In 1132, Berenguer was in a succession war against Alfonso Jordan, Count of Toulouse, over the county of Melgueil.[2] Alfonso was defeated and Berenguer married Beatrice, heiress of Melgueil.[1] His reign was occupied in wars with the family of Baux, which claimed the county of Provence.[2] Berenguer also took an offensive against Genoa, but died at Melgueil in 1144.[2] His son Raymond Berengar succeeded him in Provence,[1] but the county of Melgueil went to Beatrice' second husband, Bernard V Pelet, and their daughter Ermessende of Pelet.
