   Note: 1 Review: Covering the centuries between the disintegration of the Carolingian empire and the rise of the French monarchy, this book traces the long period of gestation that ended with the emergence of the kingdom of France as a recognizable political entity capable of inspiring the loyalty of its peoples. The author describes the emergence in the late ninth and tenth centuries of principalities and lesser political units in which the personal qualities or resources of the rulers permitted them to command obedience. In the eleventh century, the threat of political fragmentation led princes to establish sounder theoretical foundations for their authority in legal and administrative procedures. The twelfth-century kings of France, hitherto little more than princes of the Ile-de-France, exploited the state-building activities of their princes to re-establish their own lordship over all the princes, counts, and bishops within their realm. At the same time, they contrived to identify themselves in their subjects' imaginations with the dawning sense of French community. By 1180 the kingdom of France was firmly established, both on the map of Europe and in the minds of its inhabitants.
   
2. Title: Foundation for Meideval Genealogy: COMTES de SUBSTANTION et de MELGUEIL
   Publication: Name: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/TOULOUSE%20NOBILITY.htm#_ftnref434;
   Note: COMTES de MELGUEIL A. COMTES de SUBSTANTION et de MELGUEIL Melgueil is now known as Mauguio {Hérault}. However, the ancient form of the name is too widely known to be changed in this document. Substantion is near Castelnau-le-Lez {Hérault}. The cathedral of Maguelone was built in the territory of the comté de Melgueil but is now a ruin in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone {Hérault}. The town of Montpellier also later developed in the same area. Isolated references to comtes de Melgueil are found in primary sources from the late 8th century. These are shown in Part A of this chapter, but any family reconstruction on the basis of this information would be guesswork. Pierre Comte de Melgueil recognized the suzerainty of the Pope 27 Apr 1085, and was confirmed as Comte de Melgueil, Maguelone et Substantion for life. In 1172, Beatrix Ctss de Melgueil disinherited her son Bertrand and appointed her daughter Ermessende as her successor in the county. Ermessende was married later the same year to Raymond de Toulouse (who later succeeded as Raymond VI Comte de Toulouse) and transferred the county to her husband by her testament dated 1176. Bertrand unsuccessfully contested these arrangements, seeking support from Alfonso II King of Aragon to whom he swore homage in 1172. The comtes de Toulouse ruled Melgueil until 1211 when Pope Innocent III enfeoffed it to the bishop of Maguelone. 1. AIGULF . [752] . Ardo's Life of St Benedict names "pater eius [St Benoît d'Aniane] Aigulfus…Magalonensis comes." a) WITIZA ([750-Aachen 821). He was known as Benoît d'Aniane, and founded the abbey of Aniane {Hérault]. Both his and his father's names are indicative of Visigoth ancestry. 2. AMICUS . Comte. The acts of the Council of Narbonne 778 name "…Amicum Magalonensem comitem" as a witness for Justin Bishop of Agde. 3. ROBERT . A charter of Emperor Louis I "le Pieux" in favor of Argemire Bishop of Maguelone names "…in territorio Magalonensi…sicuti eam Robertus comes." 4. ADOLPHE . A charter of Emperor Louis I "le Pieux" ordered the execution of his orders by Adolphe which his predecessor Comte Robert had not completed "in pago Juviniaco et apud Juncherias." 5. ERNEST . A necrology of the church of Substantion names comte Ernest. 6. EVERARD . An inventory of assets at the time of the separation of Montpellier into the bourgs of Montpellier and Montpellieret, dated to [812/17] names comte Everard. 7. --- (-before 26 Jan 899 or [922]). m GUILLEMETTE [Willelma], daughter of --- (-after 26 Jan 899 or [922]). The testament of "Guillerma", dated 26 Jan [922] ("anno III regnante Carlo rege"), chooses her burial "in ecclesia Sancti Petri sedis Magalone", and names "Bernardo comiti filio suo." The document is dated 29 Jan 899 in the cartulary of Maguelone. The names of her descendants suggests a relationship with the family of St Guillaume. One child: a) BERNARD [I] .
   
3. Title: Wikiwand: County of Melgueil
   Author: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
   Publication: Name: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/County_of_Melgueil;
   Note: The County of Melgueil (Occitan: Melguelh, modern Mauguio) was a fief of first the Carolingian Emperor, then the King of France, and finally (1085) the Papacy during the Middle Ages. Counts probably sat at Melgueil from the time of the Visigoths. The counts of Melgueil were also counts of Maguelonne and Substantion from at least the time of Peter's homage to Pope Gregory VII on 27 April 1085. In 1172 Beatriu disinherited her son Bertrand and named her daughter Ermessenda her heiress. Later that year Ermessenda married the future Raymond VI of Toulouse and by her will of 1176 the county was to go to Toulouse. Bertrand refused to recognize his disinheritance and pledged homage as Count of Melgueil to Alfonso II of Aragon in 1172. The county fell to the Toulouse in 1190 and was annexed to the French crown in 1213, during the Albigensian Crusade. At the Fourth Council of the Lateran in 1215 it was given to the Diocese of Maguelonne and secular and ecclesiastical authority were merged. List of counts . Aigulf (c. 750) .
