A picture of Count William IV of Toulouse

William of Toulouse

William was the fourth count of Toulouse. Like many other French noblemen, he donated money and land to religious institutions.

He is my 24th great-grandfather.

Philippa of Toulouse

Philippa was a countess in her own right when she married William IX, Duke of Aquitaine. She married him because she wanted help getting Toulouse back from her cousin who should not have inherited it.
She is my 23rd great-grandmother.
