Wulgrim III of Angoulême, inherited the territory of Count of Angoulême from his father, William IV of Angoulême.

His untimely death, was the first break in the house of Wulgrim which had ruled Angoulême since the days of the Carolingians. As he had only one daughter, Mathilde of Angoulême, the territory went to his younger brother, William V of Angoulême. His daughter Mathilde would marry Hugh IX of Lusignan, who would eventually inherit the kingdom, over the claims of John of England, through Isabella of Angoulême, the daughter of Aymer of Angoulême, the third and youngest brother.
