After the death of Pip, Émenon belongs to Aquitanian revolted which proclaims the son of Ier Pip, the Pépin II, king of Aquitaine. The Louis emperor the Piles carries out itself a forwarding which takes Poitiers, there passes Christmas 839 and names Ramnulf count of Poitiers.

Émenon becomes then count de Périgueux until in 863, date on which it becomes also count d' Angoulême. He dies in a combat against the count of Saintes, Landri, qu' it also kills.

Marriage and children

No contemporary document mentions the name of its wives, and it is by the difference in age of his/her children that one could deduct two from them.

Of a first wife, girl of Sanche Ier Wolf, duke of Gascogne, it would have had:

• Arnaud, duke of Gascogne in 864

Widower, it would have remarié himself with a robertienne, girl of Eudes I {{er}}, count de Troyes, and of Wandilmodis, and would have had:

• Adémar († 926), count de Poitiers, then of Angouleme and Périgeux
