Marriage and offspring

Count Wilhelm Raimund was married to a woman whose name was unknown, with whom he had three sons:

Since Wilhelm Raimund's sons were not of age when he died, his uncle, the Bishop of Girona , Peter Roger took over the guardianship of them. After Peter and Bernard died young, the bishop took over their property and officiated as count himself. When Peter Roger died in 1050, he did not bequeath these areas to the uncle of the young counts, Peter Raimund, but to his nephew, Count Roger I von Foix . From then on he officiated as Roger II in Carcassonne.

The property of Count Raimund II. Wilhelm, however, went to Peter Raimund after his death.
