William III of Mâcon
William III of Mâcon (1088–1156), also known as William IV of Burgundy, was count of Mâcon (1102–1156), count of Auxonne (1127–1156), count of Vienne (1148–1156) and regent of the county of Burgundy (1148–1156). He was a younger son of Stephen I, Count of Burgundy, and of Beatrice of Lorraine. After the death of his brother, Renaud III, he took control of the county of Burgundy in the name of his niece Beatrice. He was recognized as count by the emperor Frederick Barbarossa by 1152. He died in 1156 while on Crusade in the Holy Land, and Frederick married Beatrice and took over the county.[1]

gollark: I think communism and socialism are about more than land use, though?
gollark: Clearly the best approach is to give me all economic data and run ??? algorithms on it to extract the optimal economic plan.
gollark: I didn't say you did say that, but you did say "lot of my friends do this and rent the property for next to nothing as a fuck you to capitalism".
gollark: Also, they could probably just live somewhere with less wildly inflated house pricing.
gollark: > I want the scientists in society to have a place to exist too.I mean, I don't disagree, but just "give whoever rents it first a freeish house" doesn't seem like a good mechanism for that. Unless you mean they do "give whoever they find cool a freeish house", which is... also bad in other ways.
