Ermessenda de Castellbò
b. ?, 12th century - d. 1230

Viscountess of Castellbó (Ermessenda I) and of Cerdanya. Countess of Foix. Only daughter and heiress of Arnau I de Castellbó and wife of Roger Bernat II de Foix, with whom she married in 1208 despite the opposition of the bishop and the count of Urgell, Ermengol VIII. Like her father, she was suspicious of Catharism. When she died, the viscounty of Castellbó, together with the valleys of Andorra, Sant Joan Fumat and Cabó, was transferred to the Foix family.
