 | | In 1111 Ramon Berenguer III, Count of Barcelona, inherited the fief of Besalú, to which was added in 1117 that of Cerdanya; and in 1172 his grandson, Alfonso II of Aragon, united Rosselló to his other territories on the death of the last count, Girard II. |
| | At the beginning of the Template:XIIth century the power of the counts of Barcelona began to rise to such a height what the counts of Roussillon had but no choice to swore fealty to them. |
| | The counts of Roussillon were allied to their cousins the counts of Empúries in a centuries-long conflict with the surrounding counts. |
