Who was Bernard I, Count of Armagnac?
Bernard I, called the Suspicious, was the first Count of Armagnac.
He was the second son of William Garcés of Fézensac. When William died in 960, he divided his county up, giving Fézensac to his eldest son Odo, Armagnac to Bernard, and Gause to the youngest son Fredelon.
For his many sins, Bernard planned a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but never accomplished the feat. Instead, he founded the basilica of Saint-Orens at Auch. His son Gerald succeeded him.
