Alfonso I el Católico, rey de Asturias
ALFONSO ([705/10]-[757], bur Santa María). The Chronicle of Alfonso III names "Alfonso the son of Peter, who was the leader of the Cantabrians and was of the royal line" when recording his arrival in Asturias[65] . The Historia Silense records that "Petrus ex Recaredi… Gotorum principis progenie" had "duos filios… Adefonsum… et Froylam"[66]. His birth date range is estimated based on his having fought alongside his father-in-law, therefore before 737, according to the Chronicle of Alfonso III[67]. [Duque de Cantabria.] The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that, after the death of Fáfila (his brother-in-law, in 739), he was elected to succeed as ALFONSO I "el Católico" King of Asturias[68] . He took advantage of instability in the Muslim Government of al-Andalus following the Berber rebellion of 741, and of a severe famine in 750, to expand the area of Christian settlements to the north of the Duero river, a list of the towns he conquered being set out in the Chronicle of Alfonso III[69]. Ibn Idhari ́s al-Bayan Al-Moghrib records 748-753 as years of drought and famine, that in 750 "the people of Galicia raised themselves" and that many campaigns were directed against them, and that as a result of the famine "the major part of the [Muslim] population emigrated to Tangier, zawila and the African coastline "departing from" the river sidona, known as Barbat"[70] . King Alfonso established fortifications along the central Cordillera at Coimbra, Coria, Talavera, Madrid, Guadalajara and Medinaceli, fixing the northern frontier of the Muslim occupation for the next three centuries. On the other hand, King Alfonso was less successful along his eastern frontier, where the Muslims established settlements as far as the Pyrenees, including Pamplona, Tudela, Huesca, Girona and even Narbonne until it was captured by Pépin King of the Franks in [759] [71]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that King Alfonso "lived as king for eighteen years and died a natural death"[72]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Alfonsus” reigned 19 years, one month and one day[73]. Ibn-Khaldun states that "Alphonse fils de Pedro" died "en 142" ([4 May 759/22 Apr 760]) after reigning 18 years[74]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Adefonsus… cum uxore sua Regina Ermesinda" was buried "in territorio Cangas in Monasterio S. Mariæ"[75]. m (before 737) ERMESINDA de Asturias, daughter of PELAYO King of Asturias & his wife Gaudiosa ---. The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Bermisindam, Pelagii filiam” married “Adefonsus… Petri, Cantabriæ ducis filius” who succeeded King Fáfila[76]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III names "the daughter of Pelayo Ermesinda" when recording her marriage to "Alfonso the son of Peter"[77] . Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her first known child in [740]. Her marriage date is deduced from the Chronicle of Alfonso III recording that Alfonso "enjoyed many victories alongside his father-in-law"[78] . The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Adefonsus… cum uxore sua Regina Ermesinda" was buried "in territorio Cangas in Monasterio S. Mariæ"[79]. Mistress (1): ---. The name of King Alfonso's mistress is unknown. She is named Sisalda by Fernández de Béthencourt[80]. The primary source on which this is based has not been identified: according to Barrau-Dihigo, she is not named in any near contemporary source[81].

King Alfonso I & his wife ERMESINDA had three children:
a) FRUELA ([740]-murdered Cangas de Onís 768). The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "his son Fruela" succeeded his father as king "in the era 795 (757)" [82] . He succeeded his father in 757 as FRUELA I King of Asturias. The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that he "won many victories", including against the Cordobans at Pontubio in Galicia, that he conquered the Basque country, and "overcame the peoples of Galicia who were rebelling against him and violently laid waste the entire province"[83]. He imposed the celibacy of priests in Galicia. Ibn al-Athir records that Fruela I King of Asturias took control of “Lugo, Portucale, Salamanca, Zamora, Ávila, Segovia y Castilla”[84]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that King Fruela was killed by his own men after ruling "eleven years, three months, era 806 (768)"[85]. The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Froila filius eius [Adefonsi]” was killed “in Canicas… æra 806”[86]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Froila” reigned 11 years, five months and 20 days[87]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Froila… cum uxore sua Munia Oveti" was buried in 768[88]. m MUNIA Ovéquiz, daughter of OVECO --- & his wife --- [de Asturias] ([745/50]-[768]). The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that Fruela "overcame the rebellious Basques and took for himself a wife from their territory named Munia"[89] . The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Froila… cum uxore sua Munia Oveti" were buried in 768[90]. Her geographical origin is confirmed more precisely by the Chronicle of Alfonso III which records that [her son] Alfonso, after he was displaced by Maugerato, fled to Álava where he was received by his mother's relatives [91] . King Fruela I & his wife had [three] children: i) ALFONSO ([765]-Oviedo 20 Mar 842, bur Oviedo). The Historia Silense records that "Froyla… [et] uxorem… Monniam" had "filium… Adefonsum"[92]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "Alfonso the son of Fruela and grandson of the older Alfonso governed the palace" during the reign of Silo[93] . The same source states that his aunt Adosinda engineered his election to succeed on the death of her husband King Silo, but that Alfonso was displaced by Maugerato and fled to Álava where he was received by his mother's relatives [94] . He finally succeeded in 791, on the abdication of King Vermudo I[95], as ALFONSO II "el Casto" King of Asturias, anointed 14 Sep 791. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "subrinum suum Adefonsum", who had been exiled by Maugerato, succeeded when King Vermudo I was deposed[96] . King Alfonso II transferred the royal residence to Oviedo, maybe as early as 791[97]. Intense attacks by the Muslims continued, the region of Álava was sacked in 791 and Oviedo threatened, although King Alfonso's forces succeeding in routing the attackers at Llamas de Mouro[98] . The Annales Laurissenses Continuatio records that "Hadefonsi regis Gallæciæ et Asturiæ" sent "Frola" [not yet traced, maybe a relative] as legate to Charles I King of the Franks in 798 [99]. King Alfonso was deposed in Sep 801 and placed in the monastery of Ablaña, but restored as king in Sep 802[100]. King Alfonso II defeated the Muslims in the valley of Pisuerga in 805 and at Lodos, near Oviedo in 816, reinforcing the impenetrability felt by the new nation. A truce was negotiated with the Muslims in 823, which lasted 15 years[101]. King Alfonso started constructing a series of fortified villages and castles in the mountains above the upper Ebro to guard against Muslim attacks, which ultimately gave the name to the area of Castile[102] . The discovery between 818 and 842 of a tomb attributed to St James the Apostle, at the place later known as Santiago de Compostela, created a focus for the new nation. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that King Alfonso died "after ruling for fifty-two years" and was buried at Oviedo[103]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Adefonsum" was buried in "ecclesia S. Mariæ" which he had founded[104]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Adefonsus” reigned 52 years, five months and 13 days[105]. ii) [daughter . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified, although the Chronicon Albeldense names “Nepotianus cognatus regis Adefonsi” as successor of King Alfonso [106] . Her existence is therefore presumably speculative, on the assumption that “cognatus” in that source indicates brother-in-law (certainly one of the possible translations, although this meaning appears only to have become generally established in Latin language sources in later centuries). m NEPOCIANO, son of ---. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "Nepotianus, count of the palace, rebelled and seized power" after the death of King Alfonso I, but was defeated at the River Narcea by King Ramiro I who had been elected to succeed. The same source records that he fled the battlefield, was captured in the province of Primorias "by the two counts Scipio and Sonna", blinded, and confined to a monastery for the rest of his life[107] .] iii) [ROMÁN . Barrau-Dihigo asserts that Román, alleged son of King Fruela and supposed ancestor of the Traba family, was an entirely fictitious invention[108]. He is, for example, named in the Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos "Conde D. Roman hermano del Rey D. Alonso el Casto" as father of "D. Iuana Romanes" who married "Conde D. Mendo" [109].]
b) VIMERANO(-murdered [767]). The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that King Fruela "killed his brother… Vimerano with his own hands", the event being dated from the passage stating that the king was killed "not long after"[110].
c) ADOSINDA (-bur Pravia San Juan) - The Chronicle of Alfonso III records the marriage of "Adosinda, daughter of Alfonso" and Silo "after Aurelio's death", commenting that they "had no son" [111] . After her husband died, Adosinda engineered the election of her nephew Alfonso as king, but he was deposed by her half-brother Maugerato who forced Adosinda to become a nun at San Juan Bautista de Pravia[112] . The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Silo… cum uxore sua Regina Adosinda" was buried "in ecclesia S. Joannis Apostoli et Evang. in Pravia"[113]. m (773) SILO, son of --- (-783, bur Pravia San Juan). He succeeded on his marriage in 773 as SILO King of Asturias. The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Silo” maintained peace “cum Spania ob causam matris”[114], which suggests that his mother may have been Muslim. “Domnus Silo” donated “locum... Lucis” to found a monastery by charter dated 23 Aug 775, confirmed by “Ranimirus, Adefonsus, Hordoneus”, witnessed by “Nepotianus”[115] . He transferred the royal residence from Cangas de Onís to Pravia, on the Nalón mountain [116] . The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that he suppressed a rebellion in Galicia[117]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that Silo died "after the ninth year of his rule… as a result of a natural death, in the era 821 (783)"[118]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Silo” reigned 9 years, one month and one day[119]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Silo… cum uxore sua Regina Adosinda" was buried "in ecclesia S. Joannis Apostoli et Evang. in Pravia"[120]. Silo & his wife had one child: i) ADELGASTER (-after 17 Jan 780). “Addelgaster filius Silonis Regis… cum coniuge mea Brunildi” founded the monastery of Santa María de Obona by charter dated 17 Jan 780, the dating clause stating “regnante principe nostro Silone cum uxore sua Odisinda”[121] . If the dating relating to Adosinda´s family is accurate as shown above, Adelgaster must have been a young adult at the date of this charter, unless he was born from an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage of his father. m BRUNILDE, daughter of --- (-after 17 Jan 780). “Addelgaster filius Silonis Regis… cum coniuge mea Brunildi” founded the monastery of Santa María de Obona by charter dated 17 Jan 780[122]. - http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ASTURIAS,%20LEON.htm#AlfonsoIdied757

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_I_of_Asturias

Alfonso I de Asturias, rey de Asturias desde el año 739 al 757, apodado "el Católico". Sucedió a Favila y fue sucedido por su hijo Fruela.

Biografía [editar]

Nació en el año 693. Era yerno del caudillo Don Pelayo, ya que estaba casado con su hija Ermesinda, e hijo de Pedro, Duque de Cantabria; y según crónicas posteriores de dudosa credibilidad, descendiente del rey hispano visigodo Recaredo.

Con Alfonso I se intensifica la labor de Reconquista, aprovechando las luchas internas de los árabes. Aprovechando que los bereberes habían abandonado la zona noroeste de la península, se anexionó Galicia y el norte de Portugal en el 740. También conquistó León en el 754, e incluso llegó hasta La Rioja, pero no se pudo repoblar. Contó con la importante colaboración de su hermano Fruela, que capitaneó muchas de las campañas militares de su reinado.

En estas campañas de reconquista las ciudades y pueblos quedaban vacíos, tras matar a todos los musulmanes que hallaban en ellos y llevar a sus habitantes cristianos hacia las tierras más seguras del norte.

Este modo de actuar trajo consigo dos consecuencias de gran repercusión para el futuro, tanto desde el punto de vista demográfico como cultural, en todo el territorio:

* La creación del llamado «Desierto del Duero»: El área comprendida entre el río Duero y la Cordillera Cantábrica quedó prácticamente despoblada. Según Herculano, para dificultar así los futuros avances de tropas musulmanas hacia el norte, aunque otros historiadores consideran que esta despoblación no fue realizada conscientemente. La repoblación de parte de estas tierras comenzará a producirse 100 años más tarde, con gentes del propio reino y mozárabes venidos de reinos musulmanes.
* El incremento de población que experimentaron las tierras de la vertiente norte de la Cordillera, Cantabria y Asturias, con la gente traída de la Meseta Central, provocó la necesaria roturación de nuevas tierras y la fundación de nuevos pueblos y aldeas, configurando el tipo de poblamiento que ha llegado hasta nuestros días.
La incorporación por Alfonso I de gentes procedentes de los Campos Góticos, que conservaban cierta tradición guerrera, bastante perdida por la población hispano-romana, si se exceptúa a los pobladores de norte, menos inculturados en el mundo romano, dio impulso a la reconquista y permitió reforzar la zona sur del reino más expuesto a las incursiones enemigas.

Matrimonio y descendencia

Casó con Ermesinda, hija de Don Pelayo. Fueron sus hijos:

* Fruela I, rey de Asturias.
* Vimarano.
* Adosinda. Casó con Silo, sexto rey de Asturias.

Alfonso I de Asturias. La imagen que se ve aquí de este rey forma parte de una serie de estatuas dedicadas a todos los monarcas de España, mandadas hacer para la decoración del Palacio Real de Madrid en el reinado de Fernando VI. En un principio la idea era que adornasen la cornisa del palacio. Los autores son Domenico Olivieri y Felipe de Castro. Parece ser que nunca llegaron a su destino y se colocaron en distintos lugares de la ciudad (Plaza de Oriente, El Retiro, Puerta de Toledo) y algunas se llevaron a otras provincias.Alfonso I de Asturias, rey de Asturias desde el año 739 al 757, apodado "el Católico".

Alfonso I of Asturias

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Statue in Madrid (J. Porcel, 1750-53).

Alfonso I (more rarely Alonso), called the Catholic (el Católico), was the King of Asturias from 739 to his death in 757.

