House Montpellier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The House of Montpellier is the family of the Lords of Montpellier from 985 to 1213. Guillem I received the city of Montpellier , which had only been founded the century before, and parts of the previous lordship of Montpellier either from Bernard II, Count of Melgueil , or from the Bishop of Montpellier . This (new) dominion of Montpellier remained in the possession of the descendants of Guilhem I until the family with Guilhem VIII and his daughter Maria von Montpellier died out .

The family benefited from the development of the city and the port in close diplomatic relations with the Republic of Genoa . This close relationship helped Guilhem VI. 1141 during the suppression of a popular uprising. In 1163 the Lords of Montpellier accepted the suzerainty of the Count of Toulouse .

Guilhem VIII married Eudokia Komnene in his first marriage, and Agnes de Castilia in his second marriage, although the first marriage continued. As a result, the children from the second marriage were viewed by the Pope as illegitimate and therefore not entitled to inheritance, which is why, after Guilhem's death in 1202, Montpellier ruled over Guilhem's daughter from his first marriage, Maria, and her third husband, Peter II , King of Aragón , X 1213 , went to the House of Barcelona .
