{{History of Catalonia}}
The '''Catalan counties''' ({{langx|ca|'''Comtats Catalans'''}}, {{IPA|ca|kumˈtats kətəˈlans|IPA}}) were those surviving counties of the [[Hispanic March]] and the southernmost part of the [[March of Gothia]] that were later united to form the [[Principality of Catalonia]].

In 778, [[Charlemagne]] led the first military [[Franks|Frankish]] expedition into [[Hispania]] to create the Hispanic March, a military buffer zone between the [[Frankish Empire]] and the [[Emirate of Córdoba]]. The territory that he subdued would in later centuries become the kernel of Catalonia (not yet known like that since the first written mention of ''Catalonia'' is in 1113). In 781, Charlemagne made his 3-year-old son [[Louis the Pious]] (778 – 840) [[king of Aquitaine]], who was sent there with regents and a court in order to secure the southern border of his kingdom against the Arabs and Moors and to expand southwards into Muslim territory.

These counties were originally primitive [[feudalism|feudal]] entities ruled by a small military elite. Counts were appointed directly by and owed allegiance to the [[Carolingian]] (Frankish) emperor. The appointment of heirs could not be taken for granted. However, with the rise of the importance of the [[Bellonids]] and strong figures among them such as, [[Sunifred, Count of Barcelona|Sunifred]] ([[floruit|fl.]] 844&ndash;848) and [[Wilfred the Hairy]] (c.870-897), and the weakening of Carolingian royal power, the appointment of heirs eventually become a formality.  This trend resulted in the counts becoming ''[[de facto]]'' independent of the Carolingian crown under [[Borrell II]] in 987, starting since, to call themselves and to be known as ''dei gratia comes'' (counts by the grace of god) and ''dux catalanensis'' (Catalan dukes) or even ''Hispaniae subjogator'' (attorney of Hispania) and ''Propugnator et murus christiani populi'' (wall and defender of the Christian folk).

The many counties (aside from the counties of [[County of Pallars]], [[County of Urgell]] and [[County of Empuries]]) were to be soon absorbed into the [[County of Barcelona]]. The [[Count of Barcelona]] [[Ramon Berenguer IV, count of Barcelona|Ramon Berenguer IV]], married the heiress of the [[Kingdom of Aragon]], [[Petronilla of Aragon]], in 1150, uniting as equals the [[Kingdom of Aragon]] and the [[County of Barcelona]]. Thus, their son, [[Alfonso II of Aragon]], became the king of the [[Crown of Aragon]].

==Creation==
[[Image:Comtats catalans s. VIII-XII.svg|thumb|right|The Hispanic March counties between the late 8th and 12th centuries that would become the Principality of Catalonia]]
The Frankish conquest of the area from Muslim control began in 759, shortly after the capture of [[Narbonne]], with the establishment of the County of Rosselló, the first of what would later become the Catalan counties to be established.<ref>Lewis, Archibald Ross. ''[http://libro.uca.edu/lewis/index.htm The Development of Southern French and Catalan Society, 718&ndash;1050]''. University of Texas Press: Austin, 1965.</ref> In 785, [[Rostany]] (or [[Rostaing, Count of Girona|Rostaing]]) was made [[Count of Girona]], the first one south of the Pyrenees. [[County of Besalú|Besalú]] and [[County of Empúries|Empúries]] were originally part of Girona. When [[county of Urgell|Urgell]] and [[county of Cerdanya|Cerdanya]] were conquered by Carolingian forces around 798, they were also made counties of the Hispanic March and [[Borrell of Ausona|Borrell]] was made count. He took a very active part in the subsequent conquest of [[county of Osona|Osona]] in 799 and the successful siege of Barcelona in 801.  He was made count of Osona in 799, perhaps as a reward for his services.  In 801, in the greatest military triumph of his long career, Louis the Pious, son of Charlamagne, [[Siege of Barcelona (801)|took Barcelona]] from its Muslim rulers, making it the greatest city of the Hispanic March's littoral. The [[county of Barcelona]] was established and [[Bera, Count of Barcelona|Bera]] was made its count. In 812, Count dilo of Girona (which included Besalú and Empúries) died and the county also passed to Bera.

In 804 and 805, Borrell participated in the expeditions to [[Tortosa]], but not in the subsequent [[Siege of Tortosa (808–809)|campaigns of 808 and 809]]. On Borrell's death in 820, Osona was given to [[Rampon, Count of Barcelona|Rampon]] and Urgell and Cerdanya went to [[Aznar I Galíndez|Aznar Galíndez]]. Also in 820, Bera went into political disfavour and lost the countships of Barcelona and Girona, which also went to Rampon.

