The Crónica de Sampiro (interpolated, España Sagrada edition) records that “Adefonsus filius Domini Ordonii” married “Pampilona…uxorem ex illorum prosapia generis…Xemena” by whom he had “filios...Garseanum, Ordonium, Froilanum et Gundisalvum qui archidiaconus ecclesie Ovetensis fuit”[248]. The Historia Silense records that "filius eius Garsias" succeeded "rex Adefonsus" but died after three years[249]. The Chronicon Compostellani incorrectly names “Garsea” as son of King Ramiro I, adding that he reigned three years and one month[250]. "Adefonsus rex et Exemena regina" donated property near Lanzada which had belonged to "Hermegildus filius Petri et uxor sua Yberia", who has rebelled against the king, to Santiago de Compostela by charter dated 24 Jun 886, subscribed by "Exemena regina, Garsea, Hordonius, Froila"[251].

King Alfonso III and his wife "Ximena regina" donated property to Sahagún by charter dated 30 Nov 904, subscribed by "Garsia, Ordonius, Froila, Ranimirus, Gundisalvus", presumably their sons although this is not stated in the document[253]. "Adefonsus rex" donated property to Sahagún by charter dated 28 Apr 909, subscribed by "Vimara Froilani, Garsea, Ordonius, Gundisalvus, Froila, Ranimirus, Dunninus"[254]. He was imprisoned by his father at Gozón, suspected of plotting a rebellion with his father-in-law[255]. He succeeded his father in 910 as GARCÍA I King of Asturias and León, based at León. He led a successful expedition towards Toledo and Talavera in 911[256]. "Garsea princeps et Mumma domna regina" donated certain churches, including the church obtained by “tius noster domnus Nunnus de dato patris nostri”, to Eslonza monastery by charter dated 30 Aug 912, confirmed by “Ranimirus...”[257]. "Garseas Rex…cum uxore mea Munia domina" donated certain towns to Eslonza monastery by charter dated 13 Oct 913[258]. "Garseani…rex…cum congugie mea Muma doma regina" donated certain the town of Mutarraf to Eslonza monastery by charter dated 13 May 923 (presumably misdated), confirmed by "Ranimirus, Urraca regina…Gutierre Memendiz, Sesebutus Petri…"[259]. The Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records that "Garcias" died “morbo proprio Cemore” after reigning for three years and one month[260].

"Garsea princeps et Mumma domna regina" donated certain churches to Eslonza monastery by charter dated 30 Aug 912[262]. Her parentage is indicated by the Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, which names "socer…eius [=Garsea] Nunio" when recording his rebellion, implying from the context of the passage that the marriage took place before her husband's accession[263]. The Crónica de Sampiro (interpolated, España Sagrada edition) names García´s father-in-law “Munio Fredinandi”[264]. From a chonological point of view, no suitable Munio Fernández has been identified among the condes en Castilla and it appears more likely that Muniadomna´s father was Nuño Muñoz. "Garseas Rex…cum uxore mea Munia domina" donated certain towns to Eslonza monastery by charter dated 13 Oct 913[265].

Rather, Aragon was absorbed into the Pamplona entity when Galindo died in 922, while Sancho Garces I was still ruling - this, in part, led to the erroneous older pedigrees that made Toda, wife of Sancho into a sister of Galindo Aznar, and heiress of Aragon, when she was actually derived from the earlier Iniguez kings of Pamplona. Up until this point, Aragon had been only nominally a feudal dependent of Pamplona, but now it was regranted to Galindo's illegitimate son Guntoslo Galindez as the first of several subservient non-hereditary counts."³ GAV-30 EDV-30 GKJ-31.

     Wilfred or Wifred, called the Hairy, was Count of Urgell (870–897), Cerdanya (870–897), Barcelona (878–897), Girona (878–897), Besalú (878–897), and Ausona (886–897). He was responsible for the repopulation of the long depopulated no-man's land around Vic (the county of Ausona, a frontier between Christian and Muslim), the re-establishment of the bishopric of Vic, and the foundation of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll, where he is buried. Tradition claims he was born near Prades in the County of Conflent, now Rià, in Roussillon, France. Wilfred married Guinidilda of Toulouse. Their sons were Wilfred Borrel, Miró, Sunifred and Sunyer governed his realm jointly, recognising the eldest Wilfred Borrel, as primus inter pares, or "first among equals". They also had a daughter Emma, who became the first Abbess of the Abbey of Saint Joan de les Abadesses. Wilfred died in battle on 11 August 897.

