Urgell

The Urgell were the last comital dynasty of the Catalan County of Urgell, a younger branch of the House of Barcelona ruling from Balaguer. In 1314, Ermengol X, the last count of the Cabrera line, left the county to his niece Teresa d'Entença, wife of the future Alfonso IV of Aragon. Their son James inherited Urgell in 1336, and the county passed to his son Peter II in 1347 and his grandson James II in 1408.

On the death of King Martin of Aragon without an heir in 1410, James II was one of six claimants to the crown, but the Compromise of Caspe in 1412 elected Ferdinand of Antequera instead. James refused the verdict and rose in arms.

Besieged in Balaguer, James surrendered in October 1413. The county was annexed to Aragon, and he died a prisoner at Xàtiva in 1433, the last legitimate male of the House of Barcelona.
