2. BERENGUER RAMÓN de Barcelona ([1114]-murdered Melgueil Mar 1144). The Brevi Historia Comitum Provinciæ 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[385]. "Raymondi comes Barchinonensis, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius, Raimundi et Berengarii filiorum suorum…" subscribed the charter dated [4/12] Feb 1114 under which "Bernardus Wilelmi…comes Ceritaniensis" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse[386], which must place the birth of Berenguer Ramón in late 1113 or early 1114, assuming that the charter is correctly dated. He succeeded his father in 1131 as BERENGER RAYMOND I Comte de Provence, Vicomte de Rodez, de Gévaudan et de Carladet. The Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium records that "fratre suo [=Raimundi Berengarii quarti] Berengario-Raimundi Provinciæ Comite" who ruled the county of Provence was killed by pirates "in portu Malguriensi"[387]. The Annals of Caffaro record that "comes Milgorii, frater comitis Barcilonie" attacked Genoa and was killed "a quodam balistario galee", dated to [1143/44] from the context[388].

m (betrothed 1132, before 1135) as her first husband, BEATRIX Ctss de Melgueil, daughter of BERNARD [IV] RAYMOND Comte de Melgueil & his wife Guillemette de Montpellier ([1124]-after 1190). Alphonse Comte de Toulouse and Guillaume [V] Seigneur de Montpellier agreed terms relating to the county of Melgueil by charter dated 1132, agreeing that they would agree the marriage of “filia Bernardi Melgoriensis comitis” in six years time[389]. Berenger Raymond Comte de Provence and Guillaume [V] Seigneur de Montpellier agreed terms relating to the marriage of “Beatrix filia sororis tuæ Guillelmæ”, provided that, if Beatrix died under the age of 12, Berenger Raymond would marry “filiam tuam”[390]. Under a charter dated 1135 “Berengarius.Raimundi filius Dulciæ comes Melgoriensis et marchio Provinciæ et…Beatrix filia Guillelmæ” agreed to pay a debt owed by "Bernardus comes pater Beatricis" to "Guillelmo Montispessulani filio Ermessendis" relating to the county of Melgueil[391]. She married secondly Bernard Pelet d'Alais, who succeeded as Comte de Melgueil by right of his wife. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated Mar [1145/46] under which "Beatrix Melgoriensis comitissa filia Guillelme et Bernardi, felicis memorie comitis Mergoriensis" and "Bernardus Peleti comes maritus hujus Beatricis" recognised obligations to "Guillelmo Montispessulani filio Ermessendis" previously agreed by "Bernardus comes, pater mei Beatricis"[392]. Comte Bérenger Raymond & his wife had one child:
