5. | Philippa Of TOULOUSE was born about 1073 in Toulouse, France (daughter of William IV Count Of TOULOUSE and Emma DE MORTAIN); died on 28 Nov 1117. Notes:
Fontevrault Abbey was founded in 1099 by Robert d'Abrissel, a Breton hermit, who believed that women made better administrators than men. Monks and nuns from the highest families inhabited Fontevrault under the leadership of an abbess. Philippa of Toulouse was a passionate follower of d'Abrissel and more than likely assisted in the founding and works of the abbey. Burials in the abbey church include Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, their daughter, Joanna, and their son, Richard I. Isabel of Angouleme, wife of Joh, King of England, is also buried there. The abbey was suppressed in 1792 and became, under Napolean, a prison. In 1963, the prison was closed and restoration work was begun.

7. | Dangereuse De L'Isle BOUCHARD was born about 1080 (daughter of Bartholomew Seigneur De L'Isle BOUCHARD and ? UNKNOWN). Other Events and Attributes:
- Fact: Dangerose was also mistress of William VII of Poitou
Notes:
Dangereuse, after having had three children by her husband, became the mistress of Eleanor's grandfather, William IX. After William IX brought Dangereuse to live in the ducal palace in Poitiers, his whife, Philippa of toulouse, withdrew to the Abbey of Fontevrault, where on November 28, 1118 she died "whether from illness or wretchedness there is no way of knowing." To secure her position with the Duke, Dangereuse reportedly arranged for her daughter, Aenor, to marry the Duke's son, William, in 1121.
