William IX., the Troubadour, born October 22, 1071, was Duke of
Aquitaine, 1086-1126. He was also William VII, Count of Poitou. He
married (1) Ermengarde, daughter of Fulk, Count of Anjou, but this
marriage was dissolved in 1091, and a year later Ermengarde married the
Duke of Brittany. William IX. married (2) Philippa (Maud) of Toulouse,
born circa 1073, died November 28, 1117, widow of King Sancho Ramir
Aragon, and daughter of William IV., Countof Toulouse, who was born in
1040 and died in 1093/1094, and his wife Emma of Mortaigne, born circa
1058, daughter of Robert, Count of Mortaigne. William IX is credited
with having written the first troubadour love poetry. See details of h
life in Meade's "Eleanor of Aquitaine." In her later years Philippa
retired to the Abbey of Fontevrault, where, ironically, Ermengarde,
William's first wife was residing, who ended her life as a nun. Philippa
diedon November 28, 1118. After her death, Ermengarde tried to reinstate
herselfas the Duchess of Aquitaine, and have the Pope Calixtus II
excommunicate William and oust Dangereuse, his mistress, so that she,
Ermengarde, might resumeher rightful place. William IX finally died on
February 10, 1126/1127.
