   Note: Son of Seniofredo and Ermesende SENIOFREDO (-before 26 Jun 885). "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"[78]. "Sesenanda, Sunicfredus, Wifredus comes, Radulfus comes, Miro comes" donated property for the souls of "Sunicfredi genitoris nostri vel domnæ Ermesinde genititricis nostræ" to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated Apr or May [878][79].

2. Title: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy - Counts of Roussillon
   Publication: Name: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CATALAN%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc23531387;
   Note: A. COMTES de ROUSSILLON The county of Roussillon was located in northern Catalonia, south of the city of Narbonne, to the north of what is today the frontier between France and Spain. The county was included in the “March of Spain” established by Charles I King of the Franks as a barrier against Muslim incursions from the south. As noted below, counts in Roussillon are recorded in primary sources from the early 9th century. The names of the early counts from the mid-9th to the mid-10th centuries suggest a family relationship with the comtes de Barcelona (see Chapter 2.A), but the precise connection if any has not been confirmed. The county fell within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the bishopric of Elna/Elne, in the archdiocese of Narbonne. Comte Gérard [II], last direct descendant of the comital family in the male line, bequeathed the county of Roussillon to Alfonso II King of Aragon by his testament dated 4 Jul 1172. Roussillon was transferred to France in 1659 under the Treaty of the Pyrenees which ended the war between France and Spain. SUNYER [II] . Comte de Roussillon. He is named in the charter which records the donation made by his son Comte Gausbert but no primary source has yet been identified which names Sunyer in his own capacity. m ERMENGARDA, daughter of ---. "Waldaldus…sedis Elenensis {Elne, Pyrénées-Orientales} et Gauzbertus comes" donated property to "domum Sanctae Eulaliae…matrem omnium ecclesiarum Russulionensium sive Confluentium" for the souls of "Suniario comite et uxori Ermengardis et Bencone comite et Almerado episcopo condam et…Franchone vicecomite et uxori suae Eirtsinde et Oddone vicecomite" by charter dated 10 Apr 931[1804]. Sunyer [II] & his wife had [five] children: a) GAUSBERT [I] (-after 10 Apr 931). Comte de Roussillon b) BENCIO [I] (-[4 Mar/1 Sep] 916). He succeeded as Comte de Empúries. c) ELMERAD (-920). Bishop of Elna. d) GUADAL (-947). Bishop of Elna. e) [ARSINDE (-before 10 Apr 931).
   
3. Title: Wikipedia - Sunyer II
   Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunyer_II,_Count_of_Empúries;
   Note: Sunyer II (c. 840–915) was the count of Empúries from 862 and Roussillon from 896 until his death. He was the son of Sunyer I of Empúries [He(Sunifred) and his brother Dela obtained the county of Empúries in 862 after Humfrid, margrave of Gothia, rebelled. They governed it together until Dela's death. In 878, the council of Troyes deposed Bernat of Gothia, who had held Roussillon since 865. It was given to Miro the Elder and, in 896, when Miro died, it passed by heredity to Sunifred. Together with Dela, he tried to occupy Girona, but their cousin, Wilfred the Hairy, stopped them. In 888, he travelled to Orléans to do homage to King Odo of France. In 891, he prepared a naval expedition to attack Moorish Almería. The campaign, however, ended in a truce.] This is a conflation of Sunyer II and Sunifred, (a different person); SUNIFREDO (-after 22 Apr 959). Comte [de Roussillon]. "Suniefredus comes" donated "alodem meum…in comitatu Russilionense in Valle-Asperi…in locum…Villareto" to the bishop of Elna by charter dated 7 Apr 942[1802]. "Matfredus vicecomes et uxor mea Adalaiz" sold property to Aimery Archbishop of Narbonne by charter dated 22 Apr 959, signed by "…Soniefredus comes…"[1803]. FMG He married a woman named Ermengarda, with whom he had the following issue: Bencion (d. 916), successor Gausbert (d. 931), successor of his brother Elmerat (d. 920), bishop of Elna Guadal (d. 947), bishop of Elna + Arsinde (Foundation for MedievalGenealogy)

   Note: Son of Guifre "el Vellosso" -Wilfred the Hairy SENIOFREDO [I] (-948). "Suniefredus comes" donated property to the monastery of San Pablo del Campo de Barcelona, for the souls of "genitore meo Wifredo comite et genitrice mea…Winedelde", by charter dated 11 Aug 939[152]. He succeeded his father in 897 as Comte de Urgell. "Suniefredus comes de Urgel et uxor mea Adalezi" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de Urgel by charter dated 12 Jul 936[153]. m ADELAIDA, daughter of ---. "Suniefredus comes de Urgel et uxor mea Adalezi" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de Urgel by charter dated 12 Jul 936[154]. Bofarull suggests that Adelaida was her husband´s niece, daughter of his brother Sunyer [I] Comte de Barcelona[155]. The latter´s daughter is named "Adalaiz comitissa que vocant Bona filia, filiam Suniarium comitem et Richildis chomitissam" in the charter dated 24 Jun [951] which records her donation to Ripoll Sant Joan[156], the title "comitissa" indicating that she was married to, or was widow of, a "comes" at the date of the document. However, Bofarull´s hypothesis appears to be based on nothing more than the fact that the two individuals bore the same name (which was not an uncommon one at the time), although it is correct that no "Adalaiz comitissa" has been identified at the time except for the wife of Seniofredo [I]. Seniofredo & his wife had one child: a) BORRELL de Urgell (-after 12 Jul 936). A record of the possessions of Santa Maria de Ripoll, undated but dated to the 10th century, names "Miro comis Cerdaniensis, Soniarius comis Barchinonensis vel Ausonensis…Borrellus filius Suniefredo comis Urgillitanensis…et domna Emma abbatissa" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria de Urgel by charter dated 12 Jul 936[157]. He presumably died before his father.
