INDEX

Notes

Weis' "Ancestral Roots . . ." (108:23), states that she was the dau. of

Raymond Berenger I, d. 1035, compte de Barcelona, by (3) wife Guisle

d'Ampurias. (112:23) expresses doubt as to her parentage.

However, T.N. Bisson's, "The Mediaval Crown of Aragon", chart on page

198, shows that it was Count Berenguer Ramon I who died in 1035.

Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners" (85:30) also shows her as the dau. of

Raymond Berenger I.

Subject: Re: Eudes I Borell de BOURGONE"

. "Chaume, I think it was, concluded that she was the 'Sybille, mother of

the Duke of Burgundy' named in one imprecisely dated document. The

argument is that since she is called mother of the Duke, she wasn't

widow of the Duke, and thus must have been married to the member of

the dynasty that never succeeded. Richard pointed out that the sitting

Duke is the frame of reference, and refering to the mother of the Duke in

no way implies that she wasn't wife of the previous Duke (any more than

Queen Mother implies her former husband wasn't King). It is clear that

this reference was to Sybille of Burgundy, wife of Eudes Borrel, and not

his otherwise unknown mother. That being the case, there is not a single

document which refers to this woman, so there is no direct data

allowing her name or origin to be determined.

. How about her ancestry then. The only direct clues we have are that

two sons bore the byname Borrel. This suggests a relationship to the

Counts of Barcelona, which was the only family at the time (of

reasonable social status) using the name. By generation, she would have

been granddaughter of Ramon Borrel, and was probably (again, based on

social status) daughter of his son, Count Berenger Ramon. That's how the

argument runs, at least. She was also somehow related to the Ramon,

Count of Galicia, who was son of William, Count of Burgundy and wife

Etienette. His name Ramon again suggests the possibility of a Barcelona

connection, particularly in light of his kinship with Henry of Burgundy's

wife.

. So. We don't know her name, and her origin is a guess, but perhaps a

reasonable one."
