Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunyer_II,_Count_of_Emp%C3%BAries
Sunyer II (c. 840–915) was the count of Empúries from 862 and Roussillon from 896 
until his death. He was the son of Sunyer I of Empúries

He and his brother Dela obtained the county of Empúries in 862 after Humfrid, 
margrave of Gothia, rebelled. They governed it together until Dela's death. In 878, the 
council of Troyes deposed Bernat of Gothia, who had held Roussillon since 865. It 
was given to Miro the Elder and, in 896, when Miro died, it passed by heredity to 
Sunifred. Together with Dela, he tried to occupy Girona, but their cousin, Wilfred the 
Hairy, stopped them. In 888, he travelled to Orléans to do homage to King Odo of 
France. In 891, he prepared a naval expedition to attack Moorish Almería. The 
campaign, however, ended in a truce.

He married a woman named Ermengarda, with whom he had the following issue:

Bencion (d. 916), successor
Gausbert (d. 931), successor of his brother
Elmerat (d. 920), bishop of Elna
Guadal (d. 947), bishop of Elna
