INTRODUCTION

 

 

Catalonia formed part of the Visigothic kingdom.  It rose to prominence after Amalric, king of the Visigoths at Toulouse and Narbonne, fled to Barcelona after his defeat by his brother-in-law Childebert King of the Franks at Narbonne in 531.  Amalric's immediate successors abandoned Narbonne completely and established their court at Barcelona, until King Atanagildo moved his capital in Spain to Toledo in [554][1].  It is likely that Visigothic influence persisted in the territory of the original kingdom of Narbonne, approximating to what is now the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, and that this contributed to the united development of Catalonia on both sides of what is today the French/Spanish border. 

 

After the Moors entered Spain in [710/11] and defeated the Visigoth regime based in Toledo, their influence quickly spread throughout the Iberian peninsula.  The area around Barcelona provided the Moorish settlers with a base from which raids were launched into France, where the prospects for booty were richer than in Spain, until their defeat at Poitiers by Charles "Martel" in 732.  Muslim domination in the area later known as Catalonia was challenged by the Carolingian Franks.  Pepin "le Bref" King of the Franks captured Narbonne from the Muslims in [758/59].  The armies of his grandson, the future Emperor Louis I, occupied Girona, Urgell and Cerdanya in 785 and besieged Barcelona in 802, establishing the so-called "March of Spain" which later evolved into the Catalonian counties.  The first counts in the March of Spain, appointed by the Carolingian Frankish rulers, are recorded in the early 9th century. 

 

French Catalonia developed into the marquisate of Gothia or Septimania (see the document TOULOUSE, KINGS, DUKES & COUNTS).  A question which deserves further study is whether the March of Spain and Septimania were both governed as a single territory during the first half of the 9th century.  Emperor Charlemagne´s charter dated 2 Apr 812 addressed to eight counts in the Spanish March (without specifying the names of their counties)[2] suggests that the March of Spain was governed separately, although no indication has been found of the identity of the "marquis" who was placed in overall charge during the early years of the 9th century.  The Histoire Générale de Languedoc states that the duchy of Septimania was founded in [817] by Emperor Louis I, that it included both Septimania north of the Pyrenees and the March of Spain to the south, that Barcelona was its capital, and that Bero (who had been comte de Barcelona) was its first duke[3].  The Histoire also says that Bero´s successors, Bernard, Berenger, Sunifred (Seniofredo), Aledran, Udalric and Hunfrid, all ruled the combined territory which was only separated into its two components in 865[4].  The evidence to support the hypothesis that the two areas were governed jointly appears meagre.  Firstly, no primary source has yet been identified in which Bero is assigned the title marquis or duke.  Secondly, while it is true that Bernard Marquis de Septimania is also referred to as comte de Barcelona, he is recorded as having escaped to Barcelona after his disgrace in 830, which suggests that the territory did not form part of his confiscated marquisate.  Thirdly, in the cases of Seniofredo and Aledran, no primary source has been identified which directly indicates any connection with Septimania.  Lastly, no source has been found which identifies Hunfrid as ruler of the march of Spain. 

 

The main difficulty in deciding how the Spanish March was governed during the early 9th century is the impossibility of compiling a definitive list of consecutive marquises from the surviving primary sources.  The fact that Emperor Charlemagne addressed his 812 charter to the eight counts individually suggests that they may have received their counties directly from the emperor.  Was the March of Spain then a march without a marquis?  The key may lie in the diverse nature of the different counties which formed the Spanish March as well as the difficult terrain in which many of the counties were located. 

 

The main counties in Catalonia proper were Barcelona, Berga (Berguedà), Besalú, Cerdanya, Conflent, Empúries, Girona, Osona, Roussillon, Urgell and Vallespir, although some of these counties were ruled jointly.  In addition, the neighbouring counties to the west, Aragon, Pallars, Ribagorza and Sobrarbe may have been considered part of the Spanish March during the early years of the March´s existence, although their later development followed a different pattern (see the document ARAGON NOBILITY).  Apart from the coastal counties of Empúries, Girona and Barcelona, most of the area is mountainous and presumably communication was extremely difficult in the 9th and 10th centuries.  Given this situation on the ground, the imperial Frankish authorities may have considered it impractical to appoint a single ruler to exercise overall charge in all areas of the March of Spain, relying on the power exercised locally by the strongest counts, and maybe with some loose oversight arrangement from the marquis of Septimania to the north.  If this suggestion is correct, the Spanish March would have been the only example among all the different marches established along the frontier areas of the empire of a march without a centrally appointed single ruler. 

 

The county of Barcelona is first recorded in the early 820s.  The county became hereditary in the family of Guifré "el Pilós" in the latter part of the 9th century, as vassals of the Carolingian kings.  All charters during the 9th and 10th centuries are dated by the reigns of the Frankish kings.  After the succession of the Capetian dynasty in France in 987, it is likely that the comtes de Barcelona failed to swear allegiance to the new Frankish rulers, marking the beginning of the county´s true independence, although the dating clauses of many charters continue to refer to the French kings.  The rulers of Barcelona are titled "comes et marchio" in numerous primary source documents.  The county appears never to have been transformed into a "march" and the title presumably owes its origin to the original March of Spain.  The counts of Barcelona also ruled the county of Girona, to the north-east of Barcelona, from the latter part of the 9th century, as well as the county of Osona, directly north of the county of Barcelona. 

 

The counts of Barcelona emerged as the most powerful rulers in Catalonia.  However, the power of the other counts in Catalonia strengthened as Barcelona´s central authority weakened after the death of Comte Ramon Borrell in 1017.  The local nobility constructed fortresses from which they exercised autonomous control and created a network of local feudal systems.  Ramon Berenguer I Comte de Barcelona re-imposed the requirement of allegiance to his central authority, although the other nobility was largely unconstrained in the development of their local power under the codification of the feudal system provided by the Usatges, compiled from 1068.  Mainly as a result of a series of judicious marriages with local heiresses, the counts of Barcelona acquired the counties of Besalú (1111), Cerdaña (1117), Roussillon (1172), Pallars inferior (1192), Urgell (1209, confirmed in 1314), Empúries (1325), and Pallars superior (15th century).  In addition, the federal Aragonese/Catalan state resulted from the marriage of Ramon Berenguer IV Comte de Barcelona with Petronila, heiress of the kingdom of Aragon, in 1137. 

 

The family of the counts of Barcelona was studied in detail by Bofarull in 1835[5].  This work quotes numerous primary sources which have not otherwise been found, either in the original Latin or in castellano translation, with full citations of where they were archived at that time.  Many primary sources were collated by Pierre de Marca Archbishop of Paris in his 1688 work Marca Hispanica[6], extracts of which have been incorporated in the present document. 

 

Two important listings of early 14th century Catalan nobility are included in the Chronicle of Ramon Muntaner (dated to soon after 1328): a list of those present at the coronation of Alfonso IV King of Aragon in 1328, and a list of those who were subsequently made knights by the monarch[7]

 

Chapter 1 of this document sets out the references to the counts recorded in the March of Spain during the late 8th and 9th centuries.  As will be seen, it has not been possible to reconstruct the families of most these early counts.  However, some of their names suggest family connections with later counts in other Catalonian counties.  Other counts, isolated references to whose names are found recorded in Catalonia during the 9th century but whose subsequent careers can be traced in other parts of the Frankish empire, are shown in the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY.  Chapter 2 of the present document shows the families of the comtes and vescomtes de Barcelona.  Chapters 3 to 9 sets out the comtes, vescomtes and other notable noble families in the counties of Besalú, Cerdanya, Empúries, Girona, Roussillon (Rosellón), Tarragona and Urgell.  The final chapter 10 sets out some other non-comital noble families in Catalonia: Entenza, Lauria, Montcada, and Vilaragut. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    MARCH of SPAIN

 

 

This section first lists eight different counts, apparently unrelated, who were appointed to unidentified counties in the area of the March of Spain in the late 8th/early 9th centuries.  Little information is known of their family origins, or their descendants apart from the speculative descent of the later comtes de Barcelona from Comte Borrell who is named first below. 

 

1.         BORRELL (-after [809]).  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Burrello comitis" in a passage dealing with events in 798[8].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Isembardum, Hudemarum, Beram, Burellum" as those leading the campaign against Tortosa [in 809][9].  His name suggests a family connection with the later counts of Barcelona.  same person as…?  BORRELL .  It is not certain whether Borrell, father of Seniofredo, was the same person as Borrell who was named in 798 and [809], although the geographical proximity suggests that this co-identity may be correct.  m ---.  The name of Borrell´s wife is not known.  Borrell & his wife had one child: 

a)         SENIOFREDO (-killed in battle 849).  Emperor Louis I granted "villam…in pago Narbonensis…Fons-coopertus" to "fideli nostro Sunicfredo" by charter dated 829, which states that "Bosrello patri suo" had previously held the property[10]

-        COMTES de BARCELONA

 

2.         ZATO [Zaddo] (-after 801).  Muslim ruler of Barcelona.  The Annales Laurissenses Continuatio records that the city of Barcelona was delivered back by "Zatun præfectum ipsius" in 797[11].  Einhard names "Zatum Sarracenum" in 797[12].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Zaddo dux Barcinonsis" was persuaded to proceed to Narbonne in 801[13]

 

3.         AUREOL (-809).  Einhard records the death of "Aureolus comes" who resided "in commartio Hispaniæ trans Pirineam contra Oscam et Cæsaraugustam" in 809 and that "Amoroz præfectus Cæsaraugustæ atque Oscæ" invaded his territory[14]

 

4.         BERO, son of GUILLAUME Comte de [Toulouse] & his wife --- (-820 or after).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [813] under which "Bera…comes et uxor mea Romella comitissa" submitted the abbey of Alet, naming "genitore meo Guillelmo comite"[15].  Bero is named as son of Guillaume Comte de Toulouse, Marquis of Septimania (the founder of Gellone, see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY) in Europäische Stammtafeln[16].  However, Bero is not named in Guillaume's 804 charter and no indication has been found that this parentage is correct.  It is more likely that Bero was the son of Guillaume [I] Comte de Toulouse.  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Bera comite" was left in charge of territories conquered from the Saracens [in 801][17].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Isembardum, Hudemarum, Beram, Burellum" as those leading the campaign against Tortosa [in 809][18].  Einhard names "Bero comes" as one of the 15 witnesses of the testament of Emperor Charlemagne dated 811[19].  "Karolus…augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued a charter dated 2 Apr 812 to the counts in the Spanish march "Berane, Gauscelino, Gisclafredo, Odilone, Ermengario, Ademaro, Laibulfo et Erlino comitibus"[20]Comte de Barcelona.  "Bera…comes et uxor mea Romella comitissa" submitted the abbey of Alet, which they had founded, to Pope Leo III, by charter dated to [813] which names "genitore meo Guillelmo comite"[21].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Bera comes Barcinonensis" [in 819][22].  Einhard's Annales record a meeting at Aachen in 820 at which "Bera comes Barcinonæ" was defeated in horseback combat by those who had accused him of "fraudis et infidelitatis"[23].  The record does not specify whether Bero was killed at the time.  m ROMELLA, daughter of ---.  "Bera…comes et uxor mea Romella comitissa" submitted the abbey of Alet, which they had founded, to Pope Leo III, by charter dated to [813][24].  The fact that Romella´s grandson was named Aureol suggests that she may have been related to the count Aureol whose death is recorded in 809 (see above).  Bero & his wife had four children: 

a)         WILLEMUND (-after 827).  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Willemundus Beræ filius" as one of the conspirators with "Aizone" [in 827] when the Saracens recaptured territory[25].  Einhard's Annales record that "filius Berani…Willemundus…iunctique Sarracenis" surrendered to "Helisachar presbiterum et abbatum et…Hildebrandum atque Donatum comites", imperial missi to Spain in 827[26]

b)         ARGILA (-after 30 Jul 844).  "Argila…filius quondam Berani comiti" sold property "in suburbia Elenense in pago Russulionense" to "Berane filio meo" by charter dated 30 Jul 844[27]m ---.  The name of Argila´s wife is not known.  Argila & his wife had one child: 

i)          BERO (-after 24 Feb 846).  "Argila…filius quondam Berani comiti" sold property "in suburbia Elenense in pago Russulionense" to "Berane filio meo" by charter dated 30 Jul 844[28].  "Bera…comes" donated property to Exalade monastery in the county of Conflent by charter dated 24 Feb 846[29]

c)         MILO (-after 865).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 11 Jun 877 under which Emperor Charles II "le Chauve" granted property "res in Gotia" previously held by "Mirone infideli nostro filio Beram" to "Olibam comiti Carcasensi"[30].  “Karolus…rex” granted property “in pago Petræ-Petuzæ, villares…Bazinacum, et Palairaco, et Condarias, et Minerbules, seu Cubitano” to “Miloni fideli nostro” by charter dated 24 Dec 842[31].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "de comitibus Milo, Ratharius, Herlandus, Theutmarus, Weremboldus, Rocolfus, comes" witnessed the agreement dated 865 under which Lothaire II King of Lotharingia agreed to take back his wife Teutberga[32].  The circumstances and dating of Milo´s “infidelity”, referred to in the 11 Jun 877 charter quoted above, are not known. 

d)         ROTRUD (-after [845]).  “Hotrudis...filia condam Berani comitis et Romilæ” sold property “in territorio Elenense villa...Truliars...” to “Auriolo filio meo”, naming “vir meus condam Alaricus comes vel genitor tuus”, by charter 8 Nov “anno V regnante domno nostro Karulo Rege” [assuming to be Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks, therefore dated to 844/45][33].  A charter dated 18 Aug 868 records a judgment by "Salomonis comitis, Eldesindo vicecomite…" relating to donations by "Anna…[et] matre sua Rotrude…avio suo Berane comite" to Exala[34]m ALARIC, son of --- (-before 844).  Alaric & his wife had two children: 

i)          AUREOL (-after [845]).  “Hotrudis...filia condam Berani comitis et Romilæ” sold property “in territorio Elenense villa...Truliars...” to “Auriolo filio meo”, naming “vir meus condam Alaricus comes vel genitor tuus”, by charter 8 Nov “anno V regnante domno nostro Karulo Rege” [assuming to be Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks, therefore dated to 844/45][35]

ii)         ANNA (-after 22 Apr 876).  A charter dated 18 Aug 868 records a judgment by "Salomonis comitis, Eldesindo vicecomite…" relating to donations by "Anna…[et] matre sua Rotrude…avio suo Berane comite" to Exala[36].  "Anna…filia condam Alarici vel Rautrudes" donated land "in territorio Russulionense villa…Covengos" to "Radulfo et uxori tue Ridlinde" by charter dated 22 Apr 876[37].  Anna is a name which is untypical of the time. 

 

5.         ODILO, son of --- (-after 2 Apr 812).  "Karolus…augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued a charter dated 2 Apr 812 to the counts in the Spanish March "Berane, Gauscelino, Gisclafredo, Odilone, Ermengario, Ademaro, Laibulfo et Erlino comitibus"[38]

 

 

1.         SALAMON (-killed after 23 Apr 873).  Count in the March of Spain from before 864 to 873.  A charter dated 22 Mar 865, which records a judgment in the court of "Salamon comes in castrum Sancti Stephani" in favour of l'abbaye de la Grasse, recites prior donations by "Sunicfredo comiti…cum uxore Ermesinda"[39].  A charter dated 18 Aug 868 records a judgment by "Salomonis comitis, Eldesindo vicecomite…" relating to donations by "Anna…[et] matre sua Rotrude…avio suo Berane comite" to Exala[40].  A charter dated 23 Apr 873 records a judgment in favour of the abbey of Caunes by "Salamon misso, Irimberta…judices"[41]The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña records that "Iuffré Pellos" killed "Don Salamón…Conte de Barchinona, el qual era frances"[42]

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2.    BARCELONA

 

 

A.      COMTES de BARCELONA

 

References to named counts in Barcelona are recorded from 827, although it has not proved possible to establish a chronological list of succession of these counts until the installation of Guifré [I] "el Pilós/el Velloso/the Hairy" in 878.  Guifré´s descendants established themselves firmly as rulers of the county of Barcelona.  Guifré´s family extended its influence to the territory of most of the early Catalonian counties.  His father, Seniofredo, conquered Cerdanya and Urgell in the 830s, Guifré´s brother Miro is recorded as comte de Roussillon and also as comte de Besalú i Cerdanya, and Guifré himself was also recorded as count in Girona and Osona.  The descendants of Guifré continued to expand their territories, the most important gains being made in the 12th century.  Ramon Berenguer [III] Comte de Barcelona became Comte de Besalú following the death of his son-in-law in 1111, Comte de Provence by right of his third wife in 1113, conquered Mallorca from the Moors 1114-1115 (although he lost it shortly afterwards), and Comte de Cerdanya in 1117.  His son Ramon Berenguer [IV] established the federal state of Aragon/Catalonia when he married the Aragonese heiress Petronila, daughter of Ramiro II King of Aragon.  The descendants of this couple are shown in the document ARAGON KINGS. 

 

 

1.         BERNARD, son of GUILLAUME Comte de Toulouse, Marquis de Septimanie & his first wife Kunigunde --- ([795]-executed Toulouse Saint-Sernin [Jan/Jun] 844)Comte d'Autun until 830.  Marquis de Septimanie until 831.  He was installed as Comte de Barcelona in 827 or before: Einhard's Annales name "Bernhardus…Barcinonæ comes" in 827[43].  It is not certain whether this means that the "March of Spain" was at that time part of the marquisate of Septimania.  It is possible that Bernard was appointed to Barcelona after the disgrace of Bero in 820, but no primary source has been identified which confirms that this is correct.  The Gesta Francorum records that "Barnhardus comes Barcinonensis" was made camerarius in the palace in 829[44].  Nithard records that Emperor Louis I appointed "Bernard Duke of Septimania" as his chamberlain and entrusted his son Charles to him, but that he "recklessly abused the imperial power…and undermined it entirely" and was banished to Septimania in [Apr 830] by the emperor's sons who rebelled against their father[45].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "præfatus Bernardus" fled to Barcelona in 830[46].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Bernhardus" fled into exile in Spain and was deprived of his honours [in 831][47].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Werinus et Bernhardus comites" gathered a force in Burgundy and reached "Matronam fluvium" [in 834][48].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "Bernardus comes marcæ Hispanicæ" was sentenced to death in 844[49].  The Annales Xantenses record that "Bernhardus comes" was killed "a Karolo" in 844, after which "filio Bernhardi" and "Pippinus rex Aquitainiæ, filius Pippini" defeated the king's army[50].  The Gesta Francorum records that "Karolus" killed "Bernhardum Barcenonensium ducem" in 844 "incautem et nihil ab eo suspicantem"[51]

 

 

1.         ADELRAMN [I] [Aleran], son of --- (-[killed in battle 852])Missus dominicus in Nursia, Italy in 820.  Comte de Troyes.  "Comitis Aledramni" donated property for the foundation of the abbey of Montiéramey, recorded in the foundation charter dated 837[52].  It is possible that he was Comte de Barcelona from before 848, as suggested by the Annales Bertiniani which record that "Guilhelmus filius Bernardi" captured "Impurium et Barcinonam" in 848, and captured "Aledramnum et Isembardum comites" in the march of Spain in 850 but was himself captured and killed at Barcelona[53].  The Chronicon Fontanellensis records that "Wilhelmus filius Bernardi Ducis" captured Barcelona and expelled "Aledranno custode illius urbis et limitis Hispanici", dated to [849/50], in a later passage recording that "Wilhelmo invasore urbis Barcinonæ" captured "Isembardus filius Warini et Aledrannus" but that Guillaume was later defeated and killed by "factione Aledranni et quorundam Gothorum"[54].  He accompanied Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks at the siege of Toulouse in 849.  He was probably killed in a Muslim raid[55].  "Karolus…rex" named "Odo…comes [et] predecessoris sui Aledramni…comitis ex comitatu Tricasino" in a charter dated 25 Apr 854 or 855 relating to the abbey of Montiéramey[56].  Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks confirmed a donation of property "quod…Odo…comes…prædecessoris sui Aledranni quondam…comes…ex comitatu Tricassino" to "mon. Arremarensi", by charter dated 25 Apr 864[57]

 

 

SENIOFREDO, son of BORRELL & his wife --- (-killed in battle 849).  “Sunicfredus” donated property to the church of Urgell by charter dated 819[58].  Emperor Louis I granted "villam…in pago Narbonensis…Fons-coopertus" to "fideli nostro Sunicfredo" by charter dated 829, which states that "Bosrello patri suo" had previously held the property[59].  He established himself as count in the area known as the "March of Spain", south of the Pyrenees.  He apparently led a revolt of the indigenous [Visigothic] population against Bernard de Septimanie (father of Bernard "Plantevelue")[60].  He conquered Cerdanya and Urgell in the 830s, checking the Moorish expansion.  "Suniefredus" donated property to Urgell by charter dated 3 Jan 840[61]Marquis [of Septimania]: Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks confirmed rights of Spanish settlers in the diocesis of Béziers, after "Notoni archiepiscopo...et Elmerado...palatii nostri comiti, Suniefrido etiam marchioni et Suniario comiti" reported on the question, by charter dated 19 May 844[62].  It is supposed that Seniofredo´s marquisate was Septimania, but this cannot be confirmed beyond doubt.  There is no indication of the date of his appointment.  He was killed in a counter-attack by Guillaume, son of Bernard de Septimanie, in 849. 

m ERMESENDE, daughter of ---(-after 1 Dec 885).  A charter dated 22 Mar 865 which records a judgment in the court of "Salamon comes in castrum Sancti Stephani" in favour of the abbey of Lagrasse recites prior donations by "Sunicfredo comiti…cum uxore Ermesinda"[63].  "Ermessinda comitissa et Rodulfo comite et Mirone comite et Quixilo comitissa" made donations by charter dated 1 Dec 885[64], which is assumed to refer to Ermesende, widow of Sunifred, two of her children, and the wife of the second son, although this is not without doubt. 

Comte Seniofredo & his wife had [eight] children: 

1.         GUIFRÉ [Guifred/Wifredus] [I] "el Pilós/el Velloso/the Hairy" (-killed in battle near Santa María del Puch [21 Aug 897/31 Dec 898], probably 11 Aug 898, bur Santa María de Ripoll monastery).  "Sesenanda, Sunicfredus, Wifredus comes, Radulfus comes, Miro comes" donated property for the souls of "Sunicfredi genitoris nostri vel domnæ Ermesinde genititricis nostræ" to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated Apr or May [878][65].  He was confirmed by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks as Comte de Urgell, Cerdanya i Conflent in 870, and as Comte de Barcelona i Girona in 878.

a)         OLIBA (-after [24 Jun 915/920]).  "Radulfo comiti et uxore sue Ralindis" donated property in "comitatu Rosolionense" to the abbey of Lagrasse, reserving the usufruct to "filium meum Olibana", by charter dated to 898 or 903[70].  "Ridlindis et filius meus Oliba" confirmed the earlier donation to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated 24 Jun 915 or 920 which names "genitoris meo Rodulpho condam" (referring to Oliba)[71]

3.         MIRÓ (-after 892, maybe after 18 Feb 899).  "Sesenanda, Sunicfredus, Wifredus comes, Radulfus comes, Miro comes" donated property for the souls of "Sunicfredi genitoris nostri vel domnæ Ermesinde genititricis nostræ" to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated Apr or May [878][72].  His older brother associated him as Comte de Roussillon [Rosellón] et de Conflent.  A charter dated 23 Sep 873 records the foundation of the church of Notre-Dame de Formiguera by "comitibus…Vuifredo et fratre eius Mirone et comitibus Olibano et fratre eius Ayfredo"[73].  "Ermessinda comitissa et Rodulfo comite et Mirone comite et Quixilo comitissa" made donations by charter dated 1 Dec 885[74], which is assumed to refer to Ermesende, widow of Sunifred, two of her children, and the wife of the second son, although this is not without doubt.  Comte de Besalù e Cerdanya.  "El conde de Besalú y Cerdaña Mirón y el obispo de Urgell Riculfo", in their capacity as "albaceas [executors] de su hermano Seniofredo", donated "villa…in comitatu Cerdaniense, villa Etorras" to "Radulfo" by charter dated 892[75][A charter dated 18 Feb 899 confirms the possessions of "domna Hemmone habbatissa" in "comitatu Cerdaniensis in valle Petrariense in villa…Stegale", in the presence of "Mirone comite et judices Recosindo Bladino", the document specifying the exclusion of "ipsa hereditatem de Domna Windilde cometissa condam…in villa…Provenca…qui sunt de Recosindo"[76].  It is unclear whether "Mirone comite" in this document was the son of Seniofredo, or his nephew the son of Guifré [I].]

4.         SESENANDA .  "Sesenanda, Sunicfredus, Wifredus comes, Radulfus comes, Miro comes" donated property for the souls of "Sunicfredi genitoris nostri vel domnæ Ermesinde genititricis nostræ" to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated Apr or May [878][77].  It is suggested that the names "Sesenanda, Sunicfredus…" are placed first in the list of children because they held ecclesiastical office.  This is certainly the case with the son Seniofredo (see below) and no other explanation is forthcoming for the presence of the daughter Sesenanda at the head of the list. 

5.         SENIOFREDO (-before 26 Jun 885).  "Wifredus…comes et marchio et Winiedildes cometissa" donated "Castru Mochoronio cum ecclesias Sancta Maria et Sanctum Petrum et Sanctum Stephanum" to the monastery of "Sancti Johannis Babtiste…in comitatu Ausona in Valle Riopullo juxta flumen Tezer" [San Juan de las Abadesas], when "filiam nostram Emmone" became abbess, by charter dated 27 Jun 875, which names "fratre meo…Seniefredo clerico"[78].  "Sesenanda, Sunicfredus, Wifredus comes, Radulfus comes, Miro comes" donated property for the souls of "Sunicfredi genitoris nostri vel domnæ Ermesinde genititricis nostræ" to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated Apr or May [878][79].  Abbot at Arles.  “Wifredo...comes et marchio et Winedildis commetissa” donated “castro Mochoronio...et in valle Riopullo villare...Sendare...in valle Martini...qui mihi advenit...de fratri meo Soniefredo” to San Juan Bautista de Osona by charter dated 26 Jun 885[80]"El conde de Besalú y Cerdaña Mirón y el obispo de Urgell Riculfo", in their capacity as "albaceas [executors] de su hermano Seniofredo", donated "villa…in comitatu Cerdaniense, villa Etorras" to "Radulfo" by charter dated 892[81]A charter dated 5 Aug 899 records the donation of the church of San Martín "in valle Congusto" by "Suniefredus commes avunculus meus condam", and its consecration by "Emmo abbatissa"[82].

GUIFRÉ [Guifred/Wifredus] [I] "el Pilós/el Velloso/the Hairy" de Barcelona, son of SENIOFREDO Count in the March of Spain & his wife Ermesende --- (-killed in battle near Santa María del Puch [21 Aug 897/31 Dec 898], probably 11 Aug 898, bur Santa María de Ripoll monastery)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names "Guiffredus…cum filio suo Guiffredo qui cognomento est Pilosus"[84]The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña names "Guiffré que fue de la villa Darriá, sitiada en la tierra de Conflent cerca el río de Ter" when recording that he received "del Rey de Francia, el Condado de Barschinona", as well as "su fillo…Guiffré Pelloso" (stating that the latter was so-called "porque pellos hauía en lugars do homs nondan acostupnado de hauer")[85], although the Crónica is very confused in its narrative about the early rulers of Barcelona.  No other source has so far been found which identifies two separate counts named Guifré, father and son.  He was confirmed by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks as Comte de Urgell, Cerdanya and Conflent in 870, and as Comte de Barcelona and Girona in 878.  A charter dated 23 Sep 873 records the foundation of the church of Notre-Dame de Formiguera by "comitibus…Vuifredo et fratre eius Mirone et comitibus Olibano et fratre eius Ayfredo"[86].  "Wifredus…comes et marchio et Winiedildes cometissa" donated "Castru Mochoronio cum ecclesias Sancta Maria et Sanctum Petrum et Sanctum Stephanum" to the monastery of "Sancti Johannis Babtiste…in comitatu Ausona in Valle Riopullo juxta flumen Tezer" [San Juan de las Abadesas], when "filiam nostram Emmone" became abbess, by charter dated 27 Jun 875, which names "fratre meo…Seniefredo clerico"[87].  “Wifredo...comes et marchio et Winedildis commetissa” donated “castro Mochoronio...et in valle Riopullo villare...Sendare...in valle Martini...qui mihi advenit...de fratri meo Soniefredo” to San Juan Bautista de Osona, and “Winedildes commetissa” donated “in comitatu Impuritano villa...Chabannas de comparacionem de patre meo...Sonifredo”, by charter dated 26 Jun 885[88].  He encouraged colonisation in the unsettled frontier areas of Urgell and Cerdanya along the valley of the River Lord.  He restored the Bishopric of Vic in 887.  The death in 888 of Emperor Karl III marked a decline in Carolingian power and a trend towards independence of the Catalan counties.  This was helped by their geographical remoteness from the central Frankish authority, their own relative stability and the direct relations which they had established with the Papacy[89].  A charter dated 20 Apr 888 records that “Wifredus comes et Widinilles comitissa” dedicated Ripoll Santa Maria and donated “in alaudo...in comitatu Cerdania...villa...Loci...[que] nobis advenit ex comparatione de partibus Sesenando[90].  “Guifredus comes...et Winildis comitissa” donated property to Ripoll Santa Maria when “filium suum...Rodulfo” entered the monastery by charter dated 20 Apr 888[91].  “Wifredus...comes...et Widinildis comitissa” dedicated Ripoll Sant Pere by charter dated 25 Jun 890[92].  “Wifredus...comes et marchio et uxor mea Guinezelles” donated property “in villa Exaduce” to Ripoll Santa Maria by charter dated 31 Jul 890, subscribed by “...Willermus vicecomes[93].  A charter dated 21 Aug 897 names Wifredo and his wife Winidilda[94].  Guifré was killed resisting a Moorish incursion which reached Barcelona.  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña records that "Guiffré" (meaning Guifré the father, see above) was killed "cerca de la villa de Senyora Sancta Maria del Puch"[95].  A necrology of Ripoll Sant Joan monastery records the death "III Id Aug" of the founder of the monastery (who was Guifré) and his burial there[96].  On his death, his territories were divided between his sons. 

m (before 27 Jun 875) GUINIDILDA, daughter of SENIOFREDO & his wife --- (-[21 Aug 897/18 Feb 900]).  Wifredo "el Velloso" and his wife Winidilda donated property to Ripoll Sant Joan monastery by charter dated 27 Jun 875 which names "fratre meo…Seniofredo"[97].  Her parentage is confirmed by charters dated 875, 877 and 878 under which "Winidildes commitissa" donated property "in comitato Impuritano in villa…Kabannas omnem portionem mihi…de comparatione de cuondam patrem meum…Seniofredo" to Ripoll Sant Joan monastery[98].  The name of her father "Seniofredo" suggests that Guinidilda may have been a close relative of her husband, whose father had the same name.  [According to Weir[99], she was Gunhild, daughter of Baudouin I Count of Flanders.  It is assumed that this is based on the Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium which records that Charles II "le Chauve" King of the Franks gave a daughter of the Count of Flanders in marriage to "Pilosi" at the same time as granting him the county of Barcelona[100], although this source is unreliable in points of detail concerning the family of the early counts of Barcelona.  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña also records that "Iuffré Pellos" married "una filla del..Conte de Flandres"[101]Considering that the early counts of Flanders were in 877 still in the process of consolidating their newly founded county, it is not clear what contact they would have had with a count whose territory was so distant from their own sphere of activity, or the advantages they would have seen in such a dynastic marriage.  The only known point in common between the two counts appears to have been King Charles II "le Chauve" who was suzerain of both.  Gunhild is not shown among the children of Count Baudouin in Rösch[102].  In any event, this supposed Flemish origin is disproved by the charters quoted above.]  "Wifredus…comes et marchio et Winiedildes cometissa" donated "Castru Mochoronio cum ecclesias Sancta Maria et Sanctum Petrum et Sanctum Stephanum" to the monastery of "Sancti Johannis Babtiste…in comitatu Ausona in Valle Riopullo juxta flumen Tezer" [San Juan de las Abadesas], when "filiam nostram Emmone" became abbess, by charter dated 27 Jun 875, which names "fratre meo…Seniefredo clerico"[103].  “Wifredo...comes et marchio et Winedildis commetissa” donated “castro Mochoronio...et in valle Riopullo villare...Sendare...in valle Martini...qui mihi advenit...de fratri meo Soniefredo” to San Juan Bautista de Osona, and “Winedildes commetissa” donated “in comitatu Impuritano villa...Chabannas de comparacionem de patre meo...Sonifredo”, by charter dated 26 Jun 885[104].  A charter dated 20 Apr 888 records that “Wifredus comes et Widinilles comitissa” dedicated Ripoll Santa Maria and donated “in alaudo...in comitatu Cerdania...villa...Loci...[que] nobis advenit ex comparatione de partibus Sesenando[105].  “Guifredus comes...et Winildis comitissa” donated property to Ripoll Santa Maria when “filium suum...Rodulfo” entered the monastery by charter dated 20 Apr 888[106].  “Wifredus...comes...et Widinildis comitissa” dedicated Ripoll Sant Pere by charter dated 25 Jun 890[107].  “Wifredus...comes et marchio et uxor mea Guinezelles” donated property “in villa Exaduce” to Ripoll Santa Maria by charter dated 31 Jul 890, subscribed by “...Willermus vicecomes[108].  A charter dated 21 Aug 897 names Wifredo and his wife Winidilda[109].  She died before 18 Feb 899, the date of a charter which confirmed the possessions of "domna Hemmone habbatissa" in "comitatu Cerdaniensis in valle Petrariense in villa…Stegale", in the presence of "Mirone comite et judices…", the document specifying the exclusion of "ipsa hereditatem de Domna Windilde cometissa condam…in villa…Provenca…qui sunt de Recosindo"[110]