He was son of Duke Peter of Cantabria, and held many lands in that region. He may have been the hereditary chief of the Basques, but this is uncertain. He is said to have married Ermesinda, daughter of Pelayo, who founded the kingdom after the Battle of Covadonga in which he reversed the Moorish conquest of the region. He succeeded Pelayo's son, his brother-in-law, Favila on the throne after the latter's premature death.

Whether Pelayo or Favila were ever considered kings in their own lifetime is debatable, but Alfonso certainly was. He began a lifelong war against the Moors. In 740, he conquered Galicia and in 754, León. He went as far as La Rioja. However, the few urban populations of these frontier regions fled to his northern dominions, leaving a depopulated buffer between the Christian and Muslim states.

This created the so-called Desert of the Duero, an empty region between the River Duero and the Asturian Mountains. Alfonso intended it this way; he wished to leave such a zone where any invading army would find it too difficult to survive. Besides the martial, the demographic and cultural effect of this policy on later Asturian and Spanish and Portuguese history is large. It was over a hundred years before the region was repopulated (an event known as the Repoblación).

The Arab writers speak of the kings of the northwest of Iberia as the Beni-Alfons (descendants of Alfonso), and appear to recognize them as a Galician royal stock derived from Alfonso I. Alfonso is credited with establishing the shrine of Our Lady of Covadonga in commemoration of his father in law's victory at the Battle of Covadonga.

Afonso I das Astúrias (? — 757) foi Rei das Astúrias e Duque da Cantábria desde 739, descendente do rei visigodo Recaredo. Alguns autores indicam que terá casado com Ermesinda, filha de Pelágio, tornando-se, portanto, seu genro e herdeiro do trono. Era herdeiro das terras na Cantábria por parte do seu pai, o Duque Pedro de Cantábria.

Afonso I autoproclama-se Rei das Astúrias, ao contrário de Pelágio e seu filho Fávila, e, com ele, retoma-se a Reconquista, aproveitando as guerras internas dos mouros. Anexa-se a Galiza em 740, Leão em 754. Governou durante 19 anos.

Alfonso I, esposo de Ermesinda sucedió a Favila y reinó durante 18 años. “Era hijo de Pedro, duque de Cantabria , que vino a Asturias y tomó por mujer a Bermisinda (Ermesinda), hija de Pelayo, el cual, había dispuesto este matrimonio. Cuando se posesionó del reino dio muchas batallas, con la divina protección. Ocupó victoriosamente las ciudades de León y Astorga que estaban en poder del enemigo y yermó los llamados Campos góticos hasta el río Duero, extendiendo el imperio de los cristianos. Amado de Dios y de los hombres falleció de muerte natural”.

At the time of his rein, questions emerged about the Asturian monarchy having had Jewish ancestry. In a desperate attempt, King Alfonso tried to obliterate these "rumors" by executing those who he suspected had knowledge of this hazardous secret. Nevertheless, some of his descendants during the Spanish Inquisition were indeed labels as Jews and, as an attempt to avoid persecution, relocated to the Canary Islands and later on to the Americas (including Puerto Rico).

http://genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00120381&tree=LEO

Alfonso V, hereda el trono a la edad de cinco años, tras la muerte de su padre Bermudo II. Dada su minoría de edad, su madre, Elvira García, (hija del conde de Castilla), y el conde gallego Menendo González, actuarán de regentes. Sus primeros años, coinciden con los últimos de Almanzor, continuando las incursiones musulmanas, sufriendo, los cristianos la gran derrota de Cervera. Pero la muerte de éste en 1002, dará paso a un período de tranquilidad, primero, debido a las pugnas en Al-Andalus por la sucesión, que recayó en el hijo de Almanzor, desatándose de nuevo a la muerte de éste en 1008, subiendo al trono su hermano, Abderramán “Sanchuelo” con el patrocinio de los nobles cristianos. Conseguida cierta paz con los musulmanes, y nombrado mayor de edad, Alfonso V, trató de controlar el reino, afianzando su poder. En 1017, otorgará los llamados “fueros de León”, que sancionaban jurídicamente el feudalismo leonés, tras una reunión con los nobles que forman la Curia. Ante ella tratará también de afirmar el poder regio sobre el de los nobles. Esta consolidación de su poder, le permitió retomar la política de expansión y consolidación que sus predecesores en el cargo habían puesto en marcha hace muchos años, y que se había visto paralizada durante los últimos reinados. No sólo repuebla, sino que también va a intentar conquistar nuevos territorios en la Lusitania. En 1028, pone cerco a la ciudad de Viseu, pero en un reconocimiento del recinto amurallado, será asesinado por una flecha lanzada por el enemigo desde las murallas. El elevado calor, hizo al rey machar sin protección alguna, lo que posibilitó su muerte. Durante su reinado repelió también nuevas incursiones de los normandos, y logró poner fin a las disputas con los Navarros por los territorios limítrofes entre ambos reinos, al casarse con Urraca, hermana del entonces rey navarro, Sancho Garcés III. A su muerte le sucedió su hijo, Bermudo III.

Alfonso V de León, el Noble (c. 994 – Viseu, 1028). Rey de León desde 999 hasta su muerte. Sucedió a su padre Bermudo II a la edad de cinco años, quedando bajo la tutela de doña Elvira García, su madre, y del conde gallego Menendo González. Reconstruyó la ciudad de León, que había sido dañada por los ataques de Almanzor y reunió a los nobles en Curia Plena para la elaboración y posterior aprobación del Fuero de León en 1017. Alfonso V llega a la mayoría de edad en el año 1017, heredando un reino lleno de inestabilidad política. Su madre Elvira García, hasta entonces regente, y los tres nobles más importantes del reino desaparecieron del mapa en ese mismo año: el conde de Castilla, el jefe de los Banu Gómez y el conde gallego Menendo Rodríguez, que habían sido fuente de problemas en la regencia anterior. Alfonso V quiere dar un giro a la administración, y para eso necesita primero un nuevo marco jurídico. Así, en 1017, en una reunión de la Curia Regia, se promulga el Fuero de León, que se ha calificado como la sanción jurídica del feudalismo leonés. Con ella se buscaba poner fin a los desórdenes de la etapa anterior y recuperar el poder real. Reciben el nombre de «Fuero de León» un conjunto de preceptos decretados por el rey de León Alfonso V en un concilium reunido en la catedral de León en el año 1020. A estos 20 preceptos se les añadieron otros 28 que regulaban la vida local en la ciudad de León.

Casó por primera vez en el año 1013 con Elvira Menéndez, fallecida el 2 de diciembre de 1022. Hija del conde gallego Menendo González y su esposa Muniadona, siendo sus abuelos paternos el conde Gonzalo Menéndez «Dux Magnus de Portugal» y la condesa Ilduara Peláez. Nacieron dos hijos de este matrimonio: Bermudo III de León (1017-1037), rey de León desde el año 1028 al 1037. Sancha de León (1016-1067), esposa del rey Fernando I de León, el Magno, hijo de Sancho Garcés III de Pamplona. Contrajo un segundo matrimonio en el año 1023 con Urraca, hija del rey García Sánchez II de Pamplona el Temblón. De este segundo matrimonio nació: Jimena Alfonso, quien antiguos autores dicen que contrajo matrimonio con el conde Fernando Gundemáriz, aunque historiadores modernos sostienen que la esposa del conde Fernando Gundemáriz fue Sancha Ordóñez.

