Borrell from Osona

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borrell Territories of Osona.

Borrell was a Carolingian officer in the Spanish Mark in the 8th and 9th centuries. He is possibly the progenitor of the house of Barcelona .

In the year 798 the civitatem Ausonam is mentioned as the seat of the Burrello comiti , who was the count in the county of Osona . It is probably identical to the burellum that led a failed campaign against the Moorish Tortosa together with Margrave Berà around the year 809 . Borrell of Osona is also credited with Urgell and Cerdanya counties .

Borrell von Osona is considered to be the progenitor of the later Catalan-Aragonese dynasty, based on a document from Emperor Louis the Pious from 829. In it, the emperor confirmed his follower Sunicfredo ( Sunifred I of Barcelona ?) That he owned goods in the pago Narbonensis , which his father Bosrello (Borrell von Osona?) Had received from Emperor Charlemagne .