Guifré [I] & his wife had [ten] children: 

1.         EMMA [Emmone] (-942).  "Wifredus…comes et marchio et Winiedildes cometissa" donated "Castru Mochoronio cum ecclesias Sancta Maria et Sanctum Petrum et Sanctum Stephanum" to the monastery of "Sancti Johannis Babtiste…in comitatu Ausona in Valle Riopullo juxta flumen Tezer" [San Juan de las Abadesas], when "filiam nostram Emmone" became abbess, by charter dated 27 Jun 875, which names "fratre meo…Seniefredo clerico"[111].  Abbess of Ripoll Sant Joan.  A charter dated 18 Feb 899 confirmed the possessions of "domna Hemmone habbatissa" in "comitatu Cerdaniensis in valle Petrariense in villa…Stegale", in the presence of "Mirone comite et judices…", the document specifying the exclusion of "ipsa hereditatem de Domna Windilde cometissa condam…in villa…Provenca…qui sunt de Recosindo"[112].  A charter dated 5 Aug 899 records the donation of the church of San Martín "in valle Congusto" by "Suniefredus commes avunculus meus condam", and its consecration by "Emmo abbatissa"[113].  The testament of "Miro", dated 13 Jun 921, names "sorore mea Hemmoni abbatissa…sorore mea Ermesinda…"[114]

2.         RODOLFO (-940).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Radulfum, Guiffredum, Mironem et Suniarium" as the four sons of "Guiffredus Pilosus comes" & his wife, specifying that Rodolfo was "monachus Rivipolli et episcopus Urgellensis"[115].  “Guifredus comes...et Winildis comitissa” donated property to Ripoll Santa Maria when “filium suum...Rodulfo” entered the monastery by charter dated 20 Apr 888[116].  Bishop of Urgell, Abbot of Ripoll.  "Bonemirus et uxor mea Ermesinda" sold property to "Radulfo presbitero filio Wifredo comite" by charter dated 29 Aug 908[117].  [Anastasius presbiter” sold property “in comitatum Ausona in fines de kastro Lucano in locum...Torecella Bradilane” to “Rodulfo filio Wifredo comite” by charter dated 30 May 911[118].  A charter dated 16 Feb 913 records the sale of lands in “Armancias” to “Radulfo hijo del conde Wifredo[119].  If these two charters apply to Rodolfo, son of Guifré [I], it is surprising that he is not referred to as bishop.  Another possibility is that the documents refer to an otherwise unrecorded son of Guifré [II].] m ---.  The name of Rodolfo's wife is not known.  Rodolfo & his wife had two children: 

a)         OLIBA (-947).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 936 under which Bishop Rodolfo "y su hijo Oliva" sold the "alodio de Palau" to "conde Sunyer"[120]Suniarius comes et marchio” donated property “in comitatu Ausona in apendicio de castro Veltregano in loco...Palacio”, which “advenit mihi...ex comparacione...de fratri meo Radulfo qui fuit quondam vel de filio eius Oliba”, to Santa Maria de Ripoll, for the sins of “filio meo Ermengaudo defuncto”, by charter dated 6 Sep 943[121]The executors of Oliva donated property "Salellas…todo lo que tenía allí el difunto de su padre el Obispo Rodulfo" to Santa Maria de Ripoll monastery by charter dated 948[122]m EILO, daughter of --- (-after 955).  "Elo comitissa cum filia sua…Enchilia" donated property "in comitatu Ausona…castrum Lacesse", inherited from "pater suus Oliba condam et ei advenit per paterem suum Radulfo episcopo", to Ripoll Sant Joan, when her daughter entered the monastery, by charter dated 26 Sep 955[123].  Oliba & his wife had one child:

Guidfredi marchione beate memorie" donated property "in castro Cervilione territorio Barch…ultra fluvium Lubricatum" to the monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 12 Apr 904[129].  "Gotus et uxori mea Columba…" sold properties "in territorio de Puritano in terminio de Pinus" to "Wifredus commes et uxori sue Garesindes" by charter dated 20 Jul 905[130].  A charter dated 18 Nov 908 records the sale of "villa de Palacio" to "domno Wifredo comite hac marchio que vocant Borrello et uxori tue Gersinda"[131].  "Wifredus chomes et marchio" donated property "in comitatu Ausona" by charter dated 23 Dec 909[132].  “Idelxerus episcopus, Garsendis comitissa, Suniarius comes et marchio, Ermemirus vicecomes”, as executors of “Wifredo comite quondam filius fuit de Wifredo comite quondam”, executed the testament of the deceased by charter dated 1 Dec 911[133].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 912 of “Wifredi comitis bonæ memoriæ, ciujus pater quiescit in cenobio S.

a)         [RODOLFO (-after 16 Feb 913).  Anastasius presbiter” sold property “in comitatum Ausona in fines de kastro Lucano in locum...Torecella Bradilane” to “Rodulfo filio Wifredo comite” by charter dated 30 May 911[143].  A charter dated 16 Feb 913 records the sale of lands in “Armancias” to “Radulfo hijo del conde Wifredo[144].  If these two charters apply to Rodolfo, son of Guifré [I], it is surprising that he is not referred to as bishop.  Another possibility is that the documents refer to an otherwise unrecorded son of Guifré [II].]

a)         BORRELL de Urgell (-after 12 Jul 936).  A record of the possessions of Santa Maria de Ripoll, undated but dated to the 10th century, names "Miro comis Cerdaniensis, Soniarius comis Barchinonensis vel Ausonensis…Borrellus filius Suniefredo comis Urgillitanensis…et domna Emma abbatissa" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de Urgel by charter dated 12 Jul 936[157].  He presumably died before his father.

10.      [GUINIDILDA .  The name and origin of the wife of Raymond II Comte de Toulouse are not known.  "Vulveradus vicecomes…Widinildis comitissa, Richildis vicecomitissa…" signed the charter dated 28 Sep 926 under which "Teudericus et uxor mea…Sposia" donated property to Narbonne cathedral[162].  As Narbonne was under the suzerainty of the comtes de Toulouse, it is possible that "Widinildis comitissa" was the legal representative of the county at the time, widow of the former comte and acting in the capacity of guardian for her minor son.  She is shown as the possible daughter of Guifre [I] Comte de Barcelona in Europäische Stammtafeln[163].  As Guinidilda was also the name of the wife of Comte Guifré [I], a connection seems likely, although it is also possible that "Vuidinildis comitissa" belonged to the same family as Guinidilda senior.]    [m RAYMOND II Comte de Toulouse, son of ODON [Eudes] Comte de Toulouse & his wife Gersende d'Albi (-[923/924]).] 

 

 

SUNYER [I] de Barcelona, son of GUIFRÉ [I] "el Velloso/el Pilós/the Hairy" Comte de Barcelona & his wife Guinidilda --- (-15 Oct 954, bur Ripoll Monastery).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Radulfum, Guiffredum, Mironem et Suniarium" as the four sons of "Guiffredus Pilosus comes" & his wife, specifying that Sunyer succeeded his father "in comitatu Urgelli et fuit primus comes Urgelli"[164].  He succeeded his father jointly with his brother in 897 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona i Osona, and his brother in 911 as sole Comte de Barcelona, Girona i Osona.  “Idelxerus episcopus, Garsendis comitissa, Suniarius comes et marchio, Ermemirus vicecomes”, as executors of “Wifredo comite quondam filius fuit de Wifredo comite quondam”, executed the testament of the deceased by charter dated 1 Dec 911[165].  A charter dated 16 May 914 records the allegiance of the inhabitants of San Juan, Ogasa, Surroca and Caballera del valle de Ripoll to the abbess of Ripoll Sant Joan, in the presence of "Mirone et Suniario comites et marchiones, Ermemiro et Unifredo vicecomites"[166].  “Garsinde comitissa Suniarius comes et Ermemirus vicecomes”, as executors of “condam Guifredi comiti...Borelo”, donated “in comitatu Ausona in terminis de Felgeirolas et de villa Oligo” to Sant Joan de Ripoll by charter dated 9 Sep 916[167].  “Suniarius...comes et marchio et uxor mea Richildes” donated property to Sant Salvador de Ripoll, for the souls of “genitorum meorum condam Wifredi comiti et Widinildi simulque et fratre me condam Wifredi comiti atque sorori mee condam Richildi”, by charter dated 25 Mar 925[168].  “Suniarius…comes et Marchio” donated property to the church of Girona, for the souls of “patri meo Wifredi quondam, vel fratri meo Wifredi quondam…vel filio meo Borrello”, by charter dated 23 Nov 934[169].  Faced with Muslim attacks along the coast at Maresme and Empordà, comte Sunyer launched a counter-attack in 936 which was halted by Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Ilyas who led the siege of Zaragoza[170]Dompnus comes Suniarius et marchioni...vel eius...prolis dompnus Ermengaudus Ausonensis comes” dedicated the church of Santa Maria de Moià by charter dated 23 Aug 939[171]Caliph Abd Al-Rahman III made peace with comte Sunyer in 940.  Suniarius comes et marchio” donated property “in comitatu Ausona in apendicio de castro Veltregano in loco...Palacio”, which “advenit mihi...ex comparacione...de fratri meo Radulfo qui fuit quondam vel de filio eius Oliba”, to Santa Maria de Ripoll, for the sins of “filio meo Ermengaudo defuncto”, by charter dated 6 Sep 943[172]Soniarius comes ac marchio et uxor mea Richildis comitissa” donated donated property “in comitatu Gerundensi in appendicio sancti Martini in villare...Rivofredo” to the church of Girona, for the souls of “fratris mei quondam Borelli et filii mei quondam Ermengodi”, by charter dated 16 May 944, subscribed by “Audegarius vicecomes...[173].  “Suniarius comes ac marchius et uxor mea Richildes comitissa” donated donated property to the church of Barcelona, for the souls of “patri meo condam qui fuit Guifredi comitis et matri mea condam qui fuit Guidinillis comitissa et fratri meo qui fuit condam Borrello comites...et proles meos condam Ermengadus et Borrellus”, by charter dated 16 May 944[174].  "Suniarius comes et marchio" donated property "in comitatu Gerundensis in locum…villa Felgars" to Saint-Pierre de Rosas by charter dated 25 Jun 945[175].  "Suniarius comes et coniux mea Rechellis comitissa" donated property to the monastery of Santa Cecilia de Montserrat by charter dated 31 Jul 945[176].  He succeeded his brother Seniofredo in 948 as Comte de Urgell.  "Soniarius comes" donated property to the monastery of Grasse by charter dated 30 Jun 953, witnessed by "Isarni comitis…"[177].  The martirilogio of Vic records the death "Id Oct" of "Suniarius"[178].  The year of his death is narrowed to 954 given the charter dated 19 Feb 955 under which his son Comte Borrell granted property, acquired from "su difunto padre el conde Suniario", to his cousin Miró[179].  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium the death in 950 of "Sunyer" and his burial "in monasterio Rivipolli"[180]

m (917 or before) RICHILDE, daughter of --- (-after 954).  Bofarull states that she is named as wife of Sunyer in 917 in a donation to the monastery of San Cucufáte del Vallés by "los hermanos Ermenardo y Udalardo" but does not cite the precise reference[181].  “Suniarius...comes et marchio et uxor mea Richildes” donated property to Sant Salvador de Ripoll, for the souls of “genitorum meorum condam Wifredi comiti et Widinildi simulque et fratre me condam Wifredi comiti atque sorori mee condam Richildi”, by charter dated 25 Mar 925[182].  “Soniarius comes ac marchio et uxor mea Richildis comitissa” donated donated property “in comitatu Gerundensi in appendicio sancti Martini in villare...Rivofredo” to the church of Girona, for the souls of “fratris mei quondam Borelli et filii mei quondam Ermengodi”, by charter dated 16 May 944, subscribed by “Audegarius vicecomes...[183].  “Suniarius comes ac marchius et uxor mea Richildes comitissa” donated donated property to the church of Barcelona, for the souls of “patri meo condam qui fuit Guifredi comitis et matri mea condam qui fuit Guidinillis comitissa et fratri meo qui fuit condam Borrello comites...et proles meos condam Ermengadus et Borrellus”, by charter dated 16 May 944[184].  "Suniarius comes et coniux mea Rechellis comitissa" donated property to the monastery of Santa Cecilia de Montserrat by charter dated 31 Jul 945[185].  "Ricildis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse by charter dated 954 before 31 Aug subscribed by "Miro comes, Borellus comes"[186], the subscribers assumed to be her sons.  Szabolcs de Vajay suggests[187] that she was Richilde de Rouergue, daughter of Ermengaud de Toulouse Comte de Rouergue & his wife Adelais ---, to explain the transmission of the name Armengol [Ermengaud] into the Barcelona family. 

Sunyer [I] & his wife had five children:

1.         BORRELL [II] (-30 Sep 993)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Borellus, Ermengaudus et Miro" as the three sons of "Sunyer"[188].  His parentage, and the fact that he was probably his father´s oldest son, is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Nov 934 under which “Suniarius…comes et Marchio” donated property to the church of Girona, for the souls of “patri meo Wifredi quondam, vel fratri meo Wifredi quondam…vel filio meo Borrello[189].  He succeeded as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, Osona, i Urgell.

2.         ARMENGOL (-21 Aug [940/942]).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Borellus, Ermengaudus et Miro" as the three sons of "Sunyer"[190].  Comte de Osona: dompnus comes Suniarius et marchioni...vel eius...prolis dompnus Ermengaudus Ausonensis comes” dedicated the church of Santa Maria de Moià by charter dated 23 Aug 939[191]The necrologies of Vic, Girona and Ripoll record that "Ermengaudus comes filius Suniarii comitis" was killed "XI Kal Sep"[192]Suniarius comes et marchio” donated property “in comitatu Ausona in apendicio de castro Veltregano in loco...Palacio”, which “advenit mihi...ex comparacione...de fratri meo Radulfo qui fuit quondam vel de filio eius Oliba”, to Santa Maria de Ripoll, for the sins of “filio meo Ermengaudo defuncto”, by charter dated 6 Sep 943[193]Soniarius comes ac marchio et uxor mea Richildis comitissa” donated donated property “in comitatu Gerundensi in appendicio sancti Martini in villare...Rivofredo” to the church of Girona, for the souls of “fratris mei quondam Borelli et filii mei quondam Ermengodi”, by charter dated 16 May 944, subscribed by “Audegarius vicecomes...[194].  “Suniarius comes ac marchius et uxor mea Richildes comitissa” donated donated property to the church of Barcelona, for the souls of “patri meo condam qui fuit Guifredi comitis et matri mea condam qui fuit Guidinillis comitissa et fratri meo qui fuit condam Borrello comites...et proles meos condam Ermengadus et Borrellus”, by charter dated 16 May 944[195]

3.         MIRÓ (-31 Oct 966).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Borellus, Ermengaudus et Miro" as the three sons of "Sunyer"[196].  "Ricildis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse by charter dated 954 before 31 Aug subscribed by "Miro comes, Borellus comes"[197], the subscribers assumed to be her sons.  The name order of the subscriptions in this document suggests that Miró was older than his brother Borrell, but this appears to be contradicted by the charter of their father dated 23 Nov 934 which only names Borrell (see above).  The document dated 26 Nov 966 signed by "Borrellus…comes et marchio, Petrus Barchinonensis episcopus…et Guitardus vicecomes" as "tutores vel elemosinarii" of "condam Mirone comite"[198] shows Borrell with the full comital title in comparison with the limited title of Miró.  At first sight, this suggests that Borrell must have been the older son.  However, the reference to "tutores", a term not used in any of the other testamentary documents in the compilation, suggests a guardianship element in the relations between the executors and the deceased.  It is possible, therefore, that Miró was the older son but was in some way incapacitated and therefore excluded from the full succession to his father.  This document also serves to identify Miró's date of death.  "Mirone comes et marchio" donated property to the monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 16 Mar 955[199].  "Borrellum et Mironem uterque fratres et marchiones comites" donated property to Monserrat, as requested by "condam Richilli comitissa" in her testament, by charter dated 27 Dec 956[200].  “Miro comes et marchio” sold “castrum...Camba...in comitatu Barcinonense in locum...Ollesa” to “Digfredo” by charter dated 18 Dec 963[201].  “Miro Comes” donated “alodem meum qui mihi advenit per donationem Seniofredi Comitis fratris mei…in comitatu Bisellunensi in villa…Parietes” to the church of Girona by charter dated 2 Feb 968[202].  "Borrellus…comes et marchio" exchanged property with "uxori mee Ermerud comitissa" by charter dated 5 Sep 988 which names "fratri meo Mironi comiti…condam"[203]m ---.  The name of Miró's wife is not known.  Miró & his wife had three children: 

a)         RAMON (-after 24 Sep 993).  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Ermengaudo comite et Raimundo comite nepoti meo, cum fratres suos Borello comite et Suneario comite" to "comitatu Orgullense"[204].  The term "nepos" in this document can only mean "nephew" as neither of the testator's sons was old enough at that date to have had three sons himself.  The testator's brother Miró is the only known possible father of these brothers.  No reference to them has been found in any other document, but their mention as part heirs in the will of Comte Borrell [II] suggests a recognition of their possibly superior claim to share in the family estates, maybe corroborating the hypothesis that their father was older than his brother Borrell.  The absence of further reference to joint counts of Urgell suggests that all three brothers died soon after the date of this testament, probably without male issue. 

b)         BORRELL (-after 24 Sep 993).  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Ermengaudo comite et Raimundo comite nepoti meo, cum fratres suos Borello comite et Suneario comite" to "comitatu Orgullense"[205]

c)         SUNYER (-after 24 Sep 993).  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Ermengaudo comite et Raimundo comite nepoti meo, cum fratres suos Borello comite et Suneario comite" to "comitatu Orgullense"[206]

4.         ADELAIDA [Bonafilia] (-[after 11 Mar 988]).  "Adalaiz comitissa que vocant Bona filia, filiam Suniarium comitem et Richildis chomitissam" donated "in comitato Berchitano…Castrum Spugnola" to Ripoll Sant Joan, for the souls of "patri meo Suniario comite et matri mee Richildes chometissa", by charter dated 24 Jun "anno XV regnante Ludevico rege filius Karlonis regis" (incorrectly dated to 907 in the collection, 951 if the reign of King Louis IV is dated from 936)[207].  The title "comitissa" attributed to her in this document suggests that Adelaida was married to, or was widow of, a "comes" at the date of the document.  Bofarull suggests that she was the wife of her paternal uncle Seniofredo Comte de Urgell[208], but this appears to be based on nothing more than the fact that the two individuals bore the same name (which was not an uncommon one at the time).  A charter dated 16 Aug 950 records the election of "Adalaizam" as abbess of Ripoll Sant Joan in the presence of "Borrellus…comes"[209], although the document does not specify that the new abbess was Borrell´s sister.  "Adaleziba sive Bonafilia" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de las Puellas de Barcelona by charter dated 11 Mar 988, which specifies that she was abbess[210].  The similarity of the name suggests that this was the same person as the daughter of Comte Sunyer.  [m ---- Comte de --- (-before 16 Aug 950).] 

5.         JOZFREDO (-after 25 Mar 988).  Borellus…comes et marchio…filios meos Raymundo et Ermengode” ordered the security of “castro…Cardona”, constructed by “avus meus Wifredus comes et marchio”, by charter dated 9 Apr 986, subscribed by “Geribertus vicecomes…Gocefridus frater Borelli comes[211]Ermemirus vicecomes...cum comilitonibus suis...Iozfredus frater Borrello comes” donated property to Santa Maria de Serrateix “in II anno ordinacionis sue, quam odinatus fuit a dompno Borrello comite vicecomitem Cardone” by charter dated 25 Mar 988, subscribed by “...Guillelmus viscechomes qui fuit filius Raimundi Fulchonis, Geralda uxoris sua[212]

 

 

BORRELL [II] de Barcelona, son of SUNYER [I] Comte de Barcelona & his wife Richilde --- (-30 Sep 993).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Borellus, Ermengaudus et Miro" as the three sons of "Sunyer", specifying that "Borrellus filius Suniarii comitis Urgelli" succeeded his cousin "Seniofredus" in Barcelona[213].  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Nov 934 under which “Suniarius…comes et Marchio” donated property to the church of Girona, for the souls of “patri meo Wifredi quondam, vel fratri meo Wifredi quondam…vel filio meo Borrello[214].  “Suniarius comes ac marchius et uxor mea Richildes comitissa” donated donated property to the church of Barcelona, for the souls of “patri meo condam qui fuit Guifredi comitis et matri mea condam qui fuit Guidinillis comitissa et fratri meo qui fuit condam Borrello comites...et proles meos condam Ermengadus et Borrellus”, by charter dated 16 May 944[215].  He succeeded his father in 950 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, Osona, i Urgell.  "Borrellus comes" donated property "in comitatu Ausona in…Tolosa", inherited from "genitori meo Suniario", to Ripoll Sant Joan by charter dated 19 Feb 955[216].  "Ricildis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse by charter dated 954 before 31 Aug subscribed by "Miro comes, Borellus comes"[217], the subscribers assumed to be her sons.  "Borrellum et Mironem uterque fratres et marchiones comites" donated property to Monserrat, as requested by "condam Richilli comitissa" in her testament, by charter dated 27 Dec 956[218].  He formed an alliance with Fernando González Conde de Castilla and García III Sánchez King of Navarre against Caliph Al-Hakam II.  The alliance was, however, unsuccessful and comte Borrell was defeated by the governor of Zaragoza in 965[219].  “Borrellus...comes et marchio et coniux nostra Ledgardis comitissa” sold “ecclesia de sancti Stephani...in puig de Granolers” to “Assolf” by charter dated 25 Jun 972 “in anno primo quo natus est filius eius Raimundus[220].  "Borrellus…comes et marchio cum coniuge Leudgardis chomitissa" sold the castle of Queralt to "Witardo vicecomite" by charter dated 15 Jul 976[221].  "Borrellus…chomes et marchio" sold property to "Unicfredo que vocant Amado" by charter dated 11 Jun 977, subscribed by "Ledgardis comitissa, Ansulfo, Vuitardus vicescomes…"[222].  "Borrellus…comis et marchio" sold property "in comitatum Orgillitense in villa Cuilare seu Montan-Goncello" to "Reisendo et uxori tue" to the abbey of Gerri by charter dated 24 May 979[223].  He concluded a treaty with the caliph, marking the end of Catalonia's historic dependence on the Frankish kingdom[224], although the treaty was broken by al-Mansur who captured Barcelona in 985[225].  “Borellus…comes et marchio…filios meos Raymundo et Ermengode” ordered the security of “castro…Cardona”, constructed by “avus meus Wifredus comes et marchio”, by charter dated 9 Apr 986, subscribed by “Geribertus vicecomes…Gocefridus frater Borelli comes[226].  "Borrello…Hibereo duci atque marchiso" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 10 Mar 988, subscribed by "Eimerud…comitissa, Miro, Raimundus comes, Ermengaudis…Suniarius comes…"[227].  "Borrellus…comes et marchio" exchanged property with "uxori mee Ermerud comitissa" which she held "in comitatu Urgellense" by charter dated 5 Sep 988 which names "fratri meo Mironi comiti…condam" and is subscribed by "Raimundus comes filio Borrello comitis"[228].  "Borrellus comes et marchio" sold property "in comitatu Urgellitano in valle Castro Leoni" to "Gillelmo vicecomite et uxori tue Sancia" by charter dated 8 Oct 988[229].  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 provides for the disposition of his titles between his successors, as shown below[230].  The Annales Barcinonenses record the death in 993 of "Borrelli comes Barchinonensis"[231]

m firstly (968 or before) LEDGARDE, daughter of --- ([950/53]-after 16 Apr 980).  “Borrellus comes et marchio” donated property to the monastery of San Saturnino de Urgell, for the souls of "…uxoris meæ Letgarda vel prolis meæ, que de me et illa procreata est, et…fratris mei Mironis comitis atque marchionis", by charter dated 6 Jun 964[232].  Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that she was 15 years old or younger at the time of her marriage, but old enough to have given birth to her first child before the date of this charter.  Bofarull records a suggestion by Marca that Ledgarde was the daughter of "Ramon Pons y Garsinda condes de Auvernia"[233].  It is chronological impossible for Ledgarde to have been the daughter of Raymond Pons Comte de Toulouse et d´Auvergne whose children must have been born in the range [920/30].  If Ledgarde did belong to the Toulouse family, she must have been Ledgarde, daughter of Raymond III Comte de Toulouse & his wife [Gundinildis ---], whose children would have been born in the range [940/60].  “Borrellus...comes et marchio et coniux nostra Ledgardis comitissa” sold “ecclesia de sancti Stephani...in puig de Granolers” to “Assolf” by charter dated 25 Jun 972 “in anno primo quo natus est filius eius Raimundus[234].  “Borrellus comes et marchio seu Guiffredus consanguineus meus” donated “in loco...castrum Lordano vel in civitate Ysauna...ecclesias” to the church of Urgell by charter dated 30 Jul 973[235].  "Borrellus…comes et marchio cum coniuge Leudgardis chomitissa" sold the castle of Queralt to "Witardo vicecomite" by charter dated 15 Jul 976[236].  "Borrellus…chomes et marchio" sold property to "Unicfredo que vocant Amado" by charter dated 11 Jun 977, subscribed by "Ledgardis comitissa, Ansulfo, Vuitardus vicescomes…"[237].  "Borrellus comes et marchio et uxori mee Ledegards" donated property "in comitatu Ausona" to Vic by charter dated 16 Apr 980[238]

m secondly (before 10 Mar 988) as her second husband, AIMERUDIS, widow of ---, daughter of --- (-after 992).  "Borrello…Hibereo duci atque marchiso" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 10 Mar 988, subscribed by "Eimerud…comitissa, Miro, Raimundus comes, Ermengaudis…Suniarius comes…"[239].  "Borrellus…comes et marchio" exchanged property with "uxori mee Ermerud comitissa" which she held "in comitatu Urgellense" by charter dated 5 Sep 988 which names "fratri meo Mironi comiti…condam" and is subscribed by "Raimundus comes filio Borrello comitis"[240].  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 names "uxore mea Aimerudis" and also "Aldria filia tua" when addressing his wife, which provides confirmation of her first marriage[241].  The identity of her first husband is not known. 

Borrell [II] & his first wife had five children: 

1.         daughter (before 6 Jun 969-).  “Borrellus comes et marchio” donated property to the monastery of San Saturnino de Urgell, for the souls of "…uxoris meæ Letgarda vel prolis meæ, que de me et illa procreata est, et…fratris mei Mironis comitis atque marchionis", by charter dated 6 Jun 964[242].  It is not known whether this daughter was the same as one of the other daughters of Borrell named below. 

2.         RAMON BORRELL [I] ([971/26 May 972]-25 Feb 1017).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Raimundum Borrelli et Ermengaudum" as the two sons of "Borrellus comes"[243].  The Annales Barcinonenses name "Raimundus Barchinonensis comes, filius Borelli comitis" when recording his death[244].  His birth date is estimated from the charter dated 25 Jun 972, under which “Borrellus...comes et marchio et coniux nostra Ledgardis comitissa” sold “ecclesia de sancti Stephani...in puig de Granolers” to “Assolf”, the dating clause of which states “in anno primo quo natus est filius eius Raimundus[245].  “Borellus…comes et marchio…filios meos Raymundo et Ermengode” ordered the security of “castro…Cardona”, constructed by “avus meus Wifredus comes et marchio”, by charter dated 9 Apr 986, subscribed by “Geribertus vicecomes…Gocefridus frater Borelli comes[246].  "Borrellus…comes et marchio" exchanged property with "uxori mee Ermerud comitissa" which she held "in comitatu Urgellense" by charter dated 5 Sep 988 subscribed by "Raimundus comes filio Borrello comitis"[247].  He succeeded his father in 992 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Raimundo comite" to "comitatu Gerundense…[et] comitatu Barchinonense"[248].  He reversed the advances of al-Mansur and Abd-el-Malik, culminating in an attack on Córdoba 1010.  “Raimundo…comiti et conjugi…Ermesendi” bought property from Petro Rogerio Bishop of Girona by charter dated 20 Nov 1015, subscribed by “Berengarius comes[249].  The necrology of Girona records the death “IV Kal Mar…1016” (presumably O.S.) of “Raymundus comes[250].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 1017 of “Raymundus comes Barch.[251]m ([990/91]) ERMESINDE de Carcassonne, daughter of ROGER [I] de Comminges Comte de Carcassonne & his wife Adelais de Rouergue (-1 Mar 1058).  "Remundus comes et marchio, Ermensides comitissa" donated property to Saint-Victor, Marseille by charter dated 11 Jun 996[252].  Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 2 Sep 1019 which names “Raymondus…comes Borreli comitis proles” and by which “Ermisindi…coniux eius comitissa, filia…comitis Carcasonensis Rodegarii” records her husband´s burial “infra canonicalem claustram S. Crucis sedis” and confirms a donation by “femina…Bellazez uxor quæ fuit Sesemundi fratris Seniofredi Gerundensis vicecomitis”, with the consent of “filio suo domno Barengario marchione comite…Amato vicecomite Gerundense…[253].  “Raimundo…comiti et conjugi…Ermesendi” bought property from Petro Rogerio Bishop of Girona by charter dated 20 Nov 1015, subscribed by “Berengarius comes[254]Ermesendis...comitissa simulque Berengarius prolis mei...comes ac marchio” donated “collo...de...Presa” to Sant Daniel de Girona, in accordance with the wishes of “viro meo domno Raimundo comite bona memoria”, by charter dated 16 Mar 1018[255].  "Ermessindis comitissa et Amato de castro Surice et Sunifredo de Riorubio, Gondebaldus de Besora, Lobeto de Celra" signed a document dated 12 Nov 1018 as executors of "condam Remundo comite et marchio"[256].  Regent during the minority of her son until early 1020s.  She acquired considerable power during her regency, quarrelling with her son.  She continued to be a disruptive influence in Catalonia until her death[257].  The testament of "Ermesindis comitissa", dated 25 Sep 1057, names "domnum Raymundum Berengarium comitem nepotem meum…domna Almodis comitissa coniuge vestra"[258].  The codicil of "domna Ermesindis comitissa", dated 6 Mar 1057 (O.S.), names "Guillermo Berengarii suo nepoti…Sancio suo nepoti…Bernardo Berengarii suo nepoti"[259].  Ramon Borrell [I] & his wife had [four] children: 

a)         BERENGUER RAMON ([1000/05]-26 May 1035, bur Santa Maria de Ripoll).  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña names "Berenguer" as the son of "Remon Burrel conte de Barchinona"[260].  He succeeded his father in 1017 as BERENGUER RAMON I "el Curvo" Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.

b)         [--- de Barcelona (-killed in battle [1017/27]).  Adémar de Chabannes records that Roger [I] de Tosny lost his brother-in-law with whom he was fighting the Moors, but does not identify him by name[261].  Whether he was the son of Ramon Borrell depends on the correct identity of Roger´s wife, the question of whose parentage is discussed below.] 

c)         [--- de Barcelona .  The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes (written before [1034]) records that "Normanni, duce Rotgerio" (presumably identifiable as Roger [I] de Tosny, although he never bore the ducal or even comital title), who had been fighting Saracens in Spain, asked "comitissa Barzelonensi Ermensende…vidua" for the hand of her (unnamed) daughter[262].  This episode is dated to [1017/20], when Ermesinde was acting for her son Berenguer Ramon I “el Curvo” Comte de Barcelona during his minority.  In addition, the other events recorded by Adémar in the same paragraph, all relate to 1016/18.  Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Adelaida (Papia)”[263].  No primary source has been identified which confirms that either of these names is correct.  The early 12th century Chronicon S Petri Vivi Senonensi records, in a section headed 1015 but whose coverage extends into later years, that "Rotgerius filius Rodulfi comitis" left Normandy with an army for Spain (“de Normannia perrexit cum exercitu in Hispaniam”) where he married “sororem Raymundi Berengerii [Ramon Berenger [I] “el Viejo” Comte de Barcelona] Stephaniam” and lived there “cum uxore et exercitu suo per 15 annos” before returning “ad patrem suum in Normanniam” (having left “20 viris et uxore et omnibus quæ possidebant” in Spain) to make peace “cum duce Richardo[264].  The early 12th century Chronicon S Petri Vivi Senonensi records that “sororem Raymundi Berengerii Stephaniam” married as her second husband “rex Hispaniæ Garsias[265].  Based on this source, Jaime de Salazar Acha suggests that the widow of Roger [I] de Tosny was Estefanía who married García V King of Navarre[266].  There are several reasons why this suggestion is unlikely to be correct.  Firstly, Roger [I]’s marriage is dated to [1017/20] according to Adémar de Chabannes as noted above.  If that date is correct, it is unlikely that his widow would have given birth to nine children by a second marriage, whose births are estimated between 1039 and 1054 (see the document NAVARRE KINGS).  Secondly, Estefanía is named with her husband King García in a charter dated 1040, her marriage probably being dated to a couple of years earlier, whereas Roger [I] is recorded in Normandy around the same time.  Thirdly, there are intrinsic problems associated with the Chronicon S. Petri Vivi Senonensis: the chronology of the whole passage, of which the reference to Roger’s marriage forms part, is flawed as explained in NORMANDY NOBILITY, and in addition Roger’s wife could not have been the sister of Ramon Berenguer [I] Comte de Barcelona (whose birth is dated to 1023, see below) if his marriage is correctly dated to [1017/20].  m ([1017/20]) as his first wife, ROGER [I] de Tosny, son of RAOUL [II] de Tosny & his wife --- ([990]-killed in battle [before 17 Jun] [1040]).] 

d)         [--- .  m ---.]  One child: 

i)          ADELAIDA (-after 12 May 1078).  Her parentage is suggested by the charter dated 10 Apr 1078 under which "Remundus Berengarius et Berengarius Remundus…Barchinonensium comites atque marchiones" granted property "intra muros Barchinone urbis" to "Adaledi femine consubrine nostre"[267].  It is unlikely that Adelaida was related to the two brother comtes de Barcelona through their mother Sancha de Castilla.  It is possible that she was the child of an otherwise unknown child of Comte Ramon Borrell [I], although as can be seen above no definite information is known about his other possible children.  Alternatively Adelaida could have been a more remote descendant, possibly granddaughter, of one of the brothers or sisters of Comte Ramon Borrell.  She was the same person as "Adaledis femina" who sold property "intra muros Barchinone urbis" to "Remundo Dalmatii levite" by charter dated 12 May 1078, as the description of the two properties appears to be the same[268]

3.         ARMENGOL [I] "él de Córdoba" ([973/77]-1 Sep 1010, bur Ripoll)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Raimundum Borrelli et Ermengaudum" as the two sons of "Borrellus comes"[269].  He succeeded his father in 992 as Comte de Urgell.  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Ermengaudo comite et Raimundo comite nepoti meo, cum fratres suos Borello comite et Suneario comite" to "comitatu Orgullense"[270]

-        COMTES de URGELL

4.         ERMENGARDE (-after 10 Oct 1029)"Geiriberto filio condam Witardo et uxori mea Ermengards" exchanged property with "Geiriberto filio condam Gotmar et uxori tua Aigo" by charter dated 26 Jun 997[271].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.   A charter dated 19 Dec 1015 relating to a sale of property names "Ermengardis filia condam Borrelli comitis" and "Geriberto" but does not expressly make the connection between the two[272].  "Geriberto filio condam Guitardo et uxori mea Ermengarda" exchanged property with "Geriberto filio condam Gotmar et uxor tua Aigo" by charter dated 26 Jun 1019[273].  The testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029, appoints "…soror mea Richel…" as one of her helemosinarii, bequeathes "Subiratis…castel" to "Mir filio meo" on condition he donates it to "sua nepota filia de Reimundo", donates property "pro anima de viro meo domnus Geribertus", bequeathes property to "Guillelm filio de Mir…Fulcus filio…nepta mea filia de Reimundo…Seniol per dominicatione de filia mea Guilla…Adalet filia de Mir"[274]m GERIBERT, son of GUITARD Vescomte de Barcelona & his wife --- (-before 1014).

