Mayor

  General Notes:

MAYOR, daughter of --- (-1044 or before). "Poncius" donated property to "sponse mee Maiore" at the time of their marriage by charter dated 14 Sep 1037, signed by "Willelmo patri suo, Bertramno…". Pérez de Urbel suggests that the name "Majorie" (by which she is known in French sources) is similar to "Mayor" which may indicate a connection with Castile or Navarre. He proposes that she was Mayor Sánchez de Navarra, daughter of Sancho III King of Navarre & his wife Munidomna Mayor de Castilla. If this is correct, Mayor would have been a child at the time of her marriage, assuming that this did indeed take place in [1022]. Although this origin is not impossible, it does seem unlikely that such a prominent origin of the wife of Comte Pons should not have been recorded in contemporary sources.

Mayor married Pons Guillaume de Toulouse Comte de Toulouse, son of Guillaume [III] de Toulouse Comte de Toulouse and Emma de Provence, about 1045. (Pons Guillaume de Toulouse Comte de Toulouse was born between 995 and 997, died in 1060 and was buried in Basilique Saint-Sernin de Toulouse, Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées, 31000, FR.)
