Born on this day in 1071 to William Poitiers VIII, Duke of Aquitaine and Hildegarde of Burgundy, William Poitiers IX, Duke of Aquitaine (my toy,wikipedia). Grandfather of Eleanor who married Henry II. William avoided going on the first crusade, preferring instead to take Toulouse off his wife's uncle who was busy crusading. Later he did go crusading, but was not very good at it. He is famous mostly as a poet.
