    Note: Bernard Roger (c. 962 – c. 1034) was the count of Couserans, in which capacity he was lord of parts of Comminges and Foix. He was the son of count Roger I of Carcassonne. His elder brother, Raymond I of Carcassonne inherited the county of Carcassonne and the remaining part of the lordship of Comminges. Bernard Roger's comital status is attested in the donation to the abbey of Saint-Hilaire in 1011. He is the founder of the House of Foix which ruled that county for centuries. During his father's lifetime, he married Garsenda, or Arsinde, the heiress of the county of Bigorre. He built the square tower of the castle at Foix in France and made it his capital, from which a town grew. He had endowed the monastery at Foix and in it he was buried when he died at the age of 72. His lands were divided: His eldest son, Bernard II of Foix, count of Bigorre, took the County of Bigorre. His second son, Roger I of Foix, count of Foix, became the first count of Foix, which included the castles of Castelpenent, Roquemaure, Lordat, and several within the county of Toulouse. His third and youngest son, Peter of Foix, lord of Couserans, inherited the lordship of Couserans. His daughter Ermesinda married King Ramiro I of Aragon

"Roggarius comes…cum coniuge comitissa Adalaice seu Regimundo sobole atque Bernardo sobole" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Hilaire by charter dated Aug 981[195]. "Rotgerius comes et marchio cum coniuge comitissa Adalaisse atque cum prole Regimundo Barnardoque" donated property with the abbey of Saint-Hilaire by charter dated 1 Nov 984[196]. "Rodgarius comes et uxor mea Aladaiz" donated property to the abbey of Lézat by charter dated Aug [1001], signed by "Ramundo, Bernardo, Petrone"[197]. “Rogerius comes”, under his testament dated to [1002], divided his properties, “ad Bernardo filio meo…comitatu de Cosoragno…castello de Fuxo”[198]. "Rogerius comes et conjux mea Adalaizis comitissa" donated property to Saint-Hilaire, including property which "frater meus Oddo comes habuit", for the soul of "fratris mei Oddoni comitis" and for "filio nostro Regimundo comite", by charter dated Apr 1011, signed by "…Bernardus et dominus Petrus…comites…"[199].

Comte de Bigorre, by right of his wife. m ([1010]) GERSENDE Ctss de Bigorre, daughter of GARCIA ARNAUD Comte de Bigorre & his wife Ricarda --- ([986]-[1032/34]). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1034 under which “Rotgarius filius Garsente” paid homage to “Petrone episcopo filio Adalais”[200]. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "dona Beatriz de Bezes" as the wife of "Mossen Bernard"[201], but this source is too late to give much credibility to its account of the early comtes de Foix. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Comte Bernard Roger & his wife had six children: 1. BERNARD de Foix (-before 24 Jun 1077). -Comte de Bigorre 2. ROGER [I] de Foix (-[1064]). 3. PIERRE BERNARD de Foix (-1071). 4. HERACLIUS de Foix 5. GERBERGE de Foix ([1015]-1 Dec 1049, bur Monastery of San Juan de la Peña). 6. [ETIENNETTE (-after 1066).
