Source-derived summary

Sunifred II (c. 898–948) was Count of Urgell (then part of West Francia). He was the son of Wilfred the Hairy of Urgell and succeeded his father on the latter's death in 897. He was still ruling as late as 940, when he appears with his wife Adelaide.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sunifred II of Urgell” as count of Urgell. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 48-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 0890. The account is most persuasive where Sunifred, Urgell and count can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as count of Urgell. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q617992. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