Falleció sitiando la plaza de Viseu, en Portugal en 1028. Su cadáver fue llevado a la ciudad de León y sepultado en el Panteón de Reyes de San Isidoro de León, en compañía de sus padres. El sepulcro de piedra en el que fue depositado el cadáver del rey se conserva en la actualidad, y en su cubierta aparece esculpida la siguiente inscripción latina: H. IACET ADEFONSUS QUI POPVLATIT LEGIONEM...ET DEDIT BONOS FOROS ET FECIT/ECCLESIAM HANC LVTO ET LATERE.

Birth: unknown, Spain Death: Aug. 7, 1028 Viseu Viseu Municipality Viseu, Portugal

Alfonso was the son of Bermudo II, King of Leon and Elvira Garcia, born about 995.

His first wife was Elvira Melendez, the daughter of his tutor Menendo González at whose house he was raised as a child. They had two children:

Bermudo III
Sancha who would marry Fernando I, King of Castile
Elvira died in 1022 and Alfonso became the husband of Urraca, the daughter of Garcia Sanchez II. The King of Pamploma would protest the marriage on the basis of incest, but the marriage took place in 1023. They had one daughter, Jimena Leon.

Alfonso was the King of Leon 999 to 1028, and Alfonso V "the Noble", Emperor of Spain.

His father died when he was a young child of four or five, his mother acted as regent until she retired to a nunnery in 1007.

He was killed by an arrow while besieging the town of Viseu in northern Portugal, then held by the Muslims. According to his wishes, King Alfonso was buried next to his first wife at the Church of Saint John the Baptist and San Pelayo which became the Basilica of San Isidoro when the latter saint's remains were transferred from Seville.

She was first married by her father to Ordoño III of León in 951. Fernán's support of Sancho the Fat cost her her husband's affection and she was repudiated in 956. By him she had two, and possibly three children:

Ordoño, who died young

Theresa, who became a nun

(perhaps) Bermudo II of León, whose maternity is subject to scholarly debate

In 958, after Ordoño's death, she was remarried to Ordoño IV. He died in 960.

Her third and most important marriage was contracted in 970 to Sancho II of Pamplona. Both Sancho and Urraca were grandchildren of Sancho I of Pamplona, because Urraca's mother was Sancho I's daughter Sancha. With Sancho, she had several children:

García Sánchez II of Pamplona

Ramiro (died 992)

Gonzalo, who ruled the County of Aragon with Urraca as regent

Después de su fallecimiento, el cadáver de la reina Urraca fue sepultado en la colegiata de Covarrubias. En unas piedras pintadas de rojo y azul, bajo las siglas D.O.M. y las armas reales, aparece la siguiente inscripción esculpida en letras latinas en el siglo XVII:

Sus restos reposan en un sepulcro de piedra, colocado en el presbiterio de la colegiata. El sepulcro aparece cubierto con una tapa a dos vertientes y con el escudo de Castilla y León en los frentes del sepulcro.[10]​

García Sánchez II of Pamplona

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

García Sánchez II, sometimes García II, III, IV or V (died 1000), called the Trembling, the Tremulous, or the Trembler (in Spanish, el Temblón), was the king of Pamplona and count of Aragón from 994 until his death. He was the son of King Sancho II and Urraca Fernández.

He tried to escape the submission his father had offered to Córdoba, as a result of which he had to face Almanzor. In 996 he was forced to seek peace in Córdoba. In 997 during an expedition into the land of Calatayud, García killed the governor's brother. Almanzor took revenge by beheading 50 Christians.

At the Battle of Cervera in July 1000, he allied with king Alfonso V of León, count Sancho I of Castile, and count García Gómez of Carrión.

He married Jimena, daughter of Ferdinand Vermúdez, count of Cea by Elvira Díaz (aunt of count García Gómez). Among their children were the future king Sancho Garcés III and Urraca, later the second wife of Alfonso V of Leon.

García Sánchez II of Pamplona

(Redirected from García Sánchez II of Navarre)

García Sánchez II nicknamed Temblón. He was king of Pamplona between the years 994 - 1000.

He was the son of King Sancho II Garcés Abarca and Queen Urraca Fernández.

Married to Queen Jimena, daughter of Count Ferdinand Vermúdez and his wife Elvira. Among their children are the future king Sancho Garcés III and Urraca, who married Alfonso V of Leon.

He tried to shake off the submission that his father had offered to Cordoba, which, soon to climb to the throne, he faced Almanzor, but in the year 996 was forced to seek peace in Córdoba.

Around the year 997 in a dispatch from Pamplona to land Calatayud killed the brother of the governor. Almanzor avenged the killing by cutting the heads of 50 Christians.

In the battle of Cervera de Pisuerga in July of the year 1000, the coalition is Count Sancho García of Castile, Alfonso V of León, García Carrión Gómez and García Sánchez II of Navarre.

García Sánchez II, sometimes García II, III, IV or V (d. 1004), called the Trembling, the Tremulous, or the Trembler (in Spanish, el Temblón) by his contemporaries, was the king of Pamplona and count of Aragón from 994 until his death. He was the son of King Sancho II and Urraca Fernández.

Throughout his reign, his foreign policy seems to have been closely linked to that of Castile. His mother was aunt of count Sancho García of Castile, and also of the powerful count of Saldaña, García Gómez of Carrión, and she appears to have played a role in forming a bridge between the kingdom and county.

He joined his cousin Sancho in attempting to break from the submission his father had offered to Córdoba, as a result of which he had to face Almanzor. In 996 he was forced to seek peace in Córdoba. In 997 during an expedition into the land of Calatayud, García killed the governor's brother. Almanzor took revenge by beheading 50 Christians. At the Battle of Cervera in July 1000, he allied with counts Sancho García of Castile, and García Gómez of Saldaña, to defeat and nearly rout Almanzor, and tradition names him one of the Christian leaders at the 1002 Battle of Calatañazor, which resulted in the death of Almanzor, and the consequent crisis in the Caliphate of Córdoba. He died 1004, when his son Sancho succeeded to the kingdom.

Domestically, he granted the rule in Aragon to his brother Gonzalo, under the tutelage of his mother Urraca.[1] A tradition reports that he freed all of the Muslim captives being held in the kingdom. He had married by August 981, Jimena, daughter of Ferdinand Vermúdez, count of Cea by Elvira Díaz (aunt of count García Gómez of Saldaña). Among their children were the future king Sancho Garcés III and Urraca, later the second wife of Alfonso V of Leon.

