Toulouse, in SW France, had a large population by the middle of the 4th century. In 419 is became capital of the
Visigoth kingdom, and remained a great city under the Merovingians. Charlemagne appointed his little son Louis
king of Aquitaine with Toulouse the chief city. It was besieged by Charles the Bald in 844, and taken in 848 by the
Norsemen. "About 852 Raymond I, count of Quercy, succeeded his brother Fridolo as count of Rouergue and
Toulouse; it is from this noble that all the later counts of Toulouse trace their descent." - Encycl.Brit.,'56,22:326.
