Biography
Count of Armagnac; Duke of Gascony
He was recognized Duke of Gascony at the death of his uncle Odon of Aquitaine in 1039 as he was a direct descendant of Duke Guilhem Sans of Gascony. Later his title was contested by his uncle Guy-Geoffroy of Aquitaine, younger half-brother of Odon of Aquitaine, but not descending from Duke Guilhem Sans of Gascony. Guy-Geoffroy married Garsende of Périgord, daughter of Count Aldabert II of Périgord and his wife Alausie, herself the second daughter of the late duke Sans VI Guilhem of Gascony, thus reinforcing his claim to the title of Duke of Gascony. Eventually, after a protracted fight, Bernat II Tumapaler was defeated and had to relinquish the title of Duke of Gascony to Guy-Geoffroy. However, by then the title was almost empty, as most of Gascony had been dismembered and was in the hand of the counts of Béarn, Bigorre, Armagnac, Comminges, Astarac, and so on. Guy-Geoffroy had only conquered a rump Gascony.
He married Ermengard and had three children:
1. Arnold 2. Girard 3. Gisela married Centule V of Béarn
