Ermengol (or Armengol) III (1032–1065), called el de Barbastro, was the Count of 
Urgell from 1038 to his death. He was the son of Ermengol II, Count of Urgell and his 
wife Velasquita of Besalú.

Allied with his contemporary and second cousin Ramon Berenguer I, Count of 
Barcelona, together they shared in the process of erosion of the comital authority to 
the noblesse. They also cooperated in the Reconquista and he received a third part of 
the conquests, occupying, in 1050, Camarasa and Cubells after taking them from 
Yusuf of Lleida. In 1039–1040, Ermengol and Raymond Berengar signed a pact against 
Raymond of Cerdanya. Later in that decade, Raymond Berenger paid 20,000 solidi for 
Ermengol's support and military aid.[1]

He took part in the Barbastro War of 1064 under the banner of Sancho Ramírez of 
Aragon. When Barbastro was captured, he was given the lordship of the city. On 17 
April 1066, he died defending the city from Moorish reprisals.

Ermengol married before 1048, Adelaide, whose family is not known, even if some 
scholars made her daughter of Guillem I Count of Besalu. She died before May 1055, 
leaving a daughter:
Isabella (died circa 1071), married Sancho Ramírez in 1065

Before May 7, 1055, Ermengol took as his second wife Clemencia, hypothesized to 
have been daughter of Berengar Raymond I and his second wife Guisla (based on the 
names of their younger sons), by whom he had:
Ermengol IV, his heir
Berenguer
Guillem
Ramon

Clemencia died after June 26, 1057, and before November 6, 1062, Ermengol was 
remarried to a lady named Elvira, who died about 1064.

In 1063, Ermengol married as his fourth wife Sancha, daughter of Ramiro I of Aragon.
