The House of Toulouse, sometimes called House of Saint-Gilles or Raimondines, is a family of Frankish origin established in Languedoc that owned the County of Toulouse. Its first representative was Fulcoald of Rouergue, who died after 837. His sons Fredelo and Raymond I were the first hereditary counts of Toulouse from 849 to 863. The last holder of the county in the agnatic line was Raymond VII who died in 1249. This family therefore reigned over the county for four centuries.[1]
