  Miro, called the Old or the Elder (in Catalan, Miró el Vell) (died 896) was the count of Conflent from 870 and Rosselló from 878 until his death. He was the son of Sunifred I, count of Barcelona, Urgell, Cerdanya, and Besalú, and Ermesende, and thus brother of Wilfred the Hairy and Radulf of Besalú.
  
  Wilfred inherited in 870 the county of Urgell and that of Cerdanya from his uncle Solomon I, but he gave the government of the pagus of Conflent to Miro. In 876, he rebelled against Bernard, margrave of Gothia, and invaded Roussillon with the help of Lindoi, viscount of Narbonne, and his brother. In 878, though condemned for his invasion by the Pope, John VIII, he was confirmed in his new possession by the king of France, Louis II. He was a protector of the monastery of Saint Andrew of Eixalada and, before it was destroyed by a flood, the monastery of Saint Michael of Cuixà.
  
  He married Quíxol, with whom he had one daughter, Godlana, who married the Count Bencion, son of Sunifred II of Empúries. He died in 896 and the county of Roussillon, except the interior, passed to Bencion under his father Sunifred. The rest; Vallespir, Capcir, and Fenolleda; together with Conflent, passed to Wilfred and upon his death, to Miro the Young.
