Archbishop of Narbonne

After serving as Archbishop of Narbonne, he was replaced in the dispute between Psalmodi and St. Victor of Marseille by the mediator Raymond William of Montpellier,[3] possibly as late as 1106, when he is recorded by Pascal II.

It is not known the reason why Bertrand was deposed. He was replaced by cardinal Richard, Abbot of St Victor of Marseille on Nov 5, 1106. He had served the diocese for 10 years and it is said that he died of mort de chagrin(died of sorrow.)[4]
