It had long been thought that he was succeeded directly by William III. However, recent research suggests adding at least one and as many as three previously overlooked counts. That at least one of these was named Raymond has resulted in conflicting numbering systems, but most historians continue to use the traditional numbering for later Raymonds.

Famous quotes containing the words house of and/or house:

    “But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
