Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Provence

Ramon Berenguer II (Raymond Berengar) (c. 1135–1166) was the count of Provence from 1144 to his death.

[2] He was immediately opposed by the family of Baux and it took the military action of his uncle, the count of Barcelona, in 1147 to secure his throne.

There he met Richeza of Poland, the daughter of the exiled Polish high duke, Ladislaus II and married her on 17 November.

[3] Ramon resumed the war with Genoa, but was assassinated during the siege of Nice in 1166.

[4] His daughter, Douce II, succeeded him, while widow Richeza was betrothed to Raymond V of Toulouse.
