3Ranulf I (also Ramnulf, Rannulf, and Ranulph) (820–866) was a
Count of Poitiers (from 835) and
Duke of Aquitaine (from 852). He is considered a possible son of
Gerard, Count of Auvergne, and Hildegard (or Matilda), daughter of
Louis the Pious and
Ermengard. Few details are known about Ranulf I, except that he died in 866 in
Aquitaine from wounds received in the
Battle of Brissarthe against the
Vikings (in which
Robert the Strong also died). Ranulf I is the 32nd Great-Grandfather to
Queen Elizabeth II.
