   Note: 2. ARSENDA de Cabrera (-[after 29 Sep 1166]). 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[1734]. "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…"[1735]. Fernández-Xesta Vázquez suggests that Arsenda was divorced from her husband and married secondly Galcerán de Sales[1736]. 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...”[1737]). 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"[1738]. 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 [firstly] (1119 [divorced/separated]) as his first wife, ARMENGOL [VI] "el Castellano" Comte de Urgell, son of ARMENGOL [V] Comte de Urgell & his wife comtesa María Pérez (Valladolid 1096-28 Jun 1154, bur Nuestra Señora de Valbuena). [m secondly GALCERÁN [I] de Sales, son of ARNAL JOAN & his wife Ermesendis --- (-after 29 Sep 1166).]
