INTRODUCTION

 

 

The Navarre region remained largely autonomous following the Muslim invasion of Spain, presumably explained by its geographical remoteness.  The Akhbar al-Majmua [Collection of Anecdotes, translated into Spanish in the mid-19th century by Lafuente as "Ajbar Machmua", dated to [940] by Chalmeta[1], although Lafuente dates it to the 11th century] records that "Okba ben Al-Hachaeh" [Uqba bin al-Hajaj al-Saluli, governor of Muslim Spain from [728]], conquered territory as far as Narbonne and subjugated Galicia, Álava and Pamplona[2].  It is not clear how extensively Pamplona was conquered at that time.  Muslim influence in the area increased after the capture of Pamplona by Emir Abd al-Rahman I in 781[3]The Royal Frankish Annals record that “in Spain, the people of Navarre and Pamplona, who had defected to the Saracens during the last years, were again placed under our authority” in 806[4].  As noted in Chapter 1.A below, a “lord” of Pamplona named Velasco Velásquez is recorded in an Arab source in 816.  Presumably he was a Carolingian appointee, although his name indicates Iberian rather than Frankish origin.  Records suggest that some form of organised Navarrese state first emerged in the early 9th century, under the leadership of Íñigo "Arista" whose death is dated to [851/52] in an Arab source.  It is not known whether Íñigo was a descendant of immigrants from the Visigothic court or was a local chief who imposed his leadership over time.  Various references to Gascony in the early sources suggest that a Visigothic origin is unlikely.  The Royal Frankish Annals record that “counts Aeblus and Asinarius had been sent to Pamplona with Basque forces” in 824[5], which suggests a Carolingian Frankish attempt to reassert suzerainty in Pamplona and that Iñigo had not been a Carolingian nominee.  Whatever the truth of Íñigo´s origin, it is probable that his territorial authority was limited and that 9th century Navarre was not a fully-fledged state in the modern sense of the term.  It is not even clear that the title "king" was adopted by the early leaders.  It may have been attributed to them by later chroniclers to add credibility to the dynasty's authority.  The number of marriages with Muslim families in the early Navarre royal family suggest that Muslim influence persisted even after Pamplona had long been under Christian rule, at least until the early 10th century.  The Iñiga dynasty led Navarre until 905 (see Chapter 1.B).  However, their position was challenged by García Jiménez who was accepted as ruler in Pamplona from [858] to [885], García's descendants emerging definitively to lead Navarre from 905 until they were replaced by the kings of Aragon in 1076 (see Chapter 1.C). 

 

Few records have survived which deal with the early history of Navarre.  The reconstruction of the early generations of the ruling families is based almost exclusively on the Codex de Roda[6], a series of texts probably written shortly before 992 almost certainly in Navarre itself.  The Codex does not resolve the question of a possible common origin of the two rival dynasties, the Iñiga and the Jimena, which are dealt with in two different chapters in the Codex.  The description of the Iñiga dynasty in the Codex starts with Íñigo "Arista" and his children.  The chapter which follows deals with the Jimena dynasty, stating that García Jiménez and Íñigo Jiménez were brothers without mentioning their father.  There appear to be four possible explanations concerning the possible relationship between the two families, based on this text:

1.        "Íñigo Jiménez" named in the second part was the same person as "Íñigo "Arista"" named in the first.  This is certainly the most obvious explanation.  No further details are given in the second part concerning Íñigo Jiménez or his descendants, and the reader of the Codex is left wondering why he would have been mentioned at all if a reference back to the first part was not intended.  However, there is an obvious chronological difficulty with this interpretation.  García Jiménez succeeded as ruler of Pamplona in [858].  A glance at the chronology of the early generations of the Jimena dynasty in Chapter 1.C shows that García was probably of a similar age to Íñigo "Arista"'s grandchildren, and so evidently could not have been Íñigo "Arista"'s brother.  In addition, as shown below in Chapter 1.A, Arab sources which name Íñigo "Arista" specify that his father was Íñigo not Jimeno, although this is contradicted by a (dubious) charter of the monastery of Leire which does call him "Enneco…rex, filius Simeonis". 

2.        "Jimeno", father of the brothers García and Íñigo Jiménez (whose name is indicated only by the patronymic accorded to his sons), was the son of Íñigo "Arista".  This satisfies the chronological difficulty mentioned above in relation to the first explanation.  However, why would the authors of the Codex omit any reference to such an obvious relationship?  As the text was written just over eighty years after the extinction of the Iñiga dynasty, the authors of the Codex would have been well aware of the family connection if such a close one had existed.  This, of course, assumes that the text of the Codex which has survived represents the complete version. 

3.        The García and Íñigo Jiménez who are named in the second part of the Codex were in fact the common ancestors of both Íñigo "Arista" and the García Jiménez who ruled Pamplona from [858].  This more complex "reinterpretation" of the text of the Codex was first proposed in the 17th century[7] and has since found favour with many historians.  It assumes that the Codex simply omits all details of the intervening generations between the two individuals allegedly named García Jiménez, and that it conflates the two into one by mistake in the first paragraph of the second chapter.  The possibility of such a mistake cannot of course be excluded.  However, this would be the only example in the early genealogies recounted in the Codex where several generations of a family have been omitted entirely. 

4.        The two dynasties were related only indirectly by marriage or were not related at all.  This requires us to believe that the mention of Íñigo Jiménez in the second part of the Codex is completely unrelated to Íñigo "Arista" in the first part.  The genealogical section of the Codex is grouped into six parts, each dealing with a distinct family.  Apart from the Navarrese dynasties, these are the counts of Aragon, Pallars, Gascony and Toulouse, none of whom is recorded as related to the others in the male line.  One possibility, therefore, is that the author of the Codex purposely separated his description of the two Navarrese dynasties, in the same way as his narrative concerning the other comital families, because they too were unrelated.  Our knowledge of the early history of Navarre is limited, but it is not impossible that these so-called "kings" were little more than local leaders who commanded allegiance in very restricted geographic areas and that several such unrelated chiefs emerged in different parts of the territory at the same time, the extent of their authority over the others fluctuating over time. 

Further information concerning the early kings of Navarre is provided by the late 11th century Libro de Regla of Leire monastery[8] and by the Arab historian Ibn Hayyàn[9].  The Libro de Regla is an extremely confused document.  The dates which it includes cannot be accurate.  In any case, it is not possible to reconcile the names of the early kings which it records with other primary sources.  Worst of all, it clearly omits generations in its narrative of the 11th century Navarrese kings.  Ibn Hayyân provides a completely different perspective, suggesting that the father of Íñigo "Arista" was also named Íñigo.  There is no way of knowing whether this is simply a mistake in the source or whether Ibn Hayyân provides the correct answer to the conundrum. 

 

We are left therefore with two contradictory versions of the parentage of Íñigo "Arista".  These are both shown in Part A of Chapter 1 of this document.  Discussion of such problems is interesting.  However, at this distance in time, our knowledge of the families in question is so limited that it does not appear worthwhile to speculate with any degree of certainty about which hypothesis should be preferred over the other.  It should not be forgotten that the reconstruction of the early generations may even be entirely fictitious, created by later authors to demonstrate dynastic continuity and enhance the reputation of their rulers. 

 

During the 10th and 11th centuries, the kingdom of Navarre acquired extensive territorial power, including over the counties of Álava, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya to the west, and the counties of Aragon, Sobrarbe and Ribagorza to the east, as well as in the Navarrese heartland around Pamplona and Calahorra.  The boundary agreed with the newly emerged county of Castile to the south is recorded in a charter dated 1016[10].  Sancho III King of Navarre incorporated the county of Castile into his kingdom, after his brother-in-law García Sánchez Conde de Castilla was murdered in 1029, and captured most of the kingdom of León by 1034.  King Sancho divided his territories between his sons, his eldest son García succeeding as king of Navarre, his second son Gonzalo in Sobrarbe and Ribagorza, his third son Fernando in Castile, and his illegitimate son Ramiro in Aragon.  Rivalry between the brothers came to a head when García was killed in battle against Fernando at Atapuerca in 1054, leaving his minor son Sancho IV to inherit the Navarrese crown.  Sancho was murdered by one of his brothers in 1076.  Immediately afterwards, Alfonso VI King of Castile assumed the crown of Navarre: a charter dated 1076 records that Alfonso VI King of Castile ("Adefonsus filius Fredinandi regis") succeeded to the kingdom after "impiisima fraude interfecto rege Sancio, Garsie...regis filius"[11].  Shortly afterwards, his cousin Sancho I King of Aragon succeeded in taking control of Navarre.  At this time the western counties of Álava, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya switched their allegiance to Alfonso VI King of Castile, who also took possession of Nájera and Calahorra.  The Aragonese/Navarrese union collapsed on the death in 1134 of Alfonso I King of Aragon and Navarre, Navarre regaining its independence under King García V, grandson of the illegitimate brother of King Sancho IV, although he was obliged to swear allegiance to Alfonso VII King of Castile as the price for his throne. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    KINGS of PAMPLONA 

 

 

 

A.      EARLY SEÑORES de PAMPLONA

 

 

1.         VELASCO Velásquez, son of VELASCO --- & his wife --- (-after 816)Señor [“King?”] de Pamplona.  The date Velasco took control of Pamplona is not known.  No doubt it was after 806 when the Royal Frankish Annals record that “in Spain, the people of Navarre and Pamplona, who had defected to the Saracens during the last years, were again placed under our authority” in 806[12].  It is possible that he was a vassal of the Carolingian Frankish kings.  Ibn Hayyan records a campaign in 816 led by “[el] hayib Abd al-Karim ibn Abd al-Wahid ibn Mugit” against “Balask al-Yalasqi señor de Pamplona”, during the course of which “Garsiya ibn Lubb, hijo de la hermana de Barmud, el tío materno de Idfuns, Sanyo, el mejor caballero de Pamplona, Saltan, el mejor caballero de los Mayus” were killed[13]Settipani speculates that “Velasco chef de Pampelune en 816” was the brother of García Galíndez “el Malo” Conde de Aragón[14]However, the chronology is not ideal.  In addition, “Balask al-Yalasqi” presumably indicates “Velasco Velásquez” rather then “Velasco Galíndez”.  If Velasco Señor de Pamplona belonged to the same family as García Galíndez, it is therefore more probable that he was García´s paternal uncle. 

