Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_VIII_of_Montpellier
William VIII of Montpellier (in Occitan: Guilhem VIII; died 1202) was Lord of 
Montpellier, the son of William VII.

He married Eudoxie or Eudokia Komnene, grand-niece of the Byzantine emperor 
Manuel I Komnenos.[1]

They had one daughter:
Marie of Montpellier

Lacking a male heir William separated from Eudoxie, sending her to a monastery in 
Ariane.[2]
 He married Agnes of Castille and they had:
William IX of Montpellier[3]
Aymard, d.1199[4]
Bergunyo[3]
Bernat William[3]
Tortoseta[3]

The Pope ruled William's marriage to Agnes as illegitimate and Marie was given the 
throne.[5]

William VIII was a patron of troubadours. Arnaut de Mareuil came to his court after 
fleeing from the entourage of Azalais of Toulouse, and at least one of Arnaut's poems 
is addressed to him.
