His Family:
His will of 28 January 804, names his living wives Gunegunde and Guitburgi, his deceased parents, Teuderico and Aldana, two brothers, Teudoino and Adalelmo, two sisters, Abbana and Bertana, four sons, Barnardo, Guitcario, Gotcelmo, and Helmbruc, no daughters, and one nephew, Bertrano. His wife Guitburgi is said to have been the widow of the Moorish wali of Orange taken by William in his battles against the Umayyad army of Hisham I in and around the county of Narbona about 793-796. His son Barnardo is said to have been by Guitburgi. Her Muslim name was Orable(which does not sound Muslim) before she was christened. It is not clear if she married William or was held in concubinage, although he calls her his wife in his will.
