Bernard (or Bernat) of Septimania (795–844), son of William of Gellone, was the Frankish Duke of Septimania and Count of Barcelona from 826 to 832 and again from 835 to his execution. He was also count of Carcassonne from 837. He was appointed to succeed his fellow Frank Rampon. During his career, he was one of the closest counsellors of the Emperor Louis the Pious, a leading proponent of the war against the Moors, and opponent of the interests of the local Visigothic nobility. ==Title== Bernard was indisputably a count (''comes'') of Barcelona and several other counties over the course of his long career. He also appears in the chronicles with the title duke (''dux''), though the extent to which this was a military designation is obscure.〔Archibald R. Lewis, "The Dukes in the Regnum Francorum, A.D. 550-751" ''Speculum'' 51.3 (July 1976), pp. 381-410 offers some disambiguation of these Frankish titles.〕 He is sometimes retrospectively referred to by historians as a margrave (''marchio''). Here are his name and title as they appear in several primary sources: *''Bernhardus comes Barcinonensis''〔''Annales Fuldenses'' (''Gesta quorundam regum Francorum'') s.a. AD 829 (entry ascribed to Einhard), p. 360.〕 ("Bernard, Count of Barcelona") *''duce Bernhardo''〔Thegan, p 597.〕 ("Duke Bernard") *''præfatus Bernardus''〔''Annales Bertiniani''.〕 ("Prefect Bernard") *''Bernhardum Barcenonensium ducem''〔''Annales Fuldenses'' s.a. AD 844 (entry ascribed to Rudolf of Fulda), pp. 364.〕 ("Bernard, Duke of Barcelona") *''Bernardus comes marcæ Hispanicæ''〔 ("Bernard, Count of the Hispanic March") *''Bernardo comiti Tolosano''〔Flodoard, p 338.〕 ("Bernard, Count of Toulouse") 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernard of Septimania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
