House of Barcelona

The house Barcelona (Catalan Casal de Barcelona) was one of the most important medieval families with possession rule in much of southwest Europe.

The family was most likely of Count Borrell of Osona and not, as assumed in particular in the older literature, the Count Bello of Carcassonne from. A document from the year 829 suggests that Sunifred I. Count of Barcelona was a son Borrells. Bello of Carcassonne was most in line cognatischer an ancestor of the house, because he is the father Sunifreds was likely.

The Descendants Sunifreds came into the possession of most of the Catalan counties, especially the county of Barcelona, the County of Urgell, the county of Girona and the county Osona. 1131 was Berengar Raymond I ( Berenguer Ramón I) Count of Provence, etc., in 1162 his nephew Raymond ( Ramon ) as Alfonso II King of Aragon.

The family remained until 1245 in the possession of Provence (which they to Charles of Anjou inherited ) to 1410 in the possession of Aragon, the Kingdom of Majorca, and then Sicily (both went to the line Trastamara the House of Burgundy - Ivrea ) and some successor states of the Crusades ( Duchy of Athens, Duchy Neopatras ).
