In 731, Visigoth forces were rebelling against Arab rule. Bishop Anambad, the then bishop of Urgell, did not want to help the rebels and remained loyal to the authority of the Arab governor, so he was captured by Munussa, a Berber leader who led the revolt in the area. Munussa immediately executed Anambad's supporters, but preferred to take him alive to Llívia and burn him at the stake.
