eUniv participates in the First Armand de Fluvià Symposium on Genealogy and Heraldry
On October 15, 2025, the First Armand de Fluvià Symposium on Genealogy and Heraldry was held at the headquarters of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans in Barcelona, organized by the Societat Catalana d’Estudis Històrics and the Institució Armand de Fluvià i Escorsa de Genealogia i Heràldica. The symposium marked the first anniversary of the passing of Armand de Fluvià, a distinguished scholar in the field and, among many other initiatives, the driving force behind Armoria, a journal specializing in the subject.
Dr. Josep Serrano, director of the Fiter i Rossell Chair in Legal History at eUniv, took part in the symposium by presenting a paper on Armand de Fluvià’s thesis, published in 1994, which refuted the application of the Aragonese legal institution Casamiento en casa to the marriage between Count Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona and the heiress to the Aragonese realm in 1137. As he had already done in an earlier 1997 publication, Dr. Serrano argued the case in the same legal vein as Fluvià.
