Co-Princes of Andorra
The
Co-Princes of Andorra
are the two rulers of the Principality of
Andorra
, a small landlocked nation lying in the
Pyrenees
mountains between
France
and
Spain
. Founded in 1278 through a treaty between the
Bishop of Urgell
and the French
Count of Foix
, this unique
monarchical
arrangement has persisted through medieval times to the present day. Currently, the Bishop of Urgell (
Joan Enric Vives Sicília
) and the
President of France
(
François Hollande
) serve as Andorra's Co-Princes, following the transfer of the Count of Foix's claims to the
Crown of France
and, thence, to the
President
of the
French Republic
.
