GUILLAUME [VI] (-25 Jan [1136]). "Rotberti comitis Alvernorum, Wilelmi filii eius" subscribed a charter of "Francorum rex Philippus" dated 1095[217]. Comte d'Auvergne et de Velay. The necrology of the priory of Saint-Robert de Cornillon, Grenoble records the death "VIII Kal Feb" of "Guillelmus comes Arverniæ"[218]. m ---. The name of Guillaume's wife is not known. It is possible that she was Emma of Sicily, daughter of daughter of Roger I Count of Sicily & his first wife Judith d'Evreux [Normandie]. Malaterra names "filiam eius…Emmam…de prima uxore Judicta" when recording that her father arranged her marriage to Philippe I King of France, in return for a generous dowry, not knowing that the king was still married to Bertha of Holland. She left for France, but when the king's marital status came to light, the dowry was sent back to Sicily and her marriage to the Comte de Clermont was arranged by her brother-in-law Raymond de Saint-Gilles[219]. Baluze is extremely sceptical about the reliability of these statements and suggests that the "comte de Clermont" in question may have been a member of the Clermont [Chiaramonte] family which is recorded from the early 12th century in southern Italy[220]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[221], the wife of Comte Guillaume [VI] was Emma, daughter of Guillaume d'Evreux, who was the maternal aunt of Emma of Sicily, but this appears to be chronologically impossible. Emma married [secondly] Rodolfo Macabeo Conte di Montescaglioso. Pope Pascal II confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat in Sicily and Calabria by charter dated 3 Jan 1113, listing the donations including "Emme filie Rogerii comitis Sicilie et Calabrie…orto ante ecclesiam Sancte Perpetue"[222]. "Rogerius…Sicilie et Italie rex" confirmed donations "a beate memorie Emma sorore nostra quondam comitissa civitate Severiane et Appii domina" to the church of St Basilius in Appia by charter dated 21 Sep 1133[223]. "Rogerius…Sicilie et Italie rex…Rogerii primi comitis heres et filius" confirmed past donations to St Mary Josephat, Jerusalem by (among others) "dna Emma soror nostra uxor quondam Radulfi Machabei" by charter dated 11 Oct 1144[224]. Comte Guillaume [VI] & his wife had two children
