Lord of Caboet

The Lord of Caboet or Lord Arnau de Caboet[1] was a Catalan nobleman. He played an influential role in the creation of Andorra, which was established by Charlemagne as one of the buffer states that kept the Moors from invading France.[2] In 11th century, an account cited how the lord protected the Bishop of Urgel from military action conducted by neighboring lords through a defensive agreement.[1] The title was fought over by the Bishop of Urgell and the Count of Foix, who became the heir of Lord Caboet through marriage.[2] The lord's family later merged with the house of Castellbo with the marriage between Viscount Arnau de Castellbo and the lord's descendant Arnaua de Caboet.[3]
