| Additional information |
Ramon Berenguer I ruled the County of Barcelona, not Girona in isolation — his authority over Girona came through inheritance and political consolidation of the Catalan counties during the mid-eleventh century. This dinero belongs to a monetary tradition deeply shaped by Carolingian precedent, the counties of the March having retained silver penny coinage long after much of post-Carolingian Europe had fragmented into wildly inconsistent local issues. Ramon Berenguer I is also remembered for codifying Catalan customary law in the Usatges de Barcelona, arguably the first feudal legal code in the Iberian peninsula.
