Note 4 — Chapter III · FRANCE UNDER THE LATER CAPETS, 1270-1328

Since 1125 Provence had been divided into two parts: (1) the county, south of the Durance, which was given to the family of Bérenger, and passed, with the hand of their heiress Beatrice, to Charles I. of Anjou and Naples; (2) the marquisate, between the Durance, the Isère, the Alps, and the Rhône, which was held by the counts of Toulouse, and was brought by Jeanne to her husband, Alfonso of Poitiers.
