Everything about County Of Emp Ries totally explained
The
County of Empúries or
Ampurias was a medieval county centred on the town of
Empúries and enclosing the Catalan region of
Peralada. It corresponds to the historic
comarca of
Empordà.
After the
Franks conquered the regions in 785, Empúries and Peralada came under the authority of the
County of Girona. Around 813, Empúries, with Peralada, became a county itself under
Ermengar. He and the other early counts were probably
Goths. In 817, Empúries was united to the
County of Roussillon. Thereafter until 989 except Empúries was attached to Roussillon. From 835 to 844,
Sunyer I ruled Empúries and Peralada while
Alaric I ruled Roussillon and
Vallespir.
At the death of
Gausfred I in 989, Roussillon and Empúries were separated. Gausfred's elder son,
Hugh I, received Empúries while
Giselbert I received Roussillon. Hugh's comital dynasty lasted until 1322, when
Empúries passed to a collateral branch of his family. The last count,
Hugh VI, sold the county to
Peter I of Ribagorza in 1325 for the barony of
Pego and the towns of
Xaló and
Laguar (all within the
Kingdom of Valencia). Peter lated exchanged it with
Raymond Berengar I for the county of
Prades in 1341. From that point on, Empúries was an
apanage of the
Crown of Aragon.
