geni.com Willa de Provence, reine de Haute-Bourgogne French: Willa Bosonide, reine de Haute-Bourgogne Also Known As: "Guilla", "Guille", "Willa", "of Burgundy" Birthdate: December 873 Birthplace: Provence, France Death: before 924 Rome, Italy Immediate Family: Daughter of Boson d'Autun, Comte de Vienne, Dux de Provence and Unknown Wife of Boso Wife of Rudolph I, king of Upper Burgundy and Hugues I d'Arles, King of Italy, Regent of Lower Burgundy Mother of Louis II, king of Provence; Willa of Burgundy; Adélaïs of Burgundy; Waldrada, of Burgundy; Rudolph II, King of Upper Burgundy and Italy and N.N. Duc de Bourgogne; Irmingard of Burgundy and Judith of Burgundy Half sister of Ermengarde de Bourgogne, Daughter of Boson; Engelberge de Provence and Louis III the Blind, Holy Roman Emperor Occupation: The Princess of Lower Burgundy, Princesse, d'Italie, prinzessin, Queen of Burgundy Guilla of Provence or of Burgundy (died before 924) was an early medieval Frankish queen in the Rhone valley. It is certain that she was the first consort of Rudolf I of Upper Burgundy (who was proclaimed king in 888 and died on 25 October 911) and later, from 912, consort of Hugh of Arles, border count of Provence, who in 926 became king of Northern Italy. Everything else in her genealogy is more or less uncertain. She is believed to have been a daughter of Boso of Lower Burgundy (Provence), and she is presumed to have been the mother of King Rudolf II of Upper Burgundy and Italy. These two kinships enjoy some indicative support from near-contemporary sources. The first-mentioned kinship would make her a sibling, at least half-sister, of Louis the Blind. The second would mean she were an ancestor of the last independent Burgundian royal house, and through it ancestor of last Ottonian emperors, of the last Carolingian king of France, of a number of dukes of Swabia, of the later Guelph dynasty, and of the Salian Imperial House, as well as of practically all European royal families since High Middle Ages. Queen Guilla's date of death, after 912 and before 924, is determined because of a charter (expressing her to be dead) dated in 924. After her death, in 926, her widower, Count Hugh, took over the kingdom of Italy from Rudolf II of Burgundy (who was either stepson or own son of Guilla). Guilla of Provence (December 873 – before 15 June 929), married firstly Rudolph I of Burgundy, secondly Hugh of Italy; her mother is reported to have been Ermengard, but this seems to be erroneous because she was born before Boso and Ermengarde's wedding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilla_of_Provence https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willa_de_Provence https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willa_di_Provenza
