The earliest reference to "comitatus Matisconensis" is in a charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 853[1548]. The pagus Matisconensis covered the same territory as the bishopric of Màcon[1549]. Guillaume "le Pieux" Duke of Aquitaine was also known as Comte de Mâcon, a title which he presumably held in his capacity as Comte d'Auvergne. Mâcon´s dependence from the county of Auvergne is confirmed by the charter dated 825 under which Hildebaud Bishop of Mâcon granted property "in...pago Matescense villam...Cluniacus" to "Warinus comes...et uxori suæ Albanæ" [identified as Warin Comte d´Auvergne, who died in 853][1550]. He appointed Raculf as Vicomte de Mâcon, who witnessed a charter as such in 893[1551], and whose daughter married Aubry de Narbonne who became Comte de Mâcon. Mâcon remained under the jurisdiction of the comtes d'Auvergne, as shown by a charter of "Girbaldus", "residente quondam domno Wilelmo iuniore, comite, Matiscone", dated May 926[1552], indicating Guillaume II Duke of Aquitaine who was also Comte d'Auvergne. The date when the dukes of Burgundy assumed suzerainty over the comtes de Mâcon has not yet been ascertained.
AUBRY [Alberic] de Narbonne, son of MAYEUL Vicomte de Narbonne & his wife --- (-[10 Sep] 945, bur Besançon Saint-Etienne). A charter dated 15 Jun 911, under which Arnust Archibishop of Narbonne donated property to Saint-Paul deNarbonne, names "infantes Majolo vicecomite et uxori suæRaymundæ...Walchario et...Albericho vicecomite", the wording implying that the parents were deceased at that date[1553]. A genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Albericus Narbonensis" and refers to his marriage to "filiam Raculfi vicecomitis post mortem domini Bernonis Matiscensis episcopi", stating that he subsequently installed himself as first Comte de Mâcon[1554]. Comte de Mâcon. "Berno episcopus" donated property to "Albericus comes" by charter dated "die Martis Kal Jan anno VIII regnante Rodulfo rege" [930] subscribed by "comes Letaldus, uxor eius Berta"[1555], although, as noted below, the reference to Letaud's wife Berta suggests that this charter is misdated. "Albericus comes" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [936/41] subscribed by "Letaudi, Ermentrudis coniugis sue"[1556]. The necrology of Mâcon Cathedral records the death "IV Id Sep" of "Albericus comes"[1557], although this entry could alternatively refer to Count Aubry [II] (see below).
m TOLANA de Mâcon, daughter of RACULF Vicomte de Mâcon & his wife --- (-after [941]). The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Albericus Narbonensis" and refers to his marriage to "filiam Raculfi vicecomitis post mortem domini Bernonis Matiscensis episcopi"[1558]. "Tolosane" is named as wife of Alberic in a charter of her son Letaud dated [12 Apr] 935 and "Etolane" mother of Letaud in the latter's charter dated 8 May [955][1559]. "Letaudus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the souls of "patris mei Alberici…et matris mee Tolane…Irmengardis quondam uxoris sue" by charter dated to [941] subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[1560].
Comte Aubry & his wife had three children
