from http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ANGOULEME.htm:

The county of Périgord, named after the Celtic tribe of the Petrocorii, was located to the south-east of the county of Angoulême and now forms the major part of the département of Dordogne in France. The counts were vassals of the dukes of Aquitaine. The main towns in the county were Périgueux (ancient Vesunna) and Bergerac. From an ecclesiastical point of view, the county's territory was co-extensive with the episcopacy of Périgueux, within the archbishopric of Bordeaux.

The earliest reference to Périgord as a separate county dates to 866, when Vulgrin, a member of a prominent Frankish noble family of Carolingian descent through the female line, was installed by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks as comte in Périgord and Angoulême after the death of Emenon Comte de Poitiers, as reported in the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes[81]. The county of Périgord was inherited by Vulgrin's younger son Guillaume, whose descendants are set out in Part A of this Chapter 2. The line of Guillaume was in constant rivalry with the descendants of Vulgrin's older son Alduin, who inherited the county of Angoulême, the latter county also falling to Bernard Comte de Périgord in [945]. Comte Bernard is reported as having eight sons, none of whom appear to have left any descendants. After passing successively through four of these sons, the county of Périgord was ultimately inherited by Audebert [I] Comte de la Marche, son of their sister Aina who had married Boson [I] Comte de la Marche. Audebert [I] was succeeded in Périgord in 997 by his younger brother Boson [II], who founded the second dynasty of the Comtes de Périgord (see Part B).

VULGRIN, son of VULFARD Comte de Flavigny {Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, Côte d'Or} & his wife Susanna de Paris (-3 May 886, bur Angoulême Saint-Cybard). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks installed "Vulgrimnum propinquum suum, fratrem Aldoini abbatis" with "Engolisme et Petragorice" after Comte Emenon was killed (in 866)[88]. He was installed as Comte d'Angoulême, Comte de Périgord in 866. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 2 Nov 889 under which "Vulfardus" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitoris mei Vulfardi et genetrice mea Susannane necnon et germanorum fratrum meorum Adelardo, Vulgrino, Ymo et sorore mee Hildeburga vel nepote meo Vulgrino"[89]. The death in 886 of "Vulgrimnus comes" is recorded in the Annales Engolismenses[90].

2. ALDUIN [Audouin] (-27 Mar 916, bur Angoulême Saint-Cybard). "Alduino [et] Willelmo" are named as sons of "Vulgrimnus" by Ademar, who specifies that Alduin inherited Angoulême[91]. He succeeded his father in 886 as ALDUIN I Comte d'Angoulême.

3. GUILLAUME (-[918]). "Alduino [et] Willelmo" are named as sons of "Vulgrimnus" by Ademar, who specifies that Guillaume inherited Périgord[92]. He succeeded as Comte de Périgord et d'Agen. m ([892]%29 REGILINDIS, daughter of RAYMOND I Comte de Toulouse & his wife Berthe --- . Ademar states that the wife of Guillaume was "sororem Willelmi Tolosani"[93], but this is contradicted in later sources. An act at Angoulême dated 907/908[94] states her first name. An 11th century history of Angoulême[95] states that her son Bernard de Périgueux was the nephew of "Eudes". According to Settipani[96], it is more likely that this "Eudes" was Eudes Comte de Toulouse than Eudes King of France.
