    Notes:

    Seventh abbot of Cluny, 1109 to 1122.

    From James Westfall Thompson, "Notes and Studies on the Identity of Bernard of Cluny", citation details below:

    Pons was a godson of Paschal II and was one of the arbitrators of the conflict between that pope and the emperor, Henry V. He was consecrated to the abbot's office by the archbishop of Vienne, the future pope Callixtus II. It was Pons who so ably argued for the privileges of the abbey at the council of Rheims in 1119. This was the year also in which the king of France, Louis VI, took the great abbey of Cluny, together with its priories, under the royal protection, pronouncing it to be "a notable member of the kingdom."

    Pons was at the height of his power as abbot of Cluny when the crash of war came between the counts of Toulouse and Provence, which so diminished the power of the seigneurs of Montpellier.

    Notes:

    Also called Mathilda; Maud. Regent of Toulouse.

    Ancestral Roots and other sources to the contrary, she was probably never married to Sancho V Ramirez (1043-94), king of Aragon. Wikipedia's article on Philippa of Toulouse cites two sources to this effect:

    "Szabolcs de Vajay, 'Ramire II le Moine, roi d'Aragon et Agnes de Poitou dans l'histoire et la légende', in Me?langes offerts a? Rene? Crozet, 2 vol, Poitiers, 1966, vol 2, p 727-750; and Ruth E Harvey, 'The wives of the first troubadour Duke William IX of Aquitaine', in Journal of Medieval History, vol 19, 1993, p 315. Harvey states that, contrary to prior assumptions, William IX was certainly Philippa of Toulouse's only husband. Vajay states that the marriage to an unnamed king of Aragon reported by a non-contemporary chronicler is imaginary even though it has appeared broadly in modern histories, and likewise he cites J de Salarrullana de Dios, Documentos correspondientes al reinado de Sancho Ramirez, Saragossa, 1907, vol I, nr 51, p 204-207 to document that Sancho's wife Felicie was clearly still married to him just months before his death, making the marriage to Philippa several years earlier, as reported in several modern popular biographies of her granddaughter, completely unsupportable."

    Philippa married William IX of Aquitaine in 1094. William (son of Guy-Geoffrey of Poitou and Hildegarde of Burgundy) was born on 22 Oct 1071; died on 10 Feb 1126. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    1. 13. William X of Aquitaine  Descendancy chart to this point was born in 1099; died on 26 Mar 1136 in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain.
    2. 14. Agnes of Aquitaine  Descendancy chart to this point was born about 1105; died about 1159.
