Draft:Guillaume III Talleyrand of Angoulême

William III "Tallyrand" was a French Count of Angoulême and Périgord from 960 until his death in 962.

Biography
William was the second son of Count Bernard of Angoulême and his first wife Bertha. His full brother was Arnold I "Voratio" and his two half brothers were Ralph I "Bompar" and Richard "the Simple".

William is first mentioned as being a witness to a document in which his father, Bernard, returned the abbey of Saint-Sour de Genouillac to the friars, along with his siblings Arnald, Gauzbert, and Bernard.

Around 940, Bernard had the abbey of Sarlat restored with the consent of his second wife Garsenda and William was among those who countersigned the document.

Bernard died in 950, and was succeeded by Arnald in both Angoulême and Périgord. Arnald died sometime before William, leaving the counties to William.

William died in 962 and was succeeded by his half brother Ralph.
