Pau Duran
Pau Duran (Esparreguera, 31 December 1582 - Areny de Noguera, 18 February 1651) was a bishop of Urgell[1][2] and co-prince of Andorra.
He studied at the University of Huesca, obtained a bachelor's degree in law in 1602 and a degree in 1603. In 1612 he published his first legal work in Mallorca. In January 1626 he had been appointed Archdeacon of the Canons of the Cathedral of Barcelona.[3] During the wars with France he fled his cathedral during a riot of the local population. The governor capitulated and the bishop Duran was implicated. He was expelled from his bishopric.[4]
