Chorso


Torson was the first count of Toulouse.
He is called Chorso dux Tholosanus by the so-called "Astronomer" in his Vita Hludovici. Torson was the regent of Aquitaine during the first years of the reign of Louis the Pious there. In 788, he was captured by the Gascon Adalric and made to swear an oath of allegiance to the Duke of Gascony, Lupus II. This was the reason for his dismissal upon his release.
