William II (or III) (c.?981 – 1018), called the Pious, was the Count of Provence.
Life[edit]
William was the son of William I (or II) of Provence and Arsende de Comminges,[1]
daughter of Arnaldo, Count of Comminges and Arsende, Countess of Carcassonne.[2]
William succeeded his father; William I, on the latter's retirement to a monastery just
before his death in late 994.[1] He was a minor under his step-mother's regency until
he came of age in 999. His regent was Adelaide-Blanche of Anjou, his father's second
wife.[a] William did not succeed to the margravial title, which went to his uncle
Rotbold I.[1] Around 1002, he married Gerberga, daughter of Otto-William, Count of
Burgundy and Ermentrude, Countess of Mâcon and Besançon.[3] William died in 1018,
about 30 May.[1]
Family[edit]
Together William and Gerberga had:
William IV of Provence († c.?1019–30), who succeeded his father.[1]
Geoffrey I of Provence († c.?Feb. 1061–62), Count of Arles, Margrave of Provence.[1]
Fulk Bertrand of Provence († c.?27 Apr. 1051), Count of Provence.[1]
