Abstract: We consider continued fractions with partial quotients in the ring of integers of a quadratic number field $K$ and we prove a generalization to such continued fractions of the classical theorem of Lagrange. A particular example of these continued fractions is the $$-continued fraction introduced by Bernat. As a corollary of our theorem we show that for any quadratic Perron number $$, the $$-continued fraction expansion of elements in $$ is either finite of eventually periodic. The same holds for $$ being a square root of an integer. We also show that for certain 4 quadratic Perron numbers $$, the $$-continued fraction represents finitely all elements of the quadratic field $$, thus answering questions of Rosen and Bernat. Based on the validity of a conjecture of Mercat, these are all quadratic Perron numbers with this feature.
