The son of Ponce I of Urgell and María Girón, he was buried in the Church of Santa Maria de Farfaña.

Born the second son, he became heir apparent at his older brother Ponce's untimely death.

Due to his young age, his mother acted as regent.

He was buried in the Church of Santa Maria de Farfaña, but his tomb was transferred to The Cloisters (Gallery 009) in 1975.
