GUILLAUME [VI] de Montpellier, son of GUILLAUME [V] Seigneur de Montpellier & his wife Ermesende --- (-after 1161). Under his testament dated 1121, "Guillelmi Montispessulani, filii Ermeniardis" bequeathed the town of Montpellier to "Guillelmo filio meo majori"[795]. Seigneur de Montpellier. He was forced out of Montpellier by a revolt organised by his cousins the vicaires de Montpellier in 1141, remaining in exile at Latas for two years[796]. Under his testament dated 11 Dec 1146, "Guillelmus de Montispessulano, filius Ermesende" mentions his mother as still alive ("pretera post obitum domine mee matris, infirmis"), bequeathes the town of Montpellier and the castra of Montferrier [-sur-Lez] {Hérault} and the city of Tortosa {Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain} to "Guillelmo filio meo majori", Castrum novum {probably Castelnau-le-Lez, Hérault, near Montpellier} and Salzetum to "Guillelmo filio meo minori", states that "Raimundus Guillelmi filius meus" has been entrusted as an oblate at Cluny, entrusts "Bernardum Guillelmum filium meum" to his oldest son until he is 18 years old, bequeathes the castra of Le Pouget and Paulhan {both Hérault} to "filio meo Guidoni", and names his daughters Guillemette, Adelais and Ermessende, with “Poncio de Mataplana consobrino mei” taking an eventual role in the guardianship of his children with the consent of “matris mee”[797]. In 1147, Guillaume [VI] became a monk at the abbey of Grandselve {Bouillac, Tarn-et-Garonne}[798]. His date of death is set by the charter dated 1161 which records the settlement agreed between “Guillelmum Montispessulani et Guidonem fratrem suum”, naming “Guillelmo de Tortosa fratri suo...Guillelmus Montispessuli monachus pater eorum"[799]. m (contract Aug 1129) SIBILLA del Vasto, daughter of BONIFACIO Marchese del Vasto [Monferrrato] & his second wife Agnès de Vermandois (-before 11 Dec 1146). "Bonifacius marchio" provided dowries for "filiabus…Sibilie et Adalaxia et alie filie si ex hac uxore nata fuit" by charter dated 1125[800]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to (but does not name) the first of the daughters of "Hugonem Magnum [et] Adelaide comitissa Veromandensium" as wife of "Bonefacius marchio", parents of "Bonefacium archidiaconum Noviomensem et filios et filias, quarum una nupsit Guilelmo de Monte-pessulano"[801]. The contract of marriage between "Guillelmus de Montispessulano" and "sponsam meam…Sibiliam" is dated Aug 1129 and lists her dowry as "castrum…Monsferrarius et Castrum Novum et villam de Sustancione et villam de Salzeto et villam Sancti Martini de Crecio" (Montferrier, Castelnau-le-Lez, Substantion, Salzetum, Le Crès {Hérault})[802]. According to documentation relating to the divorce of Marie de Montpellier and Pedro II King of Aragon[803], Sibilla, wife of Guillaume [VI], was the daughter of Bonifazio Marchese del Vasto (and, presumably, his second wife Agnès de Vermandois, although this is not specified in the text). In this text, several of Marie's relatives bore witness to the couple's shared ancestry, in particular "dominam Clemenciam amitam regine" (Clémence de Montpellier, sister of Guillaume [VIII] Seigneur de Montpellier) declared that "Bonifatius marchio habuit tres infantes…Bonefacium et Guillelmum marchionem et Sibiliam. De Bonifatio exivit domina Marchisia uxor domini Bernardo de Andusia, de Guillelmo marchione exivit comitissa de Bigorra, et de comitissa de Bigorra exivit uxor Bernardoni comitis Convenarum. De Sibilia exivit Guillelmus de Montepessulano, et de Guillelmo Montispessulani exivit Guillelmus pater Marie regine Aragonum. Hec ita vera esse audivit ab antecessoribus suis et a domino B. de Andusia et a domino episcopo Cyffricensi fratre eius, et a domina Marchisa eius uxore, et a domino R. episcopo Litteuensi et a multis aliis". However, it should not be assumed that this documentation is completely accurate. The ancestry attributed to Bernard Comte de Comminges in the extract quoted above appears to be incorrect. In addition, in another part of the text several witnesses incorrectly state that the mother of Mathilde de Bourgogne was a daughter of Renaud Comte de Bourgogne. Guillaume [VI] & his wife had eight children: 1. GUILLEMETTE de Montpellier (-after 29 Sep 1172). 2. GUILLAUME [VII] de Montpellier (-[29 Sep 1172/May 1173], bur Abbaye de Granselve). 3. GUILLAUME de Montpellier "de Tortosa" (-after 1157). 4. RAYMOND GUILLAUME de Montpellier (-[1201]). 5. BERNARD GUILLAUME de Montpellier (-before [1172]). 6. GUY "Guerregiat" de Montpellier (-Valmagne after Feb 1177). 7. ADELAIS de Montpellier (-1174 or after). 8. ERMESENDE de Montpellier .
