Raymond I (, ) (fl. 884–920) was the first independent count of Pallars and Ribagorza from 872 until his death. Early speculation made him a scion of the counts of Toulouse,Serrano y Sans, 127;del Arco y Garay, 359 but he is certainly the "Count Raymond, son of Count Lupus ... in the country of Pallars" (Regimundo comite, filio Luponi comiti ... in pago Paliarensi) of a 920 document.d'Abadal y de Vinyals, I: 351 His father may have been the Basque Count Lupus I of Bigorre.d'Abadal y de Vinyals, I: 121 During his lifetime Pallars represented the easternmost extent of the Basque language.Lewis, 112 n104.