Around 813, Empúries became a separate county under [[Ermenguer]], and in 817, it was united to the [[County of Roussillon]]. From 835 to 844, [[Sunyer I of Empúries|Sunyer I]] was count of Empúries and [[Peralada]] while [[Alaric I of Roussillon|Alaric I]] was count of Roussillon and [[Vallespir]].

Besalú was made a separate county in 878 for [[Radulf, Count of Besalú|Radulf]] on the condition that it pass to the heirs of [[Wilfred the Hairy]] on his death. It went to [[Miro the Younger|Miro I the Younger]] in 912.

Barcelona soon overshadowed the other counties in importance, especially during the reign of [[Wilfred the Hairy]] in the late 9th century. At that time, the power of the Carolingian Empire was waning and the neglected Hispanic March counties were practically independent of its royal authority. In the early 11th century, [[Berenguer Ramon I, Count of Barcelona]], was able to submit to [[Sancho III of Navarre]] as his suzerain, even though he was still legally a vassal of [[Robert II of France]]. With the accession of Robert's father, [[Hugh Capet]], the first non-Carolingian king, in 987, most of the counts refused to pay homage to the new dynasty. Over the next century, most of the counties were absorbed or became vassals of the County of Barcelona. In 1137, the Count of Barcelona [[Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona|Ramon Berenguer IV]] married the heiress of the [[Kingdom of Aragon]], [[Petronilla of Aragon|Petronella]], uniting the County of Barcelona and its vassals with the Kingdom of Aragon to create the [[Crown of Aragon]]. Several of the later Aragonese kings re-created some of the counties as appanages for younger sons.

====Successor families in the County of Upper Pallars====
In 1229, Countess Guillema of Upper Pallars sold her domains to her husband Roger I (grandson of {{ill|Bernard III, Count of Comminges|ca|Bernat III de Comenge|it=Bernard III, Count of Comminges}}), with whom she had no children. The rights were transmitted to the children of Roger's other marriage, and as so with no close family connection with the Pallarese dynasty. However, if the Bigorre family and the Comminges family share an ancestor in the [[Duke of Gascony|Ducal House of Gascony]], they may have a distant relation.

In 1327, after the death of countess Sybilla, her inheritance went to her children, from the Mataplana family, which was dispossessed of the county in 1491.

=== House of Bourbon (Spanish branch) 1714-1808 ===

{{see also|House of Bourbon}}
In 1714, Catalonia, which had backed the [[House of Habsburg|Habsburg]] pretender to the Spanish crown [[Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor|Archduke Charles of Austria]], was defeated in the [[War of the Spanish Succession]] by the [[House of Bourbon|Bourbon]] forces supporting [[Philip V of Spain|Philip of Anjou's]] claim to the Spanish crown. Through the [[Nueva Planta decrees]], the new Bourbon king of Spain [[Philip V of Spain|Philip V]] abolished the [[Catalan Constitutions]] and merged the [[Crown of Aragon]] and the [[Crown of Castile]] to form the [[Kingdom of Spain]]. The [[Principality of Catalonia]] became another province and thus the title of the Count of Barcelona was emptied of real political power.

Since then, the numbering of the Counts of Barcelona, which had followed that of the Crown of Aragon, followed that of the former Crown of Castille. That is the reason why [[Philip V of Spain|Philip of Anjou]] was called by the Catalan authorities 'Felip IV' in 1702 but called himself 'Felipe V' when he seized the title of the Count of Barcelona in 1714, after defeating the Habsburg pretender and his Catalan backers.

=== House of Bonaparte 1808-1813 ===

{{see also|House of Bonaparte}}
In 1808 [[Charles IV of Spain|Charles IV]] and his son [[Ferdinand VII of Spain|Ferdinand]] resign from their [[Crown of Spain]] titles and transfer them to [[Napoleon|Emperor Napoleon]], who kept for himself the title of Count of Barcelona. By 1812, once he had full military control over the [[Principality of Catalonia]], he separated it from the Crown of Spain and annexed it to the [[First French Empire|French Empire]].

===House of Bourbon (Reannexation to Spain) 1813-1931; 1975-present day===

{{see also|House of Bourbon}}
After the [[Napoleonic Wars]], Barcelona returned to Spanish domain. During the [[Second Spanish Republic|2nd Spanish Republic]] and [[Francoist Spain|Francoist Dictatorship]] the Bourbons remained in exile and retained their dynastic titles, including 'Count of Barcelona'.
Although on 26 July 1947, Spain was declared a kingdom, no monarch was designated until 1969, when Franco established Juan Carlos of Bourbon as his official heir-apparent. With the death of Franco on 20 November 1975, [[Juan Carlos I|Juan Carlos]] became the King of Spain.
