Dhuoda, wife of Bernard, Duke of Septimania, has recently been shown
to have been a daughter of Sancho-Lupus, duke of Gascony, and his wife
(probably a daughter of Aznar Galindo, count of Aragon). Dr. Renee
Mussot-Goulard, professor of history at the Sorbonne, established this
parentage for Dhuoda, and Ronald F. Malan summarizes the arguments and
presents a genealogy in "The Ancestry of Dhuoda, Duchess of Septimania"
in the Spring 1997 issue (vol. 11, no. 1) of The Genealogist.
