William Garcés of Fézensac

Count of Fézensac

William García (also Guillaume Garcès or Guillermo Garcés) (died 960) was a Count of Fézensac. He was the second son of García II of Gascony and Amuna.[1]

When García II died in or around 926, he gave Gascony to his eldest son Sancho IV and created appanages for his younger sons: Fézensac for William and Astarac for Arnold. Fézensac included Auch, Vic, and the Armagnac.[2]

William himself divided his county amongst his heirs:

  • Odo, successor in Fézensac
  • Bernard, received Armagnac
  • Fredelon, received Gaure [fr; ca; es; oc]
  • Garsinda, married Raymond II of Ribagorza
