Raymond Pons, Count of Toulouse

Who is Raymond Pons, Count of Toulouse?

Raymond Pons, who may be numbered Raymond III or Pons I, was the Count of Toulouse from 924.

In 932, Raymond Pons with his uncle, Count Ermengol of Rouergue, and the Duke of Gascony, Sancho IV, travelled north to do homage to King Rudolph.

In 936, Raymond Pons founded the monastery of Chanteuges. Between 940 and 941, he controlled Auvergne. In 944, when Hugh the Great and King Louis IV entered Aquitaine, the former met Raymond at Nevers and confirmed his titles while the Toulousain returned with the king to the royal court.

Raymond Pons married a daughter of García II of Gascony, who was either the same person as his known wife Gersenda or a distinct earlier wife. He was succeeded by his son Raymond.
