Шаблон:Short description Aimar VШаблон:Efn(c. 1135 – c. 1199) was a Viscount of Limoges and a nobleman in the Duchy of Aquitaine.

Life

Born in Limoges around 1135, his family named him Boson; he later adopted the traditional name for the previous viscounts, Aimar. He was orphaned at a young age in 1148, and raised by his relatives among the southern French aristocracy. Due to the strategic importance of the city of Limoges and the nearby dependent castrum of Aixe-sur-Vienne, Aimar was a ward of King Henry II and ruled from 1148 to approximately 1184, when he was exiled to France and was succeeded by his son Guy.Шаблон:Citation needed

Aimar was outlawed for his insurrection against Henry II and was exiled. He subsequently was found among Stipendiary Knights supporting the Count of Toulouse in 1184 in an attempt to reclaim part of Quercy from the Plantagenets. Aimar's inclination to disobey the Plantagenet Kings, Henry II and Richard, was encouraged by Bertran de Born.