 

 

 

B.      ORIGINS of KINGS of PAMPLONA

 

 

As a preliminary point, a charter dated Aug 828 should be highlighted.  This apparently refers to García Jiménez King of Pamplona at that date.  At first sight, the dating appears consistent with other individuals who are named in the document, as discussed further below.  However, no other reference has been found to King García Jiménez at that time.  It is suggested that the document should be redated to the 860s and that it in fact refers to García Jiménez (who succeeded as king in [858]) and to Galindo Aznárez Conde de Aragón (whose death is dated to [after 867] - see the document ARAGON KINGS, Chapter 1).  This suggestion is supported by the dating clause of the document which refers only to local Navarrese/Aragonese noblemen, whereas other early charters linked to Aragon (dated to the late 820s to the 860s) refer to the regnal years of the Carolingian kings/emperors[15]

 

1.         [GARCÍA Jiménez (-[after Aug 828]).  King of Pamplona.  “Garsias Semenonis rex Pampilonensium...cum comite Galindone de Aragon” donated “monasteriolum Sancti Martini de Ciella cum villa sua de Ciella” to San Juan de la Peña by charter dated Aug 828, the dating clause of which records “Oriol in Boltana, senior Mancius de Eril in Petra fita...[16].  This charter represents the only reference which has been found to a king named García Jiménez in the early 9th century.  The dating of the document is consistent with “comite Galindone de Aragon” being identified as Conde Galindo García who is named in two other sources around the same period.  It is also consistent with “senior Mancius de Eril in Petra fita” being the father of Blasco Mancio who is named in a charter of Siresa dated to [850][17].  However, as noted in the introduction to this section above, other factors suggest that the charter should be redated to the 860s which, if correct, would indicate that it refers to Garcia Jiménez who succeeded as king of Pamplona in [858] (see below).  In this connection, a charter dated 858 for San Martín de Cillas should be noted as its dating clause is similar, recording "sub regimine Garssia Scemenonis rege in Pampilona et comite Galindo in Aragone"[18].] 

 

 

The sources provide two contradictory versions of the parentage of King Íñigo "Arista": 

 

 

VERSION A: 

 

1.         [ÍÑIGO [I] [Sancho] .  The Arab historian Ibn Hayyân indicates that King Íñigo´s father was also named Íñigo: he records the death in the Muslim year 237 (5 Jul 851/22 Jun 852 A.D.) of "Wannaqo ibn Wannaqo frère uterin et allié de Musa ibn Musa" and the accession of "son fils Garsiya…comme émir de Pampelune"[19].  However, the source is rather confused as in other passages it names "Musa et son allié Garsiya ibn Wannaqo, emir des Gascons (d'autres disent que son allié était Furtun ibn Wannaqo, son frère uterin)" and records that "Musa ibn Musa al-Qasawi…fut aidé par son frère utérin, le chef de Pampelune, ibn Wannaqo"[20].  Another possible parentage of Iñigo is suggested by Ibn Hazm who records that "Musa ibn Musa" arranged the marriages of "las hijas de su hermano Lubb ibn Musa" with "los hijos de Wanaqo ibn Sanyo, rey de los Vascos"[21].  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records the death "era DCCV" of "rex Enneco Garseanes", adding that his wife was "Eximena"[22].  This source, however, is even more confused than Ibn Hayyân and is contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records.  It is therefore not certain to whom "Enneco Garseanes" refers.  m (after 788) as her second husband, ---, widow of MUSA ibn Fortún, head of the Banu Qasi family, daughter of ---.  Her two marriages are indicated by Al-Udri who names "Yannaqo ibn Wanniqo" as "hermano de madre de Musa ibn Musa"[23].  Her two marriages are also indicated by the Arab historian Ibn Hayyân who names "Musa et son allié Garsiya ibn Wannaqo, emir des Gascons (d'autres dissent que son allié était Furtun ibn Wannaqo, son frère uterin)" and records in a later passage that "Musa ibn Musa al-Qasawi…fut aidé par son frère utérin, le chef de Pampelune, ibn Wannaqo"[24].  Settipani highlights[25] the lively academic debate over whether Musa was the first or second husband of the wife of Íñigo.  [The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records the death "era DCCV" of "rex Enneco Garseanes", adding that his wife was "Eximena"[26].  This source is confused and contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records.  It is not certain to whom "Enneco Garseanes" refers.  It has been decided not to include "Jimena" as the wife of "Íñigo", considering the number of uncertainties in the text.]  Íñigo & his wife had [two] children:

a)         [ÍÑIGO [II] Iñíguez ([788/90]-[851/52]).  The sources are contradictory regarding the parentage of Íñigo "Arista".  His parentage is indicated by Al-Udri who names "Yannaqo ibn Wanniqo" as "hermano de madre de Musa ibn Musa"[27].  His parentage is also confirmed by the Arab historian Ibn Hayyân who records the death in the Muslim year 237 (5 Jul 851/22 Jun 852 A.D.) of "Wannaqo ibn Wannaqo frère uterin et allié de Musa ibn Musa" and the accession of "son fils Garsiya…comme émir de Pampelune"[28].  However, other sources suggest that the king who reigned in Navarre at that time was the son of "Jimeno" (see below).  He established himself in [820/25] as ÍÑIGO Iñíguez "Arista" [King] of Pamplona, although it should be noted that none of the early texts attribute the title “king” to him.]     

-        see Part B.  KINGS of PAMPLONA, IÑIGA DYNASTY

b)         [FORTÚN Iñíguez de Pamplona (-killed in battle Pamplona Jul 843).  The Arab historian Ibn Hayyân names "Musa et son allié Garsiya ibn Wannaqo, emir des Gascons (d'autres disent que son allié était Furtun ibn Wannaqo, son frère uterin)" and records in a later passage that "Musa ibn Musa al-Qasawi…fut aidé par son frère utérin, le chef de Pampelune, ibn Wannaqo"[29].]  [m ---, daughter of LUBB ibn Musa.  Ibn Hazm records that "Musa ibn Musa" arranged the marriages of "las hijas de su hermano Lubb ibn Musa" with "los hijos de Wanaqo ibn Sanyo, rey de los Vascos"[30].  No other reference to these possible marriages has been found.  If they are correct, the chronology suggests that the bridegrooms must have been the sons of Íñigo [I], although it is not known whether they were Ínigo Iñíguez and Fortún Iñíguez or other otherwise unrecorded sons.] 

 

 

VERSION B: 

 

1.         [JIMENO --- (-[after 851]).  His name is indicated only by the patronymic accorded to his sons in the Codex de Roda.  No direct information has been found relating to Jimeno.  However, the Chronicon Fontanellensis records that ambassadors from "Induonis et Mitionis Ducum Naverrorum" attended Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks "in Vermeria Palatio" with gifts and agreed peace, dated to 851[31].  A footnote in the edition consulted notes that Marca, in his Historiæ Bearniæ, corrects the apparent reference to two individuals in this edition to "Inniconis Eminonis Duc. Navarr"[32].  Jaurgain records that Oïhenart suggests that the names should in fact be "Iniconis et Ximinonis", adding that they should be identified with "Eneco-Garcia et Semen-Garcia, neveux du souverain de Pamplone"[33].  This hypothesis is not acceptable from a chronological point of view.  It is more likely that, if the passage intends to refer to two individuals, they were Íñigo Iñíguez and Jimeno, father of García Jiménez.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "filius eius Eximinus Enecones" succeeded "rex Enneco Garseanes", adding that his wife was "Munia" and that he died "era DCCLXXV"[34].  This source is confused and contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records.  It is not certain that it can be assumed that this passage refers to the father of Íñigo Jiménez.  m ---.  The name of Jimeno's wife is not known.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "filius eius Eximinus Enecones" succeeded "rex Enneco Garseanes", adding that his wife was "Munia" and that he died "era DCCLXXV"[35].  This source is confused and contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records.  It is not certain that it can be assumed that this passage refers to the father of Íñigo Jiménez.  It has been decided not to include "Munia" as the wife of "Jimeno", considering the number of uncertainties in the text.  Jimeno & his wife had two children: 

a)         [GARCÍA Jiménez (-after 885).  The Codex de Roda records that "Garsea Scemenonis et Enneco Scemenonis" were brothers[36].  He succeeded in [858] as GARCÍA II [King] of Pamplona, although none of the early texts attribute this title to him.] 

-        see Part C.  KINGS of PAMPLONA, JIMENA DYNASTY

b)         [ÍÑIGO Jiménez .  The Codex de Roda records that "Garsea Scemenonis et Enneco Scemenonis" were brothers[37].  "Enneco…rex, filius Simeonis" donated property to Leire by charter dated 18 Apr 842[38].  As noted below, this charter could either refer to King Íñigo Iñíguez (in which case "filius Simeonis" in the document was an error for "filius Enneconis") or to Íñigo, brother of García Jiménez.]  same person as…?  ÍÑIGO "Arista" [King] of Pamplona ([788/90]-[851/52]).  As discussed below, the sources which refer to the parentage of King Íñigo "Arista" are contradictory. 

-        see Part B.  KINGS of PAMPLONA, IÑIGA DYNASTY

 

 

ANOTHER UNCONNECTED EARLY LEADER: 

 

1.         GARCÍA, son of --- (-killed in battle Monte Laturce 859).  Ibn Hazm names "Awriya" as the daughter of "Musa ibn Musa", adding that she married "Garsiya rey de los Vascos" and names their son "Musa ibn Garsiya"[39].  This García has not otherwise been identified in the families of the early kings of Pamplona/Navarre.  One possibility is that the sources have misnamed him and that he is the same person as Galindo Iñíguez, son of Íñigo "Arista" [King] of Pamplona (see below, Part B.), who converted to Islam, probably had a Muslim wife, and is recorded as having a son named Musa.  m [AWRIYA], daughter of MUSA ibn Musa.  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Chronicon Sebastiani which records that "Muza…genere suo…Garseane" was killed at the battle of Monte Laturce against Ordoño I King of Asturias [in 859][40]Ibn Hazm names "Awriya" as the daughter of "Musa ibn Musa", adding that she married "Garsiya rey de los Vascos" and names their son "Musa ibn Garsiya"[41].  García & his wife had one child: 

a)         MUSA ibn Garsiya .  Ibn Hazm names "Awriya" as the daughter of "Musa ibn Musa", adding that she married "Garsiya rey de los Vascos" and names their son "Musa ibn Garsiya"[42]

 

 

 

C.      KINGS of PAMPLONA 822-[905] (IÑIGA DYNASTY)

 

 

