- Mathilde ("Maud, Mahaut, Mahalta") was the daughter of Robert "Guiscard" de Hauteville, Duke of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily and his second wife Sichelgaita / Sikelgaita di Salerno. [1]
Marriages and family
Mathilde (Maud / Mahalta) was first married to Ramon Berenguer (II), Count of Barcelona and was known as "Mahalta" in Catalonia. Her husband Ramon Berenguer and his twin brother Berenguer Ramon co-ruled the county of Barcelona following the death of their father in 1076. [2]
Mahalta and Ramon Berneguer had a son Ramon Berenguer who was born on 12 Nov 1082 - and within weeks the two brothers became involved in a quarrel with Berenguer Ramon calling for a division of the estate. On 6 Dec 1082 near Girona, Mahalta's husband Ramon Berneguer was killed by his brother Berenguer Ramon, who then became the sole count. [2]
Mahalta and their infant son were supported by other members of the Catalan nobility and she later remarried to Narbonne-17:Aimery de Narbonne, with whom she had four children. [2] [3]
Their son Ramon Berenguer eventually succeeded his uncle as Ramon Berenguer (III), Count of Barcelona. [2]
Ramon Berenguer (III) de Barcelona and his mother Mahalta issued a charter on 6 June 1112, which is the last know document reflecting her, so she died sometime after that date. [2] [3]
