Page 16: "Beatrix d'Albon, mariée avec Guillaume I de Poitiers, comte
de Valeniinois, fils du comte Aimar I. (Art de vérifier les dates, t.
X, p. 470.};"

This Beatrix is the daughter of Guigues VIII (IV) and Marguerite
Clémence de Bourgogne. She is the aunt of the other Beatrix, daughter
of her brother Guigues IX (V).

There are differing opinions as to whether she married Guillaume (as
per the above book) of Guillaume's son, Aymar, sn de Boulogne-en-Velay
de Saint-Vincent et de Barres (as per ES III.4 #740).
