  === Life Sketch ===
  Ramon Borrell (Catalan: Ramon Borrell, Spanish: Ramón Borrell) (972-1017) was count of Barcelona, Girona, and Ausona from 992. He was the son of Borrell II of Barcelona and Letgarda of Rouergue, and was associated with his father in ruling the counties from 988.
  
  In 993, he married Ermesinde of Carcassonne, with whom he had three children: Borrell Ramon (died young before 1017), Berenguer Ramon (c.1006), and Adelaide (or Godehildis) Ramon, who married firstly, Roger I of Tosny, and secondly, Richard, Count of Évreux.
  
  Between 1000 and 1002 Ramon had to deal with a number of incursions by Almanzor. However Almanzor died in 1002, and seeing an opportunity Ramon counter-attacked in 1003 leading an expedition to Lleida. This prompted a new raid on the county of Barcelona by Almanzor's son, Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar. This was defeated by an alliance of Christian forces at the Battle of Torà. Ramon was also present at the Battle of Albesa shortly thereafter.
  
  In 1010, with the Cordoban Caliphate crumbling into civil war, Ramon saw another opportunity. He organised a campaign, assisted by the bishop of Vic and Sal·la, bishop of Urgell, against the Caliphate with Ermengol I of Urgell and Bernard I of Besalú, and joined forces with Muhammad II of Córdoba. Their army destroyed the forces of Caliph Sulayman II and sacked Córdoba in May 1010, although Ermengol died as a result of the battle. Both bishop Arnulf of Vic and Sal·la, bishop of Urgell died on this campaign. On 2 June 1010, Ramon participated in the Battle of Aqbat al-Bakr on the side of the Muslim rebels as part of the Andalusian civil wars.
  
  In 1015 and 1016 Ramon made further expeditions to the rivers Ebro and Segre. The treasure obtained from these campaigns maintained the loyalty of his barons.
  
  Within the County of Barcelona he ensured the repopulation of the Segarra, Conca de Barberà and Camp de Tarragona. He was also the first Catalan ruler to mint his own coinage.
  
  At his death in 1017, he was succeeded by his son Berenguer Ramon under the regency of his mother. He was reportedly buried in the Barcelona Cathedral, but his grave was lost.

The Annales Barcinonenses name "Raimundus Barchinonensis comes, filius Borelli comitis" when recording his death[244]. His birth date is estimated from the charter dated 25 Jun 972, under which “Borrellus...comes et marchio et coniux nostra Ledgardis comitissa” sold “ecclesia de sancti Stephani...in puig de Granolers” to “Assolf”, the dating clause of which states “in anno primo quo natus est filius eius Raimundus”[245]. “Borellus…comes et marchio…filios meos Raymundo et Ermengode” ordered the security of “castro…Cardona”, constructed by “avus meus Wifredus comes et marchio”, by charter dated 9 Apr 986, subscribed by “Geribertus vicecomes…Gocefridus frater Borelli comes”[246]. "Borrellus…comes et marchio" exchanged property with "uxori mee Ermerud comitissa" which she held "in comitatu Urgellense" by charter dated 5 Sep 988 subscribed by "Raimundus comes filio Borrello comitis"[247]. He succeeded his father in 992 as Comte de Barcelona, Girona, i Osona. The testament of "Borellus comes" dated 24 Sep 993 appoints "filio meo Raimundo comite" to "comitatu Gerundense…[et] comitatu Barchinonense"[248]. He reversed the advances of al-Mansur and Abd-el-Malik, culminating in an attack on Córdoba 1010. “Raimundo…comiti et conjugi…Ermesendi” bought property from Petro Rogerio Bishop of Girona by charter dated 20 Nov 1015, subscribed by “Berengarius comes”[249]. The necrology of Girona records the death “IV Kal Mar…1016” (presumably O.S.) of “Raymundus comes”[250]. The Chronicon alterum Rivipullense records the death in 1017 of “Raymundus comes Barch.”[251]. m ([990/91]) ERMESINDE de Carcassonne, daughter of ROGER [I] de Comminges Comte de Carcassonne & his wife Adelais de Rouergue (-1 Mar 1058). "Remundus comes et marchio, Ermensides comitissa" donated property to Saint-Victor, Marseille by charter dated 11 Jun 996[252]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 2 Sep 1019 which names “Raymondus…comes Borreli comitis proles” and by which “Ermisindi…coniux eius comitissa, filia…comitis Carcasonensis Rodegarii” records her husband´s burial “infra canonicalem claustram S. Crucis sedis” and confirms a donation by “femina…Bellazez uxor quæ fuit Sesemundi fratris Seniofredi Gerundensis vicecomitis”, with the consent of “filio suo domno Barengario marchione comite…Amato vicecomite Gerundense…”[253]. “Raimundo…comiti et conjugi…Ermesendi” bought property from Petro Rogerio Bishop of Girona by charter dated 20 Nov 1015, subscribed by “Berengarius comes”[254]. “Ermesendis...comitissa simulque Berengarius prolis mei...comes ac marchio” donated “collo...de...Presa” to Sant Daniel de Girona, in accordance with the wishes of “viro meo domno Raimundo comite bona memoria”, by charter dated 16 Mar 1018[255]. "Ermessindis comitissa et Amato de castro Surice et Sunifredo de Riorubio, Gondebaldus de Besora, Lobeto de Celra" signed a document dated 12 Nov 1018 as executors of "condam Remundo comite et marchio"[256]. Regent during the minority of her son until early 1020s. She acquired considerable power during her regency, quarrelling with her son. She continued to be a disruptive influence in Catalonia until her death[257]. The testament of "Ermesindis comitissa", dated 25 Sep 1057, names "domnum Raymundum Berengarium comitem nepotem meum…domna Almodis comitissa coniuge vestra"[258]. The codicil of "domna Ermesindis comitissa", dated 6 Mar 1057 (O.S.), names "Guillermo Berengarii suo nepoti…Sancio suo nepoti…Bernardo Berengarii suo nepoti"[259]. Ramon Borrell [I] & his wife had [four] children: a) BERENGUER RAMON ([1000/05]-26 May 1035, bur Santa Maria de Ripoll). b) [--- de Barcelona (-killed in battle [1017/27]). c) [--- de Barcelona . The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes (written before [1034]) records that "Normanni, duce Rotgerio" (presumably identifiable as Roger [I] de Tosny, although he never bore the ducal or even comital title), who had been fighting Saracens in Spain, asked "comitissa Barzelonensi Ermensende…vidua" for the hand of her (unnamed) daughter[262]. This episode is dated to [1017/20], when Ermesinde was acting for her son Berenguer Ramon I “el Curvo” Comte de Barcelona during his minority. d) [--- . m ---.] One child:
