Roger Bernat I de Foix

Roger Bernat I de Foix (circa 1100-1172) was a prominent count in the region of Foix, known for his political and military leadership. He played a significant role in the conflicts of the time, particularly in relation to the territorial disputes involving the counts of Foix and the bishops of Urgell. As a protector of the Cathar faith, Roger Bernat also contributed to the rise of Catharism in Occitania, which ultimately led to religious tensions and persecution.
