Biography [ edit | modify the code ]
Roger is the son of a Count Arnaud and probably of his wife Arsinde. It is assumed that this Arnaud could come from the entourage of the Dukes of Aquitaine , but there is no certainty about this. Arsinde would belong to the count family of Toulouse .
Dominating the counties of Carcassès and Razès, he notably extended his possessions over the entire south of the county of Toulouse (part left as an inheritance to his son Bernard Roger, originally from the county of Foix ), one third of the county of Comminges , the Volvestre , in Couserans , on the Quercorb as well as on Minerve and the abbey of Caunes . He was in conflict with the count of Toulouse and the count of Cerdagne and Besalú Oliba Cabreta , against whom he won two military victories, although he had to definitively give up to the latter his suzerainty over the entire south of the county of Razès: Country of Sault ,Donezan , Capcir and Fenouillèdes .
Children [ edit | modify the code ]
From his marriage to Azalaïs (or Adelaide), attested by his side for the first time in April 970 1 , he had at least four children:
Raymond Roger de Carcassonne (died before his father);
