 Chapter 3: The Templars in the Corona de Aragón
Between 1128 and 1136 Hugh of Rigaud had charge of Templar possessions both in Catalonia and in the districts to the north of the Pyrenees, where the counts of Barcelona had political interests;
The linking of these districts with Catalonia and Provence was presumably occasioned by the political union of Aragon and Catalonia, just as later in the twelfth century the cession of certain parts of Navarre to Castile appears to have led to the transference of Templar rights in these districts to the Castilian province.
Palau, to the north of Barcelona, was not a very convenient site for a convent, since the commander had frequent business with royal officials in Barcelona and with Barcelona merchants who transported Templar supplies [102] to the East.

 A Medieval Catalan Noble Family
For Guillem Ramon was both heir to his father's lordships in the Vallès [5] and to the seneschalcy of Barcelona -- an office which in Catalonia conferred additional rank and distinction upon one of the count of Barcelona's closest supporters.
In Catalonia both political and social changes were spurred by increases in population and wealth that became especially notable in the late tenth and early eleventh century.
It was a period in Catalonia when counts lost and regained control over the aristocracy, when the bases for a "feudal monarchy" were laid, and when the economic benefits of authority were spread to a wider class of individuals whose social behavior was governed by the rules of knighthood.
