Arles is the name of a "kingdom" formed 933-35 uniting Provence and
Burgundy (including part of modern Switzerland). It appears that Ratbold
II had a son, Rudolph III, who bequeathed the kingdom to Emperor Conrad II
in 1032. It is unclear who the father of Boso, Count of Provence, is.
{Ratbold II is presumed to be the father of Gerberga, wife of Fulk II,
Count of Anjou - see W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry: (Baltimore:
Gen. Pub. Co., 1968, p.6), where the death year for Ratbold I is given as
