Raymond's wife edit

The name of Raymond's wife is not mentioned in the article. Is this an oversight or is her identity unknown?.--jeanne (talk) 08:16, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

No mention of it here. I suspect, as the creator of this article, that it is unknown. Certainly if I had read it, I would have intended to include it, but it is possibly an oversight. I will look into it further. Srnec (talk) 18:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Nîmes edit

This website lists him as the vicomte de Nimes as well. Did he take this over too? If anyone can let me know I'm trying to find out a little bit of the history of Nimes in the 1230's CE and there isn't much to go by! my email is crushmyachybreakyheart@gmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.254.79.162 (talk) 05:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

He wasn't. Bernard Ato VI was the last Trencavel visount of Nîmes. On 2 May 1214 he gave his fiefs to Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester, of the Albigensian Crusade. He disappears thereafter. Simon died in 1218 and his French lands passed to his son Amaury VI de Montfort, who was forced to cede them to the Louis VIII of France in 1224. It appears that Nîmes became part of the royal demesne after that date. Srnec (talk) 06:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
