Bernard I, Count of La Marche

Bernard I of La Marche (c. 991–1047), son of Aldebert I, was passed over as a boy in favour of his uncle Boso II. Around 1008 Duke William V of Aquitaine detached La Marche from Périgord and invested Bernard, but the abbot of Le Dorat held the county during his minority. Bernard appears as count by 1023.

By that year he had also feuded with Hugh of Lusignan over Civray. He died before June 1047, and by Amélie de Montignac left the counts Aldebert II and Eudes I.