5.         RIQUILDA (-after 1041).  "El vizconde Odolardo y la vizcondesa Richilde su muger" donated property to Montserrat by charter dated 5 Mar 999[275]"Odalardus…vicecomitis" granted property to "uxori mee Richilde vicecomitissa" by charter dated 5 Feb 1006[276].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified, although it is hinted at by the testament of her sister "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029, which appoints "…soror mea Richel…" as one of her helemosinarii[277].  It is also hinted at by the charter dated 26 May 1058 under which "Udalardus Bernardi…vicecomes" reached agreement with "domno Remudo comiti et domnæ Almodi comitissæ", the document naming "Remundi Borrelli comitis et avi iam dicti Udalardi" (although he was great-grandfather, not grandfather, of Vescomte Udalard [II][278].  "Richildis…vicecomitissa" granted property to "filio meo…Guisliberto episcopo" by charter dated 6 Mar 1041[279].  "Richillis vicecomitissa" sold property to "Bonifilius levita et fratri tuo Bonutius, prolis condam Vives" by charter dated 1 Mar 1041[280].  "Richildis…vicecomitissa" granted property to "filio meo…Guisliberto episcopo" by charter dated 6 Mar 1041[281].  "Domina vicecomitissa Rachelis cum filiis nostris…domnus Guisliberto pontifex et Iohannes de Mont [Serrad]" donated property by charter dated 20 May 1041[282]m UDALARD [I] Vescomte de Barcelona, son of GUITARD Vescomte de Barcelona & his wife --- (-after 30 May 1030). 

 

 

BERENGUER RAMON [I] "el Curvo" de Barcelona, son of RAMON BORRELL [I] Comte de Barcelona & his wife Ermesinde de Carcassonne ([1000/05]-26 May 1035, bur Santa Maria de Ripoll).  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña names "Berenguer" as the son of "Remon Burrel conte de Barchinona"[283]His birth date is estimated from the Crónica de San Juan de la Peña which records that "Berenguer" died aged 40[284], but this may be exaggerated considering the date of his first betrothal and the fact that his mother continued to exercise her regency until the early 1020s.  He succeeded his father in 1017 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.  Ermesendis...comitissa simulque Berengarius prolis mei...comes ac marchio” donated “collo...de...Presa” to Sant Daniel de Girona, in accordance with the wishes of “viro meo domno Raimundo comite bona memoria”, by charter dated 16 Mar 1018[285].  The growth in power of feudal lords, and the consequent breakdown in central authority, led to a reaction to restore public order centred around the Truce of God (1027, 1033) inaugurated by the bishops of Elne and Vic[286].  “Berengarius…Marchio Comes…cum uxore mea Guillia comitissa” donated property to Barcelona Santa Eulalia by charter dated to [1028][287].   The Annales Barcinonenses record the death in 1035 of "Berengarius comes Barchinonensis"[288].  The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names his wife, his mother and three sons[289].  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña records the death in 1034 of "Berenguer" aged 40[290]

m firstly (betrothed 1016, Zaragoza 1021[291]) SANCHA Sánchez de Castilla, daughter of SANCHO [I] García Conde de Castilla & his wife Urraca Salvadórez ([1006/07]-26 June 1026, bur Santa Maria de Ripoll).  She is named "Sancha daughter of the deceased Conde Sancho", assumed to be Sancho García Conde de Castilla, in her husband's 1025 charter[292].  Bofarull suggests that Sancha was the daughter of Sancho Duke of Gascony[293].  However, if this is correct, it is unclear why her husband would not have claimed the disputed succession to the duchy of Gascony, in her name, after the death of Duke Sancho in 1032. 

m secondly ([1027]) as her first husband, GUISLA, daughter of --- (-after 1079).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[294], she was Guisla de Lluça, daughter of Sunifred [II] Señor de Lluça i Villanova & his wife Ermesenda de Balsareny.  On the other hand Kerrebrouck states that the "third" wife of Berenguer Ramon [I] was "Guisle de Ampurias"[295].  The primary sources which corroborate these hypotheses have not yet been identified.  “Berengarius…Marchio Comes…cum uxore mea Guillia comitissa” donated property to Barcelona Santa Eulalia by charter dated to [1028][296].   The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.   The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names "uxorem meam Guiliam comitissam" and leaves the county of Osona to her, while she remains unmarried, and their son "Guilelmo"[297].  She married secondly Udalard [II] Vescomte de Barcelona.  Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter of her son Guillem, dated 1054, in which he names himself "filius…Guislæ feminæ…comitissa…nunc est vice comitissa propter maritum quem habuit post patris mei"[298]

Berenguer Ramon [I] & his first wife had two children:

1.         RAMON BERENGUER [I] "el Viejo" de Barcelona (1023-26 May 1076)The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names "filium meum maiorem…Reimundus"[299].  He succeeded his father in 1035 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.

2.         SANCHO BERENGUER (-after 6 Mar 1058).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium name "Raimundum Berengarii, et Gillelmum Berengarii et Sancium Berengarii" as children of "Berengarius", stating that "Sancius Berengarii" was "Monachus Tomeriensis et Prior S. Benedicti de Bagis" where he died[300].  The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names "…filium meum Sancium…"[301].  Comte de Olerdota 1035/49.  He renounced his rights at Penedes in 1050[302], and became a monk at Saint-Pons de Thomières.  The codicil of "domna Ermesindis comitissa", dated 6 Mar 1057 (O.S.), names "Guillermo Berengarii suo nepoti…Sancio suo nepoti…Bernardo Berengarii suo nepoti"[303]

Berenguer Ramon [I] & his second wife had [three] children:

3.         GUILLEM RAMON ([1029/31]-after 6 Mar 1058).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium name "Raimundum Berengarii, et Gillelmum Berengarii et Sancium Berengarii" as children of "Berengarius", stating that "Guillelmus Berengarii" was "Comes Minorisæ" and died childless[304].  The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names "…Guiliam comitissam…cum filio meo et suo Guilelmo…"[305].  Comte de Osona.  The codicil of "domna Ermesindis comitissa", dated 6 Mar 1057 (O.S.), names "Guillermo Berengarii suo nepoti…Sancio suo nepoti…Bernardo Berengarii suo nepoti"[306]

4.         [BERNAT BERENGUER ([1035]-after 6 Mar 1058).  The codicil of "domna Ermesindis comitissa", dated 6 Mar 1057 (O.S.), names "Guillermo Berengarii suo nepoti…Sancio suo nepoti…Bernardo Berengarii suo nepoti"[307]It is puzzling that Bernat Berenguer was not named in his father´s testament, if he was indeed the son of Comte Berenguer Ramon.  One possibility is that he was born posthumously, or at least after the date of the testament.  Another possibility is that he was not the son of Comte Berenguer Ramon but the son of an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Ermesinde.] 

5.         [--- de Barcelona (-6 Jul 1074 or after, bur Besançon, Saint-Etienne).  The parentage of the wife of Henri de Bourgogne has not been identified with certainty.  Abbé Maurice Chaume[308] suggested that she was a relative of Ramon Borrell [I] Comte de Barcelona, pointing out the use of the name "Borell" by her son and grandson Eudes I Duke of Burgundy and Hugues II Duke of Burgundy.  Szabolcs de Vajay[309]  proposed more specifically that she was the daughter of Berenguer Ramon [I] Comte de Barcelona & his second wife, and that she married while her husband and his father were in Barcelona on crusade in Spain.  There appears to be nothing to support the suggestion that her first name was Sibylla.  Jean Richard suggested that the wife of Henri de Bourgogne may have been named Clémence, a name used by her descendants, and that she may have originated from Poitiers[310].  There does not appear to be any proof to support any of these theories.  m ([1056]) HENRI de Bourgogne, son of ROBERT I "le Vieux" Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his first wife Hélie de Semur ([1035]-27 Jan [1070/74]).] 

 

 

RAMON BERENGUER [I] "el Viejo" de Barcelona, son of BERENGUER RAMON "el Curvo" Comte de Barcelona & his first wife Sancha Sánchez de Castilla (1023-26 May 1076)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium name "Raimundum Berengarii, et Gillelmum Berengarii et Sancium Berengarii" as children of "Berengarius"[311].  The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names "filium meum maiorem…Reimundus"[312].  He succeeded his father in 1035 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.  The revolt of Mir Geribert (who styled himself "prince of Olèrdola") in 1040 was not finally suppressed until 1059[313].  During this period, Comte Ramon Berenguer [I] had to deal with many other challenges to his authority, including from Ramon Guifré Comte de Cerdanya against whom he launched a military expedition in 1044[314].  Ramon Berenguer [I] eventually succeeded in restoring political order, in part through a systematic process of purchasing castles from local lords and returning them as feudal concessions.  In consolidating his power progressively by securing alliances with local magnates, he effectively established a new feudal order with himself at the pinnacle.  A charter dated 1050 records that "Raymundum comitem Barchinonensem et Elisabet comitssa" promised the town of Tarragona "cum ipso comitatu Terraconensis" to "Berengarium vicecomitem Narbone", naming also "Ricardus vicecomes de Amilau", although it appears that this was never implemented[315].  "Raimundum Berengarium comitem Barchinonensium et Adalmus cometissa et filios nostros Raimundum et Berengarium et Arnaldum Petri" donated property to the monastery Barberà by charter dated 25 Mar 1054 (although the document must be misdated considering the date of the donor´s third marriage)[316].  He imposed the Peace and Truce by territorial statute in 1064, reformed outdated Visigothic laws and renewed pressure on the Taifa lords of Lérida, Tortosa and Zaragoza for payment of tribute.  Having re-established his position in Catalonia, Ramon Berenguer switched his attention to pursing an expansionist policy in Languedoc and Roussillon, acquiring suzerainty over Carcassonne and Razès.  "Raimundus comes et uxor mea Almodis" donated "ecclesias sancte Marie vel sancti Honorati" [in Barcelona?] to Lérins by charter dated 2 Jan 1068, signed by "Petri filii eius, Raimundi filii eius, Berengarii filii eius, Agnelus filius eius…"[317].  The Annales Barcinonenses record the death in 1076 of "Raimundus Berengarius comes Barchinonensis"[318].  The publication of the testament of "comitis Barchinone…Raimundi Berengarii" dated 12 Nov 1076 names "duobus filiis suis…Raimundo Berengarii et Berengario Raimundi…filiam suam Sanciam", and includes a residuary provision that in case of the death of these three, his counties would revert to "filium Guigonis de Albion quem habuit de filia sua Agnes"[319].  The necrology of Girona records the death “VIII Kal Jun…1076” of “domnus Remundus Berengarii comes Barchionensis et Marchio[320]

m firstly (St Cucuphat, Barcelona 14 Nov 1039) ISABELLE, daughter of --- & his wife Ermengarde --- ([1020/28]-29 Jun 1050).  A charter dated 14 Nov 1039 records the marriage of Ramon Berenguer and "Elisabet…comitissa" at "ecclesia beati Cucuphati"[321].  Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that she was an adolescent at the time of the marriage, but bearing in mind that she bore two children before 1045.  The name of her father is not known, although she is named as daughter of "Ermengardis femina" in several charters[322].  Bofarell highlights Raymond Bernard "Trencavel" Vicomte d´Albi et de Nîmes and a local Catalan noble "Guillelmo Bernardo de Odena" as possible fathers, both of whose wives were named Ermengarde[323].  In the case of the former, the chronology of the family of the Vicomtes d´Albi et de Nîmes appears incompatible with the birth date estimated for Isabelle as shown above.  "Raimundus Berengarii…comes et marchisus…cum coniuge mea…Helisabeth" donated property "in comitatu Barchinonense, in Vallense…Riels [et] Fallo" to Saint-Victor, Marseille by charter dated 25 Apr 1031[324], although this date is presumably incorrect considering the probable birth date of Ramon Berenguer I shown above.  She was known as ELISABET in Catalonia.  A charter dated 1050 records that "Raymundum comitem Barchinonensem et Elisabet comitssa" promised the town of Tarragona "cum ipso comitatu Terraconensis" to "Berengarium vicecomitem Narbone"[325].  The necrology of Santa Maria de Ripoll records the death "III Kal Jul" of "Elisabeth comitissa"[326].  Ramon Berenguer donated property to Santa Maria de Ripoll, for the soul of "uxoris mee quondam Elisabeth comitissæ", by charter dated 28 Sep 1050[327]

m secondly (before 26 Mar 1051, repudiated 1052) BLANCA, daughter of --- (-after 12 Nov 1076).  Comte Ramon Berenguer "et Bancha comitissa uxor eius" granted property to a vassal by charter dated 26 Mar 1051[328].  She is also named in a charter dated 1056 under which Comtesa Ermesindis undertook, on behalf of Comte Ramon Berenguer and his wife Almodis, to obtain the lifting of the excommunication which Pope Victor II had pronounced "pro Blancha femina contra...predictum comitem et…comitessam Almodem"[329].  The testament of Comte Ramon Berenguer refers to, but does not name, a wife to whom the testator bequeathed "quatuor milia mancusos"[330].  It is unlikely that this bequest relates to a fourth wife, otherwise unrecorded, as presumably a surviving wife would have been named in the document.  It therefore appears probable that the bequest was intended for Blanca who was still alive when the testament was written.  Bofarull suggests that the testament should be interpreted as indicating that Ramon Berenguer married Blanca for a second time before he died[331], but the problem of the absence of her name from the document remains. 

m thirdly (1053 after 29 Jun) as her third husband, ALMODIS de la Marche, repudiated wife (firstly) of HUGUES V "le Pieux" Seigneur de Lusignan, and (secondly) of PONS Comte de Toulouse, daughter of BERNARD Comte de la Marche et de Périgord & his wife Amelia --- (-murdered 16 Oct 1071).  The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the marriage of "Almodim…sororem Audeberti comitis de Marcha" and "Pontius comes Tolosanus", specifying that she was previously the wife of "Hugo Pius de Liziniaco" from whom she was separated for consanguinity and that afterwards she married "Raimundo Barcinonensi"[332].  Her mother´s name is confirmed by the charter dated to [1053] under which "Guilabertus episcopus filius qui fui Richeldis femine" swore allegiance to "Almodis comitissa, filia que es Amelie comitisse", also naming "Remundus comes, senior meus, filio qui fuit Sanciæ comitisse"[333].  "Poncius Tolosanus urbis comes" recorded the union of the abbey of Moissac with the abbey of Cluny, with the advice of "uxoris meæ Adalmodis comitissæ", by charter dated 29 Jun 1053[334].  "Raimundum Berengarium comitem Barchinonensium et Adalmus cometissa et filios nostros Raimundum et Berengarium et Arnaldum Petri" donated property to the monastery of Barberà by charter dated 25 Mar 1054 (although the document must be misdated considering the date of the donor´s third marriage)[335].  "Raimundus comes et uxor mea Almodis" donated "ecclesias sancte Marie vel sancti Honorati" [in Barcelona?] to Lérins by charter dated 2 Jan 1068, signed by "Petri filii eius, Raimundi filii eius, Berengarii filii eius, Agnelus filius eius…"[336].  The necrology of San Cucufate records the death 17 Nov of "la condesa doña Almodis"[337].  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "Petrus Raimundi" murdered his stepmother "Adalmoyn"[338].  Pope Gregory VII (elected 22 Apr 1073) sent a decree of penitence (undated) to "Petro Raimundi…pro interfectione Adalmodis eius…noverce"[339]

Ramon Berenguer [I] & his first wife had three children:

1.         BERENGUER ([1040/44]-before 28 May 1045).  A charter of his parents dated 28 May 1045, relating to the restoration of the hospital at Barcelona, names their deceased "filiorum nostrorum…Berengarii et Annalli"[340]

2.         ARNAU ([1041/45]-before 28 May 1045).  A charter of his parents dated 28 May 1045, relating to the restoration of the hospital at Barcelona, names their deceased "filiorum nostrorum…Berengarii et Annalli"[341]

3.         PERE RAMON ([1040/50]-[22 Apr 1073/May 1076]).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Petrum…Raimundi et Berengarium Raimundi et Raimundum Berengarii" as the sons of "Raimundus Berengarii", recording that "Petrus Raimundi" murdered his stepmother "Adalmoyn" and was exiled "in Hispania" where he died childless[342].  "Raimundus comes et uxor mea Almodis" donated "ecclesias sancte Marie vel sancti Honorati" [in Barcelona?] to Lérins by charter dated 2 Jan 1068, signed by "Petri filii eius, Raimundi filii eius, Berengarii filii eius, Agnelus filius eius…"[343].  Pope Gregory VII (elected 22 Apr 1073) sent a decree of penitence (undated) to "Petro Raimundi…pro interfectione Adalmodis eius…noverce"[344]

4.         RAMON BERENGUER [II] "Cabeza de Estopa/Cap d'Estopes" ([1054]-murdered Perxa de Astor, near Girona 6 Dec 1082, bur Girona)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Petrum…Raimundi et Berengarium Raimundi et Raimundum Berengarii" as the sons of "Raimundus Berengarii"[345].  The Inquisitio circa comitatum Carcassonæ names "Raimundo-Berengarii…Cap-de-Stopes" as older of the two sons of "Raimundus-Berengarii Vetus", specifying that he was killed "in festo S Nicolai" after the birth of his own son[346].  "Raimundum Berengarium comitem Barchinonensium et Adalmus cometissa et filios nostros Raimundum et Berengarium et Arnaldum Petri" donated property to the monastery Barberà by charter dated 25 Mar 1054 (although the document must be misdated considering the date of the donor´s third marriage)[347].  The tight chronology of Ramon Berenguer´s third marriage and the naming of his sons in charters suggests that the two older sons may have been twins.  However, no primary source has yet been identified which confirms that this is correct.  A simpler explanation of the timing difficulties is that the 1053 and 1054 charters were misdated.  "Raimundus comes et uxor mea Almodis" donated "ecclesias sancte Marie vel sancti Honorati" [in Barcelona?] to Lérins by charter dated 2 Jan 1068, signed by "Petri filii eius, Raimundi filii eius, Berengarii filii eius, Agnelus filius eius…"[348].  The publication of the testament of "comitis Barchinone…Raimundi Berengarii" dated 12 Nov 1076 names "duobus filiis suis…Raimundo Berengarii et Berengario Raimundi…"[349].  He succeeded his father in 1076 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona, jointly with his brother Berenguer Ramon II.  The contacts with Norman Sicily established by Ramon Berenguer´s marriage marked the start of the commercial expansion of Barcelona and the growth of Catalan influence throughout the Mediterranean.  "Sancius…rex Aragonensium" granted privileges to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by charter dated 4 Sep 1082, the dating clause of which refers to "…Raimundo Beringerii et Beringerii Raimundi fratribus comitibus in Barcelona"[350].  His brother comte Berenguer Ramon II quarrelled with him, calling for a division of their territories, and murdered Ramon Berenguer.  The Annales Barcinonenses record that "Raimundus comes Barchinonensis" was killed in 1082[351].  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña records the death in 1082 of "Remon Berenguer Cap" aged 25 and his burial "en la Seu de Girona"[352].  A document prepared during the reign of Alfonso II King of Aragon, relating to rights in the county of Carcassonne, records that Ramon Berenguer was killed "in festo Sancti Nicolai" after the birth of his son[353].  The necrology of Ripoll records that "Raymundus Berengarius Barchinonensis comes et marchio" was killed 5 Dec "in colle de Astor per fratrem suum"[354]m (1078) as her first husband, MATHILDE di Apulia, daughter of ROBERT "Guiscard" Duke of Apulia and Calabria & his second wife Sichelgaita di Salerno ([1059]-after 6 Jun 1112, bur Girona).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium record that "Raimundus-Berengarii filius [Raimundi-Berengarii]" married "filiam…Rotberti Guiscardi Ducis Apuliæ et Messinæ"[355].  Mathilde was the oldest daughter of Robert "Guiscard" according to William of Apulia[356].  The Alexeiad records that Robert "Guiscard" betrothed "one daughter to Raymond, son of the Count Barcinon" but does not name her[357].  Her parentage is confirmed by the Vita Sancti Ollegarii which names her son “Raymundum comitem Barchinonensem filium filiæ Roberti Guisardi principis Apuliæ[358].   She was known as MAHALTA in Catalonia.  Ramon and his wife "Maheltis" donated property to a vassal by undated charter[359].  She was strongly supported by Guillem Ramon Seneschal of Catalonia and his brothers after her first husband's murder.  She married secondly ([1085/87]) Amaury [I] Vicomte de Narbonne, her second marriage being deduced from the testament of her son by her first marriage "Raimundus Berengarii…Barchinonensis comes et marchio", dated [8 Jul] 1130, which appoints "Aimericum fratrem meum" as one of the testator's manumissores[360].  "Aimericus…vicecomes Narbone…et uxor mea Mealtis…et filiorum eius" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martial on leaving for the Holy Land, by charter dated [1100/01][361]Pontich records the burial of "la Comptesa muller del compte D. Ramon Berenguer" in "la Sta Iglesia de Gerona…casi devant la de son marit"[362]Ramon Berenguer and his mother Mahalta issued a charter dated 6 Jun 1112[363].  Ramon Berenguer [II] & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         [ALMODIS (-1140).  Almodis is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[364] as the daughter of Ramon Berenguer [II], but the primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.   She is not mentioned as his daughter by Bofarull.  It is possible that the connection is speculative based only her being named after her supposed paternal grandmother.  However, this cannot be considered conclusive as other local families used the same name at the time, as shown by Comte Ramon Berenguer [III]´s second wife also being named Almodis.  If Almodis, wife of Bernat Amat Vescomte de Cardona, was the daughter of Ramon Berenguer, she would have been a young child at the time of her marriage.  "Fulcho archilevita et vicecomes sive Ermessindis vicecomitissa et…Bernardus vicecomes et Almodis vicecomitissa" donated property by charter dated 26 Dec 1087[365].  "Raimundis…Ausonensis ecclesie" confirmed the donation by "B. A. …vicecomes Cardonensis…cum uxore mea Adalmudis et liberis G atque P" of property to Cluny dated 10 Nov 1113, subscribed by "…Guillelmi, Raimundi Fulconis…"[366].  "Bernardus vicecomes et Almodis vicecomitissa" donated property by charter dated 30 Apr 1126, subscribed by "Raimundi Fulchonis"[367]m (before 26 Dec 1087) BERNAT AMAT Vescomte de Cardona, son of DEODAT de Claramunt & his wife Ermesinda de Cardona (-after 27 Oct 1135).] 

b)         RAMON BERENGUER [III] "el Grande" (11 Nov 1082-19 Jul 1131, bur Ripoll Monastery)The Inquisitio circa comitatum Carcassonæ names "Raimundus-Berengarii" as the son of "Raimundo-Berengarii…Cap-de-Stopes", specifying that he was born "in festo S Martini"[368].  He succeeded his uncle in [1097] as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.

5.         BERENGUER RAMON [II] ([1054]-20 Jun, 1097 or after).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names (in order) "Petrum…Raimundi et Berengarium Raimundi et Raimundum Berengarii" as the sons of "Raimundus Berengarii"[369].  "Raimundum Berengarium comitem Barchinonensium et Adalmus cometissa et filios nostros Raimundum et Berengarium et Arnaldum Petri" donated property to the monastery Barberà by charter dated 25 Mar 1054 (although the document must be misdated considering the date of the donor´s third marriage)[370].  The tight chronology of Ramon Berenguer´s third marriage and the naming of his sons in charters suggests that the two older sons may have been twins.  However, no primary source has yet been identified which confirms that this is correct.  A simpler explanation of the timing difficulties is that the 1053 and 1054 charters were misdated.  "Raimundus comes et uxor mea Almodis" donated "ecclesias sancte Marie vel sancti Honorati" [in Barcelona?] to Lérins by charter dated 2 Jan 1068, signed by "Petri filii eius, Raimundi filii eius, Berengarii filii eius, Agnelus filius eius…"[371].  The publication of the testament of "comitis Barchinone…Raimundi Berengarii" dated 12 Nov 1076 names "duobus filiis suis…Raimundo Berengarii et Berengario Raimundi…"[372].  He succeeded his father in 1076 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona, jointly with his brother Ramon Berenguer [II].  "Sancius…rex Aragonensium" granted privileges to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by charter dated 4 Sep 1082, the dating clause of which refers to "…Raimundo Beringerii et Beringerii Raimundi fratribus comitibus in Barcelona"[373].  He quarrelled with his brother, calling for a division of their father's inheritance.  He was widely believed to have murdered his brother, but was unable to consolidate his political power in the face of strong opposition from Guillem Ramon Seneschal of Catalonia and his brothers, and Guillem Comte de Cerdanya.  Under a compromise reached in 1086, Berenguer Ramon was named guardian of his minor nephew for the next 11 years.  Berenguer Ramon restored "el alodio de Tossa" to Santa Maria de Ripoll by charter dated 28 Jun 1096[374].  He was found guilty of fratricide after a trial by battle at the court of Alfonso VI King of Castile in the winter 1096/97[375].  The necrology of Ripoll records that "Berengarius comes" died "in Jerosol." 20 Jun[376]

8.         SANCHA (-after 13 Apr 1102)The publication of the testament of "comitis Barchinone…Raimundi Berengarii" dated 12 Nov 1076 names "duobus filiis suis…Raimundo Berengarii et Berengario Raimundi…filiam suam Sanciam" (the last named specified as unmarried)[381].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[382], Sancha de Barcelona was the second wife of Comte Guillem.  This appears chronologically difficult to sustain, and is disproved by the charter dated 1087 by which "Guillemus…Cerdaniensis comes" donated property to the monastery of Ripoll, subscribed by "Sancia comitissa"[383].  She is not named in her husband´s 7 Oct 1095 testament.  The testament of “Guillelmus Iordani...comes”, dated 13 Apr 1102, made bequests to “matri meæ Sanciæ comitissæ...[384]m (after 12 Nov 1076) as his third wife, GUILLEM RAMON Comte de Cerdanya i Berga, son of RAMON GUIFRÉ [I] Comte de Cerdanya i Berga & his wife Adelaida --- (-1095, after 7 Oct). 

 

 

RAMON BERENGUER [III] "el Grande" de Barcelona, son of RAMON BERENGUER [II] "Cap d'Estopes" Comte de Barcelona & his wife Mathilde di Apulia (11 Nov 1082-19 Jul 1131, bur Ripoll Monastery).  The Inquisitio circa comitatum Carcassonæ names "Raimundus-Berengarii" as the son of "Raimundo-Berengarii…Cap-de-Stopes", specifying that he was born "in festo S Martini"[385].  He succeeded his uncle in [1097] as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona.  “Raymundus Berengarii Barchinonensis comes et marchio” donated property to the bishopric of Barcelona by charter dated 26 Jan 1108[386].   Ramon Berenguer and his mother Mahalta issued a charter dated 6 Jun 1112[387].  He continued his predecessors' policy of territorial expansion, becoming Comte de Besalú following the death of his son-in-law in 1111, Comte de Provence by right of his third wife in 1113, conquering Mallorca from the Moors 1114-1115 (although he lost the latter shortly afterwards), and Comte de Cerdanya in 1117.  Bernard Atton [IV] d'Albi Vicomte de Carcassonne swore homage to him in 1112.  “Raymundus Berengarii…comes Barchinonæ” donated “monasterium…sancti Petri de Gallicant” in Girona to “monasterio Crassensi”, on the advice of “Geraldi Pontii vicecomitis Gerundensis…”, by charter dated 20 Jan 1117, subscribed by “Raimundi comitis Barchinonensis, Raimundi Berengerii, Berengerii et Bernardi filiorum eius, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius…[388].  The restoration of Tarragona began in 1118, the Pope designating Oleguer Bishop of Barcelona as archbishop of Tarragona.  Ramon Berenguer [III] signed a treaty of partition with the comte de Toulouse in 1125 concerning the territories in France.  He supervised the formulation of the feudal code which later became known as the Usatges, the first full compilation of feudal law in any west European state[389].  During his reign, the county of Barcelona became a papal fief[390].  The testament of "Raimundus Berengarii…Barchinonensis comes et marchio" dated [8 Jul] 1130 names "Aimericum fratrem meum" as one of his manumissores and names "Raimundo Berengarii filio meo…et filie mee ipsa de Castella et illa de Fuxo"[391].  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records the death of "Raimundi-Berengarii comitis" in 1131 and his burial at "Rivipullense…Monasterium"[392]

m firstly (before 1103) [as her second husband,] MARÍA [Sol] Rodríguez, [widow of Infante don PEDRO de Aragón y Navarra,] daughter of RODRIGO Díaz de Vivar "el Cid Campeador" & his wife Jimena Díaz (-[4 Aug 1104/before 1 Nov 1106]).  The "Corónicas" Navarras name "dona Cristiana…dona Maria" as the two daughters of "este meo Çid" and his wife, stating that María married "el conte de Barçalona"[393].  The primary source which confirms her supposed first marriage has not yet been identified, but the date of death of her supposed first husband appears incompatible with the date of the first charter in which she appears with her [second] husband.  Unless further primary source information comes to light, María´s supposed first marriage should be treated with caution.  Ramon Berenguer and his wife Maria granted property to a vassal by charter dated 1103[394].  Ramon Berenguer and his wife Maria donated property to the church of San Adrian "inmediata al rio Besós" by charter dated 4 Aug 1104[395]

m secondly (before 1 Nov 1106) ALMODIS, daughter of --- (-[23 Nov 1111/3 Feb 1112]).  "Raymundus comes Barchinonensis" donated all that he had captured at Balagario to "uxori mea Almodis et filiis quos de ea habuero" by charter dated 1 Nov 1106[396].  Her parentage is not known.  A charter dated 26 Sep 1110 records that Ramon Berenguer was still childless by his marriage at that date[397].  "Raimundis Berengarii…marchio Barchionensium, princeps Ausonensium, comes vero Gerundensium atque Bisullunensium" donated property "ecclesiam Sancte Marie intra muros Bisullunensis" to Valence Saint-Rufus by charter dated 23 Nov 1111, signed by "Raimundi comitis, Meltis comitisse"[398]

m thirdly (3 Feb 1112) DULCE [Dolça] [I] Ctss de Provence Vicomtesse de Milhaud, de Gevaudan, et de Rodez, daughter of GIRBERT de Gévaudan Vicomte de Milhaud & his wife Gerberge Ctss de Provence ([1095/1100]-[28 Nov 1127/1130]).  The Brevi Historia Comitum Provinciæ records that "Gilberto comite Provinciæ" left his widow "Tiburgia…comitissa" and "Dulcia unica filia" and notes the latter's marriage to "Raymundus-Berengarii vulgo Cap-De stoupes…dictus, Comes Barcinonæ in Catalonia"[399].  Her parentage is confirmed by the Vita Sancti Ollegarii which names “Raymundum comitem Barchinonensem filium filiæ Roberti Guisardi principis Apuliæ” and “Dulcia comitissa Provinciæ uxor comitis[400].   “Girberga comitissa” donated “comitatum...Provinciæ et Gavaldanensis et Carladensis et...honorem...in comitatu Rutenensi”, which came to her “voce parentum meorum et largitione viri mei Girberti comitis patris tui”, to “Dulciæ filiæ meæ” by charter dated 1 Feb 1112[401].  “Gerberga comitissa Arelatensis” granted “filiam meam in conjugium...Dulcem” to “Raymundo Berengarii comiti”, together with “omni honore meo et cum...honore qui fuit Girberti comitis patris puellæ”, by charter dated 3 Feb 1112[402].  “Dulcia Barchinonensis et Provinciæ comitissa” granted “totum meum honorem quem habeo vel habere debeo per paternam sive maternam hereditatem vel alio modo in Provincia et in Rutenensi comitatu” to “comiti Raymundo” by charter dated Jan 1113[403].  "Raymondi comes Barchinonensis, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius, Raimundi et Berengarii filiorum suorum…" subscribed the charter dated [4/12] Feb 1114 under which "Bernardus Wilelmi…comes Ceritaniensis" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse[404].  “Raymundus Berengarii…comes Barchinonæ” donated “monasterium…sancti Petri de Gallicant” in Girona to “monasterio Crassensi” by charter dated 20 Jan 1117, subscribed by “Raimundi comitis Barchinonensis, Raimundi Berengerii, Berengerii et Bernardi filiorum eius, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius…[405].  "Dultie comitisse" signed a charter of "domni Raimundi…comitis et marchionis Burchinone et Provintie" dated 7 Mar 1125[406].  Comte Ramon Bergenguer [III] and his wife Dulce signed a commercial agreement with the Genoese dated 28 Nov 1127[407]

Comte Ramon Berenguer [III] & his first wife had one child:

1.         --- de Barcelona ([1105/06]-[before 1112]).  The marriage contract of "Raymundus...Barchinonensis comes et marchio...filiam meam prolem Mariæ Ruderici" and “Bernarde Bisuldunensis comes” is dated 1 Oct 1107 and provides “Ausonensem comitatum” as dowry[408].  Secondary sources usually show this daughter as having married Roger [III] Comte de Foix as her second husband.  For the reasons explained below, it is more likely that Comte Roger´s wife was a different daughter, born from her father´s third marriage.  Bofarull suggests that this unnamed daughter must have predeceased her husband, which justified her father taking the county of Besalú on the death of Comte Bernat [III][409]m (contract 1 Oct 1107) BERNAT [III] Comte de Besalú i Ripoll, son of GUILLÉM [II] "Trunus" Comte de Besalú i Ripoll & his wife Etiennette de Provence (-[1111/12]).

