Adelaide of Carcassonne
Overview
Biography
(See also Genealogical Table(s): 6.)
Adelaide was the daughter of Rangard of La Marche and Peter Raymond of Carcassonne. She was married to William Raymond, count of Cerdagne, who seems to have repudiated her, giving her and the lands she brought to the marriage, to her aunt and uncle, Almodis of La Marche and Raymond/Ramon Berenguer I, in 1067, for 4000 Barcelona marks (LFM #815: .. . ego ... Guillermus . . . dono vobis ac diffinio et personam prefate Adalaidis et omne directum ... quas ... habeo...."). Adelaide did not, apparently fight the dissolution of her marriage, but neither did she renounce her claim to those lands, which the death of her brother Roger gave her, until 1070 (LFM #822).
