Joan Francesc Oliveras Pallarols. Alfred I the Hairy, Count of Barcelona, 9th century. He was the last Count of Barcelona appointed to this position by the kings of the West Frankish Kingdom, the first margrave of the Spanish Marque, who made his lands a hereditary possession. Medieval Spanish chronicles associated the formation of Catalonia as an independent region and the emergence of its coat of arms with the name of Alfred the Hairy.
