Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_II_of_Rouergue
Raymond II (also Ramon or Raimundo and sometimes numbered Raymond I) (was born 
circa 904 to Ermengol of Rouergue (c870-937) and Adelaide (c875-?) and died 961 or 
965) was the count of Rouergue and Quercy from 937 to his death. Under Raymond, 
Rouergue achieved a suzerainty over neighbouring counties and he successfully titled 
himself Margrave (marchio) of Septimania.

Raymond's lordship extended over Albi and Nīmes and, at least around 960, as far 
north as the Limousin. Raymond was the head of his family, which also ruled 
Toulouse. Even in his time, his family appeared to be declining. He willed a Gascon 
fief to Duke Sancho V and allowed it to become allodial after his death. Nonetheless, 
his power was such that he could command lands as far north as Auvergne and was 
the most powerful lord of Aquitaine, even holding a "vicar's court" in the Limousin.

His will of 961 is preserved. In it, not only does he reference the aforementioned lands 
in Auvergne and Gascony, but he mentions seventeen castles and a rocheta. Some 
castles were given to his wife and heirs and some to the churches of Albi and Cahors 
and to various abbeys.

Raymond married Bertha, daughter of Boso of Tuscany. He was succeeded by his son 
Raymond III.
