Roland Viader is a doctor of mediaeval history. At present he works at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and teaches at the University of Toulouse.
In his doctoral thesis L'Andorre du IX au XIV siècle, Viader overturns the classical representations of mediaeval Andorran history, the traditional history of the origins of the co-principality. He describes how the cohesion of the Andorran people came about and the role played by this cohesion in the development of the institutions. He speaks, in fact, of the earliest manifestations of an Andorran way of doing things, of an identity that has lasted through the years.
