William III of Forcalquier
William III (died October 1129) was the Count of Forcalquier and Marquis of Provence from 1094. He was the second son of Count Ermengol IV of Urgell and Adelaide, heiress of Count William Bertrand of Provence.
Sometime between 1076 and 1080, William married Gersende, daughter of Count Guigues III of Albon. They had two sons, Guigues and Bertrand I.
On the death of his father in 1092, he received a part of the parias (tribute) from the taifa of Zaragoza. His father's will, now lost, enjoined him and his brother Ermengol V, who inherited Urgell, to fight continuously against the Muslims.[1]
William inherited a share of Provence (Forcalquier) on the death of his maternal grandfather in 1094. He died in Avignon.

gollark: Hmm. I'm unsure of how to do the highlighting search terms in a document thing even if the full text is stored.
gollark: And it has a fuzzy matcher module which could be connected to the search bit if you had a custom tokeniser.
gollark: Its tokeniser does stemming a bit but that isn't true fuzzy searching.
gollark: Not fuzzy searching, no. It has all the bits you need but to use them you need either accursed hacks or use of irritating bits of the C API not exposed by wrappers.
gollark: Given that the merely semiworking search thing I have is ⅓ the size of the Minoteaur backend code it will likely continue to use the SQLite search forever.
