BOSON [I] "le Vieux" (-before 974). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Bosonis vetuli de Marca" as father of "Helias Petragoricensi comite"[10]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence names "Audeberti comitis Marchiæ…filius Bernardi, qui fuit Audeberti, qui fuit Bosonis, qui Sulpicii, qui fuit Godfredi primi comitis de Karrofo"[11]. Comte de la Marche. "Droticus" donated "æcclesiam in pago Lemovicensi in proprio alodo...ad Turrim...sancti Salvatoris" to Limoges Saint-Etienne, in the presence of "seniorum meorum Rainaldi...vicecomitis et Bosonis marchionis" [the latter presumably identified as Boson [I] Comte de la Marche], by charter dated Aug 958[12]. m AINA [Emma] de Périgord, daughter of [BERNARD [I] Comte d'Angoulême et de Périgord & his first wife Berthe ---]. Ademar names "sorore Bernardi…Emma" as wife of "Bosonis Vetuli" and mother of "Aldebertus comes…Petragoricensis"[13], although this appears difficult to sustain chronologically given the likely birth date range of Bernard in [892/95] and the likely death date of Bernard's father Guillaume in [918]. It is more likely that "sorore" was an error for "filia", unless Aina was Bernard's uterine sister by an unidentified second marriage of his mother. If Aina was the daughter of Bernard, her naming one of her sons Gausbert suggests that his first wife was her mother, Bernard's son Gausbert being one of his older children, no doubt also born from this first marriage. Comte Boson [I] & his wife had five children
