Christian area between the Pyrenees and the Muslim kingdom of Lleida. It was ruled in the Cid's lifetime by the Counts of Urgel. The Bishop of Urgel is still one of the two nominal rulers of Andorra.
The counts of Urgel in the Cid's life time were Armengol IV el de Gerp, 1065-March 11, 1092 and Armengol V el de Mollerussa, 1092-1102.
His brother the King of Denia had taken counsel with Count Ramon Berenguer, and with the Count of Cardona, and with the brother the Count of Urgel, and with the chiefs of Balsadron and Remolin and Cartaxes, that they should besiege the Castle of Almenar, which my Cid had refortified by command of King Zulema.