5.         BERENGUELA de Barcelona ([1116]-Palencia 15/31 Jan 1149, bur Santiago de Compostela, Cathedral Santiago el Mayor)The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records the marriage of "Alfonso…king of León" and "the daughter of Ramón Conde de Barcelona…Berengaria" in 1128 at Saldaña[418].  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium record the marriage of "Raimundi-Berengarii comitis…filiam" and "Ildefonso Toletano Imperatori"[419].  The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Berengariam atque Richam" as the wives of "Aldefonsi Hispaniarum Regis"[420].  The testament of "Raimundus Berengarii…Barchinonensis comes et marchio" dated [8 Jul] 1130 names "Raimundo Berengarii filio meo…et filie mee ipsa de Castella et illa de Fuxo"[421]m (Saldaña Nov 1128) as his first wife, ALFONSO VII "el Emperador" King of Castile and León, son of RAIMOND de Bourgogne [Comté] Comte d’Amous Conde de Galicia & his wife Urraca Queen of Castile and León ([Grajal], Galicia 1 Mar 1105-Fresneda 21 Aug 1157, bur Toledo, Cathedral of Santa María).

6.         JIMENA de Barcelona ([1117/18]-after 1136).  The testament of "Raimundus Berengarii…Barchinonensis comes et marchio" dated [8 Jul] 1130 names "Raimundo Berengarii filio meo…et filie mee ipsa de Castella et illa de Fuxo"[422].  Her name is more recognisably reproduced in the charter dated Nov 1149 of her son "Roggerus-Bernardi comes Fuxensis, filius Roggerii et Xaminiæ"[423].  In most secondary sources, Jimena is shown as the daughter of her father´s first marriage and widow of Bernat [III] Conde de BesalúHowever, no primary source has yet been identified which confirms that this is correct and several reasons point to it being unlikely.  Firstly, if Jimena had been the widow of the last comte de Besalú, her second husband would presumably have had the right to claim the county in her name, and there appears to be no indication that he ever did this.  Secondly, the testament of her father names "filie mee…illa de Fuxo" after his daughter "ipsa de Castella".  This would normally indicate that the former was younger than the latter.  The only possible reason for reversing the order of his daughters would have been the supposed precedence of the queen of Castile over the comtesse de Foix.  However, no other example of this adjustment to the order of names in primary source documents has been found, except those justified by the supposed precedence of children holding ecclesiastical office over lay children.  Thirdly, Jimena would have named her daughter after her own mother.  Fourthly, the dates of marriage of Jimena´s two known children, in the 1150s, suggest that they were born in the 1130s, which is not inconsistent with Jimena having been born from her father´s third marriage.  This appears to be corroborated by the charter dated 26 Oct 1136 by which “Rogerius comes Fuxensis [et] Essena coniux ipsius” founded the commanderie of Ville-Dieu which refers to "infantes nostros"[424].  The date of the marriage of Comte Roger´s daughter Bradimène is inconsistent with this hypothesis, unless she was born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage, or was illegitimate, as is proposed in the document TOULOUSE NOBILITY.  The only factor which appears to indicate the co-identity of the two daughters is that Jimena could have been named after her maternal grandmother, mother of her father´s first wife.  However, the name was not uncommon in Spain at the time, and it is quite possible that Jimena was named after another relative.  Until further primary source data emerges which contradicts this hypothesis, it has been decided to show Jimena has her father´s daughter by his third marriage in this document.  m (before [8 Jul] 1130) ROGER [III] Comte de Foix, son of ROGER [II] Comte de Foix & his second wife Estefanía de Besalú (-[1147/48]).

9.         ALMODIS de Barcelona ([1126]-after 14 Mar 1175)Ponce de Cevera abducted a daughter of Ramon Bergenguer [III] from the comital palace in Barcelona, in 1148 and married her[428].  Ponce de Cevera and his wife Adalmuz donated property to the Templarios by charter dated 15 Mar 1148[429].  "Almodis vicecomitissa Bassensis" freed serfs, for the soul of "mariti mei Pontii de Cervaria" and with the consent of "omnium filiorum meorum", by charter dated 19 Nov 1154, subscribed by "Ugoni filii eius, Poncii filii eius, Berengarii filii eius…"[430]Adalmus soror comes Barchinonensis...cum filiis meis Ugo et Poncius et Raimundus de Torrea Rubea genere meo et coniux eius Gaia filia mea” donated “alaudio infra terminos de Espulga de Tallad” to the monastery of Valldemaria by charter dated 28 Feb 1164[431].  "Ugo vicecomes de Bas" sold "vegeriam de Basso" to "Berengario de Puig Pardines et Raimundo patri tuo", with the consent of "Poncii fratris mei et Adalmus comitisse matris mee", by charter dated 14 Mar 1175, signed by "Ugonis vicecomitis de Bas, Poncii fratris eius, Adalmurs comitisse matris eorum…"[432]m (1148) [as his second wife,] PONCE [II] de Cervera Vescomte de Bas, son of PONCE [I] de Cevera & his wife Beatriz de Besalú Vescomtesa de Bas (-before 19 Nov 1155). 

 

 

 

B.      VESCOMTES de BARCELONA

 

 

The vescomtes de Barcelona have been studied by José Enrique Ruiz-Domènec[433], who reproduces more than 200 charters relating to the family dated from the mid-10th to the late-12th centuries. 

 

 

1.         GUITARD (-[985]).  "Guitardus" donated property to Santa Maria de Solsona by charter dated 21 Sep 955[434]Vescomte.  "Borrellus…comes et marchio cum coniuge Leudgardis chomitissa" sold the castle of Queralt to "Witardo vicecomite" by charter dated 15 Jul 976[435].  "Borrellus…chomes et marchio" sold property to "Unicfredo que vocant Amado" by charter dated 11 Jun 977, subscribed by "Ledgardis comitissa, Ansulfo, Vuitardus vicescomes…"[436]m GERBERGA, daughter of --- (-after 28 Nov 1010).  The name of Guitard´s wife is not known.  However, "Geriberga vicecomitissa", who donated property "in Claromonte castro" to the monastery of Sant Cugat by charter dated 24 Nov 1005[437], has not otherwise been identified.  There appears to be no chronological difficulty if she was the widow of Guitard.  This appears to be confirmed by the charter dated 28 Nov 1010 which publishes the testament of "condom homo…Adalbertus filius condam Guitardi vicecomitis", which bequeathes property to "mater sua Gueriberga"[438].  However, it is not known whether Geriberga was also the mother of Guitard´s sons Udalard and Geribert.  Guitard & his wife had three children: 

a)         UDALARD [I] (-after 30 May 1030).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   Vescomte de Barcelona.  "Udalardo vicecomiti et Arnulfi archidiaconi" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 11 Aug 990[439].  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Raimundo comite…et Udalardo vicecomite cum fratre suo Girbert et Bonifilio cum fratre suo Bonucio" to "comitatu Barchinonense"[440].  "Odolardus…vicecomite et Suniefredus" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés, in accordance with the testament of "Vivani pontifici", by charter dated 24 Feb 1001[441].  "Odalardus…vicecomitis" granted property to "uxori mee Richilde vicecomitissa" by charter dated 5 Feb 1006[442].  "Adolardus vicecomes" subscribed the charter dated 29 Mar 1013 under which "Raimundus comes…cum coniuge mea Hermensindis" confirmed donations to Sant Cugat del Vallés[443].  "Odolardus vicecomes…" subscribed the charter dated 29 Mar 1018 under which "Raimundus…comes…cum coniuge mea Ermessindis comitissa" confirmed donations to Sant Cugat del Vallés[444].  A charter dated 30 May 1030 records a sale of property to "Odolardo vicescomite"[445]m RIQUILDA de Barcelona, daughter of BORRELL [II] Comte de Barcelona & his first wife Ledgarda [de Toulouse] (-after 20 May 1041).  "El vizconde Odolardo y la vizcondesa Richilde su muger" donated property to Montserrat by charter dated 5 Mar 999[446].  "Odalardus…vicecomitis" granted property to "uxori mee Richilde vicecomitissa" by charter dated 5 Feb 1006[447].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified, although it is hinted at by the testament of her sister "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029, which appoints "…soror mea Richel…" as one of her helemosinarii[448].  It is also hinted at by the charter dated 26 May 1058 under which "Udalardus Bernardi…vicecomes" reached agreement with "domno Remudo comiti et domnæ Almodi comitissæ", the document naming "Remundi Borrelli comitis et avi iam dicti Udalardi" (although he was great-grandfather, not grandfather, of Vescomte Udalard [II][449].  "Richildis…vicecomitissa" granted property to "filio meo…Guisliberto episcopo" by charter dated 6 Mar 1041[450].  "Richillis vicecomitissa" sold property to "Bonifilius levita et fratri tuo Bonutius, prolis condam Vives" by charter dated 1 Mar 1041[451].  "Richildis…vicecomitissa" granted property to "filio meo…Guisliberto episcopo" by charter dated 6 Mar 1041[452].  "Domina vicecomitissa Rachelis cum filiis nostris…domnus Guisliberto pontifex et Iohannes de Mont [Serrad]" donated property by charter dated 20 May 1041[453].  Udalardo [I] & his wife had [four] children: 

i)          BERNAT .  His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 19 [Dec 1039] which records a dispute between "domnum Reimundum comitem et…Guilabertum episcopum", names "Udalardo nepoti suo" and in another place in the text refers to another dispute between "Udalardus Bernardi" and "Reimundum comitem", although it is not entirely clear that these two passages refer to the same person[454]Vescomte de Barcelonam ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-after [29 Jan 1063]).  Her marriage is indicated by the charter dated to [1053] under which "Udalardus filius que sum Ermengardis feminæ" swore allegiance to "domne Almodi comitissæ, filia quæ fuisti Ameliæ comitissæ"[455].  The document also indicates that Ermengarde was alive at that date.  Ermengarde was still alive in early 1058 as shown by the charter dated [17 Feb] 1058 under which "Udalardo filius qui sum Ermengardis femine" swore allegiance to "Guisliberto episcopo seniori meo filius qui fuisti Richillis vicecomitisse"[456], and in [29 Jan 1063] when "Udalardus, filius qui sum Ermengardis feminæ" swore allegiance once more to Comte Ramon Berenguer[457].  Bernat & his wife had one child: 

(a)       UDALARD [II] (-after 18 Jun 1077).  His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 19 [Dec 1039] which records a dispute between "domnum Reimundum comitem et…Guilabertum episcopum", names "Udalardo nepoti suo" and in another place in the text refers to another dispute between "Udalardus Bernardi" and "Reimundum comitem", although it is not entirely clear that these two passages refer to the same person[458]Vescomte de Barcelona

ii)         GUISLABERT [I] (-before 3 Jun 1062).  "Gilaberti levite et canonici [Barchinonensis] cathedralis ecclesie, filii Odolardi vicecomitis" donated property to the church of Barcelona by charter dated 8 Apr 1023[459].  Bishop of Barcelona [1034].  "Richildis…vicecomitissa" granted property to "filio meo…Guisliberto episcopo" by charter dated 6 Mar 1041[460].  "Domina vicecomitissa Rachelis cum filiis nostris…domnus Guisliberto pontifex et Iohannes de Mont [Serrad]" donated property by charter dated 20 May 1041[461].  "Gislabertus…Barchinonensis episcopus" sold "castrum…Fontaned" to "Odalardo vicecomiti nepoti meo" by charter dated 17 Feb 1058[462].  The testament of "Guislaberti episcopi" was published 3 Jun 1062, and bequeathes property to "Ermengaudo Iohannes suo nepoti…filium suum Mironem et…filiam suam Ermessindaem"[463]Mistress (1): ---.  The name of Guislabert´s mistress is not known.  Guislabert [I] had two illegitimate children by Mistress (1): 

(a)        MIRÓ (-after 24 Sep 1060).  "Guislibertus…pontifex sanctæ sedis Barchinone" granted property to "Ermesindam feminam filiam meam" by charter dated 5 Dec 1058, which names "fratri tuo Mironi"[464].  "Guislibertus episcopus" donated property to "dominam Guiliam et filiis suis Gondeballo et Arnallo et Raimundo" by charter dated 31 Oct 1060[465].  "Miro Guilaberti clericus, qui fui Guilaberti episcopi" sold property to "domnæ Almodi comitissæ" by charter dated 24 Sep 1060[466]. 

(b)        ERMESINDE (-after 25 Jan 1067).  "Guislibertus…pontifex sanctæ sedis Barchinone" donated property to "Ermesindam feminam filiam meam" by charter dated 5 Dec 1058, which names "fratri tuo Mironi" and refers to the children who Ermesinde may bear to "Reymundum Renardi" suggesting that the gift may have been her dowry[467].  "Guislibertus episcopus" donated property to "dominam Guiliam et filiis suis Gondeballo et Arnallo et Raimundo" by charter dated 31 Oct 1060[468].  "Ermesindis fæmina" sold property, bequeathed to her by "patris mei Guilaberti episcopi", to Comte Ramon Berenguer by charter dated 25 Jan 1067[469].  m (after 5 Dec 1058) RAMON Renardo, son of RENARDO & his wife --- (-before 25 Jan 1067). 

iii)        JOAN (-[8 May 1049/14 Nov 1052]).  "Domina vicecomitissa Rachelis cum filiis nostris…domnus Guisliberto pontifex et Iohannes de Mont [Serrad]" donated property by charter dated 20 May 1041[470].  "Ioannes Udalardi" donated property to Trasver by charter dated 8 May 1049[471]m ---.  The name of Joan´s wife is not known.  Joan & his wife had [two] children: 

(a)       [GUIFRE (-[14 Nov 1052/3 Jun 1062]).  "Gislibertus…episcopus sancte sedis Barchinonensis" granted property to "Guifredus Iohannes" by charter dated 14 Nov 1052[472].  The document does not specify any relationship between the donor and donee, but it is possible that the latter was the nephew of the former.] 

(b)       ARMENGOL (-after 3 Jun 1062).  The testament of "Guislaberti episcopi" was published 3 Jun 1062, and bequeathes property to "Ermengaudo Iohannes suo nepoti…filium suum Mironem et…filiam suam Ermessindaem"[473]

iv)       [ERMENGARDE .  Ruiz-Domènec refers to her parentage and marriage but he does not cite the corroborating primary source[474]m BERNAT, son of GUILLEM de Sant Martí & his wife Adelaida ---.] 

b)         GERIBERT (-after 26 Jun 1019).  "Geribertus vicecomes, filium Guitardi vicescomiti condam" donated property to the see of Barcelona by charter dated 2 Mar 986[475]Vescomte de Barcelona.  "Gueriberto filius Guitardi vicecomitis" sold property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 18 Feb 992[476].  This is the only document so far identified which accords the title "vescomte" to Geribert.  The implication is that it was withdrawn from him shortly afterwards, presumably in a dispute with his brother Udalard about their inheritance.  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Raimundo comite…et Udalardo vicecomite cum fratre suo Girbert et Bonifilio cum fratre suo Bonucio" to "comitatu Barchinonense"[477].  "Geiriberto filio condam Witardo et uxori mea Ermengards" exchanged property with "Geiriberto filio condam Gotmar et uxori tua Aigo" by charter dated 26 Jun 997[478].  "Geriberto filio condam Guitardo et uxori mea Ermengarda" exchanged property with "Geriberto filio condam Gotmar et uxor tua Aigo" by charter dated 26 Jun 1019[479]m ERMENGARDE de Barcelona, daughter of BORRELL [II] Comte de Barcelona & his first wife Ledgarda [de Toulouse] (-after 17 Oct 1029).  "Geiriberto filio condam Witardo et uxori mea Ermengards" exchanged property with "Geiriberto filio condam Gotmar et uxori tua Aigo" by charter dated 26 Jun 997[480].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.   A charter dated 19 Dec 1015 relating to a sale of property names "Ermengardis filia condam Borrelli comitis" and "Geriberto" but does not expressly make the connection between the two[481].  "Geriberto filio condam Guitardo et uxori mea Ermengarda" exchanged property with "Geriberto filio condam Gotmar et uxor tua Aigo" by charter dated 26 Jun 1019[482].  The testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029, appoints "…soror mea Richel…" as one of her helemosinarii, bequeathes "Subiratis…castel" to "Mir filio meo" on condition he donates it to "sua nepota filia de Reimundo", donates property "pro anima de viro meo domnus Geribertus", bequeathes property to "Guillelm filio de Mir…Fulcus filio…nepta mea filia de Reimundo…Seniol per dominicatione de filia mea Guilla…Adalet filia de Mir"[483].  Geribert & his wife had [four] children: 

i)          RAMON (-[26 Apr 1017/17 Oct 1029]).  A charter dated 26 Apr 1017, relating to a dispute between "Azalaudis uxor que fuit condam Gilelmi castri sancti Martini agens filii sui Bernardi" and the monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès, is subscribed by "…Raimundus proles Geriberti, Mironis frater istius Raimundi…"[484].  The document includes no indication of the identity of Geribert but the link with Miró, known son of Geribert de Barcelona, suggests that Ramon may have been the son of Vescomte Geribert.  This hypothesis appears to confirmed by the testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029 which bequeathes "Subiratis…castel" to "Mir filio meo" on condition he donates it to "sua nepota filia de Reimundo" and makes another bequest to "nepta mea filia de Reimundo"[485].  If this is correct, Ramon must have died before the date of the testament.  The fact that his daughter is not named in the testament suggests that she must have been only recently born, which in turn indicates that Ramon must have died shortly before that date.  m ---.  The name of Ramon´s wife is not known.  Ramon & his wife had one child: 

(a)       daughter (-after 17 Oct 1029).  Her parentage is confirmed by the testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029 which bequeathes "Subiratis…castel" to "Mir filio meo" on condition he donates it to "sua nepota filia de Reimundo" and makes another bequest to "nepta mea filia de Reimundo"[486].  The fact that this daughter is not named in the testament suggests that she must have been only recently born at that date. 

ii)         MIRÓ (-[2 Jul 1058/29 Oct 1060]).  The testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029 bequeathes property to "Mir filio meo"[487].  "Mir, filius qui fui de Ermeniadis femina" swore allegiance to "Reimundo comite Barchinonensis…et…Heisabet comitisa" by charter dated to [Dec 1039][488].  He rebelled against Ramon Berenguer I Comte de Barcelona.  The revolt of Mir Geribert (who styled himself "prince of Olèrdola") in 1040 was not finally suppressed until 1059[489].  A charter dated 4 Jul 1041 records the mediation of "Miro Geriberti princeps Olerdole" in a dispute involving the monastery of Santa Cecília de Montserrat, subscribed by "Mirone, Guile coniugis eiusdem…"[490].  "Guislibertus…sancte sedis Barchinonensis episcopus" donated property to "Mironi Geriberti et uxori tue Guilie et filio vestro Bernardo…clericus…sancte Crucis sancteque Eulalie" by charter dated 24 Nov 1041[491].  "Miro Geriberti et meaque coniux…Guisla nec non et filio nostro Bernardo clerico simulque Signuldus Guilelmi…elemosiniarius iam dicta Ermeniardis" donated property "quod fuit Ermeniardis condam matris mee vel Fulconis fratris mei" to the see of Barcelona by charter dated 17 Mar 1057[492].  A charter dated 1 Jul 1058 records the settlement of the claim by Ramon Berenguer Comte de Barcelona against "Mirone Geriberti" for his rebellion, which also names "uxor sua…Guilia…et Bernardus et Gondeballus filii illorum"[493].  "Domnus Remundus Barchinonensis comes et domna Almodis comitissa" granted "chastrum de Montbui" to "Mironi Geriberti et uxor eius Guilæ et illi filio vel filiis illorum" by charter dated 2 Jul 1058[494].  “Miro Geliberti et uxor mea Guisla femina et filii nostri Bernardus [...per dimissionem avunculi mei Fulconis] et Gondeballus” donated “castrum...Portus...in territorio Barchinonensi a parte occidentali prædictæ urbis” to “domno Raimundo Berengarii comiti et domnæ Almodi comitissæ” by charter dated 1 Jun 1059 subscribed by “...Udalardus vicecomes[495].  The testament of "Mironis Geriberti" is published 29 Oct 1060, constitutes "Guilia uxori suæ…" as one of the distributores, bequeathes property to "uxori sue Guilie…Bernardum filium suum et…Arnallum filium suum…Gondeballo filio suo…Adalaidis filie sue [et] suum filium", providing that if Arnal died his share should be inherited by "Reimundo fratri suo" and if Ramon died, by "Gondeballum filium suum"[496]m firstly (before 14 Mar 1024) DISPOSIA, daughter of GUILLEM de Sant Martí & his wife Adelaida --- (-after 31 Mar [1025]).  Charters dated 14 Mar 1024 and 31 Mar [1025] record donations by "Miron Geriberto y su mugger Disposia" to Santa Cecilia de Montserrat[497].  The information available relating to these donations does not indicate whether "Miron Geriberto" was the same person as the son of Geribert and Ermengardis.  If this hypothesis is correct, she was the granddaughter of "Galindo" who is named in a charter dated 18 Mar 1033 which records the dispute between the monastery of San Cugat and "Mironem Geriberti, agentem tutelam filii sui Guilelmi" concerning "predio…Caldarium" which Miró Geribert claimed belonged to "filii sui…per aprisionis vocem quam proavus suus Galindo fecerat"[498].  The charter dated 30 Jul 1033, which records judgment delivered in favour of the monastery in the dispute, also names "Galindo avus" of the children of Miró Geribert and "Guilelmus filius eius…Adelaizis uxor predicti Guilelmi, aiens tutelam filiorum suorum"[499]m secondly (before 17 Jan 1040) GUISLA, daughter of GOMBAU de Besora & his first wife Guisla --- (-after 6 Oct 1088).  A charter dated 17 Jan 1040 records an exchange of property between the abbot of Sant Cugat and "Mironi Geriberti et uxori tue…Guile"[500].  Her parentage is confirmed by the testament of "Gomballus", dated 16 Aug 1041, which names "Aurucia mulier mea…mulieri mee…Guisla [deceased]…filia mea…Guisla et…virum suum…Mir et…filium suum de Guisla…Bernard et Willelmum [archidiaconum] frater suum, nepotes Gomballi…filias meas Ermengards et Ermesends…Guisla nepta mea filia de Arbert"[501].  Her name suggests that she was probably born from her father´s first marriage.  This is confirmed by the charter dated to [1044] under which "Miro Geriberti, filius qui fui quondam Ermengardis femina et…Guilia filia qui fui alterius Guilie" confirmed a donation to Sant Miquel del Fai of property "post mortem Gonbald"[502].  "Guislibertus…sancte sedis Barchinonensis episcopus" donated property to "Mironi Geriberti et uxori tue Guilie et filio vestro Bernardo…clericus…sancte Crucis sancteque Eulalie" by charter dated 24 Nov 1041[503].  "Miro Geriberti et meaque coniux…Guisla nec non et filio nostro Bernardo clerico simulque Signuldus Guilelmi…elemosiniarius iam dicta Ermeniardis" donated property "quod fuit Ermeniardis condam matris mee vel Fulconis fratris mei" to the see of Barcelona by charter dated 17 Mar 1057[504].  A charter dated 1 Jul 1058 records the settlement of the claim by Ramon Berenguer Comte de Barcelona against "Mirone Geriberti" for his rebellion, which also names "uxor sua…Guilia…et Bernardus et Gondeballus filii illorum"[505].  “Miro Geliberti et uxor mea Guisla femina et filii nostri Bernardus [...per dimissionem avunculi mei Fulconis] et Gondeballus” donated “castrum...Portus...in territorio Barchinonensi a parte occidentali prædictæ urbis” to “domno Raimundo Berengarii comiti et domnæ Almodi comitissæ” by charter dated 1 Jun 1059 subscribed by “...Udalardus vicecomes[506].  The testament of "Mironis Geriberti" is published 29 Oct 1060, constitutes "Guilia uxori suæ…" as one of the distributores, bequeathes property to "uxori sue Guilie…"[507].  "Guislibertus episcopus" donated property to "dominam Guiliam et filiis suis Gondeballo et Arnallo et Raimundo" by charter dated 31 Oct 1060[508].  "Guilia femina, filia Gombaldi Bisorensi" donated property to Santa Maria de Solsona, for the soul of "viri mee Mironis Geriberti condam", by charter dated 6 Oct 1088[509].  Miró Geribert & his [first] wife had two children: 

(a)       GUILLEM (-[18 Mar 1033/19 Dec 1039]).  The testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029 bequeathes property to "Guillelm filio de Mir…"[510].  If the hypothesis suggested above about Miró Geribert´s first marriage is correct, the chronology suggests that Guillem would have been born to his father´s first wife.  A charter dated 18 Mar 1033 records the dispute between the monastery of San Cugat and "Mironem Geriberti, agentem tutelam filii sui Guilelmi", concerning "predio…Caldarium" which Miró Geribert claimed belonged to "filii sui…per aprisionis vocem quam proavus suus Galindo fecerat", judgment being issued in favour of the monastery by charter dated 30 Jul 1033[511].  His death is suggested by the charter dated 19 [Dec 1039] which records a dispute between "domnum Reimundum comitem et…Guilabertum episcopum" and refers to "morte de Guilelmo Mironis"[512]

(b)       ADELAIDA (-after 17 Oct 1029).  The testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029 bequeathes property to "…Adalet filia de Mir"[513].  If the hypothesis suggested above about Miró Geribert´s first marriage is correct, the chronology suggests that Guillem would have been born to his father´s first wife.  The testament of "Mironis Geriberti" is published 29 Oct 1060 bequeathed property to "…Adalaidis filie sue [et] suum filium"[514].  The name of Adalaida´s husband is not known.  m ---.

iv)       GUISLA de Sant Martí .  The testament of "Ermeniardis", dated 17 Oct 1029, bequeathes property to "…Seniol per dominicatione de filia mea Guilla…"[541], which suggests that Guisla was married to Seniol at that date although this is not expressly stated in the document.  "Gilla vicecomitissa" swore allegiance to "Reimundo comite Barchinonensis et…uxor tua Elisabet comitisa" by charter dated to [Dec 1039][542].  Her second marriage is indicated by the charter dated 11 Dec 1041 under which "Guiliam vicecomitissam…et filii sui quos habuit de Fulcho vicecomite"[543].  [m firstly (before 17 Oct 1029) SENIOL, son of ---.]  m [secondly] FOLC de Cardona, son of RAMON Vescomte de Cardona & his wife Enguncia --- (-30 Jan 1039).

