Agalbursa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agalbursa was the daughter of Ponce de Cervera and Almodis, daughter of Raymond Berengar IV of Barcelona. She married Barisone II of Arborea as his second wife.
She was the mother of two daughters, Ispella and Susanna. Ispella married Hugh I of Bas and was the mother of Hugh I of Arborea. When Barisone died in 1186, Agalbursa signed a charter as Dei gratia Arboree Regina.[1] She opposed her husband's eldest son by his first wife, Peter de Serra, and instead tried to impose her own grandson Hugh on the throne of Arborea with the help of her cousin Alfonso II of Aragon and the Republic of Genoa.
