El dia que Barcelona va morir

"In the year of the Lord 985, the thirty-first of the reign of Lothar, king of the Franks, the Saracen armies advanced and reached Barcelona. Devastating all the land, they took the city, depopulated it and set it on fire. it had been kept inside, it was burned, and what escaped the disaster was taken away by the assailants. " All this happened the day Barcelona died... Ipso die quando Barchinona interiit... The vizier Almansur advances with forty thousand men, determined to plunder the city of Barcelona, ??the capital of the most powerful county in the south of the Pyrenees. The experienced Count Borrell, the young Viscount Udalard, his wife Riquilda, the wise widow Viscount Geriberga, the intelligent archdeacon Arnulf and the servant Gondemarus, among many others, set out to defend the city. But perhaps the misfortune approaching the walls is only proof that the Antichrist is about to unleash all his fury on the inhabitants of Barcelona, ??as he has already done in Rome and in other kingdoms of Christendom.