García was certainly dead by 1004, when his son Sancho Garcés III first appears as king.

García Sánchez of Castile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from García II of Castile)
García Sánchez (d. 1029) was the last independent count of Castile from 1017 to his death. Son of Sancho García and his wife Urraca, he succeeded his father when he was only a boy.

During his minority the post of regent was held by several Castilian magnates and Urraca, Abbess of Covarrubias, the young king's aunt. The county fell under the protection of King Sancho III of Navarre (Sancho the Great).

He reached his majority in 1028. He was assassinated the next year when leaving the royal palace in León by the brothers Rodrigo Vela and Íñigo Vela. He had gone there to meet his fiancée, the princess Sancha, daughter of Alfonso V of León.

The countship was assigned to his nephew Ferdinand, younger son of his sister Mayor and her husband Sancho the Great.

De Wikipedia:
Heredó el trono al fallecer en 994 su padre, el rey Sancho Garcés II. Trató de sacudirse la sumisión que su padre había ofrecido a Córdoba, para lo cual, al poco de subir al trono, se enfrentó a Almanzor, pero en el año 996 se vio obligado a pedir la paz en Córdoba.

Hacia 997 en una expedición de pamploneses a tierras de Calatayud se dio muerte al hermano del gobernador. Almanzor vengó esta muerte cortando la cabeza de cincuenta cristianos. En la batalla de Cervera, en julio del año 1000, se coaligaron el conde Sancho García de Castilla, Alfonso V de León, García Gómez de Saldaña y García Sánchez II, aunque no consta que el rey pamplonés se encontrara en la batalla.

Falleció alrededor del año 1000, fecha de su última aparición en la documentación. Después de su muerte, hubo un interregno, gestionado por Sancho Ramírez de Viguera, su primo hermano, hasta que su hijo primogénito, Sancho Garcés III, entonces menor de edad, ocupó el trono en 1004.

Biography[edit] Throughout his reign, his foreign policy seems to have been closely linked to that of Castile.

At the Battle of Cervera in July 1000, he joined, along with count García Gómez of Saldaña, in a coalition headed by count Sancho García of Castile that was defeated by Almanzor (that count Sancho led the group is thought to reflect García's decline). Tradition names him one of the Christian leaders at the 1002 Battle of Calatañazor, which resulted in the death of Almanzor and the consequent crisis in the Caliphate of Córdoba, but there is no contemporary record of him after 1000, while his cousin Sancho Ramírez of Viguera may have been ruling in Pamplona in 1002.

Domestically, he granted the rule in Aragon to his brother Gonzalo, under the tutelage of his mother Urraca.[2] A tradition reports that he freed all of the Muslim captives being held in the kingdom.

Marriage and children[edit] García Sánchez II was married to Jimena Fernández, daughter of Fernando Bermúdez, Count of Cea and a distinguished member of the highest ranks of the nobility of the Kingdom of León. They had the following children:[3]

Sancho Garcés III, King of Navarre and Count of Aragon from 1004 until his death in 1035. Elvira Garcés, nun in the Monastery of Leyre. García Garcés Urraca Garcés, Queen consort of León by her marriage to Alfonso V of León from 1023 until her death in 1031.

O Sancho Garcés, Rey de Pamplona que unificó temporalmente la España cristiana (?, n. 992 - ?, Navarra, 1035). Era hijo de García Sánchez, el Trémulo, a quien sucedió en el Trono en el año 1000, inicialmente bajo un consejo de regencia. Aprovechando la desintegración del Califato de Córdoba, dirigió toda su atención hacia la unificación de los principados cristianos de la península Ibérica y algunos del otro lado de los Pirineos: siguiendo las ideas feudales dominantes en la Europa del siglo XI, estableció una red de relaciones de vasallaje y parentesco que le hizo rey -teóricamente- de un extenso territorio que iba «desde Zamora hasta Barcelona», incluyendo Gascuña. Se casó con la hija del conde de Castilla en 1010, lo cual facilitó un acuerdo favorable sobre las fronteras entre ambos estados (1016). Anexó a su reino los condados de Sobrarbe y Ribagorza, alegando derechos dinásticos para intervenir en sus conflictos internos contra las pretensiones del conde de Barcelona (1019). Más tarde, sometió también a este último a vasallaje, a cambio de la ayuda prestada en el conflicto contra su propia madre (hacia 1023). Por las mismas fechas, el apoyo al conde de Gascuña en su lucha contra el Condado de Toulouse, le proporcionó al rey de Pamplona el vizcondado del Labourd y el vasallaje de Gascuña (que teóricamente heredó Sancho al morir el conde, que era su tío). Su parentesco con la familia condal castellana le permitió igualmente intervenir en aquel estado, apoyando la autoridad de su cuñado (el conde Niño don García) frente a los nobles y a la intromisión del rey de León; Sancho casó a su hermana Urraca con el rey leonés para pacificar las relaciones con él y poder así ejercer libremente su influencia sobre Castilla. Al morir asesinado el conde, don García durante un viaje a León (1029), Sancho ocupó Castilla alegando los derechos sucesorios de su mujer, a pesar de que existían herederos masculinos con más derechos para regir aquel Condado. Esto hizo estallar la guerra con el rey de León, que también ambicionaba la anexión de Castilla; la suerte de la guerra entre los dos reyes favoreció al de Pamplona, que ocupó León, Zamora y Astorga (1034). De ese momento data una acuñación de moneda en la que Sancho se titula emperador. Sin embargo, su «imperio» fue efímero: en 1035 el rey leonés reconquistaba su capital (que era la ciudad que daba derecho a usar el título imperial). Y en aquel mismo año moría Sancho, dejando sus estados repartidos entre sus hijos: Pamplona, las Vascongadas y la Bureba para García; Castilla para Fernando; Sobrarbe y Ribagorza para Gonzalo; y Aragón para Ramiro. Nota: Rey de Pamplona (1000-1035) y Conde de Aragón (1000-1035), de Sobrarbe-Ribagorza (1018-1035) y de Castilla (1029-1035). Fue asesinado. No se casó con Sancha de Aybar, pero tuvo un hijo natural Ramiro I°, quien llegó a ser el Primer Rey de Aragón. (Bajado del Internet por Rolando Rivero Lavayén, 2012.)

