Ramon Berenguer II ruled jointly with his twin brother Berenguer Ramon II from 1076 until his murder while hunting in 1082 — a killing almost certainly arranged by his brother, who then ruled alone and earned the epithet "el Fratricida." The denier series attributed to this reign spans the joint rule and the subsequent sole regency, which complicates precise attribution of individual specimens to either phase of production.
Barcelona's minting authority during this period was chronically contested, with episcopal and comital interests frequently clashing over seigniorage rights.