     "[GUNHILD [Guinidilde] (-before 19 Feb 904). Wifredo "el Velloso" and his wife Winidilda donated property to Ripoll monastery by charter dated 27 Jun 875 which names "fratre meo…Seniofredo"[97]. According to Weir[98], the wife of Guifré I Conde de Barcelona was Gunhild, daughter of Baudouin I Count of Flanders. It is assumed that this is based on the Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium which records that Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks gave an unnamed daughter of the (unnamed) count of Flanders in marriage to "Pilosi" at the same time as granting him the county of Barcelona[99], although this source is unreliable in some points of detail concerning the family of the counts of Barcelona. Considering that the first count of Flanders was in 877 still in the process of consolidating his position in his newly founded county, it is not clear what contact he would have had with a count whose territory was so distant from his own sphere of activity, or the advantages he would have seen in such a dynastic marriage. The only known point in common between the two counts appears to have been that King Charles II "le Chauve" was suzerain of both. Gunhild is not shown among the children of Count Baudouin in Rösch[100]. This supposed Flemish origin is incorrect: Guinidilde´s true parentage is confirmed by charters dated 875, 877 and 878 under which "Winidildes commitissa" donated property "de comparatione de cuondam patrem meum…Seniofredo" to San Juan de Ripoll monastery[101]. A charter of her daughter Emma dated 19 Feb 904 specifies that her mother was dead[102].

; Per Genealogics:
     “Wifredo, called 'el Velloso' (the Hairy), was of Gothic lineage from the region of Carcassonne. He remained obscure until drawn into the historians' net by Sir Richard Southern, in _The Making of the Middle Ages._
     “Tradition claimed that he was born near Prades in the county of Conflent, now Rià, in Roussillon, France. According to legend, he was the son of Wifredo of Arriaount (or Wifredo of Arri), a county near Prades, and that his father was murdered by Salomón and Wifredo became his avenger, killing the assassin. However Ramón de Abadal's study claimed him to be the son of Sunifred I, conde de Barcelona, and of many other counties under Louis 'the Pious' and Charles 'the Bald', and this view is now more generally accepted. Sunifred was the son of Belló, count of Carcassonne during the reign of Charlemagne. Thus, as a descendant of Sunifred he was a member of the Bellonid dynasty. Wifredo was the count of Barcelona from 873 to 898, and created the tradition of hereditary passage of titles. In 877 he married Guinidilda, and they had three sons, all of whom would have progeny, and a daughter Emma who became an abbess. His son Wifredo II Borell would inherit the county without any interruption, and hold it from 898 to 914.
     “A number of primitive feudal entities developed in the _Marca Hispanica_ during the 9th century. They were generally self-sufficient and agrarian, but were ruled by a small military elite. The pattern seen in Catalonia is similar to that found in similar border lands or marches elsewhere in Europe.
     “Traditionally the count of Barcelona was appointed directly by the Carolingian emperor, for example the appointment of Berà (in 801). The appointment of heirs could not be taken for granted. However, with the rise of strong counts such as Sunifred (count from 844 to 849) and Wifredo, and the weakening of Carolingian, then French royal power, eventually the appointment of heirs became a formality. This trend resulted in the counts becoming de facto independent of the Carolingian crown under Borrell II in 985.
     “In the dynastic struggles that accompanied the three years between the death of Louis 'the Pious' in 840 and the Treaty of Verdun in 843, Bernard of Septimanie, the count of Barcelona (and many other margravates and counties: Septimanie, Girona, Narbonne, Béziers, Agde, Melgueil, Nîmes, and Toulouse) aligned with Pepin II of Aquitaine, while the Bellonids maintained their allegiance to Charles 'the Bald'. In 844, after taking Toulouse and capturing Bernard, Charles had him executed. In exchange for the fealty, Charles gave the dead count's honours of Barcelona, Girona, Narbonne, Nîmes, Agde, Béziers, and Melgueil to Sunifred.
     “In 848 Guillaume, son of Bernard, was named count of Toulouse and Empuries by Pepin II. He quickly moved to eliminate Sunifred and Sunyer. The Bellonid dynasty was revived slightly by the appointment of Dela and Sunyer II, sons of Sunyer I, to the countship of Ampurias in 862. In June 870 at an assembly at Attigny, Charles 'the Bald' made their cousins, Wifredo 'the Hairy' and his brother Mirón (known as 'the Old'), counts respectively of Urgell and Cerdanya, and Conflent. In that year, the mysteriously ill-chronicled Salomón, count of Urgell, Cerdanya, and Conflent, had died.
