Chronology

c.803                      Part of the Kingdom of the Franks.
23 Jan 843                 Conceded to Sicfridus (Sunifrid) Count of Urgell
                             as a feudal domain by the Frankish king.
988                        Count Borrell II of Urgell transfers some Andorran
                             holdings to the Bishop of Urgell, in exchange
                             for lands in Catalonia.
18 Apr 1095                Administration over the bishops holdings is given
                             to the vicomte Caboet as a fief (confirmed 29
                             Jun 1162); which on 14 Jan 1170 is transferred
                             to the Castellbò family, and then from 1208 to
                             Roger Bernat II comte de Foix.
27 Jan 1133                Remaining holdings of the Count of Urgell are given
                             to the Bishop of Urgell, later this is disputed
                             by
the heirs of the count.
 8 Sep 1278                Les Valls d'Andorra (Valleys of Andorra) is
                             constituted as a condominium in accordance with
                             a pareatge (charter) by the Count of Foix (from
                             12 Feb 1479, title is held by kings of Navarra)
                             and the Bishop of Urgell (in Aragón, later Spain)
                             (ratified 7 Oct 1282, amended 6 Dec 1288), the
                             co-princes are represented by vicars (veguer de
                             las valls); and
each is entitled to tribute in
                             alternate years
.
15 Oct 1303                Under Aragonese protection (by letters patent).

20 Oct 1620                The County of Foix and Kingdom of Navarra become
                             part of the French crown lands; the title of 
                             Andorran Co-prince is held thereafter by the
                             head of state of France.

                             Andorra into Catalonia (26 Jan 1812) as a
                             territory occupied by the army of France, the
                             status of the French co-ruler remained
