Count of Girona

The Counts of Girona (Catalan: Comtes de Girona, Spanish: Condes de Gerona) ruled over the County of Girona (currently in Catalonia), the earliest-established of the Catalan Counties which formed the Marca Hispanica. The line was established by the Frankish noble Charles Rostan, Rostany, first Count of Girona (785-801) at the time of Sa'dun al Ruayni.