ÍÑIGO [II] [Iñíguez/Jiménez], son of [IÑIGO --- & his wife ---] or son of [JIMENO & his wife ---] ([788/90]-[851/52]).  The sources are contradictory regarding the parentage of Íñigo "Arista".  His parentage is indicated by Al-Udri who names "Yannaqo ibn Wanniqo" as "hermano de madre de Musa ibn Musa"[43].  The Arab historian Ibn Hayyân records the death in the Muslim year 237 (5 Jul 851/22 Jun 852 A.D.) of "Wannaqo ibn Wannaqo frère uterin et allié de Musa ibn Musa" and the accession of "son fils Garsiya…comme émir de Pampelune"[44].  However, other sources suggest that the king who reigned in Navarre at that time was the son of "Jimeno".  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco cognomento Aresta" without naming his father or giving his patronymic[45].  Another passage in the same source records that "Garsea Scemenonis et Enneco Scemenonis" were brothers[46].  It is not certain that "Enneco cognomento Aresta" and "Enneco Scemenonis" in these two passages refer to the same person, but this is possible.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "filius eius…Enneco Xemenones" ruled for 22 years after "Eximinus Enecones", adding that his wife was "Oneca regina", that he died "era DCCCL", and that during his reign holy remains were transferred "ab Osca in monasterio Leioren"[47].  This source is confused, and contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records, but presumably this passage is intended to refer to Íñigo "Arista".  "Enneco…rex, filius Simeonis" donated property to Leire by charter dated 18 Apr 842[48].  There is no reference in this document to the donor as "Arista" but, assuming that the document is genuine, it appears to be the only entirely contemporaneous document which names the king who ruled in Navarre during the first half of the 9th century so it should presumably be accorded the corresponding degree of respect.  Whatever the correctness of his parentage, it appears that ÍÑIGO "Arista" [King] of Pamplona, established himself in [820/25], although no primary source has yet been found which confirms that this is correct.  The Carolingian Franks, who first invaded the territory around Pamplona in 778, were finally driven out in 824.  Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada, writing in the first half of the 13th century, records that "Enecho…Arista" came "ex Bigorriæ comitatu" and settled "ad plana Navarræ" and was chosen "regni…principatum" by the residents[49].  This appears inconsistent with the marriage of Íñigo´s mother to Musa Ibn Fortún, which is suggested by Ibn Hayyân (see above).  If the Arab texts are to be believed, Íñigo allied himself with the Banu Qasi family, whose leader was his uterine half-brother according to the sources quoted above, presumably to consolidate his position.  He was injured in the battle for Pamplona in which his brother Fortún was killed in 843[50].  The Chronicon Fontanellensis records that ambassadors from "Induonis et Mitionis Ducum Naverrorum" attended Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks "in Vermeria Palatio" with gifts and agreed peace, dated to 851[51].  A footnote in the edition consulted notes that Marca, in his Historiæ Bearniæ, corrects the apparent reference to two individuals in this edition to "Inniconis Eminonis Duc. Navarr"[52].  Jaurgain records that Oïhenart suggests that the names should in fact be "Iniconis et Ximinonis", adding that they should be identified with "Eneco-Garcia et Semen-Garcia, neveux du souverain de Pamplone"[53].  This hypothesis is not acceptable from a chronological point of view.  If the passage intends to refer to two individuals, it is more likely that they were Íñigo Iñíguez and Jimeno, father of García Jiménez (see above).  However, Marca´s interpretation is more likely to be correct as no other record has been found which indicates that two kings reigned in Pamplona at the same time.  Íñigo suffered from paralysis before he died[54]

m [ONECA], daughter of ---.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "filius eius…Enneco Xemenones" ruled for 22 years after "Eximinus Enecones", adding that his wife was "Oneca regina"[55].  This source is confused, and contradicted by numerous other primary sources in many of the details which it records.  As noted above, it is not certain whether "Enneco Xemenones" is intended to refer to Íñigo "Arista".  The wife of Íñigo "Arista" is not named in the Codex de Roda.  Another possibility is that the wife of Íñigo was ---, daughter of Lubb ibn Musa.  Ibn Hazm records that "Musa ibn Musa" arranged the marriages of "las hijas de su hermano Lubb ibn Musa" with "los hijos de Wanaqo ibn Sanyo, rey de los Vascos"[56]No other reference to these possible marriages has been found.  If they are correct, the chronology suggests that the bridegrooms must have been the sons of Íñigo [I], although it is not known whether they were Ínigo Iñíguez and Fortún Iñíguez or other otherwise unrecorded sons. 

Íñigo "Arista" & his wife had four children: 

1.         GARCÍA Iñíguez ([810]-killed by Arabs [Lumberri] 882[57], bur Leire Monastery).  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis et domna Assona…et domna ---" as the children of "Enneco cognomento Aresta"[58].  He succeeded his father in [852] as GARCÍA I [King] of Pamplona.  He was defeated by the Muslims in [858].  "Rexo Garsia, filius Eneconis" donated property to the monastery of Leire, with the advice of "filii mei Fortunii", by charter dated 21 Oct 880[59].  This is the only source so far identified which accords the royal title to García and it is not clear whether it was contemporary.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "filius eius Garsea Ennecones" ruled for 12 years after the death of "Enneco Xemenones" and died "era DCCCXXXV…in Lumberri", his body being returned "ad monasterium Legeren" (for burial)[60]m [firstly] URRACA, daughter of ---.  An undated charter refers to a confirmation by “rex domnus Garcia et regina domna Urraca maiore[61].  Her origin is not known.  Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada, writing in the first half of the 13th century, records that "Enecho…Arista…filium Garsiam" married "Urracam, de Regio semine"[62].  Jaurgain suggests that "de Regio semine" should be interpreted as meaning "de la même race que lui" (based on his assumption that the kings of Navarre were descended from the dukes of Gascony, about which there appears to be no proof) and that Urraca was "fille de Sanche-Sancion duc de Vasconie", although he cites no primary source which confirms this parentage[63]Her origin is discussed by Salazar y Acha who suggests that she was a member of the Banu Qasi family, related to the second wife of Fruela II King of Asturias, which would account for the introduction of the name Fortún into the family of the kings of Navarre[64].  [m secondly LEODEGUNDIS de Asturias, daughter of [ORDOÑO I King of Asturias & his wife Munia ---].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Versi domna Leodegundia regina" names "Leodegundiam Ordonii filiam" and indicates her position as Queen of Pamplona after her marriage[65].  She is not named in the genealogies in the earlier part of the Codex de Roda.  She has been suggested as a possible second wife of King García I but, as there is no indication of dates in the "Versi", this is mere speculation.  Barrau-Dihigo casts doubt on this identification[66].  It is of course possible that she was not a historical figure at all.  It may have been convenient for chroniclers of the rulers of Pamplona to invent a dynastic connection with the kings of Asturias in order to boost local credibility.]  García I & his [first] wife had [four] children:

a)         FORTÚN García ([830]-after 905).  The Codex de Roda names "Fortunio Garseanis et Sanzio Garseanis et domna Onneca" as the children of "Garsea Enneconis" and his unnamed wife[67].  He succeeded his father in 882 as FORTÚN [King] of Pamplona

-        see below

b)         SANCHO García .  The Codex de Roda names "Fortunio Garseanis et Sanzio Garseanis et domna Onneca" as the children of "Garsea Enneconis" and his unnamed wife[68]m ---.  The name of Sancho's wife is not known.  Sancho García & his wife had [two] children: 

i)          AZNAR Sánchez de Larraún .  The Codex de Roda names "Asnari Sanziones qui et Larron" as son of "Sanzio Garseanis"[69]m (880) [as her second husband,] his first cousin, ONECA [Íñiga] Fortún de Pamplona, [repudiated wife of ABD ALLAH later ABD ALLAH I Emir of Córdoba], daughter of FORTÚN García King of Pamplona & his wife Aurea --- ([850]-).  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco Furtunionis et Asenari Furtuniones et Belasco Furtuniones et Lope Furtuniones et domna Onneca" as the children of "Furtunio Garseanis" and his wife, recording that Oneca married "Asenari Sanzones de Larron" (a second manuscript specifying that she was "suam congermanam") and afterwards married "regi Abdella" by whom she was mother of "Mahomat Iben Abdella"[70].  However, this is unsustainable chronologically if it is correct that she was the mother of Muhammad and his birth date is correctly estimated to [867/68].  On the assumption that this date is correct, it is assumed that Abd Allah was Oneca's first husband.  She married her second husband after returning from Córdoba in [880] with her father who had just been released from captivity[71].  As noted in the document MOORISH SPAIN, Ibn Idhari names "Dorr" as the mother of Emir Abd Allah´s son Muhammad[72].  It would not be impossible for this to be an adopted Muslim name.  However, Dorr is also recorded as the mother of the emir´s daughter Fatima, born "despues del califato" which presumably indicates his succession as emir in 888, which would be after Oneca´s supposed return to Pamplona.  The conclusion must be that there is some piece of information in the Codex de Roda which is fundamentally incorrect, maybe either the name of Oneca´s Muslim husband or the name of her supposed son.  Aznar Sánchez & his wife had three children:

(a)       SANCHO Aznárez .  The Codex de Roda names "Santio Asnari et domna Tota regina et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Asnari Sanziones qui et Larron" and his wife[73]

(b)       TODA Aznárez ([885]-after 970).  The Codex de Roda names "Santio Asnari et domna Tota regina et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Asnari Sanziones qui et Larron" and his wife, one manuscript specifying that Tota was the wife of "Sanctii Obtimi regis"[74]m SANCHO I García King of Navarre, son of GARCÍA II Jiménez King of Pamplona & his second wife Dadildis de Pallars ([880]-11 Dec 925, bur San Estebán).

(c)       SANCHA Aznárez.  The Codex de Roda names "Santio Asnari et domna Tota regina et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Asnari Sanziones qui et Larron" and his wife, in a later passage naming "domna Sanzia, Asnari Santionis filia" as wife of "Scemeno Garseanis" and recording that she was killed "in Galias in villa…Laco" by her son García Jiménez[75]m JIMENO García de Pamplona, son of GARCÍA II Jimenez King of Pamplona & his second wife Dadildis de Pallars (-931). 

ii)         [VELASQUITA Sánchez.  Al-Udri records that "Mutarrif ibn Musa" married "Faliskita, hija de Sanyo, señor de Pamplona" and that he brought her to Huesca (which suggests that the marriage should be dated to [870/71] when Mutarif took control of Huesca) and had children by her[76].  The date of her marriage is consistent with Velasquita having been the daughter of Sancho, son of García I Iñíguez [King] of Pamplona, but this is not confirmed beyond all doubt by the passage in Al-Udri.  m ([871/72]) as his [---] wife, MUTARIF ibn Musa, son of MUSA Ibn Musa & his wife --- (-crucified Córdoba 6 Sep 873).] 

c)         ONECA García.  The Codex de Roda names "Fortunio Garseanis et Sanzio Garseanis et domna Onneca" as the children of "Garsea Enneconis" and his unnamed wife, stating that Oneca married "Asnari Galindones de Aragone"[77]m AZNAR [II] Galíndez Conde de Aragón, son of GALINDO [I] Aznar Conde de Aragón & his wife --- (-893). 

d)         [JIMENA (-after Jun 912, bur [Astorga, transferred to Oviedo Santa María]).  The Cronica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records the alliance between King Alfonso and "Galiam simul cum Pampiloniam, causa cognacionis", adding that he had married “uxorem ex illorum prosapia...Xemenam consubrinam Caroli regis[78].  The Cronica de Sampiro (interpolated, España Sagrada edition) records that “Adefonsus filius Domini Ordonii” married “Pampilona…uxorem ex illorum prosapia generis…Xemena” by whom he had “filios...Garseanum, Ordonium, Froilanum et Gundisalvum qui archidiaconus ecclesie Ovetensis fuit[79].  Sánchez-Albornoz suggests that she was the daughter of King García I[80], but she is not included among his children listed in the Codex de Roda.  Settipani, while agreeing that Jimena must belong to the royal family of Navarre, highlights difficulties with this theory while recognising that none of the other possible origins appears viable[81].  The most obvious difficulty is chronological, as Jimena´s marriage date suggests that, if she was related to the early kings of Navarre, she probably belonged to the subsequent generation.  The reference in the Cronica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, to the alliance between King Alfonso and "Galiam simul cum Pampiloniam, causa cognacionis"[82] suggests an alternative possibility that Jimena may have been related to the dukes of Gascony, who maintained close relations with the kings of Pamplona as indicated by charter evidence.  The Cronica de Sampiro (interpolated, España Sagrada edition) records that “uxore sua Xemena regina” was buried with her husband “Astoricæ” but that their bodies were transferred to “Oueto...sub aula sancte Marie Dey genitricis[83].  The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Queen Jimena" as the wife of "King Alfonso", when reporting their reburial in light of the threatened invasion of the kingdom of León and Asturias by Al-Mansur[84].  m ([869/70]) ALFONSO III “el Magno” King of Asturias, son of ORDOÑO I King of Asturias & his wife Munia --- (848-20 Dec 910).] 

