From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Provence:
… http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/PROVENCE.htm#_Toc220666437
-----------------------
BOSON, son of ROTBALD [his] & his wife--(after Oct [965/67]). "Bosoni comitis, filii Rothboldi quondam" restored property to Saint-Victor by charter dated Mar 965

Comte [d'Arles]. "Boso comes et uxor sua Constantia… illorum filii…. Willelmus comes, Redbaldus comes, Pontius juvenis" signed the charter dated May [963] under which "Gencius et uxor mea Aiburga" donated property "in pago Aquense superiore ad castrum… Ansoyse" to Monmajour, for the souls of "seniore meo bosone et uxor sua quondam"

"Boso comes" donated property "villam… Agello… ultra fluvium Durentia" acquired by his father to "ecclesiam sancte Marie et sancti Stephani Avinionensis", dated Oct [965/67] at Avignon 24 November 1209
-----------------------
He married CONSTANTIA, daughter of--(after May [963]). "Boso comes et uxor sua Constantia… illorum filii… Willelmus comes, Redbaldus comes, Pontius juvenis" signed the charter dated May [963] under which "Gencius et uxor mea Aiburga" donated property "in pago Aquense superiore ad castrum… Ansoyse" to Monmajour

Her affiliation is unknown. Chaume proposed Constantia, daughter of Charles Constantin Comte de Vienne, for onomastic reasons only on the basis of the names "Constant" were in Western royal genealogy before Charles Constantin himself. This supposition is, however, incorrect as numerous charters of the monastery of Cluny dated between 891 and 946 include the name "Constantia", and many others during the same period the names "Constantius" and "Constantinus". Poly suggests that Constantia, wife of Count Boson II, is the sister rather than daughter of Charles Constantin, but this appears to be more difficult to sustain chronologically.
---------------------
Boson & his wife had two children:

1. Guillaume II (b 955, d. 993 after 29 August in Avignon, Comte de Provence, Marquis de Provence) m. Arsinde, m. Adelaide (Blanche) d'Anjou

2. Rotbald II (d. 1008/22 April 1015, Comte de Provence) m. Ermengarde, Emilde, Ermengarde…
---------------------
Boso II (* 928, † 965/67) was since 935 Count of Avignon and since 949 Count of Arles

Biography [edit] In 948, after the death of Hugo of Arles, Conrad III, king of Burgundy, re-ordered power in the south of the kingdom to secure his position and that of his successors. He divided Provence into three counties, limiting the authority and resources of the new counts

Boso and his brother William, of Burgundian origin, took over the counties of Arles and Avignon. The third count, Gripho of Apt, was soon removed, and the brothers became the true masters of the land

Around 953 Boso II married Constance of Provence, a daughter of the Buviniden Karl Konstantin, Count of Vienne, from which he got two sons:
Redwood II. (Roubaud), † probably 1008, and
William I (Guillaume le Libérateur), * c. 952, † 994, Count of Arles and Provence, then Margrave of Provence

Origin [edit] There are a number of hypotheses about the origin Bosos:
Boso II was the son of Rotbold (Roubaud) of Agel, a nobleman from the Mâconais, whom Louis the Blind had made in 903 the Count of Provence. His ancestors are unknown; however, it is believed that he was the son-in-law of William the Pious, Duke of Aquitaine and Ermengarde, a daughter of Boso of Vienne

Boson II was the grandson of Boso († 936), later Margrave of Tuscien, and son of Rotbold the Old or Rotbold of Spoleto († 936), son Boso of Tusciens from a previous relationship. This relationship (or marriage) before the marriage with Willa von Burgund could not be identified so far. This Rotbold married Ermengarde of Aquitaine and was murdered on the orders of his uncle Hugo I of Italy, along with his father

Boso II and Boso of Tuscien (Boso I.) are identical. PA Février writes in La Provence of the origines à l'an mil (Editions Ouest-France Université, 1989-ISBN 2737304563): 949, after the death of Hugo, appeared a new Earl of Arles, Boso, to whose identity the historians greatly reluctant to have. He was eventually identified as Bertha's first husband, Hugo's niece, whom he disfellowshipped to sever his fate from the Margrave's when luck left him. He then married Konstanze, who is otherwise unknown. With her he had two sons, Rotbald and Wilhelm Boso, who… undividedly exercised the count's authority, always together, as representatives of Konrad. As for Bertha, she married the Count of Rodez and settled in Aquitaine. This hypothesis means

Boson II of Arles (b. c910, d. 968), so called Boson VII of Provence, which Comte d'Arles, Avignon, and Provence (949-968)

His origin is controversial, even if his life is relatively well-known

Origin:

Hypothesis 1: Boson II, son of Redbold (Roubaud) or Rodboald Agel (a noble of Macon), which was made Comte de Provence in 903 by Louis the Blind

The ancestry of this Rotbold remains unknown. Historians believe, however, that he could be the father of a girl named Ermengarde (daughter of Boson V of Provence) and William of Aquitaine. This assumption is based on the fact that the Boson of Arles (885-936) is for some historians unacceptable because Boson girls [1]

