Bernhard II (Toulouse)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard II († August / September 874 ) was Count of Toulouse , Rouergue , Limoges , Nîmes , Carcassonne , Rasès and Albi . He was a son of Count Raimund I of Toulouse and Bertha.

In 863 his father, who was loyal to Charles the Bald , was deposed by Humfried , Count of Barcelona . In 865 Humfried fled and Raimund I died, whereupon Bernhard got the counties Toulouse, Limoges, Rouergue, perhaps including Pallars and Ribagorza , from Karl . 872, after the deposition of Oliba II of Carcassonne , he received the counties of Albi, Nîmes, Carcassonne and Razès.

In 874 he was murdered by a vassal Bernard Plantevelues , who then took over Toulouse and Limoges, while Oliba II returned to his old position. In Pallars and Ribagorza one of Raimund I managed to make himself de facto independent.
