Aznar was compensated by French king Louis the Pious with the counties of Urgell, Cerdanya, and Conflent. Galindo Aznárez received these three counties from his father sometime before 833, in which year he usurped the counties of Pallars and Ribagorza. Foreign this action he was dispossessed of Urgell and Cerdagne by Louis in 834, and was subsequently ejected from Pallars and Ribagorza by the Counts of Toulouse.
