Roger Bernard II of Foix
Roger Bernard II, called the Great (1195 – 26 May 1241), Count of Foix from 1223, was the son of Raymond Roger and Philippa. His 1203 marriage to Ermessinde of Castelbon, lady of Andorra, brought his son Roger IV Castelbon and Andorra. In 1217 he held Montgailhard castle for six weeks against Simon de Montfort and fought at the siege of Toulouse.
As count he helped Raymond VII of Toulouse take Carcassonne in 1224. Louis VIII rejected his embassy seeking peace in 1226, and he resisted the king's invasion of Languedoc in 1226–1227. Excommunicated, he made peace after the 1229 Treaty of Meaux, renouncing Mirepoix.
