Can someone create a disambiguation for the mountain with the same name.

Counts of Angouleme

[edit]

According to the book Families Directly Descended from All the Royal Families in Europe (495 to 1932) & Mayflower Descendants by Elizabeth M. Leach Rixford, the Taillefer referred to in this article was called William Taillefer, Le Chauser or Chassard and was the son of Geoffrey Taillefer, 10th Count of Angouleme who was also father to Foulque Taillefer, 11th Count of Angouleme. Seems, at least according to this source, he was also a member of the Norman nobility as well as a jongleur (from what I understand of the original meaning of "jongleur" the two wouldn't be mutually exclusive).

EDIT: A copy of the book can be found here at googlebooks with the relevant information found on page 137.

While I would ideally like to update the article to include this information I thought it best to present it here first.
