The second wife of Guillaume de Toulouse, and the mother of his daughter, Phillippa, was Emma de Mortain, daughter of Robert comté de Mortain and his wife Mathilde de Montgomery. Robert of Torigny names "unum filium Guillermum et tres filias" as the children of "Robertus comes Moritonii uterinus frater Willermi regis", specifying that one unnamed daughter (mentioned third) married "comes Tolosanus frater Raimundi comitis Sancti Ægidii" [Delisle, L. (ed.) (1872) Chronique de Robert de Torigni, abbé de Mont-Saint-Michel (Rouen), Tome I, 1159, p. 319]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 1114 under which her daughter "Philippæ comitissæ…Emmæ filia" reached agreement with "Bernardus-Atonis filius Ermengardis" [Histoire Générale de Languedoc 2nd Edn. Tome IV, Preuves, XXVII, p. 362].

Emma married Guillaume IV Comte de Toulouse et Duc de Narbonne, son of Pons comté de Toulouse and Almodis comtesse de la Marche.¹⁶⁰ (Guillaume IV Comte de Toulouse et Duc de Narbonne was born about 1040 in Toulouse ¹⁶⁰ and died in 1094 in Battle Huesca ¹⁰⁰².)
