Biography

(See also Genealogical Table(s): 5.)
Emma of Provence was the daughter of Rothbold III of Provence and Ermengarde.  She apparently inherited Avignon after the deaths of her father and her brother (HGL 3.225).  She married William III of Toulouse with whom she had Pons, count of Toulouse (the second husband of Almodis of La Marche) and Bertrand, count of Venaissin.  Pons is described as the son of Emma, filius Emma, in an agreement to a sale (HGL 5.439, #217, CLXXXIV, dated c. 1040).