For the historian Jean-Pierre Poly, who supports this hypothesis, the count's family, if set up by the Burgundians (ie Hugh d'Arles), would probably have been originated in Septimania. His representative had known Boson earlier (until 947-948?) By Bertha, niece of Hugh, after the fortune of the second failed, then marrying Constance, who had unknown [2] had enough status to provide a name to his granddaughter, Constance of Arles, wife of a king of France (OUR ANCESTOR) [3]

The name Guilhem carried by his brother and given to his probably evokes the Guilhemides of Auvergne. And Conrad, the new King of Provence, would have given Boson a county of second ranking, less dangerous and ambitious, and more able to get along with notables from Provence [4]

Hypothesis 2: Boson II, the grandson of Boson I of Arles (886-936) by Rotbold the Elder (c.907-936), son of a stepchild thereof

On the first marriage (unidentified) before his marriage to Willa of Burgundy in 912, Boson of Alres had a child, Roubaud I or Rotbold l'Ancien, who was so known as Rotbold de Spolete (c 907-936) who married Ermengarde d'Aquitaine and was assassinated on orders from his uncle, King Hugh of Arles, 936, probably along with his father during a coup attempt against him

Hypothesis 3: Bosson II and Boson I are one person

Some authors, like PA Fevrier [5], identify Boson I and Boson II as the same person, father of William of Provence, and therefore Boson died in 968. Contrary to this assertion, this Boson lived 73 years and had children at an older age, almost 60 years

Biography:

931 [6] to Berthe d'Arles, the daughter of Bosons of Arles, who was brother of Hugues. In these circumstances, he could have been the Comte d'Arles at the death of his stepfather in Italy, either 931 or 936. These same historians agree that this marriage is broken at the time of Hugues' setbacks, say in the years 945-948th

In 948, at the death of Hugh of Arles, Conrad stood by to replace him and to take over his powers as his successors. His province is partitioned into three counties of Provence, limiting the authority and resources of the new counts. Boson and his brother William, who is of uncertain origin, Burgundy or otherwise [7], supported the counties of Arles and Avignon. Comte Griffon d'Apt was the real master of the county

Until 953 (or 942?) [8], Boson II married Constance, sometimes called Constance de Provence or Constance de Vienne, who was the daughter or sister of Charles Constantine, Comte de Vienne. Boson II and Constance had two sons:

1. Rotbold I (Roubaud) (d.1008), Comte d'Arles and Provence

2. William I the Liberator (bc953, d. 993), Comte d 'Arles and Province, and then in 975 Marquis of Provence

He died in 968

Notes:

Willa of Burgundy in 912

2. Other authors, however, identify Constance of Provence as also Constance of Vienne

3. Robert Ii of France

4. Jean-Pierre Poly-Province and the Feudal Era 879-1166-page 33

5. PA Fevriere (editor)-Provence origins to the year 1000-Ouest-France University 1989. We read: "In 949, after the death of Hugh, Boson became the new Comte d'Arles, a personality that historians have hesitated to […]" He then married Constance, an otherwise unknown figure Bertha, meanwhile, remarried to the Count of Rodez and ended days in Aquitaine

6. We know that when his father, Boson of Arles, left Italy, he was already married

7. According to Jean-Pierre Poly, quoted in Provence in the Middle Ages on page 12, the first of the dynasty, the father of a man named Guillaume Boson and Roubaud, would not be of Burgundian origin, but Provencal Seveners

8. Probably after 945 and before 948. That is to say when the fortunes of Hugh of Arles failed

They were carried out concurrently, but it was unknown. They were joint counts of the whole of Provence or if the region was divided.

Hugh Capet (King of France) [in Ancient People & Artifacts]

Biography

Birth24 August 940Hugh Capet, II, was born on 24 August 940 in Paris, Île-de-France, France (Medieval), EuropeG. Location also shown as "Isle of Aube, Champagne-Ardenne, France" / NFIA1,2
MarriageJuly 969He and Adélaïde, of Poitiers, were married in July 969 in Paris, Île-de-France, France (Medieval), EuropeG.3
Death24 October 996He died on 24 October 996 at age 56 in Chartres, Eure-et-Loir Centre, France, EuropeG. The cause of his death (at the age of 56) on Monday, October 24th, 996AD is not known-surviving in 996 was difficult

Died as King of France
Burialafter 24 October 996He was buried after 24 October 996 at Buried in an unknown cemeteryG in Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France (Medieval), EuropeG.
NoteHugh Capet, born about 939, was the son of Hugh the Great and his wife Hedwige of Saxony. Hugh was descended from Charlemagne's sons Louis the Pious and Pepin of Italy through his mother and paternal grandmother, respectively, and was also a nephew of Otto the Great

In 969 Hugh married Adé laï de of Aquitaine, daughter of William III of Aquitaine and his wife Adele of Normandy, who was daughter of Rollo of Normandy and sister of William Longsword. This marriage was certainly politically motivated, aligning two of the most powerful families in Francia and may have been intended to cement peace between the families

Together Hugh and Adelaide became the progenitors of the Capetian dynasty of France, and had at least three children:

1. Hedwig, Countess of Mons (Hadevide, Avoise) (c. 969–after 1013), wife of Reginar IV, Count of Mons
2. Robert II (972–1031), the future king of France
3. Gisè le, Countess of Ponthieu (c. 970–1002), wife of Hugh I, Count of Ponthieu

A number of other daughters are less reliably attested

King Louis V died in 987 without heirs. The archbishop of Reims and the greatest lords of France elected Hugh Capet the new King of the Franks, choosing him over his cousin Charles, Duke of Lorraine. Hugh was crowned rex Francorum at Noyon in Picardy on 3 July 987, by the prelate of Reims, becoming the first of the Royal House of Capetian

Charles of Lorraine, the Carolingian heir, naturally contested the succession, followed by a time of siege and war which ended with Charles' imprisonment and death in 993

Almost immediately after his own coronation as king, Hugh pushed to have his son Robert made co-ruler and on December 30, 987 Robert was crowned. This forestalled any problems of succession later on

Hugh Capet died in Paris on October 14, 996, and was interred in the Saint Denis Basilica. His son Robert, already co-ruler, continued on as King

The coronation of Hugh Capet is considered the beginning of modern France. As Count of Paris, he made the city his power center and from there consolidated the rest of the country under his authority

The founder of the Capetian dynasty, Hugh's descendants ruled France from 987 to 1328; thereafter, the Kingdom was ruled by cadet branches of the dynasty. All French kings through Louis Philippe, and all royals since then, have belonged to the dynasty. Furthermore, cadet branches of the House continue to reign in Spain and Luxembourg

All monarchs of the Kingdom of France from Hugh Capet to Philip II of France were titled 'King of the Franks'. Philip II was the first to use the title 'King of France'.

Biography

Birth13 September 947William Taillefer, I (of Provence), was born on 13 September 947 at Jura, Franche-ComtéG, in Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées, France (Medieval), EuropeG. A website source (see profile) suggests his DOB as "c 950" hence the sourced date is reasonable…sources also show DOB as "abt 956" and 13-Sep-955, which could be correct as his parents are a tad young

Locations (from other sources) include Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,2
Marriage984He and Adelaide Adela d'Anjou were married in 984 at ToulouseG, in Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées, France (Medieval), EuropeG. Also shown as Bef. 960 and in "de Provence, France"1,3
Deathafter 29 August 993He died after 29 August 993 at AvignonG, in Franche-Comté, France (Medieval), EuropeG. The cause of his death (at the age of 46) on Thursday, August 29th, 993AD is not known-surviving in 993 was difficult & it occurred in Medieval France (source merge has places of Provence, Nord-est, Haiti and Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur-other from share date as after 2 Sep 137; also in 118); source merge has places of Provence, Nord-est, Haiti and Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur-other from share date as after 2 Sep 137; also in 118
Burialafter August 993He was buried after August 993 at Buried in the Church of Saint-CroixG in Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France (Medieval), EuropeG. Sarrians is a commune of the Vaucluse department, which is in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of Southeastern France
NameWilliam Taillefer, I (of Provence), was also known as Guillaume I, I (of Provence.)
NameHe was also known as William, the Liberator of Arles.
NoteWilliam I "the Liberator" was Count of Provence from 968 until his abdication in 975 or 979, where he took the title of marchio or margrave; history shares that he was the founder of the County of Provence

He and his elder brother Rotbold I were sons of Boso II of Arles and his wife Constance, who, based on her name, has been speculated to be daughter of Charles Constantine of Vienne. Both brothers carried the title Count concurrently ("Comes" in French), but it is unknown if they were joint-counts of the whole of Provence or if the region was divided. His brother never bore any other title than count so long as William lived, so the latter seems to have attained a certain supremacy

In 980, William was installed as Count of Arles. His sobriquet comes from his victories against the Saracens by which he liberated Provence from their threat, which had been constant since the establishment of a base at Fraxinet. At the Battle of Tourtour in 973, with the assistance of the counts of the High Alps and the viscounts of Marseilles and Fos, he definitively routed the Saracens, chasing them forever from Provence

He then reorganized the region east of the Rhône, which he conquered from the Saracens and which had been given him as a gift from King Conrad of Burgundy. Also by royal consent, he and his descendants controlled the "fisc" (taxes) in Provence. With Isarn, Bishop of Grenoble, he repopulated Dauphiné and settled an Italian count named Ugo Blavia near Fréjus in 970 in order to bring that land back to cultivation. For all this, he figures prominently in Ralph Glaber's chronicle with the title of dux and he appears in a charter of 992 as pater patriae


He donated land to Cluny and retired to become a monk, dying at Avignon, where he was buried in the church of Saint-Croix at Sarrians

He was succeeded as margrave by his brother

His great principality began to diminish soon after his death as the castles of his vassals, which he had kept carefully under ducal control, soon became allods of their possessors

He may also have been the brother of Eremburge De Pont Audemer (born De Bricquebec Bertrand) who married Torf De Pont Audemer. Eremburge and Torf are the 18th great grandparents of Thomas Newberry the immigrant ancestor of the American family