     “After becoming count of Urgell and Cerdanya in 870, Wifredo received the counties of Barcelona, Girona and Besalu in 878 from the Carolingian king of France, Louis 'the Stammerer'. His reign coincided with the crumbling of Carolingian authority and unity. He was thus the last count of the Hispanic March appointed by the French king and the first to pass his vast holdings as an inheritance to his sons (albeit sanctioned by the monarch).
     “Wifredo came into possession of Barcelona through his service to Charles 'the Bald' against the rebel Bernard of Gothia, count of Barcelona, Rousillon, and numerous other Septimanian counties. Wifredo, Mirón, their brother Sunifred (who became the abbot of Arles), and the viscount of Narbonne, Lindoi, marched against Bernard on behalf of the king and his son, Louis 'the Stammerer'. In March and April of 878, they defeated the nobles loyal to Bernard, including Sigebuto, bishop of Narbonne, and expelled all partisan priests from the church.
     “At the Council of Troyes in August 878, presided over by Pope John VIII and King Louis II 'the Stammerer', Wifredo was formally invested as count of Urgell and Cerdanya, Mirón as count of Conflent, Sunyer as county of Empurias, and Oliva II as count of Carcassonne. On September 11, Bernard was dispossessed of all his titles. The bishop of Elna, bishop of Urgell, bishop of Girona, and bishop of Barcelona were confirmed in their sees. Bernard's former possessions were given to Wifredo (Barcelona, Ausona, Besalu, and Girona) and Mirón (Roussillon). The counties of Narbonne, Béziers, and Agde were separated from that of Barcelona. Sunifred was made abbot of Arles and Riculf bishop of Elna. Wifredo immediately ceded Besalu to his brother Radulph.
     “After the investiture of 878, Wifredo's lands stretched from the Pyrenees to the coast, from Urgell and Cerdanya to Barcelona and Girona. This was the first time since the reign of his father (which ended in 849) that these different areas had been united politically and the only other time within that century. The land between these regions - Ripollés, Vall de Lord, Bergueda, Lluçanes, the Plana de Vic, Moianès, Guilleries, and Bagés - had long been depopulated, since the rebellion of Aissó.
     “Wifredo embarked on the process of repopulating these territories with immigrants from the heavily populated mountain regions - Pallars, Urgell, and Cerdanya - to which people had fled in the two centuries between the collapses of Visigothic and Carolingian authority. Wifredo's plan involved repopulating and subsequently annexing the counties to those he already controlled. Thus, Vall de Lord became part of Urgell and Berga came into Cerdanya. Wifredo created the county of Ausona from the remaining counties made up of Ripollés, Lluçanès, the Plana de Vic; and Guilleries - centred on Ausona (the city) - had a unique ethnic and cultural history whose population descended from an ancient historic Hispanic tribe. In 885 Wifredo designated a viscount to control the county of Ausona in his absence as it formed the frontier with the Muslim kingdoms to the south.
     “The ecclesiastic state of the region was no less isolated than its political state, the parishes of Bergueda and Vall de Lord coming within the control of the nearby diocese of Urgell. However, Wifredo had to re-establish the lapsed bishopric in Ausona. After consulting the archbishop of Narbonne in 886, he was given permission to install Gotmar, a priest, as bishop of Ausona. The new bishop immediately set about restoring the repopulated city and its cathedral which had been devastated and in ruins since the last Muslim conquest and the rebellion of Aissó.
     “The churches in the region flourished during this period, gaining much power and privilege. This included the right for monks to elect their own abbots as espoused by Saint Benedict. Wifredo founded two new monasteries: Santa Maria de Ripoll (880) and Saint Joan de les Abadesses (885). The Abbey of St. Joan de les Abadesses in the diocese of Vich (Catalunya) was founded by Wifredo and his wife Guinihilda to provide for their daughter Emma, who became the community's first abbess in 899 and was given immunity from lay jurisdiction by King Charles 'the Simple'.
     “When Louis 'the Stammerer' died in 879, the kingdom was divided between his two young sons: Louis III received the ancient northern partitions of the Merovingian kingdom, Neustria and Austrasia (including Lorraine). His other son Carloman received the southern partitions, Burgundy and Aquitaine (including Septimanie). The problems plaguing the throne were exacerbated when both Louis (in 882) and Carloman (in 884) died soon after their succession. Not wanting to crown Louis' remaining son Charles 'the Simple', who was only five, the nobles of France looked about for a powerful man who could defend the land from the fearsome Vikings and their vicious raids on the Channel and Atlantic coasts.
     “At the Assembly of Ponthion in 884, the Franks chose the Holy Roman Emperor Charles 'the Fat', who was already king of Germany and Italy. Charles, son of Louis 'the German', thereby became the first person since the death of Louis 'the Pious' to reign over the entire realm of his illustrious great-grandfather. He would also be the last.