Sancho Garcés III de Pamplona Sancho Garcés III (c. 990/92 – 18 de octubre de 1035), apodado el Mayor o el Grande, fue rey de Pamplona desde el año 1004 hasta su muerte. Dominó por matrimonio en Castilla, Álava y Monzón (1028–1035), que aumentó con el Condado de Cea (1030–1035), a lo que añadió los territorios de Sobrarbe y Ribagorza desde 1015 y 1018, respectivamente. Su intervención en el corazón del Reino de León en 1034-1035 ha sido objeto de interpretaciones opuestas, desde una guerra relámpago a una colaboración más o menos voluntaria con Bermudo III (ya que la documentación no menciona luchas entre leoneses y navarros). Designado en una carta como Rex Ibericus por el Abad Oliva y Sancio rege Navarriae Hispaniarum por el cronista galo Rodolfus Glaber, autores como Germán de Iruña sostuvieron en 1935 la discutida interpretación de que en 1034, tras la toma de León, se hizo proclamar Imperator totius Hispaniae, en base a una moneda con la inscripción «Imperator» acuñada en Nájera y atribuida a este monarca. Dicha moneda actualmente es considerada posterior a Sancho el Mayor, y las afirmaciones que sostenían que se intituló imperator carecen de fundamento. Reinado Sus padres fueron García Sánchez II el Temblón y la reina Jimena Fernández, hija de Fernando Bermúdez, conde de Cea, y la condesa Elvira Díaz de la casa de Saldaña. Ascendió al trono entre el año 1000 y el 1004, heredando el reino de Pamplona con el condado de Aragón, bajo la tutoría de un consejo de regencia integrado por los obispos, su madre y su abuela Urraca Fernández. Tenía su residencia en Nájera y se le considera el primer rey europeísta, extendiendo sus relaciones más allá de los Pirineos, con el ducado de Gascuña, y aceptando las nuevas corrientes políticas, religiosas e intelectuales. Su reinado coincidió con la crisis del mundo califal, iniciado a la muerte de Almanzor y terminado con el principio de los Reino de Taifas. Pretendió la unificación de los Estados cristianos, bien por vínculos de vasallaje o bajo su propio mando. Condado de Castilla Inició un período de relaciones cordiales con el Condado de Castilla, facilitadas por su matrimonio con Munia, también conocida como Mayor, hija del conde castellano Sancho García. De este matrimonio nacieron Fernando (conde de Castilla), Gonzalo (régulo de Sobrarbe y Ribagorza) y las hijas Mayor y Jimena, reina de León al casarse con Bermudo III. En el año 1016 Fortún Ochoa de Cameros en el nombre de Sancho el Mayor y Nuño Álvarez de Bureba, enviado del conde de Castilla Sancho García, establecían mediante acuerdo y conveniencia los límites entre el Reino de Navarra y el Condado de Castilla en el tramo riojano-soriano, frontera que arrancaba desde el Monte San Lorenzo hasta Garray. Concluyendo a favor del reino navarro las disputas sobre el control de la zona riojana de San Millán de la Cogolla, donde Castilla tenía gran influencia desde los tiempos de Fernán González, como se puede comprobar en la documentación de San Millán. Sancho III apoyó el matrimonio entre García Sánchez de Castilla (hijo de Sancho García) y Sancha de León. Cuando García se dirigía a León para desposarse, fue asesinado. Por su matrimonio con Muniadona de Castilla (hermana de García Sánchez), correspondió a Sancho regir los destinos de Castilla y Álava, si bien parece ser que se le exigió que fuera su segundogénito quien fuera designado como conde de Castilla, y aunque Sancho nunca fuera conde de Castilla, pasó a gobernar su territorio. Desde el año 1030 aparece rigiendo sobre las tierras del condado de Cea, «Regnante rege Sanctio in Ceia et rege Ueremudo in Legione». El territorio de Cea además entraba dentro de su influencia, ya que la madre de Sancho el Mayor era hermana del conde de Cea Pedro Fernández, muerto alrededor del año 1028. Conquistó Astorga y León (1034). Si bien durante mucho tiempo se consideró que Sancho se tituló imperator, se trata de una teoría que sostuvo en 1935 Germán de Iruña y fue seguida por numerosos autores, tomando como base una moneda atribuida a su reinado con la inscripción «Imperator» acuñada en Nájera. Pero dicha moneda sería un ejemplar único y actualmente es considerada posterior a Sancho el Mayor, tratándose de una emisión del reinado de Alfonso VII de León, por lo que la base que sostenía que se intituló imperator carece de fundamento. El 21 de diciembre de 1034 Sancho restauró la sede palentina, encomendando al obispo Ponce la organización de la misma. Condado de Ribagorza Aprovechó las dificultades internas de Sobrarbe-Ribagorza para hacer valer sus intereses como descendiente de Dadildis de Pallars y marido de Muniadona, que era nieta de Ava de Ribagorza. Las tierras de Sobrarbe, asoladas por el califato, fueron incorporadas al reino de Pamplona hacia 1015. A la muerte de Guillermo Isárnez de Ribagorza, entre finales de 1017 y comienzos de 1018, Sancho Garcés se hizo con el control del territorio ribagorzano correspondiente a Guillermo Isárnez, en base a que su esposa era su legítima heredera. El resto del territorio ribagorzano correspondiente a Mayor de Ribagorza en base al reparto de 1010, fue incorporado por el rey de Pamplona hacia 1025. Gascuña Bajo su mandato el reino cristiano de Nájera-Pamplona alcanzó su mayor extensión territorial, abarcando casi todo el tercio norte peninsular, desde Astorga hasta Ribagorza. A la muerte de Sancho Guillermo, conde de Gascuña, el 4 de octubre de 1032, trató de extender su autoridad sobre la antigua Vasconia ultrapirenaica comprendida entre el Pirineo y el Garona, aunque no lo consiguió, al heredar el ducado Eudes: Por el Norte, la frontera del reino pamplonés está clara, los Pirineos (caso de haberse extendido la autoridad de los reyes navarros hasta el Baztán, lo que es lo más probable, pero que no se puede acreditar hasta el 1066), y no se modificó. No es cierto, pese a todas las veces que se ha dicho, que Sancho III lograra el dominio de Gascuña (la única Vasconia de entonces, es decir, el territorio entre los Pirineos y el Garona, en el que la población que podemos considerar vasca por su lengua sólo era una minoría). El rey navarro únicamente pretendió suceder en 1032 al duque de Gascuña Sancho Guillermo, muerto sin descendencia, lo que bastó para que en algunos documentos se le cite reinando en Gascuña. Pero la verdad es que la herencia recayó en Eudes. Su lugar de enterramiento aún constituye objeto de controversia, puesto que tanto el Monasterio de San Salvador de Oña (Oña) como la Panteón de los Reyes de San Isidoro (León) tienen tumbas que afirman corresponden a este monarca, y fuentes escritas que documentan ambos. Aun así, la mayoría de los historiadores consideran que Sancho está enterrado en Oña. Reparto entre sus hijos Antes de morir (1035) realizó testamento según el derecho navarro, por el que el reino patrimonial de Pamplona sería heredado por su primogénito, García, que gobernaría directamente en Pamplona, más algunas tierras en Aragón. El condado de Castilla, herencia de su mujer pero vinculado al reino de León, fue repartido entre dos hijos legítimos: a García le correspondió Álava y gran parte del Condado de Castilla (La Bureba, Montes de Oca, Trasmiera, Encartaciones y Castilla Vieja); mientras que Fernando, que ya había sido designado como conde de Castilla en 1029, recibió un mermado condado de Castilla (la zona burgalesa hasta el Duero). y dependientes del rey de Pamplona: así Ramiro recibió tierras en Aragón y en Navarra, y Gonzalo en Sobrarbe, Ribagorza y en otros puntos distantes de Aragón. Así lo sostiene Philippe Sénac: «On a longtemps supposé, à partir de sources telles que la Crónica Silense ou la Crónica Najerense, que Sanche III divisa son royaume entre ses fils selon des parts qui reflétaient la hiérarchie des droits à l'intérieur de la famille royale. Ramire, né avant le mariage de son père avec domna Muña, la fille du comte de Castille, aurait reçu l'Aragon, puis, suivant l'ordre de primogéniture, García la Navarre, Fernando la Castille, et Gonzalo le Sobrarbe et la Ribagorce. Cette thèse repose sur un document daté de 1035, dans lequel Sanche III remit le territoire aragonais à son fils Ramire, Loarre, San Emitier et les villas qui en relevaient à Gonzalo, et Ruesta et Pitiella à García. Cette thèse fut d'abord mise en cause par J.-M. Ramos Loscertales pour lequel elle semblait contraire aux traditions employées á l'époque en matière de transmission successorale, puis définitivament rejetée par A.Ubieto. Selon cet auteur, l'emsemble du royaume de Sanche III revint a García; Fernando reçut le titre de comte de Castille, Gonzalo de regulus en Sobrarbe et Ribagorce, et Ramire celui de regulus en Aragon». Algunos autores como Tomás Urzainqui sostienen que: «Sancho III el Mayor no tuvo que adjudicar nada a su hijo Fernando en forma testamentaria, ya que el condado de Castilla lo había recibido éste, en 1029, directamente por los derechos de su tío el "infant" García, derechos que habían correspondido a la madre de aquél doña Mayor». De hecho, Fernando tras la muerte de su tío García Sánchez en León aparece en la documentación como conde de Castilla: «regnante rex Sancio In Legione et comite Fernando in Castella», «Fredinando Sánchez comitatum gerente», «regnante gratia Dei, principe nostro Sanctio et prolis eis [sic] Fredenandus comes». No obstante, la herencia de Sancho el Mayor ha sido motivo de polémica entre los historiadores, dado que algunos no aplican el derecho navarro a dicha herencia. Así José María Lacarra afirma que: «Lo cierto es que la tradición jurídica pirenaica, establecida ya en el siglo X por la dinastía de Sancho Garcés, se basaba precisamente en la no desintegración del Reino, es decir, en transmitir al sucesor todos los territorios. En el Reino de Pamplona, territorios distantes como Aragón y Nájera se mantienen bajo las mismas riendas a la muerte de Sancho Garcés I (905–925). Ahora bien, aun cuando el primogénito era el único que heredaba los bienes patrimoniales, es decir, el Reino, con los acrecentamientos que éste hubiese obtenido, el deseo de dotar a los demás hijos había introducido la costumbre de constituirles un patrimonio con bienes territoriales que podían trasmitir a su herederos, aunque sin desvincularlos del Reino, ya que éstos estaban sometidos a la fidelidad debida al Soberano, y los bienes eran tenidos "sub manu" del primogénito». El desmembrado condado de Castilla heredado por Fernando I volvería a estar, tras la muerte de Sancho, bajo la autoridad del rey de León, como pone de manifiesto la documentación castellana, donde se sigue consignando el nombre y título del rey de León.

