    Notes 
    • Ricard (Occitan) / Richard (French) de Millau (who became Richard II, Vicomte de Millau et de Gévaudan) was reflected in a charter of 22 Mar 1023 related to hearings at Narbonne. [1]

      Millau, located in the historic region of Occitània (oc) / Occitanie (fr), was previously referred to as Milhau and Amilhau, tracing its history to the Roman town of Amiliavum - and to the Gallic town of Condatomagus before the arrival of the Romans. [2] [3]

      Richard I, Vicomte de Millau - who died between sometime between 1013 to 1023 - and his wife Senegonde de Béziers are considered to be the likely parents of Richard II. [1]

      Marriage and Family
      Richard married Rixinde de Narbonne, who was the daughter Berenger, Vicomte de Narbonne and his wife Gersende de Besalú. [1] [4] [5]

      Rixinde and Richard had six children: [1]

      Berenguer (Berenger) - who eventually succeeded his father as Vicomte de Millau
      Rogièr (Roger)
      Bernat (Bernard)
      Hugo (Hugues)
      Ramon (Raimond)
      Ricard (Richard)
      Succession
      Richard died in about 1050 (and prior to April 1051) and was succeeded by their eldest son as Berenguer (Berenger), Vicomte de Millau. [1] [5]

      Richard's wife Rixinde lived at least another twenty years, dying sometime after 1070. [4]

      Research Note

Ancestor of the Queens of England, France, and Sicily, and Queen of the Romans, daughters of Raymond Berengar IV of Provence and Beatrice of Savoy.