     “Incapable of much, he was lethargic and probably suffered from epilepsy. In November 885 he raised a grand army to fight off the Norsemen besieging Paris. Instead, however, he chose to buy the Vikings off, paying them to attack Burgundy instead. He left Paris in December. He subsequently failed to deal with revolts in Swabia, Saxony, Thuringia, Franconia, and Bavaria. The nobles of the empire deposed him in 887, and he died two months later, in 888.
     “Charles' nephew Arnulf of Carinthia succeeded him in Germany, Berengar of Friuli succeeded him in Italy, and Odo succeeded him in France. The breakdown in royal authority and the dynastic change which accompanied it in France broke the empire in two. The Carolingian policy which empowered the counts at the beginning of the century was nonexistent by the end; the counts were de facto independent - especially in the outlaying regions like the _Marca Hispanica._
     “In the great tradition of their family, Wifredo, Mirón, Dela, and Sunyer II maintained their loyalty to the Carolingian monarchs until the death of Charles 'the Fat'. They visited the royal court in 886 to ask for privileges and precept to be granted to Teotario, bishop of Girona. Upon the death of Louis 'the Stammerer', however, this loyalty became largely nominal. When Louis' sons Louis and Carloman marched against Boso, king of Provence, the Catalan counts supported Carloman, but did not join the campaign. This was a far cry from the prompt action the family had taken against Bernard of Gothia. The counts became more interested in issues that directly affected them and did not attend the Assembly of Ponthion dealing with the Viking problem, which they regarded as meaningless to their domains,
     “The counts rejected Odo, successor to Charles 'the Fat', but they did not rise in favour of Charles 'the Simple', surviving son of Louis 'the Stammerer'. Odo was too absorbed with the Norsemen and those loyal to Charles 'the Simple' to be bothered with the far south of the realm.
     “In 886, a presbyter named Esclua, taking advantage of the absence of Teotardo, archbishop of Narbonne, was consecrated bishop of Urgell and expelled the titular Bishop Ingoberto with the tacit permission of Raymond I, count of Pallars-Ribagorza, and Wifredo. He complicated the situation further by declaring himself metropolitan of Tarraconensis, separating his diocese from Narbonne. Now acting as metropolitan, Esclua promptly removed Servus Dei from the bishopric of Girona.
     “Servus, who was rejected by Dela, Sunyer and Wifredo, but who had been consecrated by Teotardo, took refuge in the monastery of Bañolas. Esclua, with the help of the bishops of Barcelona and Vic, was consecrated as the new Premier Bishop of Girona. In 888, he resurrected the sees of Pallars and Empurias to repay Raymond, Sunyer and Dela for their support.
     “If at first Wifredo tolerated the dethronement of Ingoberto - there had been little love between them - he could not allow the metropolitan pretensions of Esclua to stand, because of his friendship with Teotardo. The independent dioceses were a method of securing political independence, and Wifredo opposed this. He could not allow the lands under his control to be affected by nobles or Church. However external pressures hampered him in taking action. By 883 or 884, the Muslims became increasingly uneasy over the expansion of the Christian counties to the north. Wifredo had established defensive positions or castles in Ausona at Cardona, Bergueda, and Vall de Lord; some were even in the Valle de Cervelló south of the river Llobregat. The frontier of the county of Barcelona passed north of Solsona, past Besora, Tantallatge, and Correà; that of Berga, past Sorba, Gargalla and Serrateix; and that of the county of Ausona past Cardona, Manresa, and Montserrat.
     “The Muslim ruler Banu Qasi fortified Lérida in response. Provoked by this, Wifredo attacked Lérida and the governor of the city, Ismail ibn Musa. The attack, however, was a disaster. The historian Ibn al Athis described the massacre of the attackers by the city's defenders. Buoyed by this success, Ismail's successor Lobo ibn Mohammed attacked Barcelona in 897. Wifredo died in battle on 11 August 897. He was buried in the monastery at Ripoli.
     “The weakening of Frankish royal authority in the Hispanic March is principally the result of the establishment of heredity in the succession of the counties rather than by choice of the monarch. In 895 Mirón 'the Old' died and his county of Roussillon passed, without interference from King Odo, to Sunyer II of Ampurias. In the same way, Wifredo was never confirmed by the monarch as count of Ausona. The kings had lost control of the counts. The importance of this custom in the Middle Ages cannot be overstated. As hereditary succession became the custom, it became accepted as law and there was nothing the kings could do. The counts had become sovereigns in their own dominions.
