Kuka naimisissa Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona?

Ramon Berenguer I (c. 1023 – 26 May 1076), called the Old (Catalan: 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 about 1023, 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 Catalan law in the written Usatges of Barcelona which was to become the first full compilation of feudal law in Western Europe. Legal codification was part of the count's efforts to forward and somehow control the process of feudalization which started during the reign of his weak father, Berenguer Ramon. Another major contributor was the Church acting through the institution of the Peace and Truce of God. This established a general truce among warring factions and lords in a given region for a given time. The earliest extant date for introducing the Truce of God in Western Europe is 1027 in Catalonia, during the reign of his father, Berenguer Ramon.

While still married to his second wife Blanca, he became involved with the wife of the Count of Toulouse, Almodis de La Marche, countess of Limoges. Both quickly married and were consequently excommunicated by Pope Victor II.

Ramon Berenguer I, together with his third wife Almodis, also founded the Romanesque cathedral of Barcelona, to replace the older basilica presumably destroyed by Almanzor. Their velvet and brass bound wooden coffins are still displayed in the Gothic cathedral which eventually replaced the cathedral that they founded.

He was succeeded by his twin sons Ramon Berenguer II and Berenguer Ramon II.

Sancha Sánchez de Castilla (1006-1027), hija del conde de Castilla Sancho García y su esposa Urraca Gómez, fue condesa consorte de Barcelona y Gerona.

Isabel de Nîmes (? - f. 1050), foi condessa consorte de Barcelona(1039-1050).

Isabel era filha do visconde Raimundo Bernardo I de Nîmes. Em 1039 casou-se com o Conde Raimundo Berengário I de Barcelona. Do matrimónio nasceram quatro filhos:

1. Berengário de Barcelona (f. c.1040 ou maio de 1045), morto jovem;
2. Arnaldo (Arnau) de Barcelona (?- c. 1045), morto jovem;
3. Pedro Raimundo de Barcelona (? -1071), condenado pelo assassinato de sua madrasta, Almodis de La Marche;
4. Inês de Barcelona, casada a 10 de maio de 1070 com Guigues II de Albon .

Isabel faleceu em 1050. No ano seguinte o viúvo Raimundo Berengário voltaria a casar.

Almodis de la Marche (c. 1020 – 16 October 1071) was a French noble famed for her marriages. She and her third husband, Ramon Berenguer I, Count of Barcelona, with whom she committed double bigamy in 1053, were excommunicated by the Pope. Almodis played an active political role during her marriage to Ramon Berenguer I, acting as his co-ruler in legal and diplomatic affairs. She co-authored the Usages of Barcelona (c. 1068), the first comprehensive legal code for the County of Barcelona, where she is explicitly named as "consors et auctrix".
