Berengar (Catalan: Berenguer Guifré) (died 1093), the third son of Wilfred II of Cerdanya and Guisla, was the count of Berga from the death of his brother Bernard I in 1050 until he renounced the county later the same year to become bishop of Girona, a position that he held for over 40 years, from 1052 until he died in 1903.[1]

He defended the rights of the Church against Hugh II, Count of Empúries and contributed to the triumph of the reforms of Pope Gregory VII.[1] In one of his letters to the abbot of Augsburg, he stated that the people of Girona celebrated the feast of Sant Narcís [ca] on 29 October 1087.