UDALARD [II], son of BERNAT Vescomte de Barcelona & his wife --- (-after 18 Jun 1077).  His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 19 [Dec 1039] which records a dispute between "domnum Reimundum comitem et…Guilabertum episcopum", names "Udalardo nepoti suo" and in another place in the text refers to another dispute between "Udalardus Bernardi" and "Reimundum comitem", although it is not entirely clear that these two passages refer to the same person[548]Vescomte de Barcelona.  "Udalardo vizconde, su mugger Guilla…" sold property to the abbot of Santa Cecília de Montserrat by charter dated 7 Feb 1049[549].  "Udalardus filius que sum Ermengardis feminæ" swore allegiance to "domne Almodi comitissæ, filia quæ fuisti Ameliæ comitissæ" by charter dated to [1053][550].  "Udalardo filius qui sum Ermengardis femine" swore allegiance to "Guisliberto episcopo seniori meo filius qui fuisti Richillis vicecomitisse" by charter dated [17 Feb] 1058[551].  "Gislabertus…Barchinonensis episcopus" sold "castrum…Fontaned" to "Odalardo vicecomiti nepoti meo" by charter dated 17 Feb 1058[552].  "Udalardus Bernardi…vicecomes" reached agreement with "domno Remudo comiti et domnæ Almodi comitissæ" by charter dated 26 May 1058, which names "Remundi Borrelli comitis et avi iam dicti Udalardi"[553].  "Udalardus vicecomes…et uxor mea Guilia" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 18 Jun 1077, subscribed by "Guilabertus Udalardi vicecomes…"[554].  "Udalardus, Barchinonensis vicecomes et coniux mea…Guilia" granted property to "Andree Guilaberti" by charter dated 29 Jul 1083, signed by "Guilabertus Udalardi"[555]

m (after May 1035) as her second husband, GUISLA, widow of BERENGUER RAMON [I] Comte de Barcelona, daughter of --- (-after 1079).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[556], she was Guisla de Lluça, daughter of Sunifred [II] Señor de Lluça i Villanova & his wife Ermesenda de Balsareny.  On the other hand Kerrebrouck states that the "third" wife of Berenguer Ramon [I] was "Guisle de Ampurias"[557].  The primary sources which corroborate these hypotheses have not yet been identified.  “Berengarius…Marchio Comes…cum uxore mea Guillia comitissa” donated property to Barcelona Santa Eulalia by charter dated to [1028][558].   The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.   The testament of "Berengarii comiti et marchionis" dated 9 Feb 1035 names "uxorem meam Guiliam comitissam"[559].  Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter of her son Guillem, dated 1054, in which he names himself "filius…Guislæ feminæ…comitissa…nunc est vice comitissa propter maritum quem habuit post patris mei"[560].  "Udalardo vizconde, su mugger Guilla…" sold property to the abbot of Santa Cecília de Montserrat by charter dated 7 Feb 1049[561].  "Udalardus vicecomes…et uxor mea Guilia" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 18 Jun 1077, subscribed by "Guilabertus Udalardi vicecomes…"[562]

a)         REVERTER [I] (-killed in battle [1142/44]).  His parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 25 May 1135 which records a sale of property to "Reverter" which names "patris tui Girberti"[572]Vescomte de Barcelona.  "Revertarius vicecomite Barchinona…cum Raimundo Fulcone de Cardona" reached agreement with Ramon Berenguer III Comte de Barcelona by charter dated to [1126][573].  "Reuertarius vicecomes Barchinonensis" donated property to Sant Vicenç de Cardona by charter dated 27 Oct 1135, subscribed by "Bernardus vicecomes"[574].  "Revertarius vicecomite Barchinone et Berengarius filius meus" reached agreement with "Guillelmo nepote meo et consubrino de me Berengario" over "castru de Gaurdia" by charter dated 9 Nov 1135[575].  The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris names "from Barcelona…Reverter" among those captured by "King Ali…[of] Marrakesh" during his campaigns in Andalucía, adding that he was placed in charge of the captured Christian knights[576].  Ibn-Khaldoun names "Ez-Zoborteir" as leader of the Christian militia of the Almoravid Sultan Techoufin in Morocco[577].  The same work records the involvement of "Ali ibn ez-Zoborteir" in Mallorca, with the comment that variations of the translation include "er-Robertin"[578].  An earlier translation of the same work translates the name as "Ali ibn-er-Robertin"[579].  Dozy suggests that the correct transliteration is "Reberter"[580].  The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records the death of "Reverter the leader of the captive Christian people…in the palace of King Tashufin"[581]m ARSENDA, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 28 Jul 1157 under which "Berengarius Reverter, filius Arsendis femine" swore fidelity to Comte Ramon Berenguer IV[582].  Reverter [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)          BERENGUER [I] (-after 28 Oct 1167).  "Revertarius vicecomite Barchinone et Berengarius filius meus" reached agreement with "Guillelmo nepote meo et consubrino de me Berengario" over "castru de Gaurdia" by charter dated 9 Nov 1135[583]Vescomte de Barcelona.  "Berengarius vicecomes…cum coniuge mea Ermesendis" confirmed the donation to Sant Cugat del Vallés by "proavus meus Udalardus vicecomes…avus meus Guilabertus Udalardi vicecomes" by charter dated 7 May 1155[584].  "Berengarius de ipsa Guardia, filius qui fui Reverterii vicecomitis" sold "castrum meum de…Guardia" to "domno Raimundo Berengarii Barchinonensium comiti" by charter dated 13 Mar 1157[585].  "Berengarius Revertarius vicecomes de ipsa Guardia et uxor mea Ermessendis" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 19 Jan 1159, signed by "Berengarii Revertarii vicecomitis, Ermessendis uxoris, Berenguer ben Reverter" (signed in Arabic) and "…Dulcie uxoris Guillelmi de Gardia"[586].  "Berengarius de la Guardia, filius Reverter" donated property to "Guillelmo Raimundi dapifero et filio tuo Guillelmo de Montcada" by charter dated 3 Apr 1160[587].  The testament of "Berengarius Revertarius" is dated 28 Oct 1167, before his journey to Morocco, bequeathes "castrum meum de ipsa Guardia et castrum de Apierola et castrum Novum et castrum de Granaria et castrum de Apiera" to "filio meo Berengario" under the guardianship of "Arberti de Castro Vetulo", and if he died without legitimate children "castrum de Gardia et castrum de Apiera" to "Guillelmo de Castro Vetulo consanguineo meo", subscribed by "…Berenguer ben Reverter (signed in Arabic)"[588].  A charter dated 11 Sep 1168 recognises a debt of Alfonso King of Aragon to "Berengario Reverter"[589].  "Berenguer Reverter de la Guardia" restored rights to Santa Maria de Montserrat, unjustly removed by "su padre Berenguer Reverter", by charter dated 6 Oct 1172[590]m ERMESENDIS, daughter of --- (-[19 Jan 1159/28 Oct 1167]).  "Berengarius vicecomes…cum coniuge mea Ermesendis" confirmed the donation to Sant Cugat del Vallés by "proavus meus Udalardus vicecomes…avus meus Guilabertus Udalardi vicecomes" by charter dated 7 May 1155[591].  "Berengarius Revertarius vicecomes de ipsa Guardia et uxor mea Ermessendis" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés by charter dated 19 Jan 1159[592].  Berenguer [I] & his wife had one child: 

(a)       BERENGUER [II] (-[18 Oct 1187/2 Sep 1192]).  The testament of "Berengarius Revertarius", dated 28 Oct 1167, bequeathes "castrum meum de ipsa Guardia et castrum de Apierola et castrum Novum et castrum de Granaria et castrum de Apiera" to "filio meo Berengario" under the guardianship of "Arberti de Castro Vetulo"[593].  A charter dated 11 Sep 1168 recognises a debt of Alfonso King of Aragon to "Berengario Reverter"[594].  "Berenguer Reverter de la Guardia" restored rights to Santa Maria de Montserrat, unjustly removed by "su padre Berenguer Reverter", by charter dated 6 Oct 1172[595].  The testament of "Berengarius de Guardia" is dated 13 Apr 1183, before undertaking the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, bequeathes "castrum de Guardia" to "Arberto de Castro Veteri", and if he dies childless, to "Guillelmo de Guardia consanguineo meo", and "castro Apierole" to "Guillelmo de Monte Serrato consanguineo meo"[596].  Under a second testament of "Berengarius de Guardia", dated 18 Oct 1187 before leaving for Morocco, he bequeathes "castrum de Guardia et castrum d´Apiera" to "dominum Arberti de Castro Veteri", along with other bequests to other other beneficiaries whose relationship to the testator, if any, is not described[597].  A charter dated 2 Sep 1192 records the settlement of a dispute between Alfonso II King of Aragon and "Arbertum de Castro Veteri" concerning the estate of "Berengarii de Guardia"[598]

Reverter had one [probably illegitimate] child by [an unknown mistress, probably a Muslim]: 

ii)         BERENGUER bin Reverter ([Morocco] [1135/42]-killed in battle Ghomert, near Tunis 1187).  "…Berenguer ben Reverter" (signed in Arabic, different person from the donor) subscribed a charter dated 19 Jan 1159 under which "Berengarius Revertarius vicecomes de ipsa Guardia et uxor mea Ermessendis" donated property to Sant Cugat del Vallés[599].  "…Berenguer ben Reverter" (signed in Arabic) also subscribed the testament of "Berengarius Revertarius" dated 28 Oct 1167[600].  Reverter was such an unusual name in contemporary Catalonian charters that there must be a connection with Vescomte Reverter [I].  It is very unlikely that this second Berenguer was the legitimate child of the vescomte given that the latter´s only known legitimate child was given the same name.  If it is correct that Berenguer was illegitimate, the arab name and the signature in Arabic suggest that his mother was Muslim.  Dozy records that "Reberter" (see above) left a Muslim son named "Abu-l-Hasan Ali ibn-ar-Reberter", who served the Almohads, was sent to Mallorca by Sultan Abu-Yakub Yusuf towards the end of his reign to fight the Almoravid Beni-Ghania family who ruled the island, was arrested during the campaign against Santarem in 1184, escaped, but was killed in battle at Ghomert, near Tunis in 1187[601].  It would appear that this was the same person named "Berenguer ben Reverter", present in Barcelona, in the documents dated 1159 and 1167.  It is assumed that he was born during his father´s period of captivity in Morocco. 

b)         daughter .  Her parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 3 Jan 1146 which records an agreement between Ramon Berenguer IV Comte de Barcelona and "Guillelmum de Guardia vicecomitem" confirming the latter´s possession of "castelaniam de Apera" which "avus eius Guilabertus Udalardi…tenuit"[602]m ---.  Two children:

A.      COMTES de CERDANYA 897-1118

 

 

The county of Cerdanya was located in the interior of Catalonia, east of the county of Urgell and north-west of the county of Besalú.  The county of Berga [Berguedà] was situated south of Cerdanya.  The county of Cerdanya was conquered in the 830s by Seniofredo, father of Guifré [I] "el Pilós/el Velloso/the Hairy" who was installed as comte de Barcelona in 878 (see Chapter 2.A).  Guifré [I] was confirmed as comte de Cerdanya i Urgell in 870 by Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks.  Cerdanya passed to Guifré´s son Miro [II], who also held the counties of Conflent and Berga.  The county passed to Ramon Berenguer [III] Comte de Barcelona in 1117.

b)         BERNAT [I] de Cerdanya (-1117).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names "Guillelmum…Jordani et Bernardum-Guillelmi" as the two sons of "Guillelmus-Raimundi", recording that Bernat succeeded his brother, ruled the county for 18 years and died childless in 1117[1062].  "Guillelmus Raymundi…Cerdaniæ comes" confirmed the settlement of Villafranca de Conflans by charter dated 9 Apr 1075, subscribed by "Guillelmus Iordani, Bernardi Guillelmi…"[1063].  “Guillelmus Raimundi comes hujus provinciæ cum uxore mea comitissa...Sancia et filiis nostris...Guillelmo et Bernardo” donated property “in valle Confluenti” to Canigon monastery by charter dated 11 Jul 1084[1064].  The testament of “Guillelmus Raymundi...comes”, dated 7 Oct 1095, made bequests to “Guillelmo Iordani filio meo...filio meo Bernardo[1065].  The testament of “Guillelmus Iordani...comes”, dated 13 Apr 1102, appointed “...Bernardi Guillelmi fratrem meum et Henricum avunculum meum...” among his executors, made bequests to “matri meæ Sanciæ comitissæ...Bernardo Guillelmi fratri meo...Aienrico avunculo meo...Raymundo Berengarii Barcheonensi comiti consanguineo meo”, witnessed by “...Dalmacii vicecomitis, Bernardi vicecomitis...[1066].  He succeeded his brother in 1109 as Comte de Cerdanya i Berga.  "Bernardus Wilelmi…comes Ceritaniensis" donated property to the abbey of la Grasse by charter dated [4/12] Feb 1114, subscribed by "Raymondi comes Barchinonensis, Dulciæ comitissæ uxoris eius, Raimundi et Berengarii filiorum suorum, Geraldi Poncii vicecomitis Gerundensis, Dalmatii vicecomitis de Bergueda"[1067].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 1117 of “Bernardus comes Ceritaniæ[1068]m [SANCHA de Álvar].  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. 

Guillem Ramon [I] had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1):

c)          ARMENGOL IOZBERT (-after 23 Jan 1107).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Jan 1107 under which "Ermengauds Iocbertus…filius qui fuit de Guilla femina" reached agreement with "domno Gauceran Mir [de Pinós]" concerning "kastros…de Iosa et de Orsera et de Sanctum Romanum" {Josa, Orsera, Sant-Roma}, which Galceran Miró held from "comite Guillem fratre meo"[1069].  The only explanation for this document appears to be that Armengol Iozbert was an illegitimate son of Comte Guillem Ramon [I].  In this case, his second name "Iocbertus" cannot be explained by its being a patronymic, unless it was name of his mother´s husband who may have brought him up in his family. 

2.         ENRIC de Cerdanya (-[13 Apr 1102/1117]).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names "Guillelmum…Raimundi et Henricum" as the two sons of "comes Raimundus filius Guiffredi comitis Cerritaniæ"[1070].  The testament of "Arnallus Bernardi", dated 1067, names "Guilielmo Reimundo seniori meo…et fratre eius Henrico, et Udalgario vicecomite…"[1071].  Miret y Sans quotes a charter dated 13 Nov 1079 which records the presence of "…Enrich avunculus Guillelmi comitis y Bernardus Bernardi vice comitis de Urg" at an agreement between Guillem Comte de Cerdanya and the abbot of "Sant Sadurni de Tabernoles", but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[1072]Vescomte [de Cerdanya].  “Guillelmus Raimundi comes hujus provinciæ cum uxore mea comitissa...Sancia et filiis nostris...Guillelmo et Bernardo” donated property “in valle Confluenti” to Canigon monastery by charter dated 11 Jul 1084, subscribed by “...Eienrici vicecomitis...[1073]Guillelmus...comes et Sancia comitissa et Guillermus filius noster et Henricus vicecomes” donated property “in comitatu Cerdaniæ in pago Iuvense infra...villæ...de Herr...” to Elna by charter dated 24 Apr 1086[1074].  The testament of “Guillelmus Raymundi...comes”, dated 7 Oct 1095, appointed “...Henricum fratrem meum...” among his executors[1075].  The testament of “Guillelmus Iordani...comes”, dated 13 Apr 1102, appointed “...Bernardi Guillelmi fratrem meum et Henricum avunculum meum...” among his executors, made bequests to “matri meæ Sanciæ comitissæ...Bernardo Guillelmi fratri meo...Aienrico avunculo meo...Raymundo Berengarii Barcheonensi comiti consanguineo meo[1076]m ---.  The name of Enric's wife is not known.  Enric & his wife had two children:

i)          BERNAT (-1073 or after).  The source which is cited below confirms that Bernat was the son of Guisla.  No source has yet been identified which names his father.  However, as discussed above, the reconstruction of the present family appears to make more sense if he was the son of Vescomte Sunifredo.  Vescomte de Cerdanya.  Miret y Sans records that "Bernat vescomte filius qui fui Wisle femine" swore homage to "comte Ramon filius qui fuit Wisle comitisse" by charter dated to [1035/68], but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[1137].  [“Raimundus...comes et coniux mea Adala” donated “alodium...in comitatum Cerritaniense...in parochia Sancte Marie Tolonense ipsa villa...Corts” to Santa Maria de Serrateix by charter dated 2 Feb 1046, subscribed by “...Bernardus Sinfre vicecomite, Dalmaz vicecomite...[1138].  It is not certain that “Bernardus Sinfre vicecomite” can be identified as Bernat Vescomte de Cerdanya.]  "Bernardus" swore homage to "Raymundum comitem Cerritaniensem" for "castros…in Cerritania…castrum Sancti Martini et castrum de Miralles et castrum de Cheralt" by charter dated 22 Jun 1061[1139].  "Raimundus comes Cerritanie et Adala comitissa" confirmed the service of "homines de…villa de Merengs" by charter dated 8 Feb 1064, which names "Bernardo qui fuit vicecomes Cerritanie"[1140]m GUISLA, daughter of --- (-before [1078]).  Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1078] under which her son "Raimundus Bernardi filius qui fui Guisle femine" swore homage to "Guillelmum comitem seniorem meum filius qui es Adale comitisse"[1141].  Bernat & his wife had [three] children: 

(a)       RAMON (-after 1 Mar 1127).  "Raimundus Bernardi filius qui fui Guisle femine" swore homage to "Guillelmum comitem seniorem meum filius qui es Adale comitisse" by charter dated to [1078][1142]Vescomte de Cerdanya.  "Raimundi Bernardi vicecomitis, Bernardi fratris eius…" subscribed the charter dated 1081 which records the foundation of the priory of Serrabona[1143].  “Raimundus vicecomes de Cerritania et Petrus Raimundus vicecomes Urgellitanus” agreed that “jamdicto Petro Raimundo et Sibillæ uxori eius” would control "castra de Sancto Martino, de Mirales et de Cheralt" by charter dated 1 Mar 1126 (maybe O.S.)[1144]

(b)       BERNAT (-after 1081).  "Raimundi Bernardi vicecomitis, Bernardi fratris eius…" subscribed the charter dated 1081 which records the foundation of the priory of Serrabona[1145].  Miret y Sans quotes a charter dated 13 Nov 1079 which records the presence of "…Enrich avunculus Guillelmi comitis y Bernardus Bernardi vice comitis de Urg" at an agreement between Guillem Comte de Cerdanya and the abbot of "Sant Sadurni de Tabernoles", but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[1146].  He suggests that Bernat Vescomte de Urgell was the same person as Bernat, brother of Ramon Vescomte de Cerdanya.  However, if this was correct, it is unclear why Bernat would not have been accorded the title vescomte in the charter dated 1081.  It is suggested that the two references to Bernat must relate to two separate persons. 

(c)       [GUILLEM (-after 24 Nov 1130)Vescomte de Berga.  “Guillelmus vicecomes de Berguitano filius que fui Guile vicecomitissa” swore allegiance to “Ugo de Mataplana filio Adeledis” relating to property which “pater suus dimisit tibi in suum testamentum” by charter dated 24 Nov 1130[1147].  The reference to his mother suggests that Guillem was another son of Bernat Vescomte de Cerdanya.  This has not been confirmed.]

G.      SENYORES de MATAPLANA

 

 

1.         [UG] .  His name is indicated by the second name of his son Bernat Ug, assuming that it was a patronymic.  [same person as...?  UG Dalmau de Cervera (-before 1079).  This suggested co-identity is based on Ugo Dalmau de Cevera swearing allegiance to Guillem Ramon [I] Comte de Cerdanya for his castles “Cadercino et...Ellesindi” by charter dated to [1068/1079][1355], two of the castles for which Bernat Ug swore allegiance to Guillem Jordan Comte de Cerdanya by charter dated to [1098/1102] (see below), combined with the second name of Bernat Ug (assuming that this was a patronymic).  If this co-identity is correct, Belisendis would have been Ug Dalmau’s second wife.m BELISENDIS, daughter of --- (-after [1098/1102]).  She is named in the [1098/1102] charter of her son Bernat Ug, the wording of which suggests that she was alive at the time.  [Ug] & his wife had one child: 

a)         BERNAT Ug (-[26 Sep 1125/24 Nov 1130]).  “Bernardus Ugonis filius que sum Bellessendis femine” swore allegiance to “Guillelme comitem seniorem meum filius [qui] es Sancie comitisse” [Guillem Jordan Comte de Cerdanya] for his castles “Oilesen et Kadercino et Meranichos et Forchanos et Supercorts et Ballomar” by charter dated to [1098/1102][1356].  “Bernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses, with the consent of “uxoris mee Stephanie et omnium filiorum meorum, Ugonis et Guilelmi et Bernardi atque Poncii et Raimundi”, and offered “filium meum...Petrum Bernardi” to the monastery as a canon, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125 “inter Mata Plana[1357]m firstly ADALADIS, daughter of ---.  She is named as mother of Ug in the 24 Nov 1130 charter quoted below.  If, as appears likely, her son was the same Ug who was recorded 26 Sep 1125 as the son of Bernat Ug, Adaladis was the latter’s first wife.  m secondly ESTEFANIA [Etiennette/Stéphanie], daughter of ---.  “Bernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses, with the consent of “uxoris mee Stephanie et omnium filiorum meorum, Ugonis et Guilelmi et Bernardi atque Poncii et Raimundi”, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125[1358].  Some indication about her family origin is provided by the following.  The 11 Dec 1146 testament quoted below indicates that Guillaume [VI] Seigneur de Montpellier appointed his “consobrinus” Ponce de Mataplana (see below, fourth son of Bernat Ug) to an eventual role in the guardianship of his children.  The term “consobrinus” would normally translate as “first cousin” (although it could indicate more remote family relationships[1359]), while the requirement for the consent of the testator’s mother suggests that the relationship was on the maternal side of Guillaume [VI]’s family.  If that is correct, one of Pons’s parents would have been the sibling of Ermesende, mother of Guillaume [VI].  The less likely possibility is that Ermesende was Bernat Ug’s sister as, in that case, his first son would have been the more obvious choice for the guardianship role.  It is therefore more likely that Ponce’s mother was the sister of Ermesende.  Suggesting the family origin of these two possible sisters would be speculative.  Bernat Ug & his [first] wife had three children (Ludovic Noirie suggests that the distinction between the conjunctions “et” and “atque” in the list of Bernat Ug’s children in the 26 Sep 1125 charter may indicate that the first three named sons were born from their father’s first marriage and the remaining sons from his second[1360].  This suggestion is corroborated by the testament of Guillaume [VI] Seigneur de Montpellier appointing his “consobrinus”, Bernat Ug’s fourth son Ponce who would have been the eldest son by Bernat’s second marriage, to an eventual role in the guardianship of his children.): 

i)          UGBernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses, with the consent of “uxoris mee Stephanie et omnium filiorum meorum, Ugonis et Guilelmi et Bernardi atque Poncii et Raimundi”, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125[1361]same person as...?  UG .  [Senyor] de Mataplana: “Guillelmus vicecomes de Berguitano filius que fui Guile vicecomitissa” swore allegiance to “Ugo de Mataplana filio Adeledis” relating to property which “pater suus dimisit tibi in suum testamentum” by charter dated 24 Nov 1130[1362].  The common reference to Mataplana in the 26 Sep 1125 and 24 Nov 1130 charters suggests this co-identity. 

ii)         GUILLEMBernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses, with the consent of “uxoris mee Stephanie et omnium filiorum meorum, Ugonis et Guilelmi et Bernardi atque Poncii et Raimundi”, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125[1363]

iii)        BERNATBernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses, with the consent of “uxoris mee Stephanie et omnium filiorum meorum, Ugonis et Guilelmi et Bernardi atque Poncii et Raimundi”, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125[1364]

Bernat Ug & his [second] wife had three children:

iv)       PONCE de Mataplana (-after 11 Dec 1146)Bernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses, with the consent of “uxoris mee Stephanie et omnium filiorum meorum, Ugonis et Guilelmi et Bernardi atque Poncii et Raimundi”, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125[1365]Under his testament dated 11 Dec 1146, "Guillelmus de Montispessulano, filius Ermesende" [Guillaume [VI] Seigneur de Montpellier, see the document TOULOUSE - LANGUEDOC] names “Poncio de Mataplana consobrino mei” taking an eventual role in the guardianship of his children with the consent of “matris mee[1366]

vi)       PERE BernatBernardus Ugonis” settled disputes with Sant Joan de les Abadesses and offered “filium meum...Petrum Bernardi” to the monastery as a canon, by charter dated 26 Sep 1125[1368].  It is reasonable to suppose that Pere Ramon was young when this offer was made.  If that is correct, he was probably the son of his father’s second marriage, maybe the couple’s youngest son.

H.      SENYORES de PINÓS

 

 

A narrative genealogy of the Pinós family, written by Bernat Galceran de Pinós in 1620, traces the family’s descent[1372].  From the late 13th century, the document reproduces the full text of numerous testaments and charters which corroborate the information.  The treatment of the earlier generations is less reliable and many parts are inconsistent with information found in charters extracts of which are quoted below.  After reviewing the origins of the Carolingians, the 1620 narrative names “Dapifer de Moncada, Galceran Grau de Pinós, Huc de Mataplana, Jou de Çervera, Garau Remon de Çervello, Pere de Alamany, Remon de Anglesola, Gispert de Ribellas, Berenguer Roger de Erill” as the nine Catalonian barons in the mid-8th century, before recording the Carolingian conquest of Catalonia in the last quarter of the same century and the introduction of the “Usatges de Cathalunya” (quoting extracts from various chronicles which name the same nine barons)[1373].  The narrative provides more details concerning the same supposed “Galceran Grau de Pinós”, and then skips two centuries before naming “Pere Galceran [I] de Pinós[1374].  Typical of many similar 17th/18th century genealogies, the manuscript purports to confirm the family’s Carolingian descent by recording that “Pere Galceran [I] de Pinós” married his son “Remon Galceran [I] de Pinós” in 1015 with “una descendent de dits comtes...Dalda [...Adalayda] filla de Bernat Trencaferro comte de Besalù...ab Alispesa filla única de Guillem vescomte de Querforadat”, assuming that the bride’s ancestor Guinidilda, wife of Guifré “el Pilós” Comte de Barcelona, was the daughter of Baudouin I Count of Flanders (which is incorrect as demonstrated earlier in the present document)[1375].  The Pinós descent is on somewhat firmer ground from the person shown below as Galceran [I] Miró de Pinós, but the narrative is still confused and unreliable until the 13th century.  Selective extracts have been included below only where they provide information not otherwise given in other primary source documentation which has been identified. 

 

Another early 17th century narrative genealogy traces an alleged descent from Adam to “Don Gaspar Guerau de Arellano que hoy vive”, which and includes legendary figures such as “los varones de Vualpurg en Alemania [the Truchseßen von Waldburg family? - see the document WÜRTTEMBERG]...Guerau, Principe y Duque de Suabia...Thuisón Rey de Alemania y de Sarmacia y éste fue hijo de Noé despues que salió del arca[1376].  Somewhat firmer ground starts with a description of the early condes de Barcelona, until the appearance “la santa...Garcenda, hija de Suñer Conde de Barcelona” alleged ancestor of the later descendants[1377].  As usual with works such as these, it is impossible to assess where legend gives way to fact in the absence of corroborative primary source material.

m ADALET, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Jan 1107 under which "Ermengauds Iocbertus…qui fuit de Guilla femina" reached agreement with "domno Gauceran Mir […filium qui fuisti de Sicards femina] et a filio suo Gauceran […qui fuit filio de Adalet femina et a Remon Gauceran qui fuit filius de Azalet femina]" concerning "kastros…de Iosa et de Orsera et de Sanctum Romanum" {Josa, Orsera, Sant-Roma}[1386]

Galceran [I] Miró & his wife had [three] children: 

1.         GALCERAN [II] de Pinós (-after 16 Apr 1141).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Jan 1107 under which "Ermengauds Iocbertus…qui fuit de Guilla femina" reached agreement with "domno Gauceran Mir […filium qui fuisti de Sicards femina] et a filio suo Gauceran […qui fuit filio de Adalet femina et a Remon Gauceran qui fuit filius de Azalet femina]" concerning "kastros…de Iosa et de Orsera et de Sanctum Romanum" {Josa, Orsera, Sant-Roma}[1387]"Poncius Ugonis de Cervaria et uxor mea Beatrix cum filiis nostris Petro et Poncio" donated two parts of "castro et…villa Cervarie" to "seniori nostro Raimundo Barchinonensi comiti" for "vice comitatu de Basso" by charter dated 16 Jan 1128, signed by "Gocerandi de Pinos…"[1388].  "Galceran II" swore homage "al comtes de Barcelona Ramon Berenguer y Dolça" for "los…castells de Pinós, Espada, Gosol, Saldes, Querforadat y Vallmagna" by undated charter[1389]"Galceran II…y…son fill Galceran III" swore homage "Ramon Berenguer IV de Barcelona" for "los castells de Sant-Martí, Miralles y Queralt" by charter dated 1133[1390]...Gaucerandi de Pinos, Gaucerandi filii eius...” subscribed the charter dated 16 Apr 1141 under which “Raymundus Berengarii...Barchinonensis, Bisuldunensis, Ceritaniensis comes et marchio ac princeps Aragonensis” chose burial in Ripoll Santa Maria[1391]m ESTEFANÍA, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by her son "Galceran III…filius Stephanie" swearing homage "al Rey Alfons I" for "los castells de Gosol, Querforadat, Aló", undated[1392].  [Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy names the wife of “Pere Galceran [III] de Pinós” [presumably referring to Galceran [II]] as “Berenguera de Moncada tia de Guillem de Moncada Gran Senescal[1393]This supposed family origin has not been confirmed by primary source documentation and no person of this name has been identified in the Montcada family during the right time-frame.]  Galceran [II] & his wife had one child: 

a)         GALCERAN [III] de Pinós (-after 2 Oct 1190).  "Galceran II…y…son fill Galceran III" swore homage "Ramon Berenguer IV de Barcelona" for "los castells de Sant-Martí, Miralles y Queralt" by charter dated 1133[1394].  “...Gaucerandi de Pinos, Gaucerandi filii eius...” subscribed the charter dated 16 Apr 1141 under which “Raymundus Berengarii...Barchinonensis, Bisuldunensis, Ceritaniensis comes et marchio ac princeps Aragonensis” chose burial in Ripoll Santa Maria[1395].  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy associates Galceran [III] with the legend of the rescue of the hundred maidens from captivity in Granada, dated to [1147/49][1396].  "Gaucerandus de Pinos et coniux mea Berengaria et filii nostri Raimundus Gaucerandus et Bernardus Gaucerandus et Berengarius Gaucerandus" donated property to the Templars by charter dated 29 Sep 1170[1397].  A charter dated 6 Sep 1171 records an agreement between "domnum A.

2.         RAMON Galceran de Pinós (-after 23 Jan 1107).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Jan 1107 under which "Ermengauds Iocbertus…qui fuit de Guilla femina" reached agreement with "domno Gauceran Mir […filium qui fuisti de Sicards femina] et a filio suo Gauceran […qui fuit filio de Adalet femina et a Remon Gauceran qui fuit filius de Azalet femina]" concerning "kastros…de Iosa et de Orsera et de Sanctum Romanum" {Josa, Orsera, Sant-Roma}[1423]

3.         [UG de Pinós (-after 1100).  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy names “Pere Galceran de Pinos y...Huc de Pinós” as sons of “Galceran Galceran de Pinós” and his [unnamed] wife, recording that Huc participated in the First Crusade in 1096 and returned to Catalonia in 1100 with “una creu dorada...[1424].  The primary source which confirms that this information is correct has not been identified.] 

 

 

Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy names “Galceran de Pinos” [shown below] and “---” who married “Arnau Roger comte de Pallars” as children of “Remon Galceran de Pinós” [see above][1425].  The primary source which confirms this affiliation has not been identified.  No other indication has been found that a sister of Galceran married a comte de Pallars.  The chronology is not ideal for Remon Galceran to have been the father of Galceran who is named below, considering that the former was already named in 1170 as shown above and that the birth date of the latter is estimated (very approximately) to [1220/30].  The chronological difficulty suggests the possibility of an intervening generation in the descent of the Pinós family.  The issue is further confused by the same 1620 narrative which records that “Pere Galceran de Pinós senyor de las baronias de Pinós y Mataplana”, son of Galceran [III], married “Hermisenda de Cartellà, filla de Guillem Galceran de Cartellà” whose dowry included “lo castell de Gironella, prop de Girona”, naming their children “Remon Galceran” and “Elisenda” who married “Berenguer de Portella senyor de la baronia de la Portella[1426].  These persons have not been identified and no primary sources confirming the information have been found, but one possibility is that the text refers to a different Remon Galceran who might have been the father of Galceran who is named below.  

 

GALCERAN de Pinós, son of --- ([1220/30?]-before 1278).  He is named (as deceased) in the 3 Mar 1294 testament of his son quoted below.  His birth date is estimated very approximately from the suggested birth date of his son Galceran.  He was presumably deceased when his wife made her testament. 

m ESCLARMONDA, daughter of --- (-1278 or after).  She is named (as deceased) in the 3 Mar 1294 testament of her son quoted below.  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Remon Galceran de Pinós”, married “Esclaramunda de Canet filla del noble Remon de Canet senyor de Canet”, by whom he had “Galceran de Pinos...Pons que es féu nomenar de Guàrdia”, “Elisenda” who married “Pere de Moncada” by whom she had “Ot de Moncada” and “Elisenda” who married Jaime II King of Aragon, and “Berenguera de Pinós” who married “Remon de Çervera senyor de Çervera[1427]The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified.  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that the testament of “Esclaramunda de Canet muller del...Galceran de Pinós” was dated 1278[1428]

Galceran & his wife had [four] children: 

1.         GALCERAN de Pinós ([before 1255]-[3 Mar 1294/10 Oct 1299])His birth date is estimated on the basis that he was younger than his wife.  The testament of “Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, names “Galceran quondam pare nostre...la senyora Esclaramunda quondam muller de aquell e mare nostra” when affirming payment of their obligations, sets the dower of “la senyora Berenguera muller nostra”, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra”, appoints “Pere Galceran de Pinós fill nostre” as his heir, refers to obligations of “lo comte de Urgell e la vescomtessa Aurenbiaix al pare nostre, quondam[1429].  He is named as deceased in the 10 Oct 1299 marriage contract of his son quoted below.  m BERENGUERA de Montcada, daughter of [PERE [I] de Montcada & his [second] wife Sibila de Abarca] ([before 1260?]-after 10 Oct 1299).  Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by the following document: the contract of marriage between "Saura", with the consent of "Jacobi…Regis Majoricarum, Comitis Rossilionis et Ceritaniæ et domini Montispessulani patris mei", and [her son] "nobilem virum Petrum Gaucerandi de Pinosio, filium et heredem nobilis viri Gaucerandi de Pinosio quondam", with the consent of "dominæ Berengeriæ matris meæ uxoris dicti patris mei quondam, et Domini fratris Guillelmi…Urgellitani Episcopi avunculi mei" is dated 10 Oct 1299[1430]Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Galceran de Pinós” and “Esclaramunda de Canet”, married “Berenguera de Moncada, germana del noble Pere de Moncada, lo qual casà ab Elisenda germana del dit Galceran”, by whom he had “Pere Galceran de Pinós...Bernat...Remon...Berenguer...Guillem”, “Sibilia” who married “Guillem de Portella senyor de la baronia de Portella”, and “Costansa y...Leonor”, noting that the children were named in his testament[1431].  The fact that Berenguera was recorded with a married daughter in 1294 suggests that she was born before [1260], which is consistent with her being the full sister of Pere [II], born towards the end of their father’s life.  This suggestion appears to be supported by her eldest daughter being named Sibila, presumably after Pere’s [second] wife.  Galcerán & his wife had eight children: 

a)         SIBILA de Pinós .  The testament of “Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra[1432]The date of her marriage suggests that she was one of her parents’ older children.  The testament of [her brother] “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 16 Jul 1305, codicil dated 13 Mar 1311, revoked an earlier testament in favour of [her son] “Bernat Saportella nebot nostro e a Remon de Cardona nebot nostre...Remon de Moncada cosí nostre[1433].  The testament of “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 18 Jul 1348, appointed executors “...Berenguer Saportella cosin germà nostro...[1434]m (before 3 Mar 1294) GUILLEM de Portella, son of ---. 

b)         PERE [I] de Pinós (-before 2 Feb 1312)The testament of Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra”, appoints “Pere Galceran de Pinós fill nostre” as his heir[1435]The testament of “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 16 Jul 1305, codicil dated 13 Mar 1311, chose burial “en lo simintiri de la església dels frares menors de Perpinyà”, revoked an earlier testament in favour of “Bernat Saportella nebot nostro e a Remon de Cardona nebot nostre...Remon de Moncada cosí nostre”, appointed “Sanxa muller nostra” as his heir, and named as executors “Senyor Sanxo...Rey de Mallorca e lo senyor Ferrando germà d’ell[1436]m (contract 10 Oct 1299) as her first husband, SAURA de Mallorca, illegitimate daughter of JAIME II King of Mallorca & his mistress --- (-1333).  The contract of marriage between "Saura", with the consent of "Jacobi…Regis Majoricarum, Comitis Rossilionis et Ceritaniæ et domini Montispessulani patris mei", and "nobilem virum Petrum Gaucerandi de Pinosio, filium et heredem nobilis viri Gaucerandi de Pinosio quondam", with the consent of "dominæ Berengeriæ matris meæ uxoris dicti patris mei quondam, et Domini fratris Guillelmi…Urgellitani Episcopi avunculi mei" is dated 10 Oct 1299[1437].  She married secondly (betrothed Jun 1313, [1315/16], Papal dispensation 4o 11 Nov 1319) as his second wife, Berenguer de Vilaragut Señor de Sanmartí y Subirats.  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Saura o Sanxa filla de Sanxo [error, see marriage contract above] Rey de Mallorca” married secondly “lo noble N. de Vilaragut”, installed by Jaime II King of Aragon as “vescomte de Sobirats”, by whom she had a daughter who married “lo noble Bernat de So[1438]Pere [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)          PERE [II] de Pinós (after 13 Mar 1311-30 Jul 1348).  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy names “Pere Galceran de Pinós” as son of “Pere Galceran de Pinós” and his wife “Saura o Sanxa filla de Sanxo [error, see marriage contract above] Rey de Mallorca[1439]Pere [II] was not named in his father’s 13 Mar 1311 codicil quoted above so must have been born after that date.

d)         BERNAT GALCERAN de Pinós .  The testament of “Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra[1441]The fact that his brother Pere [I] had appointed his nephews as his heirs in the undated testament (referred to in the 16 Jul 1305/13 Mar 1311 document quoted above) suggests that all Pere’s brothers were deceased at the time. 

e)         BERENGUER GALCERAN de Pinós .  The testament of “Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra[1442]The fact that his brother Pere [I] had appointed his nephews as his heirs in the undated testament (referred to in the 16 Jul 1305/13 Mar 1311 document quoted above) suggests that all Pere’s brothers were deceased at the time. 

f)          GUILLEM GALCERAN de Pinós .  The testament of “Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra[1443]The fact that his brother Pere [I] had appointed his nephews as his heirs in the undated testament (referred to in the 16 Jul 1305/13 Mar 1311 document quoted above) suggests that all Pere’s brothers were deceased at the time. 

g)         CONSTANZA de Pinós .  The testament of “Galceran de Pinós”, dated 3 Mar 1294, bequeathes property to “Remon Galceran fill nostre...Bernat Galceran fill nostre...Berenguer Galceran e...Guillem Galceran fills nostres...Sibilia filla nostra...muller del noble Guillem de Portella...Costansa filla nostra...Leonor filla nostra[1444]The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified.  It is indicated by the testament of [her brother] “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 16 Jul 1305, codicil dated 13 Mar 1311, which revoked an earlier testament in favour of “Bernat Saportella nebot nostro e a Remon de Cardona nebot nostre...Remon de Moncada cosí nostre[1445]m (after 3 Mar 1294) BERNAT AMAT de Cardona, son of --- (-[1310/12]).

