| Additional information |
Pedro II ruled Urgell during one of the most turbulent stretches in Catalan history — the Black Death had already gutted the region's population by the time his reign began, and the County spent much of the following decades navigating the fractious politics between the Crown of Aragon and increasingly restless urban centers. Barcelona's mint struck this billon dinero under comital authority, a privilege that reflected Urgell's residual autonomy even as Aragonese centralization steadily eroded the independence of peripheral lordships.
Pedro died without legitimate heirs, and the County passed through his daughter Ermengol to her husband, eventually becoming a flashpoint in the disputed succession that preceded the Compromise of Caspe in 1412.
