*The other [[Catalan counties]] were much smaller and were absorbed early into the [[County of Barcelona]] (between parentheses the annexation year): [[County of Girona]] (897), [[County of Besalú]], [[County of Osona]], which included the nominal [[County of Manresa]] (1111), [[County of Berga]] and [[County of Conflent]] (1117) and [[County of Cerdanya]] (1118). From 1162 these counties, together with that of Barcelona, were merged into the [[Principality of Catalonia]], a sovereign state that absorbed some other counties: [[County of Roussillon]] (1172), [[County of Pallars Jussà]] (1192), [[County of Empúries]] (1402), [[County of Urgell]] (1413) and [[County of Pallars Sobirà]] (1487), giving the Principality its definitive shape.
