• Notes

  He was the son of Wilfred the Hairy and younger brother of the previous c o u n t o f B arcelona, Wilfred II Borrel. He worked jointly with his brothe r i n t h e g o vernment of the counties held by their father after his deat h i n 8 9 7 . H e did not reign independently until his brother's death in 9 11 . However, on the death of his uncle, Count Radulf I of Besalú, in 913 or 9 2 0 , a c o n flict emerged between Sunyer and his brother Count Miró II of C e r d a n ya over the succession of the County of Besalú. In exchange for th e t o t a l r enunciation of all claims on the County of Barcelona, Sunyer g av e u p h i s c laim on Besalú. In 947 Sunyer retired to monastic life and c e d ed t h e g overnment of his realms to his sons.
