Catalan nobility

Catalan nobility refers to the hereditary aristocratic families in Catalonia, a region in Spain, historically holding social, political, and economic influence. These noble families owned land, held titles, and played key roles in regional governance and military defense. Their status was often formalized through titles like counts or barons, and they contributed to the region's cultural and political development. While their power diminished over time, especially after modern political changes, Catalan nobility remains a noteworthy part of the region’s historical aristocratic legacy.
