Establishing co-sovereignty in Andorra: first paréage between Foix Count and Urgell Bishop.

The first paréage was signed between the Count of Foix and the Bishop of Urgell, solidifying their co-sovereignty over Andorra. This agreement stemmed from a longstanding dispute over the ownership of the territory. As a result, both parties agreed to share political power, with the Count managing the secular affairs and the Bishop overseeing the religious matters in Andorra. This event had a profound impact on the governance and administration of Andorra. It laid the foundation for the unique co-principality system that still exists in the country today, where the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell serve as the co-princes. The paréage also established a tradition of cooperation and shared responsibility in ruling Andorra, ensuring its stability and peaceful development over the centuries. The signing of the first paréage marked a crucial moment in Andorra's history, shaping its political landscape and identity. It exemplifies the spirit of compromise and diplomacy that has defined the governance of the country. Today, Andorra continues to cherish its co-principality status and the legacy of the agreement signed between the Count of Foix and the Bishop of Urgell. #CoSovereignty #CoPrincipality #Diplomacy
