Boson de Provence (latin Boso) is the son of Bivin de Gorze, also known as Bivin de Vienne, he married in 876 Ermengarde, daughter of Emperor Louis II the Younger.
His sister Richilde d'Ardennes is first the concubine and finally the second wife in 870 of Charles II the Bald, King of West Francia and Emperor of the West, who grants his brother-in-law Boson many favors, including the abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune which had been owned by his maternal uncle Hucbert.
Through his excellent family relations, Boson reached high office before emancipating himself by being crowned king of Provence. He is named Boson V by the genealogists of the Bosonides.
In the fall of 870, Boson was the executor of Duke Gérard II of Paris, along with the Marquis Bernard of Gothie [ref. necessary]. That same year, he received the administration of the county of Troyes.
In January 871 Charles II the Bald appointed him Duke of Lyonnais and Viennois (Bourgogne Cisjurane) in succession to Girart de Vienne.
In 872, Charles the Bald appointed him advisor to his son Louis le Bègue , king of Aquitaine since 867. Appointed count of Bourges, chamberlain and master of bailiffs, Boson received the functions of Count Gérard d'Auvergne (son of Gérard d'Auvergne who died in 841 during the battle of Fontenoy-en-Puisaye), deposed by the king.
In 875, on the death of Emperor Louis II the Younger, Boson accompanied King Charles II the Bald who left for Italy to receive the title of emperor from Pope John VIII. The new emperor, Charles, appoints his brother-in-law, duke in Italy and duke of Provence .
In February 876 or September 877 in Pavia, Charles the Bald before leaving for the kingdom of France, appointed Boson viceroy of the kingdom of Italy. That same year in Rome, he married Ermengarde, the only daughter of the deceased Emperor Louis II the Younger.
In March 877, Boson returned to France, recalled by Charles II the Bald. The latter then says the Italian kingdom and duchy of Provence to Abbot Hugh, son of Conrad I of Burgundy and nephew of the Empress Judith of Bavaria , wife of Emperor Louis the Pious and associates Richard the Justice , brother of Boson.
That same year, on the death of his uncle, Count Ecchard, Boson received the county of Mâcon and the county of Chalon. With its two new strongholds, Boson is now master of almost the entire Rhône valley (Viennois and Lyonnais), the Saône valley (Mâconnais and Chalonnais) and Provence.
Boson de Provence (Latijn Boso) is de zoon van Bivin de Gorze, ook bekend als Bivin de Vienne, hij trouwde in 876 Ermengarde, dochter van keizer Lodewijk II de Jonge.
Zijn zus Richilde d'Ardennes is eerst de concubine en tenslotte de tweede echtgenote in 870 van Karel II de Kale, koning van West-Francië en keizer van het Westen, die zijn zwager Boson vele gunsten verleent, waaronder de abdij van Sint -Maurice d'Agaune die eigendom was geweest van zijn oom van moederszijde Hucbert.
Door zijn uitstekende familierelaties bereikte Boson een hoge functie voordat hij zichzelf emancipeerde door tot koning van de Provence te worden gekroond. Hij wordt Boson V genoemd door de genealogen van de Bosoniden.
In de herfst van 870 was Boson de executeur-testamentair van hertog Gérard II van Parijs, samen met de markies Bernard van Gothie [ref. nodig]. Datzelfde jaar ontving hij het bestuur van het graafschap Troyes.
In januari 871 benoemde Karel II de Kale hem tot hertog van Lyonnais en Viennois (Bourgogne Cisjurane) als opvolger van Girart de Vienne.
In 872 benoemde Karel de Kale hem tot adviseur van zijn zoon Louis le Bègue, koning van Aquitanië sinds 867. Benoemd tot graaf van Bourges, kamerheer en meester van gerechtsdeurwaarders, ontving Boson de functies van graaf Gérard d'Auvergne (zoon van Gérard d'Auvergne die in 841 sneuvelde tijdens de slag bij Fontenoy-en-Puisaye), afgezet door de koning.
In 875, bij de dood van keizer Lodewijk II de Jongere, vergezelde Boson koning Karel II de Kale die naar Italië vertrok om de titel van keizer te ontvangen van paus Johannes VIII. De nieuwe keizer, Karel, benoemt zijn zwager, hertog van Italië en hertog van de Provence.
In februari 876 of september 877 benoemde Karel de Kale in Pavia, voordat hij naar het koninkrijk Frankrijk vertrok, Boson tot onderkoning van het koninkrijk Italië. Datzelfde jaar trouwde hij in Rome met Ermengarde, de enige dochter van de overleden keizer Lodewijk II de Jonge.
In maart 877 keerde Boson terug naar Frankrijk, teruggeroepen door Karel II de Kale. De laatste zegt dan het Italiaanse koninkrijk en het hertogdom van de Provence tegen abt Hugo, zoon van Conrad I van Bourgondië en neef van keizerin Judith van Beieren, echtgenote van keizer Lodewijk de Vrome en metgezellen Richard the Justice, broer van Boson.
Datzelfde jaar, bij de dood van zijn oom, graaf Ecchard, kreeg Boson het graafschap Mâcon en het graafschap Chalon. Met zijn twee nieuwe bolwerken is Boson nu meester van bijna de hele Rhône-vallei (Viennois en Lyonnais), de Saône-vallei (Mâconnais en Chalonnais) en de Provence.
