m ([1189]%29 [PHILIPPA, daughter of ---. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Madona Phelipa" as the wife of "Mossen Ramond Roger"[285]. This appears to be the only reference to the name of Comte Raymond Roger´s wife, but the source is too late to give much credibility to its account of the early comtes de Foix which is garbled.] Comte Raymond Roger & his wife had three children:

1. ROGER BERNARD [II] "le Grand" de Foix (-1241 after 20 May, bur abbey of Boulbonne {Mazères, Ariège}).

2. AIMERY (-after 25 Apr 1229). The testament of Raymond Roger Comte de Foix is dated May 1222 and names his children Roger Bernard, Aimery and Cécile[299]. A charter dated 25 Apr 1229 records allegiance of "Rogerio Bernardi comiti Fuxensi" to Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse, naming “Aimericum et Lupum fratres nostros et Athonem Arnaldi”[300].

A charter dated 25 Apr 1229 records allegiance of "Rogerio Bernardi comiti Fuxensi" to Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse, naming “Aimericum et Lupum fratres nostros et Athonem Arnaldi”[303].
