Almodis de la Marche 1 2 3
My information and source can be found at Foundation for Medieval Genealogy Almodis married Hugh V "Le Debonnaire" of Lusignan, son of Hugh de la Marche, IV and Amelie de Thouars, about 1038.1 2 (Hugh V "Le Debonnaire" of Lusignan was born in 1013 2 and died on 8 Oct 1060 2.)
• Divorced: due to consanguinity, Bef 1040. Almodis next married Pons , Comte de Toulouse, Margrave of Provence, son of William III "Taillefer" , Comte de Toulouse, Albi & Quercy and Emma de Provence, about 1040. (Pons , Comte de Toulouse, Margrave of Provence was born in 990 in Toulouse, Aquitaine 1 2 4 and died in 1061 1 2 4.) Almodis next married Ramón Berenguer I "The Old" , Conde de Barcelona, son of Berenguer Ramón I "The Crooked" , Conde de Barcelona and Sancha Sánchez, in Apr 1053.1 2 (Ramón Berenguer I "The Old" , Conde de Barcelona was born in 1024 2 and died on 26 May 1076 in Barcelona, Spain 2.)
She was still Pons' wife in April 1053 , but shortly thereafter Almodis was abducted by Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona . He kidnapped her from Narbonne with the aid of a fleet sent north by his ally, the Muslim emir of Tortosa. They married immediately (despite the fact both of her previous husbands were still alive) and they appear with their twin sons in a charter the next year. Pope Victor II excommunicated Almodis and Ramon for this illegal marriage until 1056. |