2.         [PONS [de Guàrdia] .  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Remon Galceran de Pinós”, married “Esclaramunda de Canet filla del noble Remon de Canet senyor de Canet”, by whom he had “Galceran de Pinos...Pons que es féu nomenar de Guàrdia”, “Elisenda” who married “Pere de Moncada” by whom she had “Ot de Moncada” and “Elisenda” who married Jaime II King of Aragon, and “Berenguera de Pinós” who married “Remon de Çervera senyor de Çervera[1447]same person as...?  RAMON de Guàrdia (-before 5 Oct 1272).  Assuming some truth in the 1620 narrative, from a chronological point of view it is possible that “Pons...de Guardia” was the same person as Ramon de Guardia.  Raimundus de Guardia” swore homage to Sant Joan de les Abadesses for certain rights, including those of “uxoris sue [Thomasie] filie quod Berengarii de Portella” by charter dated 13 Apr 1263[1448]m TOMASIA de Portella, daughter of BERENGER de Portella & his wife --- (-after 5 Oct 1272).  “Raimundus de Guardia” swore homage to Sant Joan de les Abadesses for certain rights, including those of “uxoris sue [Thomasie] filie quod Berengarii de Portella” by charter dated 13 Apr 1263[1449].  “Thomasia uxor condam nobilis Raimundi de Gardia” swore homage to Sant Joan de les Abadesses for “honorem castri de Gardia”, and “Petrus de Bacho racione Sclarmonde uxoris, sue filie condam” for certain parts, by charter dated 5 Oct 1272[1450].  Ramon & his wife had one child:

Ramon de Cervera se quedó con Algere, que era del Condado de Urgel” and was later succeeded by “Doña Esclaramunda su hija y de Doña Berenguela de Pinos su muger, que fue hija de Don Galceran de Pinos[1453]Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Remon Galceran de Pinós”, married “Esclaramunda de Canet filla del noble Remon de Canet senyor de Canet”, by whom he had “Berenguera de Pinós” who married “Remon de Çervera senyor de Çervera[1454]m RAMON de Cabrera, son of --- (-after 1256).] 

4.         [ELISENDA de Pinós ([before 1275/80?]-).  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Remon Galceran de Pinós”, married “Esclaramunda de Canet filla del noble Remon de Canet senyor de Canet”, by whom he had “Elisenda” who married “Pere de Moncada” by whom she had “Ot de Moncada” and “Elisenda” who married Jaime II King of Aragon[1455].  The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.  If it is right, Elisenda was probably born before [1275/80], based on the date of her daughter’s marriage.  If correct, that date suggests that, if the parentage suggested in the 1620 narrative is accurate, Elisenda was much younger than her brother Galceran.  Another early 17th century narrative genealogy of the Pinós family identifies her family origin but confuses this couple’s children with those of Guillem Ramon [II] de Montcada who is named above: it records that “Brigida Guerau Pinós hija de Galcéran Guerau Pinós” married “Don Pedro de Moncada” by whom she had “tres hijos y dos hijas: el primero...Gastón...Señor de Moncada Lagostera y Vizconde de Bearne; el segundo Guillem Señor de las Baronías de Serós y Aytona; el tercero Don Pedro Señor de Fraga y Albalate[1456]m PERE [II] de Montcada, son of PERE [I] de Montcada & his wife [Sibila de Abarca].] 

 

 

Primary sources which confirm the precise connection between the following person and the main Pinós family have not been identified:   

 

1.         GALCERAN de Pinós .  Rüdt-Collenberg suggests that this person was a younger brother of Pere [I] de Pinos, first husband of Saura de Mallorca, illegitimate daughter of Jaime II King of Mallorca (see above)[1457].  This affiliation appears unlikely if Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy correctly states that Pere [I]’s brothers and sisters are all named in their father’s testament[1458]m as her first husband, --- de Mallorca, illegitimate daughter of SANCHO King of Mallorca & his mistress Sancha de Puigbach.  She married secondly (before 1322) [as his first wife[1459]], Gilabert de Cruïlles Barón de Peratalada (-1348).

3.         BERNAT de Pinós (-[25 Mar/7 Sep] 1425).  The testament of “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 18 Jul 1348, appointed “Galceran fill nostre e de la dita noble muller nostra”, naming as successive substitutes “Pericó fill nostre...Bernat fill nostre...Remon fill nostre...Huguet fill nostre...Berenguer fill nostre...Constansa filla nostra...Leonor...Esclaramunda filla nostra[1472]Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that, after the death of “Pere Galceran de Pinós y de Fenollet fill segon...”, he was succeeded by “Don Bernat Galceran de Pinós y de Fonollet, dit lo Antic...son germà[1473]

Chapter 5.    EMPÚRIES [AMPURIAS]

 

 

A.      COMTES de EMPÚRIES [812]-1322

 

 

The county of Empúries developed around a Greco-roman town in the present-day comarca of Alto Ampurdán, to the east of Girona in Catalonia, its name deriving from the Greek "Εμπόριον" meaning "market".  The armies of the future Emperor Louis I occupied Girona in 785 and the first counts in the area, appointed by the Carolingian Frankish rulers, are recorded in the early 9th century.  The county of Empúries became hereditary in the family of Sunyer, who also ruled Roussillon, in the mid-9th century.  The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of these families have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below. 

 

 

1.         ERMENGAR [Armengol/Ermengaud] (-after 813).  "Karolus…augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued a charter dated 2 Apr 812 to the counts in the Spanish March "Berane, Gauscelino, Gisclafredo, Odilone, Ermengario, Ademaro, Laibulfo et Erlino comitibus"[1526].  Comte de Empúries: Einhard records that "Mauris" came from Corsica to Spain in 813 and that “Irmingarius comes Emporitanus” surprised them off Mallorca, captured eight ships, and liberated 500 prisoners[1527].  His name suggests a family connection with the later comtes de Barcelona (see Chapter 2) and with the comtes d´Albi (see TOULOUSE NOBILITY-CENTRAL & WESTERN TOULOUSE). 

 

 

1.         DELA [I] (-[894])Comte de Empúriesm CHINTOL, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by a charter dated 23 Feb 941 under which her daughter "Virgilia hija del Conde Dela y de la Condesa Chintol" donated property to "su hermana Ranlo"[1528].  Dela [I] & his wife had two children: 

a)         RAMLO (-[960]).  Her parentage is confirmed by a document dated 23 Apr 983 which records judgment at the castle of Besalú in a dispute concerning property acquired by "conde Dela" from the Jews which he bequeathed to "su hija la abadesa Raulo", who donated it to Santa Maria de Ripoll "en sufragio de…su nepote Suniefredo Comite" and naming "su hermana Virgilia"[1529].  Abbess of Ripoll Sant Joan.

[m firstly BENITA Fernández de Lara, daughter of conde FERNANDO Núñez de Lara Señor de Castrogeriz & his wife Mayor ---Benita is shown in secondary sources as the first wife of Ponce [IV] Conde de Ampurias.  The primary source on which her supposed parentage and marriage are based has not yet been identified.   It appears unlikely that the information is correct.  Benita is not named in her supposed mother´s donation dated 15 Jun 1232, which names all her other known children, alive or deceased at the time.  It would be surprising if Benita was omitted, assuming that she was the daughter of Fernando Núñez de Lara.  In addition, her supposed husband later married Teresa Fernández, supposed sister of Benita.  It is surprising that a Papal dispensation would have been issued for such a marriage in the mid-13th century.  In addition, no other example has been found of the name "Benita".  If a primary source does exist which names her, it is possible that the name was a nickname applied to Ponce´s known wife Teresa.  If this is correct, Teresa would have been the mother of Ponce´s children.]

Chapter 7.    ROUSSILLON [ROSELLÓN]

 

 

A.      COMTES de ROUSSILLON

 

 

The county of Roussillon was located in northern Catalonia, south of the city of Narbonne, to the north of what is today the frontier between France and Spain.  The county was included in the “March of Spain” established by Charles I King of the Franks as a barrier against Muslim incursions from the south.  As noted below, counts in Roussillon are recorded in primary sources from the early 9th century.  The names of the early counts from the mid-9th to the mid-10th centuries suggest a family relationship with the comtes de Barcelona (see Chapter 2.A), but the precise connection if any has not been confirmed.  The county fell within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the bishopric of Elna/Elne, in the archdiocese of Narbonne.  Comte Gérard [II], last direct descendant of the comital family in the male line, bequeathed the county of Roussillon to Alfonso II King of Aragon by his testament dated 4 Jul 1172.  Roussillon was transferred to France in 1659 under the Treaty of the Pyrenees which ended the war between France and Spain.

1.         GUILLEM [VI] .  Vescomte de CastelnauAn online description of Céret (which appears to be well-researched) records that “en 1282 le seigneur de [Céret] Guillaume IV, vicomte de Castelnou, qui tenait la seigneurie d'Ava sa femme, elle même la tenant de son père, Pons Vernet, qui la tenait lui-même en fief pour les comtes d'Ampurias” (no source cited, but the text describes freedoms given by Guillem to Céret in a way which suggests that this was the object of the 1282 document)[1969]m AVA de Vernet [-les-Bains] Dame de Céret, daughter of PONS de Vernet & his wife ---.  The primary source which confirms her marriage and family origin has not been identified.  She is named in the extract quoted under her husband.  Guillem [VI] & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         GAUSBERT [V] (-1321[1970]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  Vescomte de CastelnauPère Anselme records his testament dated 29 Sep 1320 (no source citation)[1971]m firstly ALAMANDA de Rocaberti, daughter of ---.  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.  m secondly (29 Oct 1317) as his second wife, GAUSSERANDE de Narbonne, widow of GUERIN [V] d’Apchier Seigneur d’Apchier, daughter of AMALRIC [II] Vicomte de Narbonne & his wife Jeanne de l’Isle-Jourdain (-after 1334)A charter dated 1366 records a previous agreement between "Arnaldum dominum de Rocafolio militem", now represented by "Arnaldus eius filius", and "Emericum vicecomitem Narbonensem militem" concerning the succession of "Almaurici et Ioannis dudum liberorum Ioannis de Narbonna militis", stating that "Amauricus quondam vicecomes Narbonensis et Ioanna eius uxor avus et avia dicti Ioannis" had "septem liberos, Aimericum, Guillelmum, Petrum et quatuor filias…Ioannam, Iosserandam, Constanciam et Sebiliam"[1972]Père Anselme records her two marriages and the date of each marriage (no sources cited)[1973].  Claverie records “une série d’actes” dated 1334 under which “Galceranda de Narbonne” ceded “la vicomté de Castelnou” to “[le] vicomte de Narbonne Aymeric V” [presumably her brother Aimery [V] Vicomte de Narbonne][1974].  The following document shows that subsequently Castelnau was transferred to Gausserande’s son by her first marriage, who sold it to the king of Mallorca: “Jacobus…rex Majoricarum” instructed “procuratoribus nostris in comitatibus Rossilionis et Ceritanie, Bernardo Egidii et Michaeli Amarelli” to pay “nostro consanguineo…Guarino de Castronovo domino de Apcherio” annual instalments for the purchase of “vicecomitatu Castrinovi”, by charters dated 19 Oct 1338 and 11 Apr 1339[1975].  Gausbert [V] & his second wife had two children:

i)          SIBILLA de Castelnau ([1318]-)Sanç King of Mallorca acknowledged “Galecranda de Narbonne et…Dalmau de Castelnou” as guardians of “la noble Sibillapupille, fille et héritière [du]…défunt Jaspert” after her father died by charter dated Oct 1321[1976].  “Hugues Alleman seigneur de Valbonnais” named “Guillaume Artaud seigneur d’Aix” as proxy to negotiate his marriage with “Sibylle de Châteauneuf” by charter dated 27 Feb 1339[1977].  The marriage contract between “Hugues Alleman seigneur de Valbonnais” and “Sibylle de Châteauneuf fille de feu Jaspert vicomte de Châteauneuf” is dated 23 Mar 1339[1978]m (contract 23 Mar 1339) HUGUES Alamandi Seigneur de Valbonnais, son of GUILLAUME Alamandi & his first wife Agnes de Thoire et Villars Dame d’Aubonne (-after 16 Sep 1364). 

ii)         FRANCESCA de Castelnau ([1319]-after 1331).  Claverie records her parentage (naming her “Francesca” and indicating that she was the daughter of her father’s second marriage), her betrothal, her father’s termination of the betrothal contract following a dispute about her dowry, the war which followed, and the peace agreement in Spring 1320[1979].  She is named in the 3 Jul 1322 document quoted below.  The Oct 1321 charter quoted above under her sister Sibilla, naming Sibilla as their father’s heir, suggests that Francesca was the younger daughter and therefore was also born from their father’s second marriage.  Pope John XXII confirmed an extension to the peace agreement between “Gesperto vicecomite de Castronovo…” and “Petrus de Fenoleto vicecomes Insule…” by letter dated 23 Aug 1320 addressed to “Amalrici vicecomiti Narbonensi[1980].  “Sancius…rex Majoricarum, comes Rossilionis et Ceritanie et dominus Montispesulani” instructed “Bernardo Guillermi de Torenno militi, vicario Rossilionis et Vallispirii” to sell “castra de Sancto Felice superiori et de Sancto Felice inferiori nobilis Jazperti vicecomitis Castrinovi quondam”, partially settling the debt of “nobili Petro de Fenolleto vicecomiti Insule, ratione matrimonii…inter Periconum de Fenolleto filium ipsius…et Franciscam filiam…dicti…Jazperti de Castronovo quondam”, by charter dated 3 Jul 1322[1981].  Claverie records “un document mutilé” dated 1331 which names “le vicomte de Narbonne, Aymeri” as guardian of Francesca, who inherited “la seigneurie de Céret” from “leur aïeule Ava de Vernet” and married “le seigneur Pere IV de Queralt[1982].  The first part of this extract, referring to her guardianship, presumably relates to Francesca, daughter of Gausbert [V], as “le vicomte de Narbonne, Aymeri” can be identified as Aimery [V] Vicomte de Narbonne (see the document TOULOUSE-LANGUEDOC) who was her maternal uncle.  The second part, relating to her inheritance and marriage, is discussed below under her supposed maternal aunt Francesca.  Betrothed ([1319, contract terminated 1319] to PIERRE de Fenouillet, son of PIERRE de Fenouillet Vicomte de l´Ille-sur-Têt & his wife ---. 

b)         [FRANCESCA de Castelnau .  The genealogical table of the Queralt family in the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana records “Francesca de Castelnau senyora de Ceret” as the wife of “Pere IV †1323/24 senyor de Queralt, Santa Coloma, Vespella etc“, with three definite children, of whom “Pere V †1348” who left eight children[1983].  No parentage is specified for Francesca, but the chronology suggests that she must have been the daughter of Guillem [VI] Vescomte de Castelnau.  An online description of Céret records that the “seigneurie passa...aux mains de Françoise, la fille de Guillaume IV de Castelnou [presumably indicating Guillem [VI]], en 1312...[qui] la donna par mariage à Pierre de Quéralt, son mari” (no source cited)[1984].  Her family origin and marriage are indicated by Claverie who records “un document mutilé” dated 1331 which names “le vicomte de Narbonne, Aymeri” as guardian of Francesca, noting that she inherited “la seigneurie de Céret” from “leur aïeule Ava de Vernet” and married “le seigneur Pere IV de Queralt[1985].  It is not clear from Claverie’s text whether the “document mutilé” includes all this information or only the mention of Francesca as ward of the vicomte de Narbonne.  Claverie assumes that the document relates to Francesca, younger daughter of Vescomte Gausbert [V], which must be correct in relation to the guardianship (Aimery [V] Vicomte de Narbonne was her maternal uncle) but is incompatible with her supposed marriage assuming that her descendants are correctly described in the Enciclopèdia.  Three explanations for the confusion are possible: (1) Claverie relied on a second document which indicated Francesca’s marriage without specifying her parentage; (2) the lost parts of the “mutilated” document included text which clarified the existence of two persons named Francesca, aunt and niece; or (3) the 1331 document was factually incorrect.  Until more information comes to light, it is assumed that a second Francesca did exist, belonging to the earlier generation, who married Pere de Queralt.  m PERE [IV] Senyor de Queralt, son of PERE [III] Senyor de Queralt & his wife Margelina d’Anglesola (-[1323/24]).]

1.         ANDRE de Fenouillet (-after 18 Dec 1384)Zurita names “don Pedro de Fenollat vizconde de Illa” when recording that “los baronies de Portilla”, belonging to “don Andres de Fenollet su hijo por razon de doña Marquesa su madre”, were restored to him[2012]Père Anselme records André’s testament dated 18 Dec 1384[2013]m firstly (1353) SIBYLLE de Narbonne, daughter of AIMERY [V] Vicomte de Narbonne & his second wife Tiburge d’Usson.  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage in 1353, noting her dowry[2014]m secondly VENTURA de Ejérica, daughter of PEDRO de Ejérica [Aragón] Baron de Ejérica & his wife Bonaventura di Arborea ([1338]-after 1382).  Père Anselme records André’s second and third marriages but does not name his wives[2015]m thirdly ---.  Père Anselme records André’s second and third marriages but does not name his wives[2016].  André & his [first/second/third] wife had one child: 

a)         PIERRE de Fenouillet (-1423).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although it is indicated by the 25 Mar 1425 document quoted below which records that his vicomtés were granted to his supposed first cousin, son of his paternal aunt Marquèse, after he died.  Vicomte de l’Ille et de Canet: following the death in 1423 of “Don Pedro de Fonollot vescomte de Illa y de Canet” [Bernat’s maternal cousin], a charter dated 25 Mar 1425 records that Alfonso IV King of Aragon granted “vicecomitatuum Insule et de Caneto” to “Bernardo Galcerando de Pinosio[2017]m as her second husband, CONSTANÇA de Pròixida, widow of FRANCESC de Perellós, daughter of --- (-after 5 Aug 1441).  Yolande de Bar Queen of Aragon sent condolences to “[Constança de Pròixida] la vescomtessa de Illa e de Canet” for the death “del noble mossèn Francí de Perellós, fill vostre” by charter dated 12 Nov 1418[2018]The testament of “Bernat Galceran de Pinós, àlies de Fenollet, senyor de la casa de Pinós e vescomte de Illa e de Canet...”, dated 5 Aug 1441, bequeathed property to “...madona Costansa quondam muller de...Pere de Fenollet quondam vescomte de Illa e de Canet...[2019].  Pierre had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 

i)          MARQUESE (-after 5 Aug 1441).  The testament of “Bernat Galceran de Pinós, àlies de Fenollet, senyor de la casa de Pinós e vescomte de Illa e de Canet...”, dated 5 Aug 1441, bequeathed property to “...madona Marquesa bastarda de Fenollet filla del...Pere de Fenollet quondam vescomte de Illa e de Canet...[2020]

2.         MARQUESE de Fenouillet (-after 1 Jun 1361).  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Pere Galceran de Pinós” married “la noble Marquesa de Fenollet filla dels nobles Pere de Fenollet, primer Vezcomte de Illa, y de Esclarmunda de Canet, que per ser morts sos germans sens fills vingué a ser Vescomtessa de Canet[2021].  The testament of “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 18 Jul 1348, appointed executors “Dona Marquesa de Pinós consort nostra...Berenguer Saportella cosin germà nostro...[2022].  The testament of “Marquesa de Pinós y de Fenollet...” is dated 1 Jun 1361[2023].  As noted above, the vicomtés de l’Ille et de Canet passed to her son after the death of Pierre de Fenouillet in 1423.  m (before 1335) PERE de Pinós, son of PERE [I] de Pinós & his wife Saura de Mallorca (after 13 Mar 1311-30 Jul 1348). 

3.         [ESCLARMONDE de Fenouillet .  The genealogical table of the Rocaberti family in the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana names “Esclarmunda de Fenollet” as second wife of Felip Dalmau [I] Vescomte de Rocaberti.  The primary source which confirms this information have not been identified.  If it is correct, from a chronological point of view her marriage date suggests that she was a younger daughter of Pierre de Fenouillet Vicomte de l’Ille-sur-Têt.  Salazar y Castro says that she was the daughter of "D. Pedro II Vizconde der Ylla y de Doña Esclaramunda Vizcondesa de Canet"[2024].  The identity of her mother has not been confirmed.  m (1355) FELIP DALMAU [I] Vescomte de Rocaberti, son of JOFRE [V] Vescomte de Rocaberti & his wife Elisenda de Montcada (-after 13 Jun 1391).] 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 8.    TARRAGONA

 

 

Tarragona was first captured from the Moors by Christian forces in [1015/20]: the Chronico S Petri Vivi Senonensi records, in a section headed 1015 but which extends into later years, that "Rotgerius filius Rodulfi comitis" (identified as Roger [I] de Tosny, see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY) left Normandy with an army for Spain (“de Normannia perrexit cum exercitu in Hispaniam”) where he captured “civitates et castella...Tarraconam [Tarragona] et Gerundam [Girona]”[2025].  A charter dated 1050 records that "Raymundum comitem Barchinonensem et Elisabet comitssa" promised the town of Tarragona "cum ipso comitatu Terraconensis" to "Berengarium vicecomitem Narbone", naming also "Ricardus vicecomes de Amilau"[2026].  No record has yet been found to indicate that this grant was ever implemented.  In the early 12th century the town was held by the counts of Barcelona, as shown by the bull dated 21 Mar 1118 under which Pope Gelasius II confirmed the grant of Tarragona, and its archbishopric, by Ramon Berenguer III Comte de Barcelona to Oldegaire Bishop of Barcelona dated 23 Jan 1117[2027].  The bishop in turn granted Tarragona to the Norman adventurer Robert Burdet: "Ollegarius…Tarrachonensis metropolis dispensator" installed "Roberte" as "civitatis principem" of "civitatem Tarraconæ", granted to the bishop by "bonæ memoriæ Gelasius et Calixtus Romani pontifices", by charter dated 14 Mar 1128[2028].  It is likely that Robert was related to the Anglo-Norman family of the same name which is shown in the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY A-C.  The career of Robert Burdet, and other Normans in Spain, has been studied by Villegas-Aristizábal[2029].  Robert was presumably a rebellious vassal, as shown by the charter dated Aug 1151 under which Bernard Bishop of Tarragona granted the town back to Ramon Berenguer IV Comte de Barcelona[2030].  A charter dated 7 Aug 1151 clarifies the background, recording the judgment in a dispute between Bernard Bishop of Tarragona and "Rodbertus et Guielmus de Aquilone" who had conquered the territory of Tarragona[2031].  It is suggested that the title "conde" was self-attributed by this family.  It is unlikely that either the comtes de Barcelona or the bishops of Barcelona would have had the authority to create a county in Tarragona or award a noble title which was on the same level as their own.  The fact that Robert is described as "princeps" in a charter dated 1151 also suggests that his title was neither officially created nor fixed.  Robert´s widow is referred to in charters as "comitissa", which in the circumstances could be considered a courtesy title, but the couple´s sons are not recorded with any particular title in the charters which have so far been found relating to the family.  The family´s rule over Tarragona was short-lived.  Robert´s son Gulielmo is recorded as ruler of the town (without a comital or princely title) but there is no record of any other member of Robert´s family having ruled after Gulielmo died.  After Gulielmo died, his brother Roberto was alleged to have been implicating in the murder of the archbishop of Tarragona.  Alfonso II King of Aragon assumed control over the town, and refused the plea made by Robert´s younger brother Berenguer to have the fiefdom confirmed on Gulielmo, son of his deceased oldest brother Gulielmo. 

 

 

ROBERT Burdet [de Culei/de Aquilone] (-[14 Jul 1157/6 Jun 1158])"Comes Rotro" granted property in Zaragoza to Subiano by charter dated Apr 1123 witnessed by "…Robertus Bodeth…"[2032].  Alcalde in Tudela under Rotrou du Perche: "Equitaniensis comitis…Retrot sub iussu Adefonsi imperatoris…dominator Totele. De manu comitis est alcaite in Totela Rotbert Bordet" are named in the dating clause of a charter dated 22 Apr 1125 under which "Oriel Garciez" bought houses in Tudela[2033].  "…Comite Rotró in Tutela, sub quo Robert Bordet in castello…" are named in the dating clause of a charter dated 26 Feb 1126 under which "Aimes voluntate uxoris mee Bonete" sold property to the bishop of Calahorra [2034].  "…Comite Rotron senior in Tudella, Robert de Normant villa alcaede…" are named in the dating clause of a charter dated Nov [1131] (probably actually dated to [1125/27] in view of Robert´s appointment to Tarragona in 1128) under which "Galin Sanz et uxor mea Toda" exchanged property in Tudela for property in Huesca[2035].  Orderic Vitalis records that "Normannus eques Rodbertus de Cueleio cognomento Burdeth" decided to establish himself in Spain and settled in "urbem…Terracona"[2036]Conde de Tarragona.  "Ollegarius…Tarrachonensis metropolis dispensator" installed "Roberte" as "civitatis principem" of "civitatem Tarraconæ", granted to the bishop by "bonæ memoriæ Gelasius et Calixtus Romani pontifices", by charter dated 14 Mar 1128[2037].  Orderic Vitalis records that "Rodbertus", on the advice of "Odelricus…præsulis", visited Rome where Pope Honorius confirmed "Terraconensem comitatum" to him[2038].  Orderic Vitalis records a campaign by "Hildefonsus Arragonum rex…contra paganos" in 1133 in which "Rodbertus…cognomento Burded comes Terraconæ" participated[2039].  A charter dated 7 Aug 1151 records the judgment in a dispute between Bernard Bishop of Tarragona and "Rodbertus et Guielmus de Aquilone" who had conquered the territory of Tarragona[2040].  "Rotbertus princeps Terrachone et coniux mea Agnes…cum filio nostro Guilelmo Bordet" granted property to "Arnallo Palomario" by charter dated 25 Jan 1151 (maybe O.S.)[2041].  “Robertus princeps Tarraconæ et eius uxor Agnes” donated “duas partes de tota civitate Tarraconæ...” to the church of Tarragona by charter dated 10 Jun 1153, confirmed by charter dated 13 Feb 1157[2042].  Robert, his wife Ines and son Guillermo, granted Salou for repopulation by charter dated 14 Jul 1157, witnessed by "Guillelmus Burdet, Agnes, Robert Burdet II"[2043]

m firstly (before [1130]) SIBYLLE, daughter of GUILLAUME la Chèvre & his wife --- (-before [1135]).  Orderic Vitalis records that, while "Rodbertus" was absent in Rome and during his visit back to Normandy, "Sibylla uxor eius, filia Guillelmi Capræ" governed "Terraconam"[2044].  As this is the only reference which has been found to Robert´s wife Sibylle, it is possible that Orderic Vitalis mistook the name and that he is referring to the same person as Robert´s known later wife named Agnes. 

m secondly (before [1135]) AGNES [Ines], daughter of --- (-after 1 Dec 1168).  Her marriage is dated to before [1135] on the assumption that her son Gulielmo was adult when mentioned in the charter dated 25 Jan 1151 under which "Rotbertus princeps Terrachone et coniux mea Agnes…cum filio nostro Guilelmo Bordet" granted property to "Arnallo Palomario"[2045].  Another possibility is that Agnes was the same person as Robert´s supposed first wife Sibylle, the latter being named only by Orderic Vitalis who could have mistaken the name.  “Robertus princeps Tarraconæ et eius uxor Agnes” donated “duas partes de tota civitate Tarraconæ...” to the church of Tarragona by charter dated 10 Jun 1153, confirmed by charter dated 13 Feb 1157[2046].  "Agnes formerly wife of Robert Count of Tarragona and her son William Burdet" donated property to Tortosa by charter dated 6 Jun 1158[2047].  “Agnes comitissa de Terragona et filii mei Guillelmus et Ricardus et uxor ipsius Guillelmi” donated land “in termino de...Codoyn” to Santa Maria de Valldaura by charter dated 22 Dec 1160, subscribed by “Agnetis comitisse...Guillelmi filius eius, Ricardi fratris eius, Roberti[2048].  "Agnes comitissa" granted land at Tarragona to "Bertrando de Castalet" by charter dated 12 Jun 1162, subscribed by "Guilelmi, Rotberti filiorum eius"[2049].  "Agnes Terraconensis comitissa et filii mei Guillelmus et Robertus et Berengarius" donated property to the "Milicie Templi Salomonis" by charter dated 23 Dec 1166[2050].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis et Guilelmus de Tarrachona et Rotbertus et Berengarius filii Agnetis predicte et Sibilia uxor Guilelmi prenominati" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 9 Jul 1168[2051].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis…cum filiis meis Rotberto et Berengario" confirmed a donation by "Guilelmi filii mei" to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 1 Dec 1168[2052]

Robert & his second wife had four children: 

1.         GULIELMO (-killed in battle Tortosa [9 Jul/19 Sep] 1168).  "Rotbertus princeps Terrachone et coniux mea Agnes…cum filio nostro Guilelmo Bordet" granted property to "Arnallo Palomario" by charter dated 25 Jan 1151[2053].  A charter dated 7 Aug 1151 records the judgment in a dispute between Bernard Bishop of Tarragona and "Rodbertus et Guielmus de Aquilone" who had conquered the territory of Tarragona[2054].  "Agnes formerly wife of Robert Count of Tarragona and her son William Burdet" donated property to Tortosa by charter dated 6 Jun 1158[2055].  “Agnes comitissa de Terragona et filii mei Guillelmus et Ricardus et uxor ipsius Guillelmi” donated land “in termino de...Codoyn” to Santa Maria de Valldaura by charter dated 22 Dec 1160, subscribed by “Agnetis comitisse...Guillelmi filius eius, Ricardi fratris eius, Roberti[2056].  "Agnes comitissa" granted land at Tarragona to "Bertrando de Castalet" by charter dated 12 Jun 1162, subscribed by "Guilelmi, Rotberti filiorum eius"[2057].  "Agnes Terraconensis comitissa et filii mei Guillelmus et Robertus et Berengarius" donated property to the "Milicie Templi Salomonis" by charter dated 23 Dec 1166[2058].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis et Guilelmus de Tarrachona et Rotbertus et Berengarius filii Agnetis predicte et Sibilia uxor Guilelmi prenominati" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 9 Jul 1168[2059].  A charter dated 19 Sep 1168 records the will of the deceased "William of Tarragona"[2060].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis…cum filiis meis Rotberto et Berengario" confirmed a donation by "Guilelmi filii mei" to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 1 Dec 1168[2061].  The wording of this last charter suggests that Gulielmo had predeceased the document, although this is not stated expressly in the text.  His death in Tortosa is confirmed by the latter dated 1171 written by [his youngest brother] “Berengarius de Tarragona” to Alfonso II King of Aragon, notifying him of the death of “fratrem meum Robertum de Tarragona” and requesting the king to restore the honor of Tarragona to “Vuillelmo de Tarragona nepote meo” on the basis that “pater eius...Vuillelmus de Tarragona frater meus” had been the king´s faithful knight and was killed on the king´s service (in Tortosa)[2062]m (before 22 Dec 1160) SIBILA, daughter of --- (-after 9 Jul 1168).  “Agnes comitissa de Terragona et filii mei Guillelmus et Ricardus et uxor ipsius Guillelmi” donated land “in termino de...Codoyn” to Santa Maria de Valldaura by charter dated 22 Dec 1160, subscribed by “Agnetis comitisse...Guillelmi filius eius, Ricardi fratris eius, Roberti[2063].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis et Guilelmus de Tarrachona et Rotbertus et Berengarius filii Agnetis predicte et Sibilia uxor Guilelmi prenominati" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 9 Jul 1168[2064].  Gulielmo & his wife had one child: 

a)         GULIELMO (-after 1171).  Alfonso II King of Aragon wrote to “Guillelmo de Tarragona” by letter dated 1170 rejecting his claim to succeed to Tarragona, which the king granted to the archbishop[2065].  “Berengarius de Tarragona” addressed Alfonso II King of Aragon by letter dated 1171, notifying him of the death of “fratrem meum Robertum de Tarragona” and requesting the king to restore the honor of Tarragona to “Vuillelmo de Tarragona nepote meo” on the basis that “pater eius...Vuillelmus de Tarragona frater meus” had been the king´s faithful knight and was killed on the king´s service, that “Robertum fratrem meum” had been accused by his enemies of responsibility for the death of the archbishop of Tarragona “in terra vestra”, that by testament Robert had appointed “Guillelmo de Tarragona suo nepoti” as his heir, and if Gulielmo died without heirs “suæ sorori”, and reciting some of the circumstances of the death of the archbishop[2066]

2.         RICARDO (-[11 Jan 1160/12 Jun 1162]).  “Agnes comitissa de Terragona et filii mei Guillelmus et Ricardus et uxor ipsius Guillelmi” donated land “in termino de...Codoyn” to Santa Maria de Valldaura by charter dated 22 Dec 1160, subscribed by “Agnetis comitisse...Guillelmi filius eius, Ricardi fratris eius, Roberti[2067]

3.         ROBERTO (-[1170/71]).  Robert, his wife Ines and son Guillermo, granted Salou for repopulation by charter dated 14 Jul 1157, witnessed by "Guillelmus Burdet, Agnes, Robert Burdet II"[2068].  “Agnes comitissa de Terragona et filii mei Guillelmus et Ricardus et uxor ipsius Guillelmi” donated land “in termino de...Codoyn” to Santa Maria de Valldaura by charter dated 22 Dec 1160, subscribed by “Agnetis comitisse...Guillelmi filius eius, Ricardi fratris eius, Roberti[2069].  "Agnes comitissa" granted land at Tarragona to "Bertrando de Castalet" by charter dated 12 Jun 1162, subscribed by "Guilelmi, Rotberti filiorum eius"[2070].  "Agnes Terraconensis comitissa et filii mei Guillelmus et Robertus et Berengarius" donated property to the "Milicie Templi Salomonis" by charter dated 23 Dec 1166[2071].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis et Guilelmus de Tarrachona et Rotbertus et Berengarius filii Agnetis predicte et Sibilia uxor Guilelmi prenominati" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 9 Jul 1168[2072].  "Agnes comitissa Terraconensis…cum filiis meis Rotberto et Berengario" confirmed a donation by "Guilelmi filii mei" to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 1 Dec 1168[2073].  “Berengarius de Tarragona” addressed Alfonso II King of Aragon by letter dated 1171, notifying him of the death of “fratrem meum Robertum de Tarragona” and requesting the king to restore the honor of Tarragona to “Vuillelmo de Tarragona nepote meo” on the basis that “pater eius...Vuillelmus de Tarragona frater meus” had been the king´s faithful knight and was killed on the king´s service, that “Robertum fratrem meum” had been accused by his enemies of responsibility for the death of the archbishop of Tarragona “in terra vestra”, that by testament Robert had appointed “Guillelmo de Tarragona suo nepoti” as his heir, and if Gulielmo died without heirs “suæ sorori”, and reciting some of the circumstances of the death of the archbishop[2074]

Chapter 9.    URGELL

 

 

A.      COMTES de URGELL 992-1231

 

 

The county of Urgell was situated in the Pyrennean foothills to the east of the county of Pallars and west of the county of Cerdanya.  The county of Urgell was conquered in the 830s by Seniofredo, father of Guifré [I] "el Pilós/el Velloso/the Hairy" who was installed as comte de Barcelona in 878 (see Chapter 2.A).  Guifré [I] was confirmed as comte de Cerdanya i Urgell in 870 by Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks.  Urgell passed to Guifré´s son Seniofredo [I], after whose death in 948 without surviving male issue the county passed to his brother Sunyer [I] Comte de Barcelona.  The county of Urgell was held by Sunyer´s successors together with the counties of Barcelona, Girona and Osona, until it passed to Armengol [I], younger brother of Ramon Borrell [I] Comte de Barcelona, who is the first comte shown below in Part A.  The comtes de Urgell were studied by Monfar in 1853[2079].  His book is still useful because it reproduces primary source documents which have not been located elsewhere, in particular the testaments of the 12th century comtes.  However, Monfar rarely cites sources to justify his own statements about family relationships and many of his details, especially relating to the early generations of the family, are inconsistent with the primary sources which have been consulted during the preparation of the present document.  His work should therefore be used with caution. 

