  The Annals of Surita record that "Don Guillen de Moncada, hijo de Don Guillen Ramon de Moncada y de Donna Guillelma de Castelellvell, que caso con la vizcondessa de Bearne" was not present at the battle of Muret in 1213 but sent messengers to the king[116]. This source confuses Guillen with his paternal grandfather, in relation to the marriage with the heiress of Béarn, which would be impossible from a chronological point of view.
  
  He became an active member of a coalition of barons which became a council of regency for don Jaime I King of Aragon, Conde de Barcelona, in Sep 1216[117]. He was appointed procurator for Catalonia by Jul 1219[118], but fell into conflict with King Jaime [1221].
  
  "Guillermus Raymundi de Montecatano vicecomes Bearnensis" issued a charter for the church of Tarragona dated 27 Feb 1223, which names "Guillermi filii mei" and refers to the testament of "bonæ memoriæ fratris mei Gastonis vicecomitis Bearnensis"[119]. He succeeded his father in 1224 as GUILLAUME [II] Vicomte de Béarn et d’Oloron.
  
  m GERSENDE de Provence, daughter of ALFONSO de Aragón Comte de Provence & his wife Gersende de Sabran Ctss de Forcalquier. “Garsindis comitissa mater Gastonis...vicecomitis Bearni” agreed the marriage contract between “dictum dominum Gastonem...Marguaritam filiam” and “Rogerium...comitem Fuxensem et vicecomitem Castri-boni...Rogerium Bernardi filium”, dated 14 Oct 1252[120]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.
  
  Guillaume [II] & his wife had [three] children:
  
  a) CONSTANCE de Béarn. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "D. Diego Lopez señor de Biscaya" married "D. Constança de Bearne hermana de Gascon de Bearne"[121]. m DIEGO López, Señor de Vizcaya, Señor de Haro, son of LOPE Díaz “Cabeza bravo” Señor de Vizcaya, Señor de Haro & his wife Urraca Alfonso de León (-Baños de Río Tobia 4 Oct 1254, bur Santa María la Real de Nájera).

   Note: GUILLEN Ramón de Montcada, son of GUILLEN de Montcada [II] Señor de Montcada y Vic & his wife Marie de Béarn (1166-mid-1224, bur Sainte-Marie d'Oloron). He inherited the Montcada patrimony under the 1173 will of his grandfather. "Wastonius III filius Marie" and “Willelmus R frater memorati Gastonis” confirmed donations made by “predecessorum meorum” by undated charters[110]. It appears that he was responsible for the murder in 1194 of his wife's uncle Berenguer de Vilademuls, Archbishop of Tarragona, who was closely associated with don Alfonso II King of Aragon, Conde de Barcelona, in his struggle with the Cabrera-Castellbò party of which Guillem Ramon was a member. Although not directly punished for the crime, he spent much of the following 20 years in exile. He succeeded his brother in 1214 as GUILLAUME [I] Vicomte de Béarn. He resettled in Catalonia in [1215], seeking penance in Rome[111]. "W. R…vicecomes Bearnensis" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [1219], assuring him of the loyalty of the citizens of Bayonne[112]. "Guillermus Raymundi de Montecatano vicecomes Bearnensis" issued a charter for the church of Tarragona dated 27 Feb 1223, which names "Guillermi filii mei" and refers to the testament of "bonæ memoriæ fratris mei Gastonis vicecomitis Bearnensis"[113]. m (before 1185) [as her first husband,] GUILLEMA de Castellvell, daughter of GUILLEM [V] Senyor de Castellvell de Rosanes & his wife --- (-[1226/28]). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Annals of Surita which record that her son "Don Guillen de Moncada, hijo de Don Guillen Ramon de Moncada y de Donna Guillelma de Casteluell, que caso con la viscondessa de Bearne" was not present at the battle of Muret in 1213 but sent messengers to the king[114]. She was abandoned by her husband and married secondly (bigamously, 1202) as his first wife, Aimery [III] Vicomte de Narbonne. She returned to Catalonia after separating from her second husband in 1208[115]. She succeeded her brother in 1205 as Senyora de Castellvell de Rosanes, Mara, El Far, Pontous, Benviure, Llvaneres, Olesa, Voltrera. Guillaume & his wife had three children: 1. GUILLEN de Moncada ([1185]-1229).

   Note: Guillem Ramon de Moncada or Guillermo II de Bearn was, from 1224 until his death in 1229, Lord of Montcada and Castellví de Rosanes (in Catalonia) and, as Guillermo II, Viscount of Bearn, of Marsan, of Gabardan and of Brulhois (in the southwest of present-day France). He was the son of Guillem Ramon de Montcada and Guilleuma de Castellvell. Guillem II in a fresco on the walls of the house once belonging to Berenguer d'Aguilar de Barcelona. His shield shows a combination of the arms of Montcada and those of Béarn. Monument showing the family crest, near the location where Guillermo II de Bearn died in combat alongside his nephew Ramón during the conquest of Majorca. The monument is part of the decoration of the Paseo Calvia. The main thrust of his policy was the affairs of the Aragonese court, in which several families vied for influence over the young King James I.[1] In particular, he was involved in the preparation for the invasion of the Balearic islands.[1] In his last visit to Bearn, in February 1228, he promised the representative of the King of England that he would pay the latter homage throughout his lands in Aquitaine (Bearn, Gabardan, Brulhois and Captieux). This act marked the departure of Bearn from within the Aragonese domain and the start of its progressive submission to England. Back in Catalonia, he played a leading role in the council held in Salou which planned the conquest of Majorca. In September 1229 the fleet left for Majorca, with Guillermo commanding the first ship. The troops having landed, they engaged in the battle of Portopí, thus beginning the conquest of Majorca. The crew had faced little difficulty when they landed on the 12 September. However, Guillermo was killed, along with eight knights of his family, including his nephew Ramon de Moncada[2][3] in the Sierra de Na Burguesa (Calvia). In the division following the conquest of the island by the Crown of Aragon, the municipality of Costitx was given to Guillermo II de Bearn[4] and thus passed to his heirs. His mausoleum is in the church of the Monastery of Santes Creus. Descendants Guillem Ramon de Moncada had two children - Gastón, who succeeded him in 1229, and Constanza de Béarn, who married Diego López III de Haro, Lord of Vizcaya - with his wife Garsenda[1] (daughter of Alfonso II, Count of Provence and Garsenda de Folcarquier). If tracing Queen Victoria and Catherine the Great's ancestry through the direct female line (mother's mother's mothers), Constanza de Béarn is as far back as one can go, because both of them were direct female descendants of Duchess Marie Elisabeth of Saxony. Anne of Bohemia and Hungary is also direct female ancestor of Marie de' Medici and Charles II of England.
