Count of Angoulême From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wulgrin III of Angoulême is also known as Wulgrin Taillefer II. He inherited the title of Count of Angoulême and its territories from his father, William VI of Angoulême, in 1179.[1]
His untimely death was the first break in the house of Taillefer, which had ruled Angoulême since the days of the Carolingians. As he had only one daughter, Mathilde of Angoulême, the territory went to his younger brother, William VII of Angoulême. Wulgrin's daughter, Mathilde, would marry Hugh IX of Lusignan, who would eventually inherit the kingdom, over the claims of John of England, through Isabella of Angoulême, the daughter of Aymer of Angoulême, the third and youngest brother.
