"Pathways of Power in late-Carolingian Catalonia", Ph. D. thesis, University of London, 2005.
It took me much too long to accomplish what others do as a matter of course and get my Ph. D. digitized in a fixed format and put up for download, especially since I control my own webspace, but I eventually did it, and here it is.
I might take this opportunity to remind you that actual publication of this text, revised, improved, and with new material and better maps, is now published as Rulers and Ruled in Frontier Catalonia, 880-1010: pathways of power, Studies in History (London: Royal Historical Society 2010), and you can buy it either here or here or in your local high-end booksellers if you ask them for it. If you like these free PDFs, why not try the real thing?