García & his [wife/mistress] had one [illegitimate] child: 

e)         daughter .  Ibn Hayyan´s Muqtabis II records "la hija de Garsiya ibn W.n.q." as the wife of "Amrus ibn Amr ibn Amrus" in A.H. 259 [872/73][85].  It is possible that this daughter of [King] García was illegitimate.  m as his (x) wife, AMRUS ibn Umar Wali [governor/king] of Huesca, son of UMAR ibn Amrus (-[Huesca] Apr 875). 

2.         GALINDO Iñíguez (-after 851).  The Arab historian ibn Hayyân records that "le chef ibn Wannaqo et son fils Galind" were wounded during the battle for Pamplona in 843 and that "Lubb ibn Musa et Galind ibn Wannaqo" defected to the Arabs the following year[86].  He is not included among the children of King Íñigo "Arista" listed in the Codex de Roda.  Galindo was among the personages who greeted Eulogius at Córdoba in 851[87].  [m ([after 844]) ---.  The name of Galindo's wife is not known.  It is likely that she was a Muslim, whom Galindo married after his conversion.  One possibility is that the sources which refer to "García" (see Part A, above), who married the daughter of Musa ibn Musa of the Banu Qasi and is recorded with a son named Musa, are in fact referring to Galindo Iñíguez.  Galindo & his wife had one child]: 

a)         [MUSA ibn Galind ([845/46 or after]-executed Huesca 4 Aug 871).  No proof has been found that Musa ibn Galind was the son of Galindo Iñíguez.  However, as noted above, the latter is recorded as having defected to the Arabs, and presumably converted to Islam, and no record has been idenfified of another noble of this name having converted.  His birth date is estimated on the assumption that Galindo married a Muslim wife after his supposed conversion, as suggested above.  Wali (governor/king) of Huesca.  Al-Udri records that "Amrus ibn Umar ibn Amrus" rebelled against "Musa ibn Galindo, amil de Huesca" whom he killed in the same city which he captured, in A.H. 256 [869/70], specifying that Musa was killed A.H. "el sábado 13 del mes de ramadán" [4 Aug 871][88].  The Arab historian ibn Hayyân records that "Musa ibn Galind émir de Huesca" was executed in 870[89].] 

3.         ASSONA Iñíguez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis et domna Assona…et domna ---" as the children of "Enneco cognomento Aresta", stating that Assona married "domno Muza qui tenuit Borza et Terrero"[90]m MUSA ibn Musa, son of MUSA ibn Fortun & his [second] wife --- (-Tudela 26 Sep 862). 

4.         --- Iñíguez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis et domna Assona…et domna ---" as the children of "Enneco cognomento Aresta", stating that the unnamed daughter married "Garsea Malo"[91]m (after [838]) as his second wife, GARCÍA [I] Galíndez “el Malo” Conde de Aragon, son of GALINDO Velázquez & his wife Faquilo --- (-before 858). 

 

 

FORTÚN García, son of GARCÍA I Iñíguez King of Pamplona & his first wife Urraca --- ([830]-after 905).  The Codex de Roda names "Fortunio Garseanis et Sanzio Garseanis et domna Onneca" as the children of "Garsea Enneconis" and his unnamed wife[92].  He was captured by the Muslims in 860 and taken to Córdoba where he remained captive for twenty years[93].  "Rexo Garsia, filius Eneconis" donated property to the monastery of Leire, with the advice of "filii mei Fortunii", by charter dated 21 Oct 880[94].  He succeeded his father in 882 as FORTÚN [King] of Pamplona.  “Rex Fortunio Garcianes” reviewed the territories of the monastery of San Julián de Labasal, at the request of “comite Galindo Asnar”, by charter dated 893, whose dating clause records “...Garcia Sanz in Gallias, Raimundus in Paliares, pagani...Mohomet Ebenlupu in Balleterra et Mohomet Atauel in Osca...[95].  "Fertunius rex, proles regis Garsie" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 21 Mar 901[96].  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "Fortunius Garseanes" came "de Corduba", succeeded on the death of "Garsea Ennecones", but became "monachus in monasterio Legerensi", while "frater eius Sancius Garseanes cum uxore sua Dna Tota regina" ruled in his place[97].  This suggests that Fortún was deposed by Sancho.  Sabaté Curull dates Fortún´s deposition to 905[98]

m ([845]) ORIA, daughter of ---.  The Codex de Roda names "domna Oria filia de ---" as wife of "Furtunio Garseanis"[99]

Fortún & his wife had five children:

1.         ONECA [Íñiga] Fortúnez ([850]-).  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco Furtunionis et Asenari Furtuniones et Belasco Furtuniones et Lope Furtuniones et domna Onneca" as the children of "Furtunio Garseanis" and his wife, recording that Oneca married "Asenari Sanzones de Larron" (a second manuscript specifying that she was "suam congermanam") and afterwards married "regi Abdella" by whom she was mother of "Mahomat Iben Abdella"[100].  However, this is unsustainable chronologically if it is correct that she was the mother of Muhammad and his birth date is correctly estimated to [867/68].  On the assumption that this date is correct, it is assumed that Abd Allah was Oneca's first husband.  She married her second husband after returning from Córdoba in [880] with her father who had just been released from captivity[101].  As noted in the document MOORISH SPAIN, Ibn Idhari names "Dorr" as the mother of Emir Abd Allah´s son Muhammad[102].  It would not be impossible for this to be an adopted Muslim name.  However, Dorr is also recorded as the mother of the emir´s daughter Fatima, born "despues del califato" which presumably indicates his succession as emir in 888, which would be after Oneca´s supposed return to Pamplona.  The conclusion must be that there is some piece of information in the Codex de Roda which is fundamentally incorrect, maybe either the name of Oneca´s Muslim husband or the name of her supposed son.  [m firstly ([863, repudiated before 880]) as his --- wife, ABD ALLAH, son of MUHAMMAD Emir of Córdoba & his concubine Baher (-16 Oct 912).]  He succeeded his brother in 888 as ABD ALLAH I Emir of Córdoba.]  m [secondly] (880) her first cousin, AZNAR Sánchez de Larraún, son of SANCHO García de Pamplona & his wife --- . 

2.         ÍÑIGO Fortúnez (-after 905).  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco Furtunionis et Asenari Furtuniones et Belasco Furtuniones et Lope Furtuniones et domna Onneca" as the children of "Furtunio Garseanis" and his wife[103]m as her first husband, SANCHA García de Navarra, daughter of GARCÍA II Jiménez King of Pamplona & his first wife Oneca ---.  The Codex de Roda names "domna Sanzia, filia de Garsea Scemenonis" as the wife of "Enneco Furtuniones", specifying that she later married "domno Galindo comes de Aragone"[104].  She married secondly as his second wife, Galindo [II] Aznar Conde de Aragón.  Íñigo Fortún & his wife had three children: 

a)         FORTÚN Iñíguez.  The Codex de Roda names "Furtunio Enneconis et domna Auria…et domna Lopa" as the children of "Enneco Furtunionis" and his wife[105]m ---.  The name of Fortún's wife is not known.  Fortún Iñíguez & [his wife] had three children:   

i)          GARCÍA Fortúnez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Furtunionis et Enneco Furtunionis et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Furtunio Enneconis" and his unnamed wife[106]

ii)         ÍÑIGO Fortúnez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Furtunionis et Enneco Furtunionis et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Furtunio Enneconis" and his unnamed wife[107]

iii)        SANCHA Fortúnez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Furtunionis et Enneco Furtunionis et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Furtunio Enneconis" and his unnamed wife[108]

b)         AUREA Iñíguez.  The Codex de Roda names "Furtunio Enneconis et domna Auria…et domna Lopa" as the children of "Enneco Furtunionis" and his wife, specifying that Aurea married "Munio Garseanis"[109]m MUNIO García

c)         LUPA Iñíguez.  The Codex de Roda names "Furtunio Enneconis et domna Auria…et domna Lopa" as the children of "Enneco Furtunionis" and his wife, specifying that Lupa married "Sanzio Lupi de Araquil"[110]m SANCHO López de Araquíl

3.         AZNAR Fortúnez.  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco Furtunionis et Asenari Furtuniones et Belasco Furtuniones et Lope Furtuniones et domna Onneca" as the children of "Furtunio Garseanis" and his wife[111]m ---.  She is referred to, but not named, in the Codex de Roda.  Aznar Fortún & his wife had one child: 

a)         FORTÚN Aznárez “Orbita”.  The Codex de Roda names "Furtuni Asnari qui et cognomento Orbita" as the son of "Asnari Furtunionis" and his unnamed wife[112]m ---.  The name of Fortún's wife is not known.  Fortún Aznar & [his wife] had one child:

i)          GARCÍA Fortúnez de Cabanas (-after 15 Feb 979).  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Furtuniones de Capannas" as son of "Furtuni Asnari qui et cognomento Orbita"[113].  "Eximino Sancionis, Garsea Furtunionis, Belasco Lihoriz" confirmed the charter dated 15 Feb 979 under which "Sancius rex et Urraka regina…cum germanis nostris Ranimiro et Eximino" confirmed a prior donation to San Pedro de Siresa by "genitor noster Garsea rex"[114]

4.         VELASCO Fortúnez.  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco Furtunionis et Asenari Furtuniones et Belasco Furtuniones et Lope Furtuniones et domna Onneca" as the children of "Furtunio Garseanis" and his wife[115]m ---.  Settipani suggests that the wife of Velasco Fortún may have been the niece of García II Jiménez King of Pamplona, because of the names Jimena and Sancha given to two of the couple's daughters[116].  Velasco Fortún & [his wife] had three children:

a)         JIMENA Velásquez.  The Codex de Roda names "domna Scemena…et domna Tota…et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Belasco Furtunionis" and his unnamed wife, specifying that Jimena married "rege Enneco Garseanis"[117]m ÍÑIGO García King of Pamplona, son of GARCÍA II Jiménez King of Pamplona & his first wife Oneca --- (-after 933). 

b)         TODA Velásquez.  The Codex de Roda names "domna Scemena…et domna Tota…et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Belasco Furtunionis" and his unnamed wife, specifying that Toda married "Enneco Manzones de Lucentes"[118]m ÍÑIGO Manzónez de Lucentes .  

c)         SANCHA Velásquez.  The Codex de Roda names "domna Scemena…et domna Tota…et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Belasco Furtunionis" and his unnamed wife, specifying that Sancha married "Galindo Scemenonis de Pinitano"[119]m GALINDO Jiménez de Pinitano

5.         LOPE Fortúnez .  The Codex de Roda names "Enneco Furtunionis et Asenari Furtuniones et Belasco Furtuniones et Lope Furtuniones et domna Onneca" as the children of "Furtunio Garseanis" and his wife[120]

 

 

 

D.      KINGS of PAMPLONA [858]-931 (JIMENA DYNASTY)

 

 

