In 968, she married William IV, Duke of Aquitaine. His overindulging in hunting and women offended her greatly. Around 990, he retired to a monastery. During the course of her marriage, she founded the monastery of Saint Peter in Bourgueil and the abbey of Maillezais. Emma then ruled Aquitaine as regent for their son William V.4 | |