De Wikipedia:
Sancho Garcés III (c. 990/92 – 18 de octubre de 1035), apodado el Mayor o el Grande, fue rey de Pamplona desde el año 1004 hasta su muerte. Dominó por matrimonio en Castilla, Álava y Monzón (1028–1035), que aumentó con el Condado de Cea (1030–1035), a lo que añadió los territorios de Sobrarbe y Ribagorza desde 1015 y 1018, respectivamente. Su intervención en el corazón del Reino de León en 1034-1035 ha sido objeto de interpretaciones opuestas, desde una guerra relámpago a una colaboración más o menos voluntaria con Bermudo III (ya que la documentación no menciona luchas entre leoneses y navarros).

Sancho III Garcés (c. 992 – 18 October 1035), called the Great (Spanish: el Mayor, Basque: Nagusia), succeeded as a minor to the Kingdom of Navarre in 1004, and through conquest and political maneuvering increased his power, until at the time of his death in 1035 he controlled the majority of Christian Iberia, bearing the title of rex Hispaniarum. Having gone further than any of his predecessors in uniting the divided kingdoms of Iberia, his life's work was undone when he divided his domains shortly before his death to provide for each of his sons. The Kingdom of Navarre existed for almost six centuries after his death, but was never as powerful again.
Regency and early acquisitions

Sancho was born around 992 to García Sánchez II the Tremulous and Jimena Fernández, daughter of the count of Cea on the Galician frontier. He was raised in Leyra. His father last appears in 1000, while Sancho is first found as king in 1004, inheriting the kingdom of Pamplona (later known as Navarre). This gap has led to speculation as to whether there was an interregnum, while one document shows Sancho Ramírez of Viguera reigning in Pamplona in 1002, perhaps ruling as had Jimeno Garcés during the youth of García Sánchez I three generations earlier. On his succession, Sancho initially ruled under a council of regency led by the bishops, his mother Jimena, and grandmother Urraca Fernández.

Sancho aspired to unify the Christian principalities in the face of the fragmentation of Muslim Spain into the taifa kingdoms following the Battle of Calatañazor. In about 1010 he married Muniadona Mayor, daughter of Sancho García of Castile, and in 1015 he began a policy of expansion. He displaced Muslim control in the depopulated former county of Sobrarbe. In Ribagorza, another opportunity arose. The 1010 partition of the county left it divided between William Isarn, illegitimate son of count Isarn, and Raymond III of Pallars Jussà and his wife, Mayor of Castile, who was both niece of Isarn and aunt of Sancho's wife. In 1018, William Isarn tried to solidify his control over the Arán valley, but was killed, and Sancho jumped on the opportunity to take his portion, presumably based on some loose claim derived from his wife. Raymond and Mayor annulled their marriage, creating a further division finally resolved in 1025 when Mayor retired to a Castilian convent and Sancho received the submission of Raymond as vassal. He also forced Berengar Raymond I of Barcelona to become his vassal, though he was already a vassal of the French king. Berengar met Sancho in Zaragoza and in Navarre many times to confer on a mutual policy against the counts of Toulouse.

Acquisition of Castile

In 1016, Sancho fixed the border between Navarre and Castile, part of the good relationship he established by marrying Muña Mayor Sánchez (Muniadona), daughter of Sancho García of Castile. In 1017, he became the protector of Castile for the young García Sánchez. However, relations between the three Christian entities of León, Castile, and Navarre soured after the assassination of Count García in 1027. He had been bethrothed to Sancha, daughter of Alfonso V, who was set thus to gain from Castile lands between the rivers Cea and Pisuerga (as the price for approving the marital pact). As García arrived in León for his wedding, he was killed by the sons of a noble he had expelled from his lands.