GARCÍA Jiménez, son of [JIMENO] & his wife -- (-after 885).  The Codex de Roda records that "Garsea Scemenonis et Enneco Scemenonis" were brothers[121].  He succeeded in [858] as GARCÍA II [King] of Pamplona, although none of the early texts attribute this title to him.  Settipani speculates that King García either took power following the defeat of King Íñigo García by the Muslims or that he adopted the royal title in a separate part of the country at the same time as Íñigo García continued as king in his own part[122]

m firstly ONECA Rebele de Sangüesa, daughter of --- .  The Codex de Roda records that "Garsea Scemenonis" married "Onneca Rebelle de Sancossa"[123]

m secondly DADILDIS, sister of RAIMUNDO [I] Conde de Ribagorza, daughter of ---.  The Codex de Roda records that "Garsea Scemenonis" married secondly "domna Dadildi de Paliares soror Regimundi comitis"[124]

García II & his first wife had two children:

a)         GARCÍA Iñíguez (-killed Liédena before 905).  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis…et Scemeno Enneconis et Furtunio Enneconis et Sanzio Enneconis" as children of "Enneco Garseanis ", specifying that García was killed "in Ledena"[130]

b)         JIMENO Iñíguez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis…et Scemeno Enneconis et Furtunio Enneconis et Sanzio Enneconis" as children of "Enneco Garseanis", which states that the last three fled to Córdoba[131].  [m --- binti Lubb, daughter of LUBB ibn Muhammad.  The marriages of the three brothers Jimeno, Fortún and Sancho Iñíguez with the three daughters of Lubb ibn Muhammad are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln, but the primary source on which the information is based has not yet been identified[132].] 

c)         FORTÚN Iñíguez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis…et Scemeno Enneconis et Furtunio Enneconis et Sanzio Enneconis" as children of "Enneco Garseanis", which states that the last three fled to Córdoba[133].  [m --- binti Lubb, daughter of LUBB ibn Muhammad.  The marriages of the three brothers Jimeno, Fortún and Sancho Iñíguez with the three daughters of Lubb ibn Muhammad are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln, but the primary source on which the information is based has not yet been identified[134].] 

d)         SANCHO Iñíguez .  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Enneconis…et Scemeno Enneconis et Furtunio Enneconis et Sanzio Enneconis" as children of "Enneco Garseanis", which states that the last three fled to Córdoba[135].  [m --- binti Lubb, daughter of LUBB ibn Muhammad.  The marriages of the three brothers Jimeno, Fortún and Sancho Iñíguez with the three daughters of Lubb ibn Muhammad are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln, but the primary source on which the information is based has not yet been identified[136].]

García II & his second wife had two children:

a)         GARCÍA Jiménez (-murdered).  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea Scemonis et Sanzio Scemonis…et alia filia domna Dadildis", stating that García Jiménez killed his mother "in Galias in villa…Laco" and was killed by "Ihoannes Belescones et Cardelle Belascones" in "Salerazo"[150]

d)         [NUÑILO Jimenez (-after 25 Nov 913).  Risco records that her name is engraved on the agate ark, filled with precious relics, offered by her and her husband to the church of San Salvador de Oviedo in 911 (but he does not quote the inscription)[154]Florez quotes the inscription "Froyla et Nunilo cognomento Scemena"[155]Froyla Rex filius Adephonsi Regis et Xemenæ Reginæ” confirmed his father´s donations to Oviedo Cathedral by charter dated 25 Nov 913, confirmed by “Nunilo Regina, Gundisalvus archidiaconus Ovetensis sedis filius Adephonsi Regis et Xemene Reginæ, Ramirus frater Froilani Regis[156]m (before 911) as his first wife, FRUELA de Asturias, son of ALFONSO III "el Magno" King of Asturias & his wife Jimena García de Pamplona ([875]-Jul 925).  He succeeded his brother in 924 as FRUELA II "el Leproso" King of Asturias and León.] 

Jimeno García had one illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:

SANCHO García, son of GARCÍA II Jiménez King of Pamplona & his second wife Dadildis de Pallars ([880]-11 Dec 925, bur San Estebán).  The Codex de Roda names "Sanzio Garseanis et Scemeno Garseanis" as the children of "Garsea Scemenonis" and his second wife "domna Dadildi de Paliares soror Regimundi comitis", one manuscript stating that Sancho was "cognomento Avarca" (confusing Sancho with his grandson of the same name), succeeded as king in 905, reigned eighteen years and died in 924[158].  He succeeded in 905 as SANCHO I King of Navarre, after deposing his distant cousin King Fortún García.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "frater eius Sancius Garseanes cum uxore sua Dna Tota regina" ruled in place of "Fortunius Garseanes", who retired to Leire[159]"Sancius rex cum Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 21 Oct [912][160].  He ended Navarre's long standing alliance with the Banu Qasi family: in 915, he defeated Muhammed ben Lub at Tudela, obliged him to cede the castles of Falces and Caparroso and give two of his sons as hostages.  Allied with Ordoño II King of León, he conquered the Nájera district to the south west around Logroño between 918 and 923, and recaptured Viguera in 923[161].  "Sancius rex, filius Garsie regis, successor in regno germani mei Fortunii…cum domina Tuta regina uxore mea" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 18 Mar [918][162].  The Cronica de Sampiro records that "rex…Sancius Garsiani filius" allied himself with "regem domnum Ordonium", although this is not dated[163].  “Rege Santio Garseanis cum suos germanos Enecho Garseanis et Scemeno Garseanis” confirmed the territory of the monastery of Fontfride by charter dated 1 Oct 921, witnessed by “Galindo Galindonis...Sancio Scemenones cum suos germanos et cum suos filios, Blasco Lupi et Blasco Sanciones, Kardellus Ennecones cum filiis suis, Isinarius Gintalli cum filios suos...et scola de rege et de suos germanos, Santio Galindonis...[164].  Abd al-Rahman III Emir of Córdoba counter-attacked, recaptured Tortosa, Sangüesa and in 924 sacked Pamplona[165].  "Sancius rex…cum coniux mea Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 5 Jan 925, confirmed by "…Garsea eiusdem principis filius, Enneca eiusdem principis filia, Belaschita eiusdem principis filia, Eneco Garseanis, Semeno Garseanis…Eneco Sanzoniz, Garsea Eneconis"[166].  The Codex de Roda records the death "925 III Id Dec" of "Sanzio Garseanis" after reigning for twenty years[167].  Another part of the Codex de Roda, "Initium regnum Pampilonam", records that "rex…Sancio Garseanis" was buried "in Sancti Stefani portico"[168].  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, records that "Sancius Garseanes" died "era DCCCCLXVIII"[169]

m TODA Aznárez, daughter of AZNAR Sánchez de Larraún & his wife Oneca [Íñiga] Fortún ([885]-after 970).  The Codex de Roda names "Santio Asnari et domna Tota regina et domna Sanzia" as the children of "Asnari Sanziones qui et Larron" and his wife, one manuscript specifying that Tota was the wife of "Sanctii Obtimi regis" and that she was "pro neptem de Eneco Arista"[170].  "Sancius rex cum Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 21 Oct [912][171].  "Sancius rex, filius Garsie regis, successor in regno germani mei Fortunii…cum domina Tuta regina uxore mea" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 18 Mar [918][172].  "Sancio Garsianis rex…cum coniuge mea Tota Isinari" donated the monastery of San Pedro to the bishop of Oya by charter dated 28 Oct 924[173].  "Tota regina, seu filio meo Garsia Sancius" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 20 Sep 928[174].  She was regent for her son King García III from 933[175].  "Garsea Sancio" confirmed donations to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by "Sancio Garsee…commites domno Galindo, Asenari, Galindonis cum omnis fratres eius" by charter dated 9 Mar 933, signed by "Tota Isenari"[176].  Queen Toda became a powerful figure and was the principal organiser of the coalition of Christian princes which defeated Abd al-Rahman III at Simancas in 939[177].  She developed alliances through the marriages of her daughters, not only with three successive kings of León but also the powerful Condes de Álava and Castilla.  "Garsea rex…cum genitrice Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 22 Nov 947, witnessed by "Santius Ranimiri regis filius, Fortis Iustis…Flaginus comes, Garsea, Eximino, Fortunio Galendo…"[178].  The dating clause of a charter dated 15 Apr 958, under which "Muza…cum germana mea Tota" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda, names "regnante…rex Garcia Sanciz in Pampilona, et sub eius Fortun Galindonis in Nagera, et regina Tota in Deio, in Lizarrara"[179].  This is the only document so far identified which suggests that an autonomous part of the kingdom was delegated to Queen Toda during the reign of her son.  The Codex de Roda records the death of "Tuta regina", undated but immediately following the record of the death in 970 of her son King García III[180]

King Sancho I & his wife had six children:

4.         VELASQUITA Sánchez de Navarra.  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea rex et domna Onneca et domna Sanzia et domna Urraca…domna Belasquita, necnon et domna Orbita" as the children of "Sanzio Garseanis" and his wife "Tota Asnari", stating that Velasquita married "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis", secondly "domni Galindi filium Uernardi comitis et domne Tute" and thirdly "Furtunio Galindonis"[196].  "Sancius rex…cum coniux mea Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 5 Jan 925, confirmed by "…Garsea eiusdem principis filius, Enneca eiusdem principis filia, Belaschita eiusdem principis filia…"[197]m firstly (after 923) MUNIO Conde de Vizcaya, son of --- (-before 931).  The precise identity of Velasquita´s first husband is uncertain.  The Codex de Roda does not specify his patronymic.  A reference has been found during the same period to Munio Vélaz Conde de Álava, son of Vela Jiménez Conde de Álava & his wife ---, and it is possible that this was the same person.  The title conde was granted infrequently during this period and no reference has yet been found in the Álava/Vizcaya area to another Conde Munio in the early 10th century.  Given that comital titles were granted on a personal basis without territorial qualification, it is not impossible that the same nobleman held land in both Álava and Vizcaya and therefore that he would have been described as conde in either territory in different primary sources.  m secondly ([930]) GALINDO de Ribagorza, son of BERNARDO [I] Conde de Ribagorza & his wife Tota ---.  m thirdly FORTÚN Galíndez, son of ---.  Governor of Nájera from 928 to 973[198].  "Senior Fortunio Galindoyc in Nazera…" confirmed the grant by "Sancio Garsianis rex" of the monastery of San Pedro de Usún to the bishop of Oya, by charter dated 28 Oct 924[199]

King Sancho had one iIllegitimate daughter by an unknown mistress:

7.          LUPA Sánchez The Codex de Roda names "domna Lopa" as the child of "Sanzio Garseanis…ex anzilla", stating that she was mother of "Regemundo de Bigorra"[202].  She was probably much older than her legitimate brother and sisters, her husband being the great-uncle of the second husband of her half-sister Velasquita Sánchez.  m --- de Bigorre, son of --- (-after 930). 

