Azalais of Toulouse
Azalaís of Toulouse (or Alaís, or Adelaide of Béziers) was the daughter of count
Adélaide de Maurienne
.
She was born at the castle of Burlats (canton of Roquecourbe, Tarn) and is therefore called contessa de Burlatz (Countess of Burlats) in the vida of Arnaut de Mareuil.
She was married to Roger II Trencavel, count of Béziers and Carcassonne, in 1171;[2] she was the mother of Raymond Roger Trencavel, who died in captivity after the siege of Carcassonne in 1209. Azalais herself died in 1199.
Azalais of Toulouse is named in the poems of several troubadours, including
Guillem de Berguedà
: "she gave you her love, and you took two cities and a hundred castles from her".