 

 

ARMENGOL [I] de Barcelona, "él de Córdoba", son of BORRELL [II] Comte de Barcelona & his first wife Ledgarda [de Toulouse] ([973/77]-Córdoba 1 Sep 1010, bur Ripoll).  “Borellus…comes et marchio…filios meos Raymundo et Ermengode” ordered the security of “castro…Cardona”, constructed by “avus meus Wifredus comes et marchio”, by charter dated 9 Apr 986, subscribed by “Geribertus vicecomes…Gocefridus frater Borelli comes[2080].  "Arnaldo, Ermengaudo prolem Borrellum comes…" subscribed a charter dated 26 Sep 989 under which "Borrello…comes atque marchio" sold property to Sant Cugat del Vallés[2081].  He succeeded his father in 992 as Comte de Urgell.  The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Ermengaudo comite" to "comitatu Orgullense"[2082].  The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Ermengaudus comes Irgeldensis" was killed in battle against the Muslims and that his head was taken away by the victors[2083].  "Ermengaudus…comes et marchio" donated revenue from Andorra to the monastery of San Cerni by charter dated 13 Jun 1007[2084].  The testament of “Ermengaudus...comes et marchio”, dated 28 Jul 1010, appointed “...Guillelmus vicecomes” among his executors, and made bequests to religious houses[2085].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 1010 of “Ermengaudus comes Urgelli[2086]

m (before 11 Jun 1001) GERIBERGA, daughter of --- (-[before 1017]).  Armengol and his wife "Geriberga" sold property to a vassal by charter dated 11 Jun 1101[2087].  Her origin is not known.  She is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[2088] as Tetberga, (presumably on the basis that "Geriberga" is a mistranscription in the document cited above) [daughter of Rotbold [II] Comte de Provence & his wife Eimilde de Gevaudan], but the basis for this speculative parentage is not known.  The date of her death is not known.  However, the charter dated 22 Apr 1037 (quoted below) suggests that Ramon Borrell Comte de Barcelona (who died in 1017) acted as comte d´Urgell at some stage during the minority of her son Comte Armengoll [II].  If that is correct, it is likely that Geriberga died before 1017. 

Armengol [I] & his wife had [three] children: 

1.         [ESTEFANIA (-after 19 Dec 1037).  A charter of Santa Maria de Gerri dated Apr 22 [1013] names "Guilelmus comes et uxor mea Stephania comitissa"[2089].  The parentage of Estefania is not known, but it has been suggested that she was the daughter of Armengol [I] Comte de Urgell.  The basis for this speculation is not known.  "Stephania…cometissa et filio suo Bernardo chomite" donated property to Santa Maria de Gerri, for the souls of "suscensoribus nostrorum vel Ramundo comite filio Goldergoto et Suniario filio Goldergoto, Wilelmo comite filio Ermetruit", by charter dated 30 Dec 1035[2090].  "Domnus Bernardus Guilelmi…comes vel marchio et Stefania mater sua" sold "Bardina de…villa…Burgi" to "Miro" by charter dated 19 Dec 1037[2091]m GUILLERMO [I] Conde de Pallars-Subirà, son of SUNYER [I] Conde de Pallars & his first wife Ermentrude --- (-before 30 Dec 1035).] 

2.         ARMENGOL [II] de Urgell "el Pelegrino" (1009-Jerusalem after 12 Oct 1039, bur Jerusalem, Church of the Holy Sepulchre).  He succeeded his father in 1010 as Comte de Urgell.  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "Ermengaudus" held the county of Urgell for 28 years and died in 1038[2092].  It is likely that Ramon Borrell Comte de Barcelona (who died in 1017) acted as regent for Urgell during the early part of the minority of Armengol [II].  This conclusion is indicated by the charter dated 22 Apr 1037 which records that “Borrellus Urgellensis (comes) et marchio” granted “castrum et villam de Artesia” to “Mir Arnallo de Ceruaria”, subscribed by “Ermengaudus comes, Borelli donationes feci firmare...[2093].  The subscription suggests that the original donation was granted earlier by Comte Ramon Borrell, presumably as regent, the date of the document relating to the subscription confirmation by Armengoll [II].  After Comte Ramon Borrell died, his role was adopted by his widow while Armengol [II] was still a minor: “Ermengaudus...comes et marchio...cum Ermesinde...comitissa et filio suo Berengario...comes et marchio” donated property at “podio de Sicxo...[et] Campo de Rasio” to the church of Sant Miquel de Montmagastre by charter dated 28 Sep “anno XV regnante Roberto rege” [equivalent to 1010, but presumably misdated because of the absence the second donor´s husband who was alive until 1017], witnessed by “Bremundo vicecomitis Cardonensis, Arnallus Mironis de Tost, Trasuarii de Capoladi, Reimundus filio suo...[2094].  "Ermengaudo…comes et marchio" granted "alodes…in comitato Orgello in apenditio de Sancto Azisclo…in villa Ortoneoves" to "Atto" by charter dated 28 Feb 1029, subscribed by "…Guillemo vicecomite…"[2095].  “Ermengaudus...comes simul cum conjuge mea Belischita quæ vocant Constancia” donated property to Urgell Sant Saturnin by charter dated 28 Dec 1033[2096].  "Ermengaudus…chomes marchio et uxori mea Constancia comitissa" granted privileges to the inhabitants of Santa Licinia by charter dated 2 Jul "anno V regnante Enrico rege", transcribed 3 May "A.

a)         ARMENGOL [III] de Urgell "el de Barbastro" ([1032/33]-killed in battle [Feb/Mar] 1065, bur Ager Sant Pere).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "Ermengaudus filius eius…dictus de Barbastre" succeeded "Ermengaudus" in 1038, and died in 1065[2108].  His date of birth is estimated on his being described as 15 years and 10 months old in the charter dated 4 Apr 1048 which is quoted below.  He succeeded his father as Comte de Urgell, under the regency of his mother until 1049.  "Ermengaudus…chomes marchio et uxori mea Constancia comitissa" granted privileges to the inhabitants of Santa Licinia by charter dated 2 Jul "anno V regnante Enrico rege", transcribed 3 May "A.

i)          ARMENGOL [IV] de Urgell "el de Gerp" ([1050]-Gerp 15 or 28 Mar 1092)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "Ermengaudus de Gerb filius eius" succeeded "Ermengaudus…dictus de Barbastre" in 1065, and died in 1092[2130].  As Armengol is recorded as married in a document dated to 1063 (assuming that this is correctly dated), it is likely that he was born from his father´s first marriage, although this has not yet been corroborated by any primary source.  He succeeded his father in 1065 as Comte de Urgell

-         see below

ii)         ISABEL de Urgell (-1071 before 20 Dec, bur Monastery of San Miguel de Cuxà).  Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by a testament of Armengol [IV] Comte de Urgell, cited by Monfar, under which the testator bequeathes his county "al infante don Pedro su sobrino hijo del rey d´Aragon" if his own son and brothers died[2131].  The date of her marriage suggests that she must have been born from her father´s first marriage, but this has not yet been corroborated by any primary source.  Her second marriage is indicated by a document addressed by "comes Ermengaudus" to the comte de Cerdanya under which he promises that if he dies childless his property would be inherited by "germanam meam Elisabet coniugem tuam"[2132].  In citing this document, Monfar misinterprets it as indicating that Isabel was the daughter of Comte Armengol [IV] and that her husband was "Guillen Jordan, penultimo conde de Cerdanya, que murio en el año 1102"[2133].  Chronology dictates that this must be incorrect.  “Willelmus Ceritanensis...comes” donated property to Cuxà, for the soul of “quondam uxoris meæ Elizabeth”, by charter dated 20 Dec 1071[2134].  No primary source has been identified which confirms conclusively that the first wife of King Sancho of Aragon was the same daughter of Comte Armengol [III] as the wife of Comte Guillem Ramon de Cerdanya.  Nevertheless, this co-identity provides the best explanation of the documents cited, on the basis of the following argument.  Firstly, the undated document (quoted above), under which Comte Armengol [IV] promised his county to his sister Isabel if he died childless, must be dated to before 20 Dec 1071 when Isabel is recorded as deceased.  Secondly, Pedro, son of Sancho I King of Aragon by his first wife, issued charters in his own name in 1086, which indicates that he had reached the age of majority and therefore places his birth to before 1070 at the latest and so probably before the issue of that undated document (another source enables the dating of his birth more precisely to [1068/69]).  Thirdly, it is most likely that King Sancho (of obviously superior rank to Comte Guillem Ramon) would have married the oldest sister of Comte Armengol [IV].  Fourthly, if that is correct, the wife of Comte Guillem Ramon (if a separate person) would have been a younger sister, junior in rank to any descendants of her older sister the wife of King Sancho, and therefore an unlikely choice as successor to Urgell if Pedro de Aragón was already alive.  Fifthly, Pedro´s suitability as a candidate to succeed to Urgell is demonstrated by Comte Armengol [IV]´s testament which names him as fallback choice if the testator´s son and brothers all predeceased him.  If the co-identity is correct, Isabel´s first marriage must have been annulled or she and her first husband otherwise separated but the circumstances of, or justification for, this annulment/separation are not known.  m firstly ([1065], separated/annulled [1070]) as his first wife, SANCHO I King of Aragon, son of RAMIRO I King of Aragon & his first wife Gerberge [Ermesenda] de Foix ([1042/43]-Huesca 4 Jun 1094).  m secondly ([1071]) as his second wife, GUILLEM RAMON [I] Comte de Cerdanya, son of RAMON GUIFRÉ [I] Comte de Cerdanya & his wife Adelaida --- (-1095, after 7 Oct).

Armengol [III] & his [second] wife had [four] children:

iii)        RAMON de Urgell (-[before 1171]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Monfar names "Guillen, Ramon y Berenguer" as three sons of Armengol [III] without citing the primary source on which this information is based, but adding that the identity of their mother and their dates of death are uncertain[2135].  If the document cited above is correct, in which their brother Armengol [IV] promised succession of the county to his sister Isabel, these brothers must have died before 1071 (assuming her date of death is correct as shown above).  This assumption appears contradicted by a first testament of Armengol [IV] cited by Monfar under which the testator bequeathes his county to "Ramon, Guillen y Berenguer sus hermanos, y si estos no viviesen…al infante don Pedro su sobrino hijo del rey d´Aragon" if his own son died[2136].  The apparent contradiction of these two documents cannot be explained.  The tight chronology of the marriages of Armengol [III] and the births of his children Armengol [IV] and Isabel suggest that his younger children must have been born from his second marriage. 

iv)       GUILLEM de Urgell (-[before 1171]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Monfar names "Guillen, Ramon y Berenguer" as three sons of Armengol [III] without citing the primary source on which this information is based, but adding that the identity of their mother and their dates of death are uncertain[2137].  If the document cited above is correct, in which their brother Armengol [IV] promised succession of the county to his sister Isabel, these brothers must have died before 1071 (assuming her date of death is correct as shown above).  This assumption appears contradicted by a first testament of Armengol [IV] cited by Monfar under which the testator bequeathes his county to "Ramon, Guillen y Berenguer sus hermanos, y si estos no viviesen…al infante don Pedro su sobrino hijo del rey d´Aragon" if his own son died[2138].  The apparent contradiction of these two documents cannot be explained.  The tight chronology of the marriages of Armengol [III] and the births of his children Armengol [IV] and Isabel suggest that his younger children must have been born from his second marriage. 

v)        BERENGUER de Urgell (-[before 1171]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Monfar names "Guillen, Ramon y Berenguer" as three sons of Armengol [III] without citing the primary source on which this information is based, but adding that the identity of their mother and their dates of death are uncertain[2139].  If the document cited above is correct, in which their brother Armengol [IV] promised succession of the county to his sister Isabel, these brothers must have died before 1071 (assuming her date of death is correct as shown above).  This assumption appears contradicted by a first testament of Armengol [IV] cited by Monfar under which the testator bequeathes his county to "Ramon, Guillen y Berenguer sus hermanos, y si estos no viviesen…al infante don Pedro su sobrino hijo del rey d´Aragon" if his own son died[2140].  The apparent contradiction of these two documents cannot be explained.  The tight chronology of the marriages of Armengol [III] and the births of his children Armengol [IV] and Isabel suggest that his younger children must have been born from his second marriage. 

vi)       SANCHA de Urgell .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  The tight chronology of the marriages of Armengol [III] and the births of his children Armengol [IV] and Isabel suggest that his younger children must have been born from his second marriage.  A charter dated 5 Oct 1091 records a dispute between the abbots of Sant Pere de Rodes and “sancti Stephani Balneolis cœnobii” in the court of “Ugo...comes...conjuge mea...Sancia[2141]m HUG [II] Comte de Empúries, son of PONCE [I] Comte de Empúries & his wife Adelaida de Besalú (-before 20 Jul 1128). 

3.         [RAMON de Urgell (-after 31 Dec 1030).  “...Miro proli Guillelmi vicecomitis, Raimundus proli Ermengaudi comitis...” subscribed the charter dated 31 Dec 1030 under which “Ermengaudus Urgellensis comes et marchio” donated property to the church of Urgell[2142].  The precise parentage of Ramon has not been confirmed.  However, it appears that he would have been too young to subscribe this charter if he had been the son of Comte Armengol [II].  In addition, his name appears in a junior position in the list of subscribers, which suggests a less important place in the Urgell comital family.  The most likely possibility is that he was a younger son of Armengol [I].] 

 

 

ARMENGOL [IV] de Urgell "el de Gerp", son of ARMENGOL [III] "él de Barbastro" Comte de Urgell & his [first wife Adelaida de Besalú] ([1050]-Gerp 15 or 28 Mar 1092).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "Ermengaudus de Gerb filius eius" (named after the castle which he built) succeeded "Ermengaudus…dictus de Barbastre" in 1065, and died in 1092[2143].  As Armengol is recorded as married in a document dated to 1063 (assuming that this is correctly dated), it is likely that he was born from his father´s first marriage, although this has not yet been corroborated by any primary source.  He succeeded his father in 1065 as Comte de Urgell.  “Sancia comitissa et Ermengaudus proles Ermengaudi...meus prevignus” donated property to Ager Sant Pere, in memory of “domnus Ermengaudus comes Urgellensis...in Ispania interfectus a sarracenis, postea inde a suis fuit levatus et ad civitatem Barbastri...[et] ad castrum Ageris...ecclesiæ sancti Petri sepultus”, by charter dated 12 Apr 1065, subscribed by “...Berengarii Ermengaudi, Arnalli Mironis, Mironis vicecomitis...[2144].  "Ermengaudus comes atque Lucia comitissa" donated "castrum de Almenara" to "Arnald Dalmad et uxori tua Ermengards" by charter dated 19 Jun 1063 (although this appears misdated if the other dates shown here are correct)[2145].  "Comes Ermengaudus" promised the comte de Cerdanya that, if he died childless, his property would be inherited by "germanam meam Elisabet coniugem tuam", by undated document, but presumably dated to before 20 Dec 1071 when Isabel, wife of Guillem Ramon Comte de Cerdanaya, was deceased[2146].  "Ermengaudus comes Urgelensis et Luciana comitissa uxor eius" confirmed that "castro de Pilzano" had been given by "pater meus Ermengaudus comes" to "Sanctiæ comitissæ filiæ Ranimiri regis", by charter dated 23 Apr [1072/73][2147].  "Ermengaudus comes proles condam…comitis Barbastri…Ermengaudi, comitisse namque Adalaidis meeque coniugis" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de la Seu d´Urgell by charter dated 29 Aug 1087[2148].  Monfar cites a testament of Armengol [IV] under which he bequeathes his county to "Ramon, Guillen y Berenguer sus hermanos, y si estos no viviesen…al infante don Pedro su sobrino hijo del rey d´Aragon" if the testator´s own son died[2149].  As the document (as cited by Monfar) does not name the testator´s younger son, it is likely that it was dated to before his second marriage.  Monfar cites another testament of "Ermengaudi de Gerp comitis et marchionis Urgelli" but gives no details of the text of the document[2150].  A Fragmentum historicum in the cartulary of Alaon records the death in 1092 of “Ermengaudus de Gurb[2151].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 1092 of “Ermengaudus comes Urgell.[2152].  The martyrology of Solsona Santa Maria records the death "Id Mar" of “comes Ermengaudus in castro de Gerb[2153]

m firstly (before 19 Jun 1063) LUCIA, daughter of --- (-before 1079).  "Ermengaudus comes atque Lucia comitissa" donated "castrum de Almenara" to "Arnald Dalmad et uxori tua Ermengards" by charter dated 19 Jun 1063[2154].  "Ermengaudus comes Urgelensis et Luciana comitissa uxor eius" confirmed that "castro de Pilzano" had been given by "pater meus Ermengaudus comes" to "Sanctiæ comitissæ filiæ Ranimiri regis", by charter dated 23 Apr [1072/73][2155]

m secondly ([1079]) ADELAIDE de Provence Ctss de Forcalquier, daughter of [GUILLAUME [VI] BERTRAND Comte de Provence et de Forcalquier & his second wife Adelais de Cavanez] (-1129).  "Ermengaudus comes proles condam…comitis Barbastri…Ermengaudi, comitisse namque Adalaidis meeque coniugis" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de la Seu d´Urgell by charter dated 29 Aug 1087[2156].  The Histoire Générale de Languedoc records her parentage and marriage but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[2157].  "Adalais comitissa Fulcheriensis et mater mea Adalais et filius meus Willelmus marchio Provincie" restored "mediatem…castri…Lurs" to the bishop of Sisteron by charter dated 1110[2158]

Armengol [IV] & his [first] wife had one child:

1.         ARMENGOL [V] de Urgell "el de Mayeruca" ([1071/75]-14 Sep 1102)The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "filius eius Ermengaudus de Moyeruca" succeeded "Ermengaudus de Gerb filius eius" in 1092[2159].  According to Monfar, Armengol was born from his father´s first marriage.  He cites no primary source on which this statement is based[2160], although the timing of Armengol´s likely birth date (based on his marriage before 1095) suggests that it is probably correct.  He succeeded his father in 1092 as Comte de Urgell.  “Ermengaudus...comes Urgelli...Maria comitissa filioque nostro...Ermegaudo” donated “omnibus nostris dominicaturis...in omni nostre honore sive in Urgello sive in Castella” to Santa Maria de Solsona by charter dated [25 Mar 1101/24 Mar 1102][2161]Ermengaudus comes et marchio et uxor eius comitissa Maria” settled a dispute between Ager Sant Pere and “Arnallus Raimundi nepos Arnalli Mironi de Tost” by charter dated 10 Jan 1102[2162]Ermengaudus comes” donated “ecclesiam de Biosca...Sancte Marie” to Santa Maria de Solsona by charter dated 31 Mar 1102[2163].  A Fragmentum historicum in the cartulary of Alaon records the death in 1102 of “Ermengaudus de Molgeruxa[2164]m (before 21 May 1095) [as her first husband,] MARÍA Pérez Señora de Valladolid, daughter of conde PEDRO Ansúrez, Conde in Toro and Zamora, Santa María de Carrión, Cabezon, Saldaña y Liébana & his second wife Eilo Alfonso (-after 1129).  Her origin is deduced from the charter dated 5 Apr 1129 under which "Comitissa Maior Petriz" donated property to the monastery of San Zoilo de Carrión naming "meo sobrino comite Ermengot"[2165].  It is also suggested by a charter dated 1 Nov [1106/07] which records a gift by "comes Petrus" to "Ermengaudum nepotem suum"[2166].  Monfar dates the marriage to before 21 May 1095, the date of a charter under which Conde Pedro donated property to Valladolid, confirmed by "conde don Fernan Ruiz de Castro, don Armengol conde de Urgel y el conde don Alvar Fañez Minaya" all of whom he says were sons-in-law of the donor[2167].  “Ermengaudus...comes Urgelli...Maria comitissa filioque nostro...Ermegaudo” donated “omnibus nostris dominicaturis...in omni nostre honore sive in Urgello sive in Castella” to Santa Maria de Solsona by charter dated [25 Mar 1101/24 Mar 1102][2168]Ermengaudus comes et marchio et uxor eius comitissa Maria” settled a dispute between Ager Sant Pere and “Arnallus Raimundi nepos Arnalli Mironi de Tost” by charter dated 10 Jan 1102[2169]She may have married secondly Rodrigo ---, as discussed further in the document CASTILE & LEÓN NOBILITY (1).  Armengol [V] & his wife had three children: 

a)         ARMENGOL [VI] de Urgell "el Castellano" (Valladolid 1096-28 Jun 1154, bur Nuestra Señora de Valbuena)His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 1 Nov [1106/07] which records a gift by "comes Petrus" to "Ermengaudum nepotem suum"[2170].  He succeeded his father in 1102 as Comte de Urgell, under the regency of his maternal grandfather Pedro Ansúrez.

b)         TERESA de Urgell.  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  Monfar names "Teresa [mujer de] Guillen Amat Folc vizconde de Cardona" as one of the daughters of Armengol [V][2171].  This supposed husband has not otherwise been identified.  As Monfar incorrectly identifies the other supposed daughters of Armengol [V], there is no reason to suppose that he is any more accurate in identifying the husband of Teresa.  m GUILLEM BERNAT, heir to the county of Cerdanya, son of ---. 

c)         ESTEFANIA de Urgell (-after 15 Feb 1143).  "Regina Don Urraka tocius Ispaniæ Ildefonsi magni Inperatoris filia" granted the villa of Cevico de la Torre to "mea cogermana Domna Estefania comitis Ermegodis filia" by charter dated 30 Jun 1119[2172].  The family relationship between Estefania and Queen Urraca has not been established, unless it relates to the possible descent of Estefania´s first husband from the family of the kings of León.  "Ferrando Garciez" granted arras to "uxori meæ Estefania Ermegoz comitis Ermegodis filiæ", including over property inherited from "altera muliere Tigridia", by charter dated 12 Nov 1119[2173].  Alfonso VII King of Castile granted various properties to "comiti Roderico Gonzaluez et uxori tue comittisse Stephanie Armengol et…comiti Roderici Martinez et uxori tue comitisse Urraca" by charter dated Jul 1135[2174].  "Comes Rudericus Gundisalui" granted arras to "coniugi mee comitissa domna Steuania" by charter dated 6 Sep 1135[2175].  "Stephania…comitissa bonæ memoriæ Armengoldi comitis filiæ" founded the monastery of Santa María de Valbuena by charter dated 15 Feb 1143, witnessed by "domna Urraca Ferrandiz comitissa, Martinus Ferrandiz, domna Sancia Ferrandiz, Petrus Ferrandiz, Gutterius Ferrandiz, Rodericus Ferrandiz…"[2176]m firstly (contract 12 Nov 1119) as his [second/third] wife, FERNANDO García [de Castro] Señor de Hita y Uceda, [2177][illegitimate son of GARCÍA de Castilla King of Galicia & his mistress ---] (-[killed in battle] [1134]).  m secondly (before Jul 1135) conde RODRIGO González de Lara Señor de Lara y Liebana, son of GONZALO Núñez & his wife Goto (-[1143]). 

Armengol [IV] & his second wife had two children:

2.         GUILLEM de Urgell (-Avignon 1129).  "Adalais comitissa Fulcheriensis et mater mea Adalais et filius meus Willelmus marchio Provincie" restored "mediatem…castri…Lurs" to the bishop of Sisteron by charter dated 1110[2178].  Monfar names "Guillermo" as the son of Armengol [IV] by his second marriage, citing no primary source on which the statement is based, and adds that he inherited his mother´s property and was called "conde de Niza"[2179].  He succeeded as Comte de Forcalquier

-         COMTES de FORCALQUIER

3.         [SANCHA] de Urgell .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  Monfar names "Sancha" as the daughter of Armengol [IV] by his second marriage but cites no primary source on which the statement is based[2180]

 

 

ARMENGOL [VI] de Urgell "el Castellano", son of ARMENGOL [V] "él de Mayeruca" Comte de Urgell & his wife María Pérez Señora de Valla (Valladolid 1096-28 Jun 1154, bur Nuestra Señora de Valbuena)His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 1 Nov [1106/07] which records a gift by "comes Petrus" to "Ermengaudum nepotem suum"[2181].  “Ermengaudus...comes Urgelli...Maria comitissa filioque nostro...Ermegaudo” donated “omnibus nostris dominicaturis...in omni nostre honore sive in Urgello sive in Castella” to Santa Maria de Solsona by charter dated [25 Mar 1101/24 Mar 1102][2182].  He succeeded his father in 1102 as Comte de Urgell, under the regency of his maternal grandfather Pedro Ansúrez.  "Comes Petrus Assur filius…mandante Saldania et Capizon" donated property to Valladolid Santa María, for the soul of "uxori meæ comitissa Eiloni", by charter dated 17 Sep 1114, confirmed by "…Eilo Rudrikiz, comes Ermen Gaudus, Enderkina Rudrikiz…"[2183].  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensis comes cum comitissa uxor mea…Arsen" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de la Seu d´Urgell by charter dated 18 Aug 1126, subscribed by "Petri vicecomitis…"[2184].  "Ermengaudus Urgelensis comes…cum coniuge mea Elvira Rodriguez" donated property to Valladolid Santa María dated 7 Sep 1135, as evidenced in a charter of Queen Violante dated 15 Mar 1276[2185].  "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli et marchio cum domna comitissa coniux mea…Helvire Rodriz atque Ermengaudus iunioris filio meo" donated property to Santa Maria de Poblet by charter dated 23 Feb 1139[2186].  "…Comes Fernandus de Gallecia, Comes Urgelli Ermengaldus, Comes Osorius Martinz, Comes Ramirus Froilaz…" subscribed the charter dated 1 Jul 1140 under which King Alfonso VII donated various property between Salamanca and Zamora to Santiago de Compostela[2187].  The testament of “Ermengaudus...comes Urgellensis”, dated 24 Mar 1144, named “comitem Roricum et uxorem meam comitissam...Albiram et comitem Paliarensem Arnaldus Mironis et Artallum comitem...” as executors, placed “omnem alium honorem in baiulia...Rorici comitis cum uxore mea et filio meo Ermengaudo[2188].  "Ermongod Ermogodez de Urgel" donated property in "Riba de Doro" to Santa María de Rivula by charter dated 1145[2189].  Mayordomo of Alfonso VII King of Castile 25 Mar 1146-2 May 1146.  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 1154 of “Ermengaudus comes in Castella[2190].  The martyrology of Solsona Santa Maria records the death "IV Kal Jul" 1154 of “comes Urgellensis in Castella[2191]

m firstly (1119 [divorced/separated]) [as her first husband,] ARSENDA de Cabrera, daughter of GUERAU [II] de Cabrera Vescomte de Girona i Ager & his wife Elvira ---.  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensis comes cum comitissa uxor mea…Arsen" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de la Seu d´Urgell by charter dated 18 Aug 1126, subscribed by "Petri vicecomitis…"[2192].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  According to Monfar, she was "de los vizcondes de Ager", adding that her father´s identity is not known, but he cites no primary source to corroborate his statements[2193].  Fernández-Xesta-Vázquez suggests that Arsenda was divorced from her husband and married secondly Galcerán de Sales[2194].  Galcerán`s wife is named Arsenda in an 1166 document, which also specifies that she bore the title “comitisse” (“Gaucerandus de Salis” restored property, donated by “pater meus condam Arnallus Iohannies”, to Sant Joan de les Abadesses by charter dated 29 Sep 1166, subscribed by “Gaucerandi de Salis, Arssendis comitisse uxoris eius...[2195]).  Arsenda could not have been entitled to this mode of address from her marriage to Galcerán as there is no indication that he ever bore the comital title.  The strongest indication that Fernández-Xesta Vázquez’s suggestion is correct is provided by the Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium which records the death in 1183 of "comes Urgelli Ermengaudus [VII]" [son of Comte Armengol [VI] and his first wife Arsenda de Cabrera] "cum fratre suo Gaucerando de Sales apud Valentiam a Christianis"[2196].  Another possible interpretation of the sibling relationship between Comte Armengol [VII] and Galcerán [II] de Sales is that the latter was the illegitimate son of Comte Armengol [VI].  However, that is unsatisfactory as it leaves open the identity of the first husband of Galcerán [I]’s wife: no other countess named Arsenda has been identified at the time besides the wife of Armengol [VI]. 

m secondly (before 7 Sep 1135) ELVIRA Rodríguez, daughter of RODRIGO González Señor de Lara y Liebana & his first wife Infanta Sancha de Castilla (-8 Aug 1159).  "Ermengaudus Urgelensis comes…cum coniuge mea Elvira Rodriguez" donated property to Valladolid Santa María dated 7 Sep 1135, as evidenced in a charter of Queen Violante dated 15 Mar 1276[2197].  "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli et marchio cum domna comitissa coniux mea…Helvire Rodriz atque Ermengaudus iunioris filio meo" donated property to Santa Maria de Poblet by charter dated 23 Feb 1139[2198]

Mistress (1): ---.  The name of Armengol´s first mistress is not known.  

Mistress (2): ---.  The name of Armengol´s third mistress is not known. 

