Alphonse of Poitiers ( 11 November 1220 – 21 August 1271 ) was the Count of Poitou from 1225 and Count of Toulouse ( as Alfonso II ) from 1247.

Born at Poissy, Alphonse was a son of Louis VIII, King of France and Blanche of Castile.

It stipulated that a brother of King Louis was to marry Joan of Toulouse, daughter of Raymond VII of Toulouse, and so in 1237 Alphonse married her.

In 1252, on the death of his mother, Blanche of Castile, Alphonse was joint regent with Charles of Anjou until the return of Louis IX.

Alphonse Gabriel " Al " Capone ( January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947 ) was an American gangster who led a Prohibition-era crime syndicate.

On 7 May 1251 Avignon was made a common possession of counts Charles of Anjou and Alphonse de Poitiers, brothers of French king Saint Louis IX.

On 25 August 1271, at the death of Alphonse de Poitiers, Avignon and the surrounding countship Comtat-Venaissin ( which was governed by rectors since 1274 ) were united with the French crown.

Alphonse, however, was cool to the idea ; and King Louis forbade it outright.

Fortunately for Charles, the new Pope Clement IV was the former adviser to his brother Alphonse and strongly supported the accession of Charles.

The first kings of Asturias referred to themselves as " princeps " ( prince ) and later as " rex " ( king ), but the later title was not firmly established until the period of Alphonse II.

The chronicles on which knowledge of this period is based, written all during the reign of Alphonse III when there was great Gothic ideological influence, are the Sebastianensian Chronicle ( Crónica Sebastianense ), the Albeldensian Chronicle ( Crónica Albeldense ) and the Rotensian Chronicle ( Crónica Rotense ).

Favila was succeeded by Alphonse I, who inherited the throne of Asturias thanks to his marriage to Pelayo's daughter, Ermesinda.

Silo was married to Adosinda, one of the daughters of Alphonse I ( and therefore, Pelayo's granddaughter ).

Alphonse II was elected king after Silo's death, but Mauregato organized a strong opposition and forced the new king to withdraw to lands in Alava ( his mother, Munia, was Basque ), obtaining the Asturian throne.

Legend says that Mauregato was Alphonse I's bastard son with a Moorish woman, and attributes to him the tribute of a hundred maidens.

In 1829, he became a professor of physics at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures that was being founded by the businessman Alphonse Lavallée, by Péclet, and by three other scientists, Philippe Benoît, Jean-Baptiste Dumas and Théodore Olivier.
