| Notes |
- Some histories shown him as Judiarch of Narbonne and Exilarch of Bagdad, and secretly a prince of the house of David. This theory derives from Arthur Zuckerman's book _A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900_ (New York, 1972), the thesis of which is not accepted by historians. Regardless, William was an impressive figure about whose career the largest body of heroic poetry in medieval France, the 'Saint William cycle' of chansons de geste, developed in the centuries following his death.According to Pierre Betourn‚ d
Haucourt in "Heraldique et Genealogie, 1981, p.363: Guilhem, Margrave of Toulouse, later monk at Gellone, canonised as St. William of the Desert (St.Guilhem du Desert), * ca. 752, +812. The remains of the monastery where he resided and which was named after him (Saint-Guilhem-le-D‚sert) were transported to New York and re-built in the Cloisters complex of the Metroploitan Museum of Art earlier this century;.
Saint Guillaume, Count de Toulouse (Andre Roux: Scrolls, 156.)(Paul,
Nouveau Larousse Universel.) (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners,Page 234,
Line 329-40). AKA: Guillaume de Narbonne. AKA: Guillaume, Dukede
Septimanie.
Also Known As: Guillaume "Le Grand". Note -: Saint Guillaumefought
against the sarrasins. In Gellone (Herault, France), he foundedthe
monastery of Sain-Guilhem-du-Desert. He was Count de Toulouseand
also Duke of Aquitaine.
Born: before 776 in Languedoc, France, son of Theodoric=Thierri,Count de
Toulouse and Aldane=Aude Martel, Saint Guillaume is presumed tohave
been at least 18 years of age by the time his son Bera was born.
Married before 794 in France: Kunigonde N?; Kunigonde was St.
Guillaume's first wife. Married before 800: Guiburge deHornbach,
daughter of Lambert, Count de Hornbach. Guiburge was SaintGuillaume's
second wife. Died: in 812 in Gellone, Herault, France.
