RAYMOND de Baux, son of GUILLAUME-HUGUES de Baux & his wife Vierne --- ([1075/85]-Barcelona 1150). Guillaume-Hugues donated property, previously owned by his father Hugues de Baux, to the church of Saint-Trophime d'Arles, with the consent of Vierne his wife and their sons Hugues and Raymond by charter dated 1091[873]. He participated in the First Crusade: "…Raimundus de Balcio, decanus de Poscheriis…" subscribed the charter dated 31 Jan 1105 under which "Raymundus comes S. Aegidii" confirmed donations to the church of Arles in articulo mortis[874]. A charter dated May 1110 refers to earlier donations to Lérins by "Guillelmus Ugonis et uxor eius Vierna et filiis eius Raimundus" and the current donation by "Raimundi de Balcio et mater sua"[875]. Ramón Berenguer Conde de Barcelona and his wife Douce granted la seigneurie de Berre to Raymond de Baux by charter dated 1116[876]. A bull of Pope Calixtus II dated 22 Jun 1121 threatened excommunication against "Raimundi de Bautio, Guilelmo de Sabrano, Elesiario de Castrias, Rainoni de Castlar et Guilelmo Rainoardi" if they didn't prevent Alphonse Comte de Toulouse from attacking the monastery of Saint-Gilles, a subsequent bull dated 22 Apr 1122 noting that "…Raimundum de Baltio, Guillemum de Sabrano, Elisiarium de Castriis, Guillelmum Rainoardi de Mezenees, vicecomites de Mezoaga, et Rainonem de Castlar" had been excommunicated for the same offence[877]. Raymond de Baux and Hugues his son confirmed a donation of property to the Knights Hospitallers of St John by charter dated 29 Jun 1137, in the presence of Gilbert son of Raymond and Pierre-Isnard de Baux[878]. He was a contender to succeed as Comte de Provence in 1145, presumably basing his claim through his wife. "Raimundus de Baltio" swore allegiance to Raymond Archbishop of Arles by charter dated [1147][879]. Raymond de Baux, husband of Etiennette, and his sons made peace with Ramón Berenguer II Conde de Barcelona in 1150, but died before returning to Provence, whereupon his wife and sons Hugues, Guillaume, Bertrand and Gilbert confirmed the peace agreement[880]: a charter dated 17 Mar 1273 records a document dated 1150 which record the origins of a war between "Raymond de Baux, Etiennette et des fils contre le Comte" and the allegiance sworn by "Etiennette fille de la comtesse Gerberge, Hugues, Guillaume, Bertrand et Gilbert ses fils" to "Raymond conte de Barcelone"[881].
m (before [1110/15]) ETIENNETTE de Gévaudan, daughter of GIRBERT Vicomte de Gévaudan et de Millau & his wife Gerberge Ctss de Provence (-after 1160). Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 4 Aug 1145 under which Emperor Konrad III granted the right to mint coinage at Arles, Aix and at their château de Trinquetaille to Raymond de Baux and Etiennette his wife, and reconfirmed his possessions acquired since the death of his father Guillaume-Hugues and all the possessions of comte Girbert and comtesse Françoise Gerberge, parents of Etiennette[882]. The Brevi Historia Comitum Provinciæ incorrectly names "Berengarius primogenitus…Gilbertus secundo-natus qui fuit Comes Provinciæ, Raimundus tertio-natus, et Stephana qui fuit uxor Raimundi de Bauxio" as the children of "Raymundus-Berengarii vulgo Cap-De stoupes…dictus, Comes Barcinonæ in Catalonia" & his wife[883]. Raymond de Baux, his wife Etiennette and their son Hugues de Baux abandoned property rights in favour of the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem by charter dated May 1121[884]. "Raimundus de Baucio…consilio…uxoris mee Stephanie et filiorum meorum" made a donation by charter dated 1143[885]. A charter dated 17 Mar 1273 records a document dated 1150 which record the origins of a war between "Raymond de Baux, Etiennette et des fils contre le Comte" and the allegiance sworn by "Etiennette fille de la comtesse Gerberge, Hugues, Guillaume, Bertrand et Gilbert ses fils" to "Raymond conte de Barcelone"[886]. "Guilelmus de Sabrano…Rostagnus de Sabrano…" promised support to "Raymundo Berengarii comiti Barchinonensi et nepoti tuo Raymundo Berengarii filio fratris tui Berengarii Raymundi" against "Stephania uxor Raymundi de Baucio et Hugo filius eius et Guilelmus et Bertrandus et Gisbertus" by charter dated 1156[887]. Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" confirmed the 1145 charter of his predecessor King Konrad I in favour of "nobles Hugues de Baux, Bertrand et Gilbert ses frères, à leur mère Etiennette", by charter dated 1160[888].
Raymond & his wife had seven children:
