  Notes	Mirón / Miró de Barcelona (later Miró II "el Joven" Comte de Cerdanya, Conflent i Berga) was born in about 888 and was the fifth child of Guifré "el Pilós, Comte de Urgell, Cerdanya, Conflent i Barcelona and his wife whose name was Guinidilda / Winidilda. [1] [2] Parents and Spouse While Mirón's father is clearly identified, there are uncertainties pertaining to his mother and to his spouse's family: NOTE re Mother of Miró(n): Miró's mother, referred to as Guinidilda or WInidilda, was known to be the daughter of a man named Seniofredo. Some earlier suggestions that she was Gunhild - who was the daughter of Baudouin I Count of Flanders - appear to be controverted by evidence or at least not certain. Accordingly, the link to her remains but her status as Miro's mother and Guifré's wife are considered uncertain. [1] NOTE re Spouse of Miró(n): Mirón married a woman named Ava [3] - and research in Catalan suggests that she was the daughter of a local aristocrat who was a member of the Ribagorça (Ribagorza) family. [4] [5] However, there is uncertainty regarding the names of her parents. Previously-suggested connections to Bernard de Ribagorza and Tota Galindónez do not match the potential parents noted, and the proposed mother was born too late. Accordingly, they have been disconnected as her parents. Family Ava and Mirón had four children: [3] Seniofredo Guifré Oliba Miró(n) Mirón also had five children with a mistress named Vigilia, including Gotruda, who married Lope I, Comte de Pallars. [3] Death and Succession Mirón died in October 927 and was buried at the Ripoll Monastery. He was succeeded jointly by his two eldest sons - Seniofredo and Guifré - each as Comte de Cerdanya, Besalú, Conflent i Berga. [2] [3] HIs spouse Ava lived for about three decades more, dying sometime between about 955 and 26 Feb 961. [3] [4] Second son Guifré was murdered in about 960, and eldest son Seniofredo died in about 966, following which Oliba "Cabreta" succeeded as Comte de Cerdanya i Besalú.
