Bencion was the son of another count, Sunyer II of Empúries. When his father died, Bencion took over the role.
Bencion's Family and Rule
Bencion was married to a woman named Godlana. She was the daughter of Miro the Elder, who was a count in nearby regions called Conflent and Roussillon.
When Bencion's father, Sunyer II, died, Bencion didn't rule alone. He shared the leadership with his brother, Gausbert. They ruled the counties of Empúries and Rosselló together.
Bencion was the first of the two brothers to die. After his death in 916, his brother Gausbert took full control of all the lands and titles they had shared.
