folch and cardona are of common origin
first of all i would like to greet the folch andthe cardona family which i consider our big family because we share the same origin, raimundo folch originating from central europe came to spain to figth against the moorish invasion in 791 at the order of carlomagno(charliemagne)and was later awarded by this king the noble title of vicount of cardona a small town in catalonia in the northeastern part of spain. at that moment the family name was converted to folch de cardona and lately for some reason which i ignore it separated as folch or cardona alone,.finally the title was converted to duke of cardona because of the honors gained by its descendants.i'm elaborating a website of the family origin which you can visit and contribute those who posess some ancient documents of the family.
