Gausfred I

Who was Gausfred I?

Gausfred I was the count of Empúries and Rosselló from 931 until his death. He was the son and successor of Gausbert. He spent his whole life consolidating his authority in his counties, but he divided the realm amongst his sons. By his testament of 989, Empúries and Perelada went to Hugh and Roussillon went to Giselbert.

Hugh, count of Empúries and Perelada

Sunyer, bishop of Elna

Giselbert, count of Roussillon

Guisla

He married secondly Sibylla, with whom he had no children.
