The monastery of Sant Pere was founded in 977 by Bishop-Count Miró I and consecrated in 1003 by Count Bernhard I, also known as Taillefer. A Benedictine community of twelve monks lived there. However, with Count Taillefer's death in 1020, the decline of the count's rule began, culminating in its final demise in 1111. From then on, the abbot of the monastery became the highest authority over the population, which gave the Church considerable political influence in the 12th and 13th centuries.
