Francisco Miquel Rosell, 2 vols (Textos i estudios de la Corona de Aragón [1-]2, Barcelona, 1945[47]) [hereafter LFM]. Documents in this edition are cited by number rather than volume and page. After the marriage of Ramon Berenguer IV to Petronilla of Aragon in 1150, the counts of Barcelona were also kings of Aragon, although Alfons I was the first to assume the title (as Alfonso II). It is customary to refer to him and later rulers with the awkward designation 'count-king', though here I generally use simply 'count' when not concerned specifically with royal status or authority.
