Harun of Barcelona
Template:Short description Harun of Barcelona (Template:Langx) was the last Wali of Barcelona, ruling from 800 to 801, during the Siege of Barcelona.<ref name=Collins>Roger Collins, The Arab Conquest of Spain, 710–797 (Basil Blackwell, 1989).</ref>
A Muwallad Muslim of local Visigothic stock,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Harun succeeded as Wali when his predecessor, Sa'dun al Ruayni was captured by besieging Frankish forces while trying to reach Córdoba to raise help. Harun was chosen as Wali by both the Gothic and Muslim population in the city.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> However totally besieged, with no food and no hope of help, the city's Gothic magnates forced him to surrender Barcelona to the Frank Louis the Pious on April 3, 801.
The surrender meant the city passed from Muslim control into part of the "Hispanic Marches" of the Carolingian Empire and Bera got the first Count of Barcelona.
