Girart de Roussillon[1] (v.810-v.877) connu aussi sous les noms de Gérard de Roussillon, Gyrart de Vienne, Gérard II de Paris, comte de Paris, et comte de Vienne (cf : Girardides).

Girard naît vers 810, fils du comte Leuthard Ier de Paris (comte de Fézensac et de Paris) et de Grimilde.

Fidèle au roi d'Aquitaine Louis le Pieux (dit le Débonnaire, fils de Charlemagne et futur empereur d'Occident 814-840), Girart organise la réconciliation du roi avec ses fils, et accède en 834 au titre de comte de Paris que détenait déjà son père Leuthard Ier mort en 816.

Il embrasse ensuite la cause de l'empereur Lothaire Ier contre Charles II le Chauve et combat à la Bataille de Fontenoy-en-Puisaye en 841. Après la défaite, il suit sans aucun doute Lothaire Ier à Aix-la-Chapelle (capitale de l'empire carolingien) dont il devient beau-frère en 843 en épousant Berthe, fille du comte Hugues III de Tours et de la Haute Alsace et sœur d'Ermengarde de Tours, femme de Lothaire Ier.
