Miro was the son of Ramon Berenguer and Ermessenda, lords of the castle of Tagamanent. He was venerated in the region as a beat and died at the monastery. The monastery was founded in 885 by Guifre el Pilos, or count Wilfred the Hairy, originally as a female monastery, for his daughter Emma. Picture by Manuel Cohen
