Information on the local nobility is listed here.

Count Raimond-Roger of the House of Foix is the nominal liege lord of the region.  He is a veteran crusader, a poet and patron of poets, and, though a catholic, he is a defender of the Cathar heresy.  He resides in Foix Castle, and though the covenant lies outside the raiding distance of his knights, he does command vast influence and resources that could be placed to bear should his ire be risen.

Lord Gilbert is a minor landholding noble whose mountainous land grant seems to include the pass that leads up to the covenant.  He commands a handful of men-at-arms, but has no knights sworn to his service.  His wife, the lovely Lady Sabine, is an ambitious young woman who might cause trouble for the covenant should the opportunity arise.
