Persoonlijke gegevens Sunier I van Barcelona 

• Hij is geboren in het jaar 890.
• (Geschiedenis) .Bron 1

  Hij volgde in 911 zijn broer Wifried II op als graaf van Barcelona. Het kwam echter tot een conflict met zijn jongere broer Miro over de opvolging in Besalú, dat werd bijgelegd nadat Sunier al zijn aanspraken op Besulú opgaf en Miro afzag van Barcelona.
  
  Sunier voerde een politiek van bescherming en bevoordeliging van de kerk en de geestelijkheid. Hij trad krachtdadig op tegen de Moren en deed aan herbevolking van Osona en Penedès, die te lijden hadden gehad van de binnenvallende Moren. In 948 trok hij zich terug in een klooster en gaf het bewind door aan zijn zoons.

  Sunyer (c. 870 – 950) was count of Barcelona, Girona and Ausona from 911 to 947.
  Origins
  
  He was the son of Wilfred the Hairy and younger brother of the previous Count of Barcelona, Wilfred II Borrel. He worked jointly with his brother in the government of the Counties held by their father after his death in 897. He did not reign independently until his brother's death in (911).
  Family Conflict
  
  However on the death of his uncle, Count Radulf I of Besalú, in 913 or 920, a conflict emerged between Sunyer and his brother Count Miró II of Cerdanya over the succession of the County of Besalú. In exchange for the total renunciation of all claims on the County of Barcelona, Sunyer gave up his claim on Besalú.
  
  Sunyer was apparently married by 917, and later appears with wife Richilda, speculated, based on the introduction of novel names into the family, to have been daughter of the Count of Rouergue. They had four sons and a daughter: Ermengol, Miró, Borrell, Adelaide (also called Bonafilla), and Wifred.
  Politics
  
  Sunyer made important efforts with domestic politics, protected the church and strengthened its institutions and gave it more land and income. He also continued to encourage the repopulation of the county of Ausona.
  
  He abandoned defensive stance adopted by his predecessors and took up the fight actively against the Moorish states to the south. Battles were fought at Lleida and Tarragona. At the same time, he managed to retain diplomatic relations with Córdoba who had increasingly lost control of its northern provinces. In 912, Muhammad al-Tawil, the Wali of Huesca and Lleida attacked and destroyed the Barcelonian army under Sunyer in the Tàrrega valley. However in 914 Sunyer's counterattack successfully pushed them back again, killing al-Tawil. He subsequently repopulated the county of Penedès, which had been the scene of many conflicts between the Frankish and Muslim empires, as far as Olèrdola (929).
  
  During the intervening period, 936 to 937, he led an expedition against the Muslims. As a result of this successful campaign many of the enemy forces were killed including the Qadi of Valencia and the Moors temporarily abandoned Tarragona (which became a no-man's land), while Tortosa was forced to pay a tribute to the count. This gain was short-lived. In 940, Abd ar-Rahman III sent envoys and a fleet to Barcelona, forcing Sunyer into a subservient alliance and to abandon a marriage pact he had reached with king García Sánchez I of Pamplona, who was to marry or had already married Sunyer's daughter.
  
  In 947 he retired to monastic life and ceded the government of his realms to his sons; Borrell II and Miró I. He died in the Monastery of La Grassa (in Conflent) in 950.

• Hij is overleden op 15 oktober 950, hij was toen 60 jaar oud.
• Een kind van Wilfried I "de Harige" van Barcelona en Guinidilda van Ausone
