaide, and there isevery reason to think this was the same Adelaide, known to have married"Count Raimond". The chronology is aufully long to have William a son ofRaymond Pons as well, and the near-contemporary Roda Codex gives RaymondPons no son William, but does give him a son Raymond. These make itevident that a reworking is in order.

I don't think there is enough information to provide such a date.Certainly both of them you give are nothing more than guesses, and needto be adjusted. As to William's birth, this date is wrong, based on hismistaken placement as son of Raymond Pons. A more recent guess is about975.
> Who are ALL of her children (with the correct fathers)?
Stasser gives her the following:
by Etienne de Brioude:
1. Pons de Gevaudan
2. Bertrand de Brioude
3. Etienne de Brioude

5?. daughter, wife of Herbert of Troyes
by Raymond:
6. Guillaume Taillefer
7?. Toda/Adelaide, Countess of Besalu (I question this one)
8?. Letgarde
by Guillaume II of Provence:
9. Guillaume III
10. Constance, Queen of France