 

 

GARCÍA Sánchez de Navarra, son of SANCHO I García King of Navarre & his wife Toda Aznárez ([919]-22 Feb 970, bur San Estebán).  The Codex de Roda names "Garsea rex et domna Onneca et domna Sanzia et domna Urraca…domna Belasquita, necnon et domna Orbita" as the children of "Sanzio Garseanis" and his wife "Tota Asnari"[203].  "Sancius rex…cum coniux mea Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 5 Jan 925, confirmed by "…Garsea eiusdem principis filius, Enneca eiusdem principis filia, Belaschita eiusdem principis filia…"[204].  He succeeded his father in 925 as GARCÍA III King of Navarre, under the regency of his uncle Jimeno García.  A charter dated 928 records that “rex Fortunio Garcianes” had set the limits of “villis...Benassa et...Katamesas” and that they were confirmed by “rege Scemeno Garcianes et suo creato domno Garsea filio de rege Sancio Garsianes”, the dating clause recording “regnante Scemeno Garsianes cum suo creato domno Garsea in Pampilona et in Deiu...[205].  "Tota regina, seu filio meo Garsia Sancius" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 20 Sep 928[206].  On the death in 931 of his uncle Jimeno, Íñigo García seized the regency but was forced out in 933 by King García III's mother, the Queen Mother Toda, who installed herself as regent for her son[207].  The Codex de Roda records that "nepus eius Garsea Sanzionis" succeeded after the death of "Scemeno Garseanis" in 931, stating that he was "XII etatis sue anno"[208].  "Garsea Sancio" confirmed donations to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by "Sancio Garsee…commites domno Galindo, Asenari, Galindonis cum omnis fratres eius" by charter dated 9 Mar 933, signed by "Tota Isenari"[209].  Caliph Abd al-Rahman III invaded Navarre once more in 934, obliging Regent Toda to submit to Córdoba, release Muslim hostages and break with the other Christian kingdoms of the peninsula, although her son was recognised as king by the caliph.  Toda broke the peace unilaterally in 937, but was defeated once more by the Muslims[210].  However, regent Toda allied herself with Ramiro II King of León and Fernando González Conde de Castilla, their combined forces defeating the caliph's troops at Alhandega/al-Khandaq, near Simancas in 939[211].  "Garcia rex filius Santii regis et Tote regine" confirmed a donation to Leire by charter dated 14 Feb 938[212].  "Garsea rex…cum genitrice Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 22 Nov 947, witnessed by "Santius Ranimiri regis filius, Fortis Iustis…Flaginus comes, Garsea, Eximino, Fortunio Galendo…"[213].  "Garsea rex…cum genitrice…Tuta regina et cum filiis Sancio et Ranimiro adque Urraka" donated property "in loco Alvelda…villam quam olim tradiderat cliens noster Velasco Donniz", to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 953, witnessed by "Sancio rex et Ranimiro rex…"[214].  The Cronica de Sampiro records that "avunculo suo…Garsiano rege Pampilonensium…" helped Sancho in his rebellion against his brother Ordoño III King of León[215].  Relations between the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula deteriorated when Sancho I "el Craso" King of Asturias sought refuge in Navarre in 958 after he was deposed by his cousin King Ordoño IV.  King García III, allied with the caliph, helped restore King Sancho to the throne in 960.  He also defeated and captured Fernando González Conde de Castilla[216].  After the latter was released by his daughter Urraca, King García formed an alliance with Castile and Barcelona against Caliph Al-Hakam II.  The alliance was, however, unsuccessful and King García lost Calahorra to the caliph's troops[217].  He was Conde de Aragón by right of his wife.  The Codex de Roda records the death "970 VIII Kal Mar" of "Garsea Sanzionis "[218].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records that "Garsea rex" was buried "in castro Sancti Stefani"[219]

m firstly (after 9 Mar 933, repudiated 940) his first cousin, ANDREGOTO Galíndez Condesa de Aragón, daughter of GALINDO [II] Aznar Conde de Aragón & his second wife Sancha García de Navarra (-972).  One manuscript of the Codex de Roda names "Aznarium Galindonis et domna Andregoto regina et domna Belasquita" as the children of "domno Galindo comes de Aragone" and his wife "domna Sanzia"[220].  As Andregoto is not named in her husband's charter dated 9 Mar 933 (see above), it is assumed that they married after that date.  However, this charter, confirming donations to San Pedro de Siresa by Andregoto's ancestors, suggests that the marriage may have been planned already at that time.  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, names "Sancium et Ramirum" as the two sons of "Garsea Sanciones…et uxore sua regina Eximina"[221], confusing King García III with his grandson King García IV, whose wife was named Jimena[222].  Caliph Abd al-Rahman III imposed the repudiation by King García III of his wife under the peace terms negotiated with Sunyer Conde de Barcelona in 940, as part of his strategy of dividing the alliances between the various Christian kingdoms and counties in the peninsula[223].  "Endregoto Galindonis et prole eius Sancio Garseanis rex et uxor eius Urraca Fredenandizi" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by charter dated 29 Jun 971[224]

m secondly (943 or before) TERESA, daughter of --- (-after Sep 957).  "Garsea…Santionis rex cum coniuge mea Tarasia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 943, confirmed by "Sancius ipsius regis filius…"[225].  "Garsea Sancionis rex…cum coniuge mea Tarasia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 946, confirmed by "Santio ipsius regis filius…Fortun Galindoz, Fortun Scemenonis"[226].  "Garsea Sancionis rex…cum coniuge mea Tarasia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated [956], confirmed by "Gundissalvus comes, Ranimirus comes, Didacus comes, Fertunius dux et abba, Fertunius Garseanis, sennor Lope Garseanis suus germanus…"[227].  "Garsea Sancionis rex…cum coniuge mea Tarasia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated Sep 957, confirmed by "Didacus comes, Ranimiro comes, Eximinus Vigilanis, Lope Garseanis"[228]

King García III & his first wife had one child:

1.         SANCHO García "Abarca" de Navarra ([935/40]-Dec 994)His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Jun 971 under which "Endregoto Galindonis et prolem eius Sancio Garsianis rex" donated property[229].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records that "filius eius Sancius rex" succeeded on the death of "Garsea rex"[230].  He succeeded his father in 970 as SANCHO II "Abarca" King of Navarre, Conde de Aragón.

King García III & his [first/second] wife had three children:

2.         RAMIRO García ([937/40]-8 Jul 981, bur Leire).  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, names "Sancium et Ramirum" as the two sons of "Garsea Sanciones…et uxore sua regina Eximina"[231]"Garsea rex…cum genitrice…Tuta regina et cum filiis Sancio et Ranimiro adque Urraka" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 953, witnessed by "Sancio rex et Ranimiro rex…"[232].  "Fortunius Garseani" donated property to the monastery of Sahagún by charter dated 20 Jan 962, confirmed by "Ramirus Garseani prolis et provintie Pampilonie…"[233].  He was established as king of Viguera in 970, in accordance with the testament of his father[234].  "Santio…rex…cum fratre meo Ranimiro et domna Urraca regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated [10 Dec 970], confirmed by "…Fortunio Galindonis, Scemeno Santionis…"[235].  "Santio rex simulque frater meus Ranimirus et dompna Urraca regina" confirmed a donation to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 971, confirmed by "…Dompna Urraca, eiusdem regis germana, Garsea ipsius regis filius…Furtunio Galindonis dux, sennor Eximino Santionis, Furtunio Garseanis…"[236].  “Sancius rex et Ranemirus rex…cum Clara Urraka regina” donated “la villa de Cirueña” to the “monasterio de San Andrés de Cirueña” by charter dated 13 Nov 972, signed by “Sanctius…rex, cum prolis Garseam” confirmed by “Ranemirus frater ipsius regis…domna Urraka Clara regina[237].  The dating clause of a charter dated 22 May 974, under which the monks of San Martín de Albelda exchanged property with the men of Leza, names "regnante…principe nostro Sancio in Pampilona et sub illius imperio frater eius Ranimiro in Vekaria et in Leza"[238].  "Sancius rex et Urraka regina…cum germanis nostris Ranimiro et Eximino" confirmed a prior donation to San Pedro de Siresa by "genitor noster Garsea rex" by charter dated 15 Feb 979, confirmed by "Eximino Sancionis, Garsea Furtunionis, Belasco Lihoriz"[239].  The Codex de Roda records the death of "Tuta regina" followed by "Ranimirus nepus eius", undated but immediately following the record of the death in 970 of her son King García III[240].  "Sancho Garcés II Abarca y su mujer la reina Urraca" donated property to the monastery of Leire, in memory of "el difunto rey Ramiro de Viguera", by charter dated 15 Aug 981[241].  "Sancho Garcés II Abarca, la reina Urraca" donated property to the monastery of Leire, for the soul of "Ramiro de Viguera, hermano del rey", by charter dated 15 Feb 991[242]m ---.  The name of Ramiro's wife is not known.  However, it is possible that she was Sancha Sánchez, daughter of Sancho --- & his wife --- (-after 15 Aug [981]).  This is based on the charter dated 15 Aug [981] under which Sancho II King of Navarre donated property to Leire monastery in memory of his brother Ramiro, which is subscribed by "…Domna Sanccia Sanccionis…"[243].  Sancha´s name has a position of prominence among the subscribers, following immediately after the king´s son García and his nephews Sancho Ramírez and García Ramírez.  The names of these four subscribers precede the names of the bishops in the document.  Another possibility is that Sancha Sánchez was the daughter of King Sancho, although none of his other known daughters subscribed the document.  Ramiro & his wife had [three] children: 

a)         SANCHO Ramírez de Viguera ([960/70]-).  “…Santio Ranimirus, Garssia Ranimirus…” confirmed the charter dated 15 Feb 991 under which "Santio Garsseanis rex…cum coniux mea Urraca regina" donated property to the monastery of Leire[244].  "Sancio rex…" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 992, signed by "…Sancio filius Ranimiri regis, Garsea frater eius…"[245].  King of Viguera 981-999.  m ---.  The name of Sancho's wife is not known.  Sancho & his wife had two children:

i)          [LOPE Sánchez (-[1058/60]).  According to Jaurgain, Lope Sánchez was the son of Sancho Ramírez[246].  However, it is not clear that this parentage is confirmed by the primary sources which he cites.  The difficulty is that there were at least three different Navarrese noblemen named Lope Sánchez in the first half of the 11th century (see NAVARRE NOBILITY) and no confirmation has been found that any of them was the son of Sancho Ramírez.  Jaurgain also states that Sancho III "le Mayor" King of Navarre invested his cousin, Lope Sánchez son of Sancho Ramírez, as vicomte de Labourd, the territory of which included the valleys of Arberoue, Ossès, Cize, Irissary, Iholdy et Armendarits, but he does not cite the primary source which confirms that this is correct[247].  Vicomte de Labourd.  "Loup-Sanche vicomte de Labourd…[et] Fortun-Sanche son frère" donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne to the bishop of Labourd by charter dated 1058[248].] 

