Wifred ((カタルーニャ語、バレンシア語:Guifré), (スペイン語:Vifredo'' or ''Wifredo)) (''c''. 970 – 1050) was the Count of Cerdanya (988–1035; as Wifred II) and Count of Berga (1003–1035; as Wifred I). He was the eldest son of Oliba Cabreta and Ermengard of Ampurias. When his father abdicated in 988 to become a monk in Monte Cassino, Wifred's brother Bernard received Besalú while Oliba received Berga. Their mother acted as regent until 994. When Oliba followed his father into the church in 1003, his county passed to Wifred. In that year Wifred and Bernard joined an alliance of Christian princes to fend off a Muslim invasion at the Battle of Torà.〔Carl Erdmann (1977), ''The Origin of the Idea of Crusade'' (Princeton: Princeton University Press), 99–100.〕 Like his father and brother before him, he had a great affection for the church. He participated actively in the consecration of many churches and monasteries, such as San Martín del Canigó, founded in 1007 and consecrated in 1009. Despite this, he did fight to free his county from the jurisdiction of the diocese of Urgell and thus entered into conflict with Saint Ermengol. In 1023, Wifred entered into a peace concord with Berengar Raymond I of Barcelona and William I of Besalú. In the early thirteenth-century ''Liber feudorum Ceritaniae'' the first folio is illuminated with a scene of Wifred receiving the homage of sarn and Dalmau, lords of Castellfollit. The picture, painted by a different artist from the rest of book, is of a higher calibre than the otherss and is in the Byzantinist style that was becoming dominant in Catalonia around 1200.〔María Eugenia Ibarburu Asurmendi (1999), ''De capitibus litterarum et aliis figuris: Recull d'estudis miniatura medieval'' (Barcelona: Edicions Universitat Barcelona, ISBN 84-475-2243-1), 359. The artist has been identified with the painter of the altar fronts at Sant Sadurní de Rotgers and Aviá. He also illustrated a manuscript of Augustine of Hippo's ''De civitate Dei'' (MS. 20 from of the Archivo Capitular de Tortosa).〕 In 1035, he finally followed his father and brother into monastic retirement, becoming a monk in his own foundation of San Martín del Canigó. He died some fifteen years later in 1050. By his marriage to Guisla of Pallars, he had many children: *Raymond (1035–1068), successor in Cerdanya *Wifred (died 1079), archbishop of Narbonne *Berengar (died 1053), bishop of Elna *Arduin (died 1050) *William Wifred (died 1075), bishop of Urgell *Bernard (died 1050), successor in Berga *Berengar (died 1093), successor of Bernard in Berga and bishop of Girona *Fe (also Fides or Foy), married Hugh of Rouergue ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wifred II, Count of Cerdanya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
