The Lord of Caboet or Lord Arnau de Caboet
was a
Catalan nobleman. He played an influential role in the creation of
Andorra, which was established by
Charlemagne as one of the buffer states that kept the
Moors from invading France.
In 11th century, an account cited how the lord protected the Bishop of Urgel from military action conducted by neighboring lords through a defensive agreement.
The title was fought over by the
Bishop of Urgell and the
Count of Foix, who became the heir of Lord Caboet through marriage.
The lord's family later merged with the house of Castellbo with the marriage between Viscount Arnau de Castellbo and the lord's descendant Arnaua de Caboet.