Sancho III had opposed the wedding and the expected expansion of Leonese power to Castile, and used García's death to reverse this. Using the pretext of the protectorship he had exercised over Castile, he immediately occupied the county and named as successor his own younger son Ferdinand, who was nephew of the deceased count, bringing it fully within his sphere of influence.

Gascon suzerainty

Sancho established relations with the Duchy of Gascony, probably of a suzerain–vassal nature, him being the suzerain. In consequence of his relationship with the monastery of Cluny, he improved the road from Gascony to León. This road would begin to bring increased traffic down to Iberia as pilgrims flocked to Santiago de Compostela. Because of this, Sancho ranks as one of the first great patrons of the Saint James Way.

Sancho VI of Gascony was a relative of Sancho of Navarre and he spent a portion of his life at the royal court in Pamplona. He also partook alongside Sancho the Great in the Reconquista. In 1010, the two Sanchos appeared together with Robert II of France and William V of Aquitaine, neither of whom was the Gascon duke's suzerain, at Saint-Jean d'Angély. After Sancho VI's death in 1032, Sancho the Great extended his authority definitively into Gascony, where he began to mention his authority as extending as far as the Garonne in the documents issued by his chancery.

Acquisition of León

After the succession of Bermudo III to León, Sancho negotiated the marriage of his son Ferdinand of Castile to Sancha, the former fiance of García Sánchez and Bermudo's sister, and along with it a dowery that included disputed Leonese lands. Sancho was soon engaged in a full-scale war with León, and combined Castilian and Navarrese armies quickly overran much of Bermudo's kingdom, occupying Astorga. By March 1033, he was king from Zamora to the borders of Barcelona.

In 1034, even the city of León, the imperiale culmen (imperial capital, as Sancho saw it), fell, and there Sancho had himself crowned again. This was the height of Sancho's rule which now extended from the borders of Galicia in the west to the county of Barcelona in the east. In 1035, he refounded the diocese of Palencia, which had been laid waste by the Moors. He gave the see and its several abbacies to Bernard, of French or Navarrese origin, to whom he also gave the secular lordship (as a feudum), which included many castles in the region. However, he was assassinated at Aguilar de Bureba [dubious – discuss] on 18 October 1035 and was buried in the monastery of San Salvador of Oña, an enclave in Burgos, under the inscription Sancius, gratia Dei, Hispaniarum rex.

Legacy

Taking residence in Nájera instead of the traditional capital of Pamplona, as his realm grew larger, he considered himself a European monarch, establishing relations on the other side of the Pyrenees.

He introduced French feudal theories and ecclesiastic and intellectual currents into Iberia. Through his close ties with the count of Barcelona and the duke of Gascony and his friendship with the monastic reformer Abbot Oliva, Sancho established relations with several of the leading figures north of the Pyrenees, most notably Robert II of France, William V of Aquitaine, William II and Alduin II of Angoulême, and Odo II of Blois and Champagne. It was through this circle that the Cluniac reforms first probably influenced his thinking. In 1024 a Navarrese monk, Paterno from Cluny, returned to Navarre and was made abbot of San Juan de la Peña, where he instituted the Cluniac custom and founded thus the first Cluniac house in Iberia west of Catalonia, under the patronage of Sancho. The Mozarabic rite continued to be practiced at San Juan, and the view that Sancho spread the Cluniac usage to other houses in his kingdom has been discredited by Justo Pérez de Urbel. Sancho sowed the seeds of the Cluniac reform and of the adoption of the Roman rite, but he did not widely enact them.

Sancho also began the Navarrese series of currency by minting what the Encyclopædia Britannica calls "deniers of Carolingian influence." The division of his realm upon his death, the concepts of vassalage and suzerainty, and the use of the phrase "by the grace of God" (Dei gratia) after his title were imported from France, with which he tried to maintain relations. For this he has been called the "first Europeaniser of Iberia."

His most obvious legacy, however, was the temporary union of all Christian Iberia. At least nominally, he ruled over León, the ancient capital of the kingdom won from the Moors in the eighth century, and Barcelona, the greatest of the Catalan cities. Though he divided the realm at his death, thus creating the enduring legacy of Castilian and Aragonese kingdoms, he left all his lands in the hands of one dynasty, the Jiménez, which kept the kingdoms allied by blood until the twelfth century. He made the Navarrese pocket kingdom strong, politically stable, and independent, preserving it for the remainder of the Middle Ages. It is for this that his seal has been appropriated by Basque nationalism. Though, by dividing the realm, he isolated the kingdom and inhibited its ability to gain land at the expense of the Moslems. Summed up, his reign defined the political geography of Iberia until its union under the Catholic Monarchs.

Titulature

Throughout his long reign, Sancho used a myriad of titles. After his coronation in León, he styled himself rex Dei gratia Hispaniarum, or "by the grace of God, king of the Spains", and may have minted coins with the legend "NAIARA/IMPERATOR". The use of the first title implied his kingship over all the independently founded Iberian kingdoms and the use of the form Dei gratia, adopted from French practice, stressed that his right to rule was of divine origin and sustenance. The latter, imperial title was only rarely employed, for it is not documented, being found only on coins only probably datable to his reign. It is not unlikely, however, that he desired to usurp the imperial title which the kings of León had thitherto carried.

Despite this, the contemporary ecclesiastic Abbot Oliva only ever acknowledged Sancho as rex Ibericus or rex Navarrae Hispaniarum, while he called both Alfonso V and Vermudo III emperor. The first title considers Sancho as king of all Iberia, as does the second, though it stresses his kingship over Navarre alone as if it had been extended to authority over the whole Christian portion of the peninsula.

Succession

Before his death in 1035, Sancho divided his possessions among his sons. Of the three surviving sons by Mayor, the eldest, García, had already appeared as regulus in Navarre, inheriting the kingdom including the Basque country as well as exercising suzerainty over the kingdom's lands given his brothers. Gonzalo had been placed in control of the counties of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza, which he would hold as regulus. Ferdinand had been given Castile on the death of count García Sánchez in 1127, holding it first under his father and later of Vermudo III of León, before killing that king to take León and the royal title. Ramiro, the eldest but illegitimate son of Sancho by mistress Sancha of Aybar, was given property in the former county of Aragón with the provision that he should ask for no more lands of García, under whom he first acted as baiulus but from whom he later achieved de facto independence. Documents report two further sons, a second Ramiro and Bernard, but scholarship is divided on whether they were legitimate sons who died in youth, or if their appearance instead results from either scribal error or forgery. Sancho left two daughters, Mayor and Jimena, the former perhaps the wife of Pons, Count of Toulouse, the latter wife of Vermudo III.