ii)         [FORTÚN Sánchez (-1062 or after).  According to Jaurgain, Fortún Sánchez was the brother of Lope Sánchez, and son of Sancho Ramírez although he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[249].  Vicomte de Labourd.  "Loup-Sanche vicomte de Labourd…[et] Fortun-Sanche son frère" donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne to the bishop of Labourd by charter dated 1058[250]

b)         GARCÍA Ramírez de Viguera (-after 1005 or after 1009).  …Santio Ranimirus, Garssia Ranimirus…” confirmed the charter dated 15 Feb 991 under which "Santio Garsseanis rex…cum coniux mea Urraca regina" donated property to the monastery of Leire[251].  "Sancio rex…" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 992, signed by "…Sancio filius Ranimiri regis, Garsea frater eius…"[252].  King of Viguera 999-1005.  He may have been the Christian prince who allied himself with Abd al-Rahman "Sanchuelo" in an attempt to restore the latter to power in Córdoba in 1009 after the coup led by Caliph Muhammad al-Mahdi[253]m [as her first husband,] TODA, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1054 under which “Fronilla, Garsie regis filia et regine domne Tote” donated property “in Torrillas” to the monastery of Irache[254].  There is no other “Garsia rex” to whom this can apply other than garcía Ramírez.  A suggestion about an earlier or later possible marriage of Toda is provided by the same charter which refers to “sorore mea que peccavit et fornicata est cum fratre suo”.  It is unlikely that “fratre suo” should be interpreted literally.  However, it is possible that the husband of Fronilda´s sister was the stepson of her mother, a relationship which may have been disapproved by the church even though they were not members of the same blood line.  If this is correct, it is likely that this other marriage of Toda was her second, after the death of García Ramírez, and that her husband already had a son by his first wife.  García & his wife had [four] children: 

i)          TODA García de Viguera ([985/1000]-after 1050)"Senior Furtun Sancii…cum uxor mea dompna Tota" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, for the soul of "socer meus regi Garsea Ranimiriz", by charter dated 1050, which names "frater meus senior Garsea Fortuniones" and is confirmed by "…senior Fortun Sancii dominator Naiera…"[255].  This separate confirmation suggests that the donor may not have been the same person as Fortún Sánchez Señor de Nájera, although it is not the only example found where one of the main protagonists in a charter is also listed as a confirmant or subscriber.  m FORTÚN Sánchez Señor de Nájera, son of --- (-killed in battle 1054).   

ii)         FRONILDA García de Viguera (-1054 or after).  Fronilla, Garsie regis filia et regine domne Tote” donated property “in Torrillas” to the monastery of Irache by charter dated 1054[256]

iii)        [daughter .  The charter dated 1054 under which “Fronilla, Garsie regis filia et regine domne Tote” donated property “in Torrillas” to the monastery of Irache refers to “sorore mea que peccavit et fornicata est cum fratre suo[257].  It is possible that this sister of Fronilda is the same person as Toda mentioned above.  It is unlikely that “fratre suo” should be interpreted literally.  However, it is possible that this daughter´s husband was the stepson of Fronilda´s mother, a relationship which may have been disapproved by the church even though they were not members of the same blood line.]  

c)         [TODA Ramírez .  Her marriage and patronymic are confirmed by the charter dated 1087 under which her daughter “dompna Sancia Oriol” donated Zabalza and Idocin to Leire monastery, for the souls of “patris mei Oriol Garceiz et matris mee Tota Ranimiriz…[258].  The identity of her father as Ramiro García de Viguera is not certain.  However, the chronology appears to be favourable and no other Ramiro has been identified at that time among the Navarrese nobility.  m AURELIO García, son of GARCÍA --- & his wife --- (-after 13 Apr 1042).] 

3.         URRACA García .  "Garsea rex…cum genitrice…Tuta regina et cum filiis Sancio et Ranimiro adque Urraka" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 953, witnessed by "Sancio rex et Ranimiro rex…"[259].  "Santio rex simulque frater meus Ranimirus et dompna Urraca regina" confirmed a donation to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 971, confirmed by "…Dompna Urraca, eiusdem regis germana, Garsea ipsius regis filius…Furtunio Galindonis dux, sennor Eximino Santionis, Furtunio Garseanis…"[260]same person as…?  URRACA (-[12 Jul], before 3 Apr [1009]).  Her parentage and two marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[261], but the primary source which confirms that they are correct has not yet been identified.  Del Pino assumes that her first marriage is correct when he records that Urraca took the initiative to free Fernando González Conde de Castilla, captured by the forces of King García III in 960, married him and escaped to Burgos[262].  She is not named in any of the documents in the compilation relating to the county of Castile[263].  The timing of her reappearance at the court of Navarre to sign the 971 charter quoted above is consistent with her having been recently widowed from her supposed first husband.  Concerning her second marriage, the charter dated 992 under which her brother Sancho King of Navarre donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla is signed, among others, by "…Sancio filius Gogelmi comitis…" (apparently Urraca's son by this supposed second marriage)[264].  The charter dated 993, under which "Willelmus Sancius comes" restored the monastery of Saint-Sever, also appears to confirm his wife´s royal parentage when it records that "meæ conjugis Urracæ, ex regali stirpe procedentis…" consented to the restoration[265].  "Willelmus Sancius comes et dominus totius Vasconie, cum Urraca sua muliere" donated the church of Sainte-Susanne to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde by undated charter[266].  "Willelmus Sancius comes et dominus totius Vasconie, cum Urraca sua muliere" donated the church of Sainte-Susanne to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde by undated charter[267].  "Willelmus Sancius comes et dominus totius Vasconie, cum Urraca sua muliere" donated the church of Sainte-Susanne to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde by undated charter[268]The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis" donated property to the convent of Condom, for the souls of "meorumque parentum, item Garsiæ-Sanctii Comitis et filii sui Sanctii-Garsiæ Comitis, et Guillermi-Sanctii Comitis et Gimbaldi Episcopi, et Guillelmi Comitis, et Garsiæ Comitis, et Bernardi-Guillelmi Comitis, et Urachæ Comitissæ"[269].  She died before 3 Apr [1009], the date of the charter under which her son "Bernardus Willelmus comes…cum germano meo Sancio" confirmed, "annuente beatæ memoriæ matre mea Urraca", the foundation of Saint-Sever by "genitor meus Willelmus Sancio comes", this wording suggesting that Urraca died only shortly before the confirmation especially as the document is purportedly signed by "Urracæ comitissæ"[270].  The necrology of Saint-Sever records the death "IV Id Jul…1041" of "Urraca comitissa"[271].  However, either the year is incorrect or this entry refers to another "Urraca comitissa".  Even without the evidence of the 3 Apr [1009] charter, Urraca would have been well over 90 years in 1041 if this entry refers to the wife of Guillaume Sancho. m firstly (before 26 Dec 955) as his second wife, FERNANDO González Conde de Castilla, son of GONZALO Fernández Conde de Castilla & his wife Muniadomna [de Asturias] ([910]-Jun 970).  m secondly (after 14 Jul 972) GUILLAUME Sanchez Comte de Gascogne, son of [SANCHO Garcia] & his wife --- (-[996]). 

4.         JIMENO García (-after 15 Feb 979).  "Sancius rex et Urraka regina…cum germanis nostris Ranimiro et Eximino" confirmed a prior donation to San Pedro de Siresa by "genitor noster Garsea rex" by charter dated 15 Feb 979, confirmed by "Eximino Sancionis, Garsea Furtunionis, Belasco Lihoriz"[272]

 

 

SANCHO García de Navarra, son of GARCÍA III Sánchez King of Navarre & his first wife Andregota Galíndez Condesa de Aragón (after 935-Dec 994).  The Libro de Regla of Leire Monastery, compiled in 1076, names "Sancium et Ramirum" as the two sons of "Garsea Sanciones…et uxore sua regina Eximina"[273]"Garsea rex…cum genitrice…Tuta regina et cum filiis Sancio et Ranimiro adque Urraka" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 953, witnessed by "Sancio rex et Ranimiro rex…"[274].  His mother's name is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Jun 971 under which "Endregoto Galindonis et prolem eius Sancio Garsianis rex" donated property[275].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records that "filius eius Sancius rex" succeeded on the death of "Garsea rex"[276].  He succeeded his father in 970 as SANCHO II García "Abarca" King of Navarre, Conde de Aragón.  He inherited a kingdom which had been considerably weakened by Muslim attacks during the last years of his predecessor's rule, and on his accession accepted the suzerainty of Caliph al-Hakam II.  King Sancho attempted unsuccessfully to reassert his authority but was defeated in 975 at Estercuel near Tudela[277].  A period of calm followed, presumably due to a pact with al-Mansor confirmed by the latter's marriage with King Sancho's illegitimate daughter.  "Endregoto Galindonis et prole eius Sancio Garseanis rex et uxor eius Urraca Fredenandizi" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by charter dated 29 Jun 971[278].  “Sancius rex et Ranemirus rex…cum Clara Urraka regina” donated “la villa de Cirueña” to the “monasterio de San Andrés de Cirueña” by charter dated 13 Nov 972, signed by “Sanctius…rex, cum prolis Garseam” confirmed by “Ranemirus frater ipsius regis…domna Urraka Clara regina[279].  "Garsias Ferdinandez…cum coniuge mea Ava comitisa" founded the monastery of Infantado de Covarrubias, offering "filiam…nostram Urracam" as a nun there, by charter dated 25 Dec 978, confirmed by "…Sancio rex, Urraka regina, rege Scemeno…"[280].  "Sancius rex et Urraka regina…cum germanis nostris Ranimiro et Eximino" confirmed a prior donation to San Pedro de Siresa by "genitor noster Garsea rex" by charter dated 15 Feb 979, confirmed by "Eximino Sancionis, Garsea Furtunionis, Belasco Lihoriz"[281].  A charter dated 17 Sep 983 confirmed an agreement between Benedicto Bishop of Nájera and the abbot of Albelda, witnessed by "Sancio rex, Urraca regina, Garsea regulus, Ranimirus regulus, Gondesalvus regulus…"[282]Sanctio principem...cum coniuge mea Urraca et filios nostros Garsea et Ranemiro una cum Gundesabo” granted “villa in territorio Ataresensem...Badagues” to “domno Santio presbiter Ataresense” by charter dated 1 Jan 985[283]"Sancio, filio Garseani regis…cum coniux mea Urraka et filios nostros Garsea et Ranimiro et Gundisalvo" confirmed a donation to the monastery of Pampaneto by charter dated 6 May 985[284].  The Muslims renewed their attacks on Navarre from 990, obliging King Sancho to visit Córdoba in 992 to negotiate peace[285].  "Santio Garsseanis rex…cum coniux mea Urraca regina" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 15 Feb 991[286].  "Sancio rex…cum…subole Urraca regina et vina prole Garsea et coniux eius Eximina et Gundessalvo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 992, signed by "Sancio rex…Urraca regina, Garsea eorundem filius, Gundessalvus frater eius, Eximina regina, Sancio filius Ranimiri regis, Garsea frater eius, Sancio filius Gogelmi comitis…"[287]

