William VI of Montpellier
William VI or Guillem VI (died 1161) was the eldest son of William V and his wife Ermessende, daughter of Count Peter II of Melgueil.〔Archibald Ross Lewis, "The Guillems of Montpellier: A Sociological Appraisal", ''Viator'', 2 (1971): 159–69.〕 William succeeded his father in the lordship of Montpellier in 1121, while still a minor, under his mother's guardianship. He suppressed a revolt of the bourgeoisie in 1143 and participated in several military campaigns of the ''Reconquista'' in Spain (1134, 1146–47). He also increased the public character of the lordship in Montpellier and supported the growth of its trade.〔Archibald Ross Lewis, "Seigneurial Administration in Twelfth-Century Montpellier", ''Speculum'', 22/4 (1947): 562–77.〕〔Archibald Ross Lewis, "The Development of Town Government in Twelfth-Century Montpellier", ''Speculum'', 22/1 (1947): 51–67.〕
==Power sharing==
At the beginning of William's reign, secular authority in Montpellier was shared between the Guillem dynasty, the hereditary ''viguiers'' of the town, and the Bishop of Montpellier.〔Lewis, "Seigneurial Administration", 567–68.〕 In 1139 William confirmed the vicarage to the heirs of the old ''viguier'' Bernard Guillem, and the surviving document shows that the ''viguier''’s power has increased since 1103 and was probably at its height.〔 William did secure the reaffirmation of his seigneurial rights at Castelnau (1132, 1138) and Lattes (1140).〔 In 1139 William possessed several ''censives'' in the suburb of Villa Nova. A ''cens'' (plural ''censives'') was a right to tax land, although earlier it had probably been a right to tax persons. By the twelfth-century it could be applied to the lands owing taxes.〔Lewis, "Seigneurial Administration", 563.〕
In 1140 a dispute arose between William VI and the bishop over jurisdiction in Montpellieret.〔 The bishop alleged that William was extending the walls and fortifications of the town to encompass some of the episcopal section of Montpellieret and was forcing vassals of the church of Montpellier to contribute to the local defence fund: "William had built a fortification () to wall his city in the tenancy of the bishop (had made ) the men of Montpellier, and other men of (cathedral of ) the Blessed Peter, (to ) the collection of the commune () of Montpellier."〔Lewis, "Town Government", 61: ''vallam ad muniendam villam suam in honore episcopi Guillelmus erigi fecit ... homines Montispessulani, et alios homines Beati Petri ... collationem communitatis Montispessulani''.〕 This may show that control of the walls and fortifications was already in the hands of the bourgeoisie, as it certainly was by 1196. It is probable that William was the first lord of Montpellier to oversee the extension of the walls to include territory judicially under the control of all three leading figures in the town.〔Lewis, "Town Government", 56 n.19.〕
William's feudal rights included the fealty and homage of several castellanies in the region around Montpellier. He procured general oaths of loyalty from the castellans of these in 1130 and again in 1147.〔 He purchased the castle of Pouget in 1129, and bestowed it on his brother, William of Aumelas, and purchased that of Santeragues in 1147–48.〔Lewis, "The Guillems of Montpellier", 168.〕 Among the castles which William controlled (some more than others) were Montferrier, Pignan, Coronsec, Frontignan, Valmale and Saint-Pons-de-Mauchiens.〔
