- William IX, was the wealthy and powerful duke of Aquitaine. He was also a musician and poet, acknowledged as history's first troubadour. William IX didn't just sing about love. He married for the first time while he was still in his teens, but apparently he and his wife Ermengarde didn't get along, and the marriage was annulled. His second wife was Philippa (or Maud) of Toulouse, the widowed queen of Aragon. They had two sons, William and Raymond, and five daughters. When the Troubadour tired of Philippa, she moved to the same nunnery where Ermengard lived. After Philippa's death, Ermengarde tried to force William to take her back, but the duke had other ideas. He had abducted a married woman called Dangereuse ("dangerous" in French), and she was now his mistress. or 1127 William IX of Aquitaine, Guillaume d'Aquitaine nicknamed the Troubador. One of the leaders of the First Crusade and one of the first vernacular poets and troubadors. William is also known for his affair with Dangerosa, the wife of his vassal Aimery I de Rochefoucauld, Viscount of Chtellerault. It was Dangerosa's daughter by Aimery, Aenor, who would eventually marry William's son, William X of Aquitaine, and give birth to Eleanor of Aquitaine. (Wikipedia)son of Guillaume VI dit Guy
