unusual facts about Garsenda, Countess of Forcalquier



Garsenda, Countess of Forcalquier

By 1217 or 1220 Garsenda had finally ceded Forcalquier to her son and handed the reins of government over, retiring to the monastery of La Celle in 1222 or 1225.

In 1220 Guillaume de Sabran, a nephew of William IV, who claimed Forcalquier and had been in revolt in the region of Sisteron, was neutralised in part through the mediation of the Archbishop of Aix, Bermond le Cornu.
