Wilfred was of Gothic lineage^{Ref needed !} from the region of Carcassonne. Tradition claims he was born near Prades in the County of Conflent, now Rià^[1], in Roussillon, France.

In the dynastic struggles that accompanied the three years between Louis the Pious' death (840) and the Treaty of Verdun (843), the count of Barcelona (and many other margravates and counties: Septimania, Girona, Narbonne, Béziers, Agde, Melgueil, Nîmes, and Toulouse) Bernard of Septimania, aligned with Pepin II of Aquitaine, while the Bellonids maintained their allegiance to Charles the Bald. In 844, after taking Toulouse and capturing Bernard, Charles had him executed. In exchange for his fealty, Charles gave the dead count's honours of Barcelona, Girona, Narbonne, Nîmes, Agde, Béziers, and Melgueil to Sunifred.

In 848, William, son of Bernard, was named count of Toulouse and Empúries by Pepin II. He quickly moved to eliminate Sunifred and Sunyer.
