William VIII of Montpellier

William VIII (in Occitan: Guilhem; died 1202) was Lord of Montpellier, the son of William VII and Matilda of Burgundy (1135?-1173?).

William VIII married Eudokia Komnene, grand-niece of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos.

They had one daughter:
 * Marie of Montpellier

Lacking a male heir William separated from Eudokia, sending her to a monastery in Ariane. William married Agnes of Castile and they had:
 * William IX of Montpellier
 * Aymard, d.1199
 * Bergunyo
 * Bernat William
 * Tortoseta

The Pope ruled William's marriage to Agnes as illegitimate and Marie was given the throne.

William VIII was a patron of troubadours. Arnaut de Mareuil came to his court after fleeing from the entourage of Azalais of Toulouse, and at least one of Arnaut's poems is addressed to him.
