[1] He succeeded his father, Count Sunyer I of Pallars, who divided his county between his two sons.
He agreed to recognise Ermengol as his lord and in return receive an annual subsidy from the count.
[1] In the same convention, Ermengol quitclaimed the castle of Llimiana (Liminina) to Raymond to put an end to "all the quarrels he had with him" (omnes querelas quas habebat de eum).
[4] Raymond's first wife was Mayor, a daughter (probably the youngest) of Count García Fernández of Castile and Countess Ava of Ribagorza.
Ava's sister Tota was Count Sunyer's second wife and Raymond was thus married to the niece of his step-mother, perhaps through her arrangement.
