We know little of Ranulf II except that he was a Duke of Aquitaine.

He is my 29 x great-grandfather.

House of Poitiers
By Ipankonin

Ranulf was born in Poitiers, France in 8481 , son of Ranulf I1 2 and Bilichildis.

Titles

He was Count of Poitiers from 8782, and Ranulf II, Duke of Aquitaine from 8882.

Family

Ranulf married Ermengarde, also known as Irmgarde1 and together they had a son, Ranulf III.

He also had an illegitimate son, Ebalus with an unknown mistress2.

Some sources claim Ermengarde is the same person as his mistress1 but far more sources claim these are two different people.

Death

He died in France. Different sources record his death in August 8901 or sometime after July 8922. In either case, we don’t know what he died of or where they buried him.

Lineage

He is my 29 x great-grandfather.
