Count Raymond de Bourgogne
(Est 1045 - 26 Mar 1107)
Raymond was the fifth son of Guillaume I, comte de Bourgogne. He came to the Iberian Peninsula for the first time during the period 1086-1087 with Eudes I, duke of Burgundy. He came for the second time (1090) to marry Urraca of Castile, eventual heiress of Alfonso VI 'the Brave', king of Castile and León. On that visit he came with his cousin Henri of Burgundy, who married another daughter of Alfonso VI, Teresa of Castile and León.
By his marriage Raymond received the counties of Galicia, Portugal and Coimbra. The last two were later offered to Raymond's cousin Henri, father of Afonso I 'o Conquistador', the first Portuguese king.
Raymond died on 26 March 1107 in León. He was succeeded by his son Alfonso, who became Alfonso VII, king of Castile and León.
