The Count of Cerdanya was a historical title held by the rulers of the region of Cerdanya, located in the eastern Pyrenees, straddling modern-day Spain and France. This area was significant during the early Middle Ages, particularly in the formation of the Catalan counties. The counts played a crucial role in local governance and the defense of their territories against external threats. The title of Count of Cerdanya was often associated with the broader County of Barcelona and the Catalan counties. Over time, the political landscape changed, leading to the integration of Cerdanya into larger political entities, such as the Crown of Aragon. The legacy of the counts remains an important part of the region's history.
