'''Centule V''' (or ''Centulle''; died 1090), called '''the Young''', was the [[Viscount of Béarn]] from 1058 to his death. Centule increased the autonomy of the viscounts of Béarn and distanced them from the [[dukes of Aquitaine]], to whom they owed theoretical vassalage. Centule was also [[Count of Bigorre]] ''jure uxoris'' as '''Centule I'''. |

[[Image:Arbol genealogico vizcondes Bearn (CentuloV-Maria).png|thumb|left|Family tree of Centule's descendants.]] |
|||
==Early life== |
|||
Centule was the eldest son of [[Gaston III of Béarn|Gaston III]] and Adalais de Lomagne and successor of his grandfather [[Centule IV of Béarn|Centule IV]]. Centule was almost a sovereign prince. He minted his own money in his capital of [[Morlaas]]. He received the viscounty of [[Acqs]] and the countries of Orthe and [[Salies]] from the duke of Aquitaine, who freed him from nominal ties of vassalage. He was the only person with the right to call on the knights of Béarn, who owed fealty to none but him. He granted the deserted city of [[Oloron]] a charter repopulating it. Centuries later, this [[fuero]], called the ''For de Oloron'', would be incorporated into the other [[Fors de Bearn]]. |
|||
Caulfield was born in Wales to Irish parents and brought up in England. Before getting into comedy she worked as a waitress. |
|||
==Comedy career== |
|||
Centule was a great participant in the [[Gregorian reform]] and he maintained excellent relations with the [[Holy See]]. He made many donations to the church and initiated the construction of the church of [[Santa Fe de Morlaas]], the first [[Romanesque architecture|romanesque]] edifice in Béarn. [[Pope Gregory VII]] referred to him as an ''amator justitiae'', lover of justice; ''defensor pauperum'', defender of the poor; and ''propagator pacis'', propagator of the peace. Towards 1060, Centule married a relative of his, probably a cousin, possibly a daughter of [[Bernard II of Gascony]], named Gisela (Gisla), with whom he had two children, his heir [[Gaston IV of Béarn|Gaston IV]] and a daughter named Osquinette. The pope, however, exhorted him to break the marriage on grounds of consanguinity, which he obediently did (1074), founding, in penitence, a priory at Morlaas dependent on the [[Abbey of Cluny]]. |

Centule married for a second time in 1077 to [[Beatrice, Countess of Bigorre]]. With her he had other children: [[Bernard III of Bigorre|Bernard]] and [[Centule II of Bigorre|Centule]], both future counts of Bigorre. Centule married his eldest son to [[Talesa]], a natural daughter of [[Sancho V of Navarre]], and Gaston received the neighbouring viscounty of [[Montaner]] as a dowry, thus uniting it to the dominion of Béarn. It can be seen that, through strategic marriages, Centule expanded his control to include his western neighbours Bigorre and Montaner and solidifed an alliance with his royal neighbour to the south, the [[Crown of Aragon]]. However, he had to war with his neighbours to the east. In 1082, he launched an attack on [[Dax, Landes|Dax]], but was severely defeated. |
|||
Caulfield's own TV appearances include ''[[Never Mind The Buzzcocks]]'', ''[[Mock the Week]]'', ''The Stand-up Show'', ''[[The Comedy Store]]'', ''The World Stands Up'', ''Take the Mike'', and ''Stitch-Up''. |
|||
She is also a TV warm-up artist, and is the regular warm-up for ''[[V Graham Norton]]''. Other TV shows she works on include:''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' (with one appearance as a contestant), ''[[Alistair McGowan's Big Impression]]'', ''[[Bremner, Bird and Fortune]]'', ''[[Gimme Gimme Gimme (TV series)|Gimme Gimme Gimme]]'', ''[[Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps]]'', and ''[[Perfect World]]''. |
|||
In 1079, Centule participated in the attempt to take [[Zaragoza]] that was repelled by [[El Cid Campeador]], then in the service of the [[Moors]]. In 1090, he travelled anew into Aragon at the head of Bearnese troops to assist in an assault on [[Huesca]] under the guidance of Sancho, but he was assassinated in the valley of [[Tena]]. Gaston succeeded him and continued in his policies of aggrandisement and friendly church-state relations. |
|||
Acting credits include ''[[Family Affairs]]'', ''[[Days Like These]]'', ''[[Beast (Sitcom)|Beast]]'', and ''[[Get Real]]''. |