Armengol [VI] & his first wife had [four] children:

1.         ARMENGOL [VII] de Urgell "el de Valencia" ([1120/30]-murdered Requena 11 Aug 1184, bur monastery of Bellpuig de les Avellanes).  "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli et marchio cum domna comitissa coniux mea…Helvire Rodriz atque Ermengaudus iunioris filio meo" donated property to Santa Maria de Poblet by charter dated 23 Feb 1139[2199]He succeeded his father in 1154 as Comte de Urgell

-        see below

2.         ISABEL SIBILA de Urgell (-before [1176/77]).  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the testament of "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli", dated 18 Jun 1177, which names "...Guillermum de Cardona nepotem meum…alius nepos meus filius Guillermi de Sancto Martino…Guillermus…alius nepos meus…Ermengaudus filius sororis mee Marie de Almenara…Dulcia comitissa uxor mea"[2200].  Her name is confirmed by the charter dated to [1176/77] under which her son "Guillelmus de Cardona filius Raimundi Fulchonis qui iam fuit et filius Elisabet femine qui iam fuit" swore allegiance to Sant Vicenç de Cardona[2201]m RAMON Folc [III] de Cardona Vescomte de Cardona, son of RAMON FOLC [II] Vescomte de Cardona & his wife Guillelma --- (-1176). 

3.         [ESTEFANIA de Urgell (-after 1144).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and [first] marriage has not yet been identified.  Her supposed second marriage is indicated by a charter dated 29 May "Era 1251" (1212) which names "Armengol comes Urgelli avunculus eius" referring to "Bernaldo Roco duci et signifero" (her supposed son by her second marriage)[2202].  However, no children of "Bernardo Roco" are named as possible heirs of Armengol [VII] Comte de Urgell in case of failure of his own descendants, despite the fact that he names three other nephews.  The conclusion is probably therefore that the mother of Bernardo [II] Roco was an illegitimate daughter of Comte Armengol [VI] and not his daughter Estefania (see below).  If her second marriage is correct, Estefanía de Urgell must have been repudiated by her first husband, although no other indication that this is the case has yet been found.  m [firstly] as his first wife, ARNAU MIRÓN [I] Conde de Pallars-Jussà, son of ARNAU [I] Conde de Pallars & his first wife Almodis de Cerdanya (-(-[1174/15 Sep 1177]).  [m secondly BERNARD Roco, son of ---.]]   

4.         [daughter (-before 18 Jan 1177).  m GUILLEM de San Marti, son of ---.]  One child: 

a)         GUILLEM de San Marti (-after 18 Jan 1177).  The testament of "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli", dated 18 Jun 1177, names "...Guillermum de Cardona nepotem meum…alius nepos meus filius Guillermi de Sancto Martino…", recording that the former should grant the latter "castrum de Linerola et villam de Padriz et villam de Remolins" should he inherit the county of Urgell, in the event of the testator´s direct descendants dying without surviving issue[2203].  It is assumed that this document should be interpreted as meaning that Guillem de San Martin´s mother was a sister of the testator.  However, the testament provides for the succession of "alius nepos meus…Ermengaudus filius sororis mee Marie de Almenara" if Guillem de Cardona died without surviving issue, ignoring the rights of Guillem de San Martin who, if the order of beneficiaries named is indicative, would then have been the older surviving nephew.  This difficulty with the document cannot be explained. 

Armengol [VI] & his second wife had one child:

5.         MARIA de Urgell (-13 Jan, 1196 or after).  "Petrus Ruderici filius comiti" donated land "in Gormezes" to Burgos Cathedral, with the consent of "neptis mee Marie de Almenar", by charter dated to [1166/80][2204].  Her name, parentage and marriage are indicated by the testament of "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli", dated 18 Jun 1177, which names "...alius nepos meus…Ermengaudus filius sororis mee Marie de Almenara…"[2205].  The primary source which confirms the name of her husband has not yet been identified.  Señora de Almenara.  m (before 1172) LOPE López de Vizcaya Señor de Miranda de Ebro, son of LOPE Díaz Conde de Haro Señor de Vizcaya & his second wife Aldonza Rodríguez (-[1178/82]).  

Armengol [VI] had one [probably illegitimate] child by [Mistress (1)]:

6.          RODRIGO Garzado (-after 1190).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   He is not mentioned as possible heir in the testament of his half-brother Armengol [VII] Comte de Urgell dated 18 Jun 1177.  The question must therefore arise whether he was illegitimate, rather than the child of his father´s second marriage. 

Armengol [VI] had one [probably illegitimate] child by [Mistress (2)]:

7.          [daughter .  Her parentage and marriage are suggested by a charter dated 29 May "Era 1251" (1212) which names "Armengol comes Urgelli avunculus eius" referring to "Bernaldo Roco duci et signifero"[2206].  As no children of "Bernardo Roco" are named as possible heirs of Armengol [VII] Comte de Urgell in case of failure of his own descendants, it is suggested that the mother of Bernardo [II] Roco was an illegitimate daughter of Comte Armengol [VI].]  m BERNARD Roco [I], son of ---.  One child: 

a)         BERNARD Roco [II] (-after 29 May 1212).  His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 29 May "Era 1251" (1212) which names "Armengol comes Urgelli avunculus eius" referring to "Bernaldo Roco duci et signifero"[2207]

 

 

ARMENGOL [VII] de Urgell "el de Valencia", son of ARMENGOL [VI] "el Castellano" Comte de Urgell & his first wife Arsenda de Cabrera ([1120/30]-murdered Requena 11 Aug 1184, bur monastery of Bellpuig de les Avellanes).  "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli et marchio cum domna comitissa coniux mea…Helvire Rodriz atque Ermengaudus iunioris filio meo" donated property to Santa Maria de Poblet by charter dated 23 Feb 1139[2208]He succeeded his father in 1154 as Comte de Urgell.  "Ermengaudum comitem Urgellensem" and "Geraldum de Cabraria" confirmed agreement relating to "castro de Albesa" by charter dated 27 Jan 1156, which names "Guillermi Poncii avii istius Geraldi"[2209].  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensium comes et marchio cum dompna comittissa…Dulcia coniuge mea" granted property to vassals by charter dated 26 Sep 1157[2210].  He served Fernando II King of León in the reconquest of Alcántara in 1166, and was his Mayordomo 21 Nov 1167-Mar 1173, Jun 1175-Sep 1175 and 1 May 1179-19 Jan 1184.  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensis comes et eius coniux Dulcia comitissa illorumque filius Ermengaudus" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 26 Jun 1170[2211].  The testament of "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli" is dated 18 Jun 1177 and names "filium nostrum Ermengaudum…filiam majorem meam…Marquesa…filia mea minor…Miracle...Guillermum de Cardona nepotem meum…alius nepos meus filius Guillermi de Sancto Martino…Guillermus…alius nepos meus…Ermengaudus filius sororis mee Marie de Almenara…Dulcia comitissa uxor mea"[2212].  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "comes Urgelli Ermengaudus [VII]" ruled his county for 33 years and was killed "cum fratre suo Gaucerando de Sales apud Valentiam a Christianis" in 1183[2213].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records 1184 “Ermengaudus comes, Gaucerandus de Sales”, without specifying that this was the year of their deaths[2214].  The martyrology of Solsona Santa Maria records the death "III Id Aug" 1184 of “interfectus...Ermengaudus comes Urgellensis a malis hominibus prope Valentiam[2215]

m (1157 before 26 May) DULCE de Foix, daughter of ROGER [III] Comte de Foix & his wife Jimena de Barcelona (-15 Feb or 25 Dec 1209, bur monastery of Bellpuig de les Avellanes).  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensium comes et marchio cum dompna comittissa…Dulcia coniuge mea" granted property to vassals by charter dated 26 Sep 1157[2216].  According to the Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium, "comes Urgelli Ermengaudus [VII]" married "neptem…domini Raimundi-Berengarii…Comitis Barchinonæ ac Principis Aragoniæ"[2217].  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensis comes et eius coniux Dulcia comitissa illorumque filius Ermengaudus" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 26 Jun 1170[2218].  An epitaph in the church of the monastery of Santa Maria de Bellpuig records the burial there of "Dulcia Urgelli Comitissa, Raymundi Berengarii Comitis Barcinonensis et Aragonum Principis ex sorore et Rogerio Fuxensi Comite…neptis, Ermengaudi Comitis Urgelli…coniux"[2219].  “Ermengadus comes Urgellensis et Alvira comitissa” granted “pug de Asfa…[et] kastrum Sancti Vicencii quod est ad radicem Montis Clari in valle Andorra” to "Arnallo de Kastrobono" by charter dated 2 Oct 1190, signed by "…Dulcie comitisse…"[2220].  The martyrology of Solsona Santa Maria records the death "XV Kal Mar" of “Dulcia Urgellensis comitissa[2221]

Armengol [VII] & his wife had three children: 

1.         ARMENGOL [VIII] de Urgell ([1158]-16 Oct 1209, bur San Ilario).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium names "Ermengaudum" as son of "comes Urgelli Ermengaudus [VII]" and his wife, when recording that he succeeded his father[2222].  "Ermengaudus…Urgellensis comes et eius coniux Dulcia comitissa illorumque filius Ermengaudus" donated property to the monastery of Poblet by charter dated 26 Jun 1170[2223].  The testament of "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli" is dated 18 Jun 1177 and names "filium nostrum Ermengaudum…"[2224].  He succeeded his father in 1184 as Comte de Urgell.  “Ermengadus comes Urgellensis et Alvira comitissa” granted “pug de Asfa…[et] kastrum Sancti Vicencii quod est ad radicem Montis Clari in valle Andorra” to "Arnallo de Kastrobono" by charter dated 2 Oct 1190, signed by "…Dulcie comitisse, Arnalli de Kastro Bono, Gaucerandi de Prinos, Raimundi filii eius…"[2225].  A charter dated 2 Oct 1190 records an agreement between “dominum comitem Urgellensem Ermengallum” and “Arnallum de Kastro Bono” concerning repairs to "kastrum de Civitate"[2226].  The testament of "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli" is dated 16 Oct 1209 and names "manumissores…Alviram comitissam Urgelli uxorem meam et Guillelmum…vicecomitem Cardone et Guillelmum de Cervaria et Guillelmum de Peralta", appoints "filiam meam Aurenbiax" as his heir, and in case she died childless (in order) "Marquesiam sororem meam…Miracle sororem meam…Guillelmum de Cardona consanguineum meum" as his successors, the document making it clear that his surviving wife Elvira was the mother of his daughter[2227].  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "Ermengaudum" ruled as count for 26 years and died in 1208 without leaving sons[2228].  The martyrology of Solsona Santa Maria records the death "XVII Kal Nov" 1209 of “Ermengaudus...Urgellensis comes” and his burial “in ecclesia Sancti Ilarii[2229]m ([1178]) as her first husband, ELVIRA Pérez, daughter of PEDRO [Manrique de Lara & his first wife Infanta doña Sancha de Navarra] (-after Jul 1220).  “Comitissa Gelovira Petri…cum viro meo domno Armengaudo” donated property to León cathedral by charter dated 1182[2230].  “Ermengadus comes Urgellensis et Alvira comitissa” granted “pug de Asfa…[et] kastrum Sancti Vicencii quod est ad radicem Montis Clari in valle Andorra” to "Arnallo de Kastrobono" by charter dated 2 Oct 1190[2231].  Her parentage is also suggested by the charter dated 1228 under which her daughter "Don Orembiax…condesa de Urgel" donated property "en Bretavislo en el Cerrato", inherited from "mie madre la condesa doña Elvira", to "don Nuño Pedrez filio del conde don Pedro, mio cormano", by charter dated Jul 1228[2232].  Although “cormano/congermano” is more often interpreted as cousin, under the suggested reconstruction shown here Nuño Pérez would have been Aurembiax´s maternal uncle, although born from her maternal grandfather´s third marriage and so born around the same time as Aurembiax herself.  Canal Sánchez-Pagín suggests that Elvira, wife of Armengol [VIII], was the daughter of Conde Pedro Alfonso (of the Vela family, see Chapter 25.B below)[2233].  However, Pedro Alfonso´s daughter Elvira is named in her mother´s 1156 testament and was probably born considerably earlier if her parents´ marriage is correctly dated to [1130].  She is therefore unlikely to have been the same person as the wife of Armengol [VIII], whose daughter´s birth is dated towards the end of the 12th century.  Sánchez de Mora suggests a possible explanation for all these apparent inconsistencies: Armengol [VIII] married twice, firstly “Elvira Pérez” (although Sánchez de Mora appears to accept that she was the daughter of Conde Pedro Alfonso), secondly “Elvira Núñez” who would have been the mother of Aurembiax and who Sánchez de Mora suggests could have been the daughter of Nuño Pérez de Lara (see below).  This would mean that “cormano” could be given its usual interpretation in the 1228 charter of Aurembiax, who would have belonged to the same generation as the beneficiary of that document.  It would also explain another document, dated 20 Apr 1228, under which Aurembiax granted property to “Fernando Álvarez, mio cormano, filio del conde don Alvaro[2234].  In addition, the dating of the birth of Aurembiax herself to [1196] is difficult to understand if she was the daughter of Elvira Pérez, married to her father already in 1182, but would be natural if she was the daughter of a second marriage.  It is recognised that, if Elvira Pérez was the daughter of Conde Pedro Manrique as suggested here, she would only have been about 12 years old at the time of the 1182 charter, presumably recently married, which suggests that this may not be a perfect fit for her parentage.  Another perspective on the marriage is provided by Monfar, who states that Elvira and her husband "tuvieron al principio…algunas discordias" before being finally reconciled, as confirmed by documents under which each promised not to harm the other, Comte Armengol nominating "Guillen de Cardona y Pedro Ferrandiz" as guarantors, the last document in the series being dated 11 Dec 1203[2235].  If this is correct, it would explain the considerable delay after their marriage before the birth of the couple´s daughter and would be consistent with Armengol only having one wife.  In conclusion, there appears to remain considerable uncertainty about the identity of the wife of Armengol [VIII] Comte de Urgell.  She gave possession of Urgell to Pedro II King of Aragon in 1209, on the death of her first husband without male heirs, in return for the king’s protection of her daughter’s rights.  She married secondly (before 14 Jan 1214) as his second wife, Guillem de Cervera, who defended his step-daughter’s rights to Urgell before Jaime I King of Aragon in 1228.  The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified.  Armengol [VIII] & his wife had one daughter:

1.         ARNAL JOAN .  He is named as father of Galcerán [I] de Sales in a charter dated 5 Apr 1157 which records the judgment between "ecclesiam Sancti Johannis" and "Gaucerandum de Sales", regarding "honorem de Aquaça quem Arnallus Johannis pater eius et Berengarius Arnalli avunculus predicti Gaucerandi" granted to the church[2390]m ERMESENDIS, daughter of --- (-before 31 Dec 1140).  Her name is confirmed by a charter dated 31 Dec 1140 under which [her son] "Gaucerandus de Sales filius qui fui Ermessendis femine" swore allegiance to Ramon Berenguer IV Comte de Barcelona for "castro de Ribes"[2391].  Arnal Joan & his wife had one child: 

a)         GALCERÁN [I] de Sales (-after 29 Sep 1166).  "Gaucerandus de Sales filius qui fui Ermessendis femine" swore allegiance to Ramon Berenguer IV Comte de Barcelona for "castro de Ribes" by charter dated 31 Dec 1140[2392].  A charter dated 5 Apr 1157 records the judgment between "ecclesiam Sancti Johannis" and "Gaucerandum de Sales", regarding "honorem de Aquaça quem Arnallus Johannis pater eius et Berengarius Arnalli avunculus predicti Gaucerandi" granted to the church[2393].  “Gaucerandus de Salis” restored property, donated by “pater meus condam Arnallus Iohannies”, to Sant Joan de les Abadesses by charter dated 29 Sep 1166, subscribed by “Gaucerandi de Salis, Arssendis comitisse uxoris eius...[2394]m as her second husband, ARSENDA, daughter of --- (-after 29 Sep 1166).  “Gaucerandus de Salis” restored property, donated by “pater meus condam Arnallus Iohannies”, to Sant Joan de les Abadesses by charter dated 29 Sep 1166, subscribed by “Gaucerandi de Salis, Arssendis comitisse uxoris eius...[2395].  The reference in this document to Arsenda as “comitisse” indicates that Galcerán (in relation to whom there is no indication that he ever bore the comital title) was her second husband and that the unnamed “conde”, from whom her entitlement to the title flowed, was her first husband.  Fernández-Xesta Vázquez suggests that Arsenda’s first husband was Armengol [VI] Comte de Urgel, who if that is correct must have divorced her[2396].  If that is correct, she was ARSENDA de Cabrera, [divorced/separated wife of ARMENGOL [VI] "el Castellano" Comte de Urgell,] daughter of GUERAU [II] de Cabrera Vescomte de Girona i Ager & his wife Elvira ---.  The strongest indication that this suggestion is correct is provided by the Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium which records the death in 1183 of "comes Urgelli Ermengaudus [VII]" [son of Comte Armengol [VI] and his first wife Arsenda de Cabrera] "cum fratre suo Gaucerando de Sales apud Valentiam a Christianis"[2397].  Another possible interpretation of the sibling relationship between Comte Armengol [VII] and Galcerán [II] de Sales is that the latter was the illegitimate son of Comte Armengol [VI].  However, that is unsatisfactory because it leaves open the identity of the first husband of Galcerán [I]’s wife: no other countess named Arsenda has been identified at the time besides the wife of Armengol [VI].  Arsenda’s first marriage is indicated by the charter dated 18 Aug 1126 under which "Ermengaudus…Urgellensis comes cum comitissa uxor mea…Arsen" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de la Seu d´Urgell[2398].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  According to Monfar, she was "de los vizcondes de Ager", adding that her father´s identity is not known, but he cites no primary source to corroborate his statements[2399].  Galcerán [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)          GALCERAN [II] de Sales (-killed in battle 11 Aug 1184).  The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records that "comes Urgelli Ermengaudus [VII]" ruled his county for 33 years and was killed "cum fratre suo Gaucerando de Sales apud Valentiam a Christianis" in 1183[2400].  The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records 1184 “Ermengaudus comes, Gaucerandus de Sales”, without specifying that this was the year of their deaths[2401]m ---.  The name of Galcerán’s wife is not known.  Galceran [II] & his wife had one child: 

(a)       ARNAU de Sales (-after 8 Nov 1204).  A charter dated 8 Nov 1204 records the settlement of a dispute between the abbot of Sant Joan de les Abadesses and “Arnallum de Salis ac uxor mea Alamanda nec non et filie nostre Saurina et Agnes” concerning “honore de Aquaza”, obtained by “Gaucerando de Salis” from “Raimundi Berengarii comittis Barchinonensis[2402]m ALAMANDA, daughter of ---.  A charter dated 8 Nov 1204 records the settlement of a dispute between the abbot of Sant Joan de les Abadesses and “Arnallum de Salis ac uxor mea Alamanda nec non et filie nostre Saurina et Agnes” concerning “honore de Aquaza”, obtained by “Gaucerando de Salis” from “Raimundi Berengarii comittis Barchinonensis[2403].  Arnau & his wife had two children: 

(1)       SAURINA de Sales .  A charter dated 8 Nov 1204 records the settlement of a dispute between the abbot of Sant Joan de les Abadesses and “Arnallum de Salis ac uxor mea Alamanda nec non et filie nostre Saurina et Agnes” concerning “honore de Aquaza”, obtained by “Gaucerando de Salis” from “Raimundi Berengarii comittis Barchinonensis[2404]

(2)       INES de Sales .  A charter dated 8 Nov 1204 records the settlement of a dispute between the abbot of Sant Joan de les Abadesses and “Arnallum de Salis ac uxor mea Alamanda nec non et filie nostre Saurina et Agnes” concerning “honore de Aquaza”, obtained by “Gaucerando de Salis” from “Raimundi Berengarii comittis Barchinonensis[2405]

 

 

 

H.      TOST

 

 

This family is reconstructed mainly from charters in the cartulary of Ager Sant Pere.  Its importance in the county of Urgell can be judged from Arnau Mir de Tost being listed before Mir Vescomte de Urgell in the subscribers to the charter dated 12 Apr 1065 which records donations in memory of Armengol [III] Comte de Urgell.  The extent of Arnau Mir´s property holdings can be gauged by the charter dated 4 Apr 1067, quoted below, which lists seven castles which he donated to Ager Sant Pere.  Numerous castles and other properties are also listed in his testament dated 11 Aug 1072.  Arnau Mir de Tost is not recorded in any of the documentation with the title vescomte.  However, the son of his older daughter Letgardis was later created vescomte de Ager, presumably in recognition of the property inherited from his maternal grandfather.

Campo de Rasio” to the church of Sant Miquel de Montmagastre by charter dated 28 Sep “anno XV regnante Roberto rege” [equivalent to 1010, but presumably misdated because of the absence the second

Chapter 10.  OTHER CATALAN NOBILITY

 

 

A.      ENTENZA (ENTENÇA)

 

 

José de Santiago indicates that this family owed its name to the castle of Entenza which was located in the county of Ribagorza[2470].  The source dated 2 Apr 1063 quoted below indicates that the Entenza area was granted to Mir Gombald by Arnau Mir de Tost and his wife (see Tost, above), although the document gives no indication of the service which was rewarded with this grant.  Santiago states that the castle was Moorish and granted to the Christian commander who was charged with its conquest.  However, he attributes the event to Alfonso I King of Aragon in 1118 (he does not refer to the 2 Apr 1063 grant)[2471].  It should be noted that Santiago’s account of the early generations of the family is unreliable: for example he confuses Arnau Mir de Tost with Artaldo [I] Conde de Pallars-Subirà (see the document ARAGON NOBILITY) when he says that the former married “Lucia hermana de Almodis condesa de Barcelona” (the error may have resulted from his inaccurate reading of Zurita[2472])[2473].  His difficulty is understandable.  The reconstruction of the Entenza family presents numerous challenges, compounded by the repeated use of the names Berenger, Bernat and Gombald.  Another difficulty is that the Entenza name was transmitted through the female line into the Empúries and Montpellier families, which continued to use the same family names, while the original male line family was still extant.  The outline shown below is an attempt to trace a path through these complications but should not be considered as definitive.

It has been suggested that the following person was a member of the Entenza family (see below).  If that is correct, the identity of her father is unclear. 

 

1.         ORIA [de Entenza] (-after 15 Sep 1177).  Lourdes Ascaso Sarvise says that Oria, wife of Arnaldo Mirón Conde Pallars, was “hija, al parecer, de Bernardo de Entenza, aunque Antonio Durán piensa que pudiera pertenecer a la familia de los Castillazuelo”, adding that she prefers the former theory because some of the properties which she donated to Casbas Santa María “podían provenir de la familia Entenza que poseía la baronía de Alcolea[2514]Santiago does not mention Oria as belonging to the Entenza family, and specifically says that Bernat de Entenza had only one child Jusiana (see above)[2515].  The identity of Oria’s father is therefore unclear if she was a member of the Entenza family.  "Domna Oria comitissa Palearensis" donated property to the church of San Salvador de Zaragoza, for the soul of "filii mei Raimundi comitis Palearensis", by charter dated 15 Sep 1177[2516].  Esteban Bishop of Huesca confirmed the foundation of the monastery of Casbas with the consent of “la condesa Aurea de Pallars” by charter dated 1182[2517]m [as his second wife,] ARNAU MIRÓN [I] Conde de Pallars-Jussà, son of ARNAU [I] Conde de Pallars & his first wife Almodis de Cerdanya (-(-[1174/15 Sep 1177]).

E.      MONTCADA (Second Dynasty)

 

 

Three brothers, parents unknown.  Shideler rebuts the conclusion of Rubió y Lluch and Miret y Sans that Guillem Ramon [I] was related to Ramon Guillem de Montcada, suggesting instead that the two families were unconnected and that Guillem Ramon's family originated in the county of Girona where the Montcada family had no connections[2656].

i)          PERE [I] de Montcada (-after 1263)No information has emerged to confirm the identity of Pere [I]’s mother.  The name of his supposed elder daughter Constanza suggests that Pere was born from his father’s second marriage.  Seneschal of Catalonia: Zurita records, in the context of the battle between “Ponce de Peralta y Bernaldo de Mauleon” in 1263, that “Don Pedro de Moncada” had succeeded “Don Guillen Ramon su padre” in the office of “Senescal en el Principado de Cataluña[2701]

The following family was presumably descended from the Tortosa branch of the Montcada family (see above), but the primary sources which confirm the precise relationships have not been identified. 

 

1.         RAMON de Montcada (-[1286/90]).  Senyor de Fraga.  m LEONOR de Urgell, daughter of PONCE de Cabrera Comte de Urgell & his second [bigamous] wife María Girón.  Ramón & his wife had one child: 

a)         GUILLEM de Montcada (-after 1304)His parentage is confirmed by his marriage contract dated 15 Apr 1282 quoted below.  Senyor de Fraga.  m (contract 15 Apr 1282) BEATRIX de Vintimille, daughter of GUILLAUME PIERRE de Vintimille & his wife Evdokia Laskarina (-before Apr 1304).  Pedro III King of Aragon acknowledged the marriage contract between “Raimundo de Montechateno domino de Fraga...Guillelmo de Montecateno filio vestro” and “domina Azchara infantissa de Grecia...dompne Beatricis filie sue” by charter dated 15 Apr 1282[2704].  Jaime II King of Aragon, at the request of “dompne Alaschare infantisse Grecorum”, ordered Guillem de Montcada to respect her rights to “los lugares de Zaidín y Vallobar por ser heredera de su difunta hija Beatriz” by charter dated 21 Apr 1304[2705].  The fact that her mother was her heir suggests that Beatrix died childless.  same person as...?  GUILLEM de Montcada (-1329).  Senyor de Fraga.  The chronology suggests that this was the same person as the husband of Beatrix de Vintimille, named above.  m TERESA de Ayerbe, daughter of PEDRO de Aragón Señor de Ayerbe & his wife Aldonza de Cervera. 

 

 

The primary source which confirms the precise relationship between the following person and the main family has not been identified. 

 

1.         SIMÓN de Montcadam BERENGUERA de Anglesola, daughter of ---.  Simón & his wife had one child: 

a)         CONSTANZA de Montcada .  Heiress.  m (before 1293) as his first wife, BERENGUER de Vilaragut Señor de Sanmartí y Subirats, son of --- (-after 1358). 

 

 

PERE [I] de Montcada, son of GUILLEM RAMON [III] de Montcada & his [second wife Constanza de Aragón] (-after 1263).  No information has emerged to confirm the identity of Pedro’s mother.  The name of his supposed elder daughter Constanza suggests that he was born from his father’s second marriage.  Seneschal of Catalonia: Zurita records, in the context of the battle between “Ponce de Peralta y Bernaldo de Mauleon” in 1263, that “Don Pedro de Moncada” had succeeded “Don Guillen Ramon su padre” in the office of “Senescal en el Principado de Cataluña[2706]

[m firstly ---.  The chronology suggests that Pere’s daughter Constanza was much older than her supposed siblings shown below, which in turn suggests the possibility of an earlier marriage.  This hypothesis could be tested against more detailed information on Pere’s known wife Sibila de Abarca, but no details have yet been found which identify her parents.] 

m [secondly] SIBILA de Abarca, daughter of ---.  She is named in secondary sources as the wife of Pere [I] but the primary source which confirms her marriage and family origin has not been identified.    

Pere [I] & his [first/second] wife had one child: 

1.         CONSTANZA de Montcada ([1235]-[1253/56])The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña names "la filla de Don Pedro de Moncada" as the first wife of "Aluaro…conte de Urgel"[2707].  The supposed date of her marriage suggests that Constanza was much older than her supposed siblings.  Maybe she was born from an earlier marriage of their father.  The Gesta comitum Barcinonensium records that "Alvaro" married firstly "filiam...Petri de Montecatano"[2708]m (1253) as his first wife, ALVARO de Cabrera Comte de Urgell, son of PONCE de Cabrera Comte de Urgell & his second [bigamous] wife María Girón (Mar 1239-Foix Mar 1267).   

Pere [I] & his [second] wife had [six] children: 

2.         PERE [II] de Montcada .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  The chronology of his descendants suggests that he was not the full brother of Constanza de Montcada.  Señor de Aitona y Soses. 

-        see below.  

3.         SIBILA de Montcada (-before 1300).  The Gesta comitum Barcinonensium records that "Ermangaudus", son of Alvaro Comte de Urgell, married "filiam Petri de Montecatano"[2709]m as his first wife, ARMENGOL [X] Comte de Urgell, son of ÁLVARO [II] Comte de Urgell [Cabrera] & his second wife Cécile de Foix (1260-Jul 1314). 

4.         [BERENGUERA de Montcada ([before [1260]?]-after 10 Oct 1299).  Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by the following document: the contract of marriage between "Saura", with the consent of "Jacobi…Regis Majoricarum, Comitis Rossilionis et Ceritaniæ et domini Montispessulani patris mei", and [her son] "nobilem virum Petrum Gaucerandi de Pinosio, filium et heredem nobilis viri Gaucerandi de Pinosio quondam", with the consent of "dominæ Berengeriæ matris meæ uxoris dicti patris mei quondam, et Domini fratris Guillelmi…Urgellitani Episcopi avunculi mei" is dated 10 Oct 1299[2710]Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Galceran de Pinós” and “Esclaramunda de Canet”, married “Berenguera de Moncada, germana del noble Pere de Moncada, lo qual casà ab Elisenda germana del dit Galceran”, by whom he had “Pere Galceran de Pinós...Bernat...Remon...Berenguer...Guillem”, “Sibilia” who married “Guillem de Portella senyor de la baronia de Portella”, and “Costansa y...Leonor”, noting that the children were named in his testament[2711].  The fact that Berenguera was recorded with a married daughter in 1294 suggests that she was born before [1260], which is consistent with her being the full sister of Pere [II], born towards the end of their father’s life.  This suggestion appears to be supported by her eldest daughter being named Sibila, presumably after Pere’s [second] wife.  m GALCERAN de Pinos, son of GALCERAN de Pinós & his wife Esclarmonda --- ([before 1255]-[3 Mar 1294/10 Oct 1299]).] 

5.         [--- de Montcada .  The family relationship of Ramon’s father with Berenguera de Montcada is indicated by the testament quoted below.  One possibility is that “Ramon” was the same person as “Guillem Ramon de Montcada”, son of Pere [II] de Montcada, who is named below.  m ---.]  One child: 

a)         RAMON de Montcada .  The testament of [his first cousin] “Pere Galceran de Pinós”, dated 16 Jul 1305, codicil dated 13 Mar 1311, revoked an earlier testament in favour of “...Remon de Moncada cosí nostre[2712]

6.         [OTT de Montcada (-after 1313).  Rüdt-Collenberg records that Ott de Montcada “oncle de Pere II de Pinos” [grandson of Berenguera, see above] was appointed Pere’s guardian in 1313[2713].  There are two possibiilties, depending on how the term “uncle/avunculus” should be interpreted in this case: (1) Ott was the brother of Berenguera, great-uncle of Pere [II] de Pinos and his oldest male relative at the time; (2) he was the same person as Ott [I] de Montcada, son of Pere [II] de Montcada, named below, and first cousin of Pere [II]’s father.] 

7.         [GUILLEM de Montcada (-after 1308).  Bishop of Urgell 1294-1308.  The 10 Oct 1299 charter, quoted above under his supposed sister Berenguera, names "nobilem virum Petrum Gaucerandi de Pinosio..." [Pere [I] de Pinós, son of Berenguera] and "dominæ Berengeriæ matris meæ uxoris dicti patris mei quondam, et Domini fratris Guillelmi…Urgellitani Episcopi avunculi mei".  Assuming that the term “avunculus” was used in this document in its strict sense of “maternal uncle”, Guillem was Berenguera’s brother.  On the other hand, Rüdt-Collenberg says that “Sobrequés Vidal suppose que l’évêque Guillem est le fils de Ramon de Moncada et de Marguerite de Narbonne[2714]No other verified reference to this couple Ramon/Marguerite has been found, although the name Ramon suggests a connection with the Tortosa branch of the Montcada family whose ancestor is recorded above.  As noted above, the sparse indications about Berenguera’s parentage connect her to Pere [I] de Montcada.  Guillem’s appointment as bishop in 1294 seems inconsistent with his being the son of Pere [II] de Montcada.] 

 

 

The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the following members of this family have not been identified, unless otherwise shown below. 

 

PERE [II] de Montcada, son of PERE [I] de Montcada & his [second] wife Sibila de Abarca The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  As noted above, the chronology of his descendants suggests that he was not the full brother of Constanza de Montcada.  Señor de Aitona y Soses. 

m [ELISENDA de Pinos, daughter of [GALCERAN de Pinós & his wife Esclaramunda ---] ([before 1275/80?]-).  Pinós’s 1620 narrative genealogy records that “Galceran de Pinos”, son of “Remon Galceran de Pinós”, married “Esclaramunda de Canet filla del noble Remon de Canet senyor de Canet”, by whom he had “Elisenda” who married “Pere de Moncada” by whom she had “Ot de Moncada” and “Elisenda” who married Jaime II King of Aragon[2715].  The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.  If it is right, Elisenda was probably born before [1275/80], based on the date of her daughter’s marriage.  If correct, that date suggests that, if the parentage suggested in the 1620 narrative is accurate, Elisenda was much younger than her brother Galceran de Pinós.  Another early 17th century narrative genealogy of the Pinós family identifies her family origin but confuses this couple’s children with those of Guillem Ramon [II] de Montcada who is named above: it records that “Brigida Guerau Pinós hija de Galcéran Guerau Pinós” married “Don Pedro de Moncada” by whom she had “tres hijos y dos hijas: el primero...Gastón...Señor de Moncada Lagostera y Vizconde de Bearne; el segundo Guillem Señor de las Baronías de Serós y Aytona; el tercero Don Pedro Señor de Fraga y Albalate[2716].]
