The Count of Urgell was a historical title in the region of Urgell, located in present-day Catalonia, Spain. This title was held by various noble families from the early Middle Ages until the 18th century. The Counts played a significant role in the political and social landscape of Catalonia, often engaging in conflicts and alliances with other noble houses and the Crown of Aragon. One of the most notable Counts was Ermengol VI, who ruled in the 11th century and was known for his military prowess and efforts to expand his territory. The title eventually became less significant as the region integrated into the broader political framework of Spain, leading to its decline in prominence.
