En 878 il reçoit de Louis II le Bègue, au concile de Troyes, les comtésde Barcelone, Girona et Besalu.
A la figura de Wilfredo hay que atribuir la independencia de facto de los condados catalanes respecto del reino franco y la creación de una extensa base patrimonial. Una de sus acciones más relevantes fue la repoblación de la plana de Vich (878-881), una extensa tierra de nadie situada entre los dominios carolingios y los musulmanes, que posteriormente se convertiría en el Condado de Osona. Allí fundó los monasterios de Ripoll y San Juan de las Abadesas, y restauró el obispado de Vich.