     “The lack, however, of a legal basis for heredity caused the early experiments in hereditary succession to be problematic. When Wifredo died in 897, his sons Wifredo II Borrel, Mirón 'el Joven', and Suniario I governed his realm jointly, recognising the eldest Wifredo Borrel, as _primus inter pares_ (first among equals).
     “However, when the succession came to their sons, this ideal broke down and the counts promptly transmitted their regions of governance to their descendants. Wifredo II Borrel and the youngest son jointly ruled over Barcelona, Girona and Ausona; Suniario I over Urgell; and Mirón II over Cerdanya, Conflent, and Berga.
     “Wifredo 'the Hairy' has become a figure of importance for contemporary Catalan nationalists. Nineteenth century European Romanticism looked to the medieval world for references and links to modern national and cultural identities, and in the context of Catalan nationalism and its search for its historical foundations in a distant and idealised past, Wifredo soon arose as a figure of independence, the de facto founder of the House of Barcelona, and, by purported extension, one of the forefathers of the latter Catalonia.
     “One of the legends that have arisen around him is that of the creation of the coat of arms from which the Catalan flag (the Senyera) derives today. After being wounded in battle (some versions say against the Moors; others, the Normans), the Frankish king Charles 'the Bald' rewarded his bravery by giving him a coat of arms. The king slid Wifredo's blood-stained fingers over the count's copper shield, and thus was the Senyera first born, with its four pallets in Gules on Or. As much as this legend is popular and extended, there is no historical evidence to support it.
     “Wifredo's actions as a Frankish vassal towards carving out his own domain from several counties and moving out of the sphere of influence of the Carolingian crown - coupled with his creation of the county of Osona and the restoration of the archbishopric of Vic - laid out the territorial and patrimonial base for the House of Barcelona, and hence has been identified with the creation of Catalonia, even though a written reference to such a territorial entity would not appear historically until more than two centuries later in the _Liber Maiolichinus de gestis Pisanorum Illustribus,_ a 12th century Pisan manuscript describing the raids of 1114 by Pisans and Catalans on the island of Majorca.”.⁴

     "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"[90]. 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")[91], 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"[92]. "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"[93]. “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[94]. 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[95]. 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”[96]. “Guifredus comes...et Winildis comitissa” donated property to Ripoll Santa Maria when “filium suum...Rodulfo” entered the monastery by charter dated 20 Apr 888[97]. “Wifredus...comes...et Widinildis comitissa” dedicated Ripoll Sant Pere by charter dated 25 Jun 890[98]. “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”[99]. A charter dated 21 Aug 897 names Wifredo and his wife Winidilda[100]. 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"[101]. 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[102]. 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"[103]. 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[104]. 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[105], 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[106], 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"[107]. 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[108]. 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"[109]. “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[110]. 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”[111]. “Guifredus comes...et Winildis comitissa” donated property to Ripoll Santa Maria when “filium suum...Rodulfo” entered the monastery by charter dated 20 Apr 888[112]. “Wifredus...comes...et Widinildis comitissa” dedicated Ripoll Sant Pere by charter dated 25 Jun 890[113]. “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”[114]. A charter dated 21 Aug 897 names Wifredo and his wife Winidilda[115]. 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"[116]."

Alphonse Comte de Toulouse and Guillaume [V] Seigneur de Montpellier agreed terms relating to the county of Melgueil by charter dated 1132, agreeing that they would agree the marriage of “filia Bernardi Melgoriensis comitis” in six years time[389]. Berenger Raymond Comte de Provence and Guillaume [V] Seigneur de Montpellier agreed terms relating to the marriage of “Beatrix filia sororis tuæ Guillelmæ”, provided that, if Beatrix died under the age of 12, Berenger Raymond would marry “filiam tuam”[390]. Under a charter dated 1135 “Berengarius.Raimundi filius Dulciæ comes Melgoriensis et marchio Provinciæ et…Beatrix filia Guillelmæ” agreed to pay a debt owed by "Bernardus comes pater Beatricis" to "Guillelmo Montispessulani filio Ermessendis" relating to the county of Melgueil[391]. She married secondly Bernard Pelet d'Alais, who succeeded as Comte de Melgueil by right of his wife. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated Mar [1145/46] under which "Beatrix Melgoriensis comitissa filia Guillelme et Bernardi, felicis memorie comitis Mergoriensis" and "Bernardus Peleti comes maritus hujus Beatricis" recognised obligations to "Guillelmo Montispessulani filio Ermessendis" previously agreed by "Bernardus comes, pater mei Beatricis"[392].
