[3929]
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")]. He conquered Cerdanya and Urgell in the 830s, checking the Moorish expansion. He was killed in a counter-attack by Guillaume, son of Bernard de Septimanie, in 849.
