Bernat's father, Rogièr I de Comminges was a founder of the Comminges-Carcassonne dynasty, and his mother was associated with the Comté de Bigorre. [1] [2] In about 1010, Bernard Roger married Garsinda, Comtesse Bigorre. [1] [2] [3] The counties of Carcassone, Foix and Bigorre The medieval city of Carcassonne and its surrounding county Catalan: Comtat de Carcassona were part of the ancient region of Occitania, later a part of France that was called "Languedoc" by the French since the population spoke Occitan. The County of Foix, to the west of Carcassonne, was originally a dependency of Carcassonne, which was made an independent county in connection with the family of Bernat Rogièr (Bernard Roger). The county of Bigorre (Gascon: Bigòrra) was an historically independent county the Duchy of Gasconia (Duché de Gascogne), located in the upper watershed of the Adour, in the Pyrenees, in southwest France. Today Bigorre makes up the central and western part of the département of Hautes-Pyrénées, with two small exclaves in the neighboring Pyrénées Atlantiques. Family and Successions Bernat Rogièr (Bernard Roger, Seigneur de Foix et Comte de Carcassonne) and his wife Garsinda (Garsinde, Comtesse de Bigorre) are considered to have had six children together: [1] [2] Bernat (Bernard) de Foix - who succeeded his mother to become the Comte de Bigorre Rogièr (Roger) de Foix - who became the Comte de Foix Petro Bernat (Pierre Bernard) de Foix - who became the Comte de Couserans and later succeeded his brother as Comte de Foix Heraclius (Heracle) de Foix - who was the Bishop of Bigorre from 1056 to 1065 Gerberga, later Ermesinda de Foix - who married Ramiro I King of Aragón and became Queen Ermesinda of Aragón Stefania (Etiennette) de Foix - who married, secondly, Garcia V King of Navarra and became the Queen Estefania of Navarra Note: the parents of Bishop Heraclius de Foix and Stefania are considered to have been Bernard de Foix and Garsinda but the historic reports did not quote associated primary records confirming the parentage and are therefore not labelled as certain in their cases (see notes associated with their profiles). Garsinda died in about 1032-34. Bernat Rogièr died on 22 Aug of 1036 (or potentially of 1038).
