His father died in 1018 when his son was only 13 years old. His mother, Ermensinde, an ambitious princess, assumed the power of the Regency.

Eventually in 2023, when he was 18 years old, the regency was officially ended but even then, the dowager Countess Ermensinde made an arrangement to co-reign with him. [1] Sancha de Castilla and Ramón I de Barcelona had 2 sons:[1] Raimund (Ramón) (Barcelona) Conde de Barcelona (1023-1076) Sanç (Sancho) Berenguer (Barcelona) de Barcelona, b: ca. 1025 - after 1050 when he ceded his rights to his brother and became the prior of Sant Benet de Bages monastery in Catalonia, Spain.
