She brought Forcalquier to the House of Barcelona and united it to Provence. Garsenda was the daughter of Rainou de Sabran, lord of Caylar and Ansouis, and Garsenda, daughter of William IV of Forcalquier.

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "Sanctio [frater rege Petro de Arragonum" [presumably an error for "Alfonso"] as "neptem…comitis de Forcalcarie" [Chronica Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium 1213, MGH SS XXIII, p. 898]. Rodrigo of Toledo´s De rebus Hispaniæ records that "Aldefonso" married "neptem comitis Folocalquerii" [RHGF XIX, Ex Roderici archiepiscopi Toletani, De rebus Hispaniæ, Liber VI, III, p. 229]
Gersinde married Alfonso Berengar conde de Provence, son of Alfonso II Raimúndez Rey de Aragón and Sanchia Alfonsez de Castilla y León. (Alfonso Berengar conde de Provence was born about 1180 in Barcelona, Catalán and died on 1 Dec 1209 in Palermo.)
