| Notes |
- 750 Birth Year Estimation
He is often shown with a birth year of 750. His oldest son is shown as born in 768. This suggests an estimated marriage year of 767. If he was aged 21 at the time of his marriage, his estimated birth year would be 746, which is within the range of 750.
Parents
Gilbert's parents are unknown.
Gilbert is sometimes shown with father being Habibai ben Natroni David. This parentage reflects the supposition that Habibai came from Babylonia to the court of the Frankish kings, and was married to a woman there. See: Space: Legend of Makhir of Narbonne. The presence of Habibai ben Natroni David in this narrative suggests the influence of material from the Makhir of Narbonne Lagend.
Gilbert is also sometimes shown with mother Rolinde d'Aquitaine. This may also be part of the Makhir of Narbonne legend. The main difficulty of this maternal connection, however, is that, Rolinde is currently shown as dying 30 years before he was born.
The links to these claimed parents are shown to facilitate reconnecting should other facts become known.
768 Marriage
He is said to have married Bertha. If the dates of birth of his sons are correct, he married Bertha before 768.
790 Count of Rouergue
There were Counts of Rouerge from 790 to 1119, and Gilbert was the first. [1]
Rouergue (Occitan: Roergue) is a former province of France, bounded on the north by Auvergne, on the south and southwest by Languedoc, on the east by Gévaudan and on the west by Quercy. Its historical capital is Rodez. [2]
Issue
Fredelon b. Rouergue, 768.
Fulcoald of Rouergue, b. Rouergue, 780 (Fulcoald, Foucaud, Fulguald or Fulqualdus) is sometimes called the Count of Rouergue and founder of that dynasty of counts which ruled Toulouse and often all of Gothia for the next four centuries. In 837, he was appointed missus dominicus along with Ragambald in the pago Rutenico seu Nemausense: country of Rouergue and Nîmes (probably Septimania). Fulcoald married Senegunda (or Senegundia, French Sénégonde), whose family is not recorded, although some web sites, without source, name her as a daughter of Alda ("of Gellone"). By her he had two sons: Fredelo and Raymond. [3]
