  === Life Sketch ===
  Raymond of Burgundy (c. 1070 – 24 May 1107) was the ruler of Galicia from about 1090 until his death. He was the fourth son of Count William I of Burgundy and Stephanie. He married Urraca, future queen of León, and was the father of the future Alfonso VII.
  
  When Raymond and his cousin, Henry of Burgundy, first arrived in Iberia is uncertain, but it probably was with the army of Duke Odo I of Burgundy in 1086. In April 1087, the army abandoned the siege of Tudela. While most of the army returned home, Odo and his retinue went west. By 21 July 1087 they were probably at Burgos, at the court of King Alfonso VI of León and Castile, and by 5 August he was in the capital city of León. There Odo most likely arranged Raymond's marriage to Alfonso's heiress, Urraca. All surviving charters which seem to place Raymond in Spain before 1087 are either mis-dated or interpolated.[1]
  
  By his marriage Raymond received as dowry the government of the Kingdom of Galicia (which included the County of Portugal and the County of Coimbra),[2] although shortly after, in 1095, Alfonso VI gave the County of Portugal and the County of Coimbra to Henry of Burgundy, father of the first Portuguese King Afonso Henriques of Portugal, basing it in Bracara Augusta (nowadays Braga). During his government he was titled Count, Dominus, Prince, Emperor and Consul of Galicia or of the Galicians, exercising near absolute power in his domains ("in urbe Gallecia regnante Comite Raymundus"): "serenissimus totius Gallecie comes", "totius Gallecie Senior et Dominus", "totius Gallecie Consul", "totius Gallecie Princeps", "totius Gallecie Imperator".[3]
  
  He was father of Alfonso VII of León and Castile (1104/1105–1157), already crowned king of Galicia in 1111, while his brother later became Pope Callixtus II.

  === Pacto con su primo el conde Enrique de Borgoña ===
  Entre el primer trimestre de 1096 y finales de 1097, el conde Raimundo, al ver reducida su influencia en la corte llegó a un acuerdo con su primo Enrique de Borgoña, que aún no había sido nombrado gobernador de Portugal, para repartirse el poder, el tesoro real y para apoyarse mutuamente.
  
  Mediante este pacto, que contaba con el visto bueno del pariente de ambos, el abad Hugo de Cluny, Raimundo prometía bajo juramento a su primo Enrique entregarle el reino de Toledo y un tercio del tesoro regio cuando muriera Alfonso VI.
  
  Sino no pudiese entregarle el reino toledano, le entregaría el de Galicia. Enrique, a su vez, se comprometía a ayudar a Raimundo a obtener todos los dominios del rey Alfonso y los 2 tercios del tesoro.
  
  El rey Alfonso VI parece que tuvo conocimiento de este acuerdo y para contrarrestar la iniciativa de sus dos yernos, nombró a Enrique gobernador de la región que se extendía desde el Miño hasta el Tajo que hasta la fecha gobernaba el conde Raimundo, y este último vio reducido su poder al gobierno solamente de Galicia.
  
  De este modo los dos primos en vez de aliados se convirtieron en rivales con intereses contrapuestos; su pacto sucesorio era muy importante, y a partir de entonces cada uno de ellos trataría de ganarse el favor de Alonso.
