William I (or in Occitan: Guilhem I) was the founder of a dynasty which bears his name, the Guilhems, Lords of Montpellier. He received his fief (a manor) of Monspestularius (Montpellier) on 26 November 985 from Bernard, Count of Mauguio[1], with the permission of Ricuin, Bishop of Maguelone.[citation needed]

Without descendants after his death, his nephew Guilhem II of Montpellier succeeded him.[citation needed]
