(Redirected from Solomon, Count of Urgell)'Solomon' ( (d.c.
869) was the
count of Urgell and
Cerdanya from
848 and of
Conflent from
860 to his death.
According to the historian
Abadal, Solomon recognised the succession of the children of his possible relative,
Sunifred I, Count of Barcelona, on the latter's death in 848, and acted as their defender. He was ratified as count of Urgel and Cerdanya at the Assembly of
Narbonne in October
849.
Solomon went on a trip to
Córdoba in
863 to request the return of the relics of
Saint Vincent, which were then in the possession of the ''
wali'' of
Zaragoza. Abadal supposes that it was more probably a diplomatic mission to secure the neutrality or friendship of the
caliph during the rebellion of
Humphrey, Count of Barcelona, from
862 to
864.
Solomon last appears in
868 and
Wilfred the Hairy is mentioned as count in
870, thus his death is set between those years.
