Ramon Berenguer I, Count Of Barcelona
Ramon Berenguer I (1023–1076), called the Old ( ca, el Vell, french: le Vieux), was Count of Barcelona in 1035–1076. He promulgated the earliest versions of a written code of Catalan law, the Usages of Barcelona. Born in 1024, he succeeded his father, Berenguer Ramon I the Crooked in 1035. It was during his reign that the dominant position of Barcelona among the other Catalan counties became evident. Ramon Berenguer campaigned against the Moors, extending his dominions as far west as Barbastro and imposing heavy tributes (''parias'') on other Moorish cities. Historians claim that those tributes helped create the first wave of prosperity in Catalan history. During his reign Catalan maritime power started to be felt in the western Mediterranean. Ramon Berenguer the Old was also the first count of Catalonia to acquire lands (the counties of Carcassonne and Razés) and influence north of the Pyrenees. Another major achievement of his was beginning the codification of C ...

He was the son of Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona, and Almodis de La Marche. The ''Chronicle of San Juan de la Pena'' called him, "… exceeding brave and bold, kind, pleasant, pious, joyful, generous, and of an attractive appearance". Because of the extremely thick hair he had on top of his head, he was known as Cap d'Estop." He succeeded his father as co-ruler with his twin brother, Berenguer Ramon II in 1075. The twins failed to agree and divided their possessions between them, against the will of their late father.

Raymond Berengar Of Andria
Raymond Berengar of Anjou (between 1279 and 1282–1307) was the count of Andria and possibly Count of Provence and Prince of Piedmont. Raymond Berengar was the fifth son of King Charles II of Naples and Mary of Hungary. He was born in Provence during a brief return of his father to take command of a fleet there. His homeland is evidenced in his Provençal name and the name of his nurse, Adelasia of Aix-en-Provence. He was known to have been born after his brother Robert the Wise and no document of time places him in Naples for many more years. Consequently, he spent his childhood under the guardianship of William de Manoir in the cities of Aix, Sisteron, St Victor, near Marseilles, and Barjols. It is from Sisteron that a letter was sent, dated 2 May 1286, by him and his two elder brothers, Robert and Saint Louis of Toulouse, asking King Edward I of England for the release of their captive father. By the Treaty of Canfranc (29 October 1288), he was given as a hostage, along ...
