  Notes	Almodis de la Marche was born by about 1018 (based on her first marriage in about 1038) and was the third child of Bernard I, Comte de la Marche and his wife Amelie. [1] [2] [3] Parents and Comté de La Marche Bernard, her father, became the third count of La Marche - a County (Comté) in the center of France to the north of Limoges - in 1010, upon the death of her grandfather Audebert, Comte de la Marche. [1] [4] Bernard and Amelie had six children, of which Almodis was the eldest daughter: [1] Audebert II Eudes I Almodis Raingarde Lucie Agnes Marriages m1: (about 1038, repudiated for consanguinity) Hugues V "le Pieux," Sieur de Lusignan (d. 08 Oct 1060) m2: (about 1040 - bef 1053 repudiated) Pons II, Comte de Toulouse m3: (1053 after 23 Jun) Ramon Berenguer "el Viejo," Conde de Barcelona (1023 - 26 May 1076). Her third husband Ramon was married to her sister Rangearde de la Marche's daughter Isabela Trencavel. Their son, Pere-Ramon, was Ramon's original heir. Pere-Ramon apparently resented Almodis' influence and was concerned she was trying to replace him with her own two sons, his consanguinous nephews, who had both his late mother's and his step-mother's claims through their father, Count La Marche. He murdered her in October 1071. Pere-Ramon was disinherited and exiled for his crime wherefore he fled the country. [2] [3] Sources ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Cawley, Charles.