m (962) as her third husband, URRACA Fernández de Castilla, widow firstly of ORDOÑO III King of León and secondly of ORDOÑO IV "el Malo" King of León, daughter of FERNANDO González Conde de Castilla & his first wife Sancha Sánchez de Navarra (-after 1007).  The Cronica de Sampiro records the marriage of "Ordonius filius regis" and "filiam Fredenandi…Urracam", from the context dated to the reconciliation of King Ramiro II and Conde Fernando after the latter's rebellion[288], which is dated to [943/44] by Torres[289].  The Cronica de Sampiro records the marriage of "Ordonium…Adefonsy regis filium" and "Ferdinando Burgensium comitte…filiam suam…relictam ab Ordonio Ramiri filio"[290].  The Codex de Roda records the marriage of "regem Sanctium" and "Urracam, filiam comitis Sanctii de Castella"[291], although it is chronologically more acceptable that Urraca was the daughter of Conde Fernando, which is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Jun 971 under which "Endregoto Galindonis et prole eius Sancio Garseanis rex et uxor eius Urraca Fredenandizi" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa[292].  The Chronicon Burgense also states incorrectly that King Sancho was “gener comitis Sancii[293].  "Santio…rex…cum fratre meo Ranimiro et domna Urraca regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated [10 Dec 970], confirmed by "…Fortunio Galindonis, Scemeno Santionis…"[294].  "Endregoto Galindonis et prole eius Sancio Garseanis rex et uxor eius Urraca Fredenandizi" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by charter dated 29 Jun 971[295].  “Sancius rex et Ranemirus rex…cum Clara Urraka regina” donated “la villa de Cirueña” to the “monasterio de San Andrés de Cirueña” by charter dated 13 Nov 972, signed by “Sanctius…rex, cum prolis Garseam” confirmed by “Ranemirus frater ipsius regis…domna Urraka Clara regina[296].  "Sancius rex et Urraka regina…cum germanis nostris Ranimiro et Eximino" confirmed a prior donation to San Pedro de Siresa by "genitor noster Garsea rex" by charter dated 15 Feb 979, confirmed by "Eximino Sancionis, Garsea Furtunionis, Belasco Lihoriz"[297].  "Garsias Ferdinandez…cum coniuge mea Ava comitisa" founded the monastery of Infantado de Covarrubias, offering "filiam…nostram Urracam" as a nun there, by charter dated 25 Dec 978, confirmed by "…Sancio rex, Urraka regina, rege Scemeno…"[298]Sanctio principem...cum coniuge mea Urraca et filios nostros Garsea et Ranemiro una cum Gundesabo” granted “villa in territorio Ataresensem...Badagues” to “domno Santio presbiter Ataresense” by charter dated 1 Jan 985[299]"Sancio, filio Garseani regis…cum coniux mea Urraka et filios nostros Garsea et Ranimiro et Gundisalvo" confirmed a donation to the monastery of Pampaneto by charter dated 6 May 985[300].  "Santio Garsseanis rex…cum coniux mea Urraca regina" donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 15 Feb 991[301].  "Sancio rex…cum…subole Urraca regina et vina prole Garsea et coniux eius Eximina et Gundessalvo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 992, signed by "Sancio rex…Urraca regina, Garsea eorundem filius, Gundessalvus frater eius, Eximina regina, Sancio filius Ranimiri regis, Garsea frater eius, Sancio filius Gogelmi comitis…"[302].  "Garsea rex et uxor mea Eximina, cum domna Urracha regina" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa by charter dated to [995/1004][303].  She became a nun after the death of her third husband.

King Sancho II had [one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress]:   

7.          [ABDA "la Vascona” . The name of the maternal grandfather of Abd al-Rahman "Sanchuelo", son of al-Mansur, is assumed to have been Sancho because of the nickname which his grandson is given in Arab primary sources.  Dozy suggests that he was either Sancho García Conde de Castilla or Sancho II García King of Navarre, on the assumption that only the daughter of one of the most prominent Christian leaders of the time would have been considered as a suitable bride for such a prominent person[341].  He quotes a passage from Ibn-al-Khatib which records that "le chef des Roum offrit sa fille" to al-Mansur and that she became his favourite wife, suggesting that it refers to the mother of Sanchuelo[342].  Dozy highlights no primary sources which identifies "Sancho" more precisely, and indeed the way he writes suggests that no such source exists.  "Le chef des Roum" suggests Sancho King of Navarre rather than Sancho Conde de Castilla, but this is not beyond doubt.  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Sanchuelo´s mother was "Abda la Vascona", illegitimate daughter of Sancho King of Navarre.  The basis for this speculation is not known but it may be no more than guesswork assuming that it is correct that Dozy ignored no available primary source.  The primary source which confirms the name "Abda" has not yet been identified either.  Presumably it has been assumed that Sanchuelo´s mother must have been illegitimate if she was married to a Muslim prince, but this conclusion is not consistent with the parentage of other Navarrese princesses who were married to Muslim leaders.  m polygamously, MUHAMMAD bin Abi Amir "al-Mansur/the Victorious" Regent of Córdoba (-10 Aug 1002).] 

 

 

SANCHO García de Navarra, son of GARCÍA IV Sánchez King of Navarre & his wife Jimena Fernández ([990/92]-murdered Bureba 18 Oct 1035, bur Monastery of San Salvador de Oña[343], transferred to León, royal pantheon of San Isidro[344]).  “…Ranimirus…regulus, Gundesalbo regulus…Sancio regulus…” confirmed the charter dated 31 Dec [997] under which “Garsea Sancioni rex…cum coniux mea Eximina” donated property to the monastery of Leire[345].  The Historia Silense records that "Sancius filius eius" succeeded on the death of King García[346].  He succeeded his father in 999 as SANCHO III "el Mayor" King of Navarre, Conde de Aragón, under the regency of --- until 1005.  The Muslim attacks against Navarre continued unabated, culminating in the capture of Pamplona in 1000[347].  “Sancius…rex…cum coniuge mea regina domina Maiora” donated property to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 17 Apr 1014[348].  "Sancius rex…cum coniuge mea Mumadonna regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 24 Jun 1014, signed by "…sennor Lope Sancii maiordomus, sennor Lope Ennecones botilarius, sennor Garsea Lopez, sennor Enneco Sanchiz Naialensis, sennor Fortun Sanchiz frater eius, sennor Eximino Garceiz Osselensis, sennor Fortun Belasquiz Funensis"[349].  Conde de Ribagorza [1018]: the end 13th century “Crònica d´Alaó Renovada” records that, after the death of “Guillelmum Ysarni, quem genuerat Ysarnus prefatus ex concubina” (dated to 1018]), Ribagorza was inherited by “rex Sancius...jure propinquitatis”, explained because “Major comitissa soror comitis Sancii de Castella” married “comitis Paliarensis Raimundi Suniarii” and remained in Ribagorza after their marriage was ended “consanguinitatis causa”, and because “rex Sancius Pampilonensis” married “filiam predicti comitis Sancii de Castella...Majorem[350].  "Sancius rex" confirmed a donation of property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by his parents by charter dated 1020, signed by "Momadonna regina, Garsea regulus, Ranimirus regulus prolis regis...Lope Sanchiz maiordomus, Lope Ennecones botellarius, sennor Enneco Sancii Naialensis et Muensis, sennor Fortun Belasquiz Funensis"[351].  King Sancho III confirmed the donation of the monastery of San Cristóbal de Tobia to San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1020, signed by "Momadonna regina cum filiis meis Garsea regulus, Ranimirus frater eius, Ranimirus alius frater eius..."[352].  "Sancius rex et uxor mea Muma dompna regina" donated property to the monastery of Yarte y Anoz by charter dated 17 May 1024, confirmed by "Garsias regulus, Ranimirus frater eius, Gunçalvus frater eius, Fredinandus frater horum…"[353].  He claimed the county of Castile in his wife's name after the murder of her brother conde García Sánchez in 1029, and incorporated the whole of Castile into his kingdom.  Taking advantage of the weakness of the caliphate which followed the death of Abd al-Malik, Sancho III led a rapid of expansion of the territory of Navarre to the west, capturing most of the kingdom of León.  He forced the marriage of his son Fernando to Sancha de León, sister of Vermudo III King of León.  He captured the city of León from Vermudo in 1034 when he declared himself emperor of all the Hispano-Christian principalities.  Strongly influenced by French monarchist theories and feudal norms, he was the first monarch to adopt the French practice of claiming to rule "by the grace of God", later adopted by the other Iberian monarchies, and introduced the term vassal into local usage[354].  His personal empire was short-lived as he decreed the division of his territories between his sons after his death.  The Chronicon Burgense records the death in 1035 of “Sancius Rex Abarca[355].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records the death in 1035 of "Sancius rex" and his burial "Onie monasterio", although the passage is garbled as the earlier part of the sentence records the succession in 970 of King Sancho II[356]

Mistress (1): SANCHA de Aibar, daughter of --- ([995]-[27 Oct 1070/1076], bur Monastery of San Juan de la Peña).  The Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium refers to the mother of "Raimirus filius Sancii Regis Navarrorum" as "nobilissima domina de castro…Ayunarum"[365].  Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 27 Oct 1070 under which "domina Sancia, mater Ranimiri regis" granted the monastery of Santa Cecilia de Aibar "quam dedit michi illa regine domna Eximina mater Sancionis regis" to "nepte mea domna Sancia", in the presence of "abbatissa domne Mennose soror episcopi domni Sancii Aragonensium"[366].  Señora de Miranda, and of the monastery of Santa Cecilia de Aibar[367]

King Sancho III & his wife had [seven] children: 

1.         [MAYOR Sánchez (-before 1044).  Pérez de Urbel proposes this origin for the first wife of Pons Comte de Toulouse, suggesting that the name "Majorie" (by which she is referred in French sources) is similar to "Mayor" and may indicate a connection with Castile or Navarre[368].  Although this origin is not impossible, it does seem unlikely that such a prominent origin of the wife of Comte Pons should not have been recorded in contemporary sources.  "Poncius" donated property to "sponse mee Maiore" at the time of their marriage by charter dated 14 Sep 1037, signed by "Willelmo patri suo, Bertramno…"[369]m (before 14 Sep 1037) as his first wife, PONS-GUILLAUME de Toulouse, son of GUILLAUME III "Taillefer" Comte de Toulouse & his second wife Emma de Provence (-1060, bur Toulouse, Saint-Sernin).  He succeeded his father in 1037 as PONS Comte de Toulouse.] 

2.         GARCÍA Sánchez de Navarra ([1005/10]-killed in battle Atapuerca 1 Sep 1054).  The Anales Toledanos record the birth “en el mes de Noviembre” in 1016 of “el Infant fillo del Rey D. Sancho…Garcia Sanchez[370]Bearing in mind the likely chronology of García´s illegitimate daughter Mencía, it is likely that he was born a few years earlier than 1016.  Under the division of territories organised by his father prior to his death, he received Navarre, succeeding in 1035 as GARCÍA V "él de Nájera” King of Navarre

4.         GONZALO Sánchez de Navarra (-murdered Monclus 26 Jun 1045, bur San Victorian).  “Ranimirus proles regis, Garseanes frater eius, Gundisaluus frater eius, Ferdinandus frater eius” confirmed the charter dated 17 Apr 1014 under which “Sancius…rex…cum coniuge mea regina domina Maiora” donated property to the monastery of Leire, although the absence of the brother Bernardo suggests that this charter should be redated to approximately ten years later[373].  "Sancius…rex" recommended the rule of St Benedict to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 21 Oct 1022, subscribed by "Eximina regina mater regis, Regina domna Muma, Garsia et Ranimirus, Gundesalbus et Fernandus"[374].  "Sancius rex et uxor mea Muma dompna regina" donated property to the monastery of Yarte y Anoz by charter dated 17 May 1024, confirmed by "Garsias regulus, Ranimirus frater eius, Gunçalvus frater eius, Fredinandus frater horum…"[375].  Under the division of territories organised by his father prior to his death, he received Sobrarbe and Ribagorza in north Aragon, succeeding in 1035 as GONZALO King of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe.  His half-brother Ramiro I King of Aragon defeated him and annexed Sobrarbe and Ribagorza.  The Crónica de San Juan de Peña states that Gonzalo was killed "en el puent de Monclus" and buried "en Sant Vitorian"[376].  The end 13th century “Crònica d´Alaó Renovada” records that “rex Sancius Pampilonensis...filium suum Gonzaldum” was installed by his father “in Rippacurtiam...comitem in ibi” but was killed “apud Alascorre[377]

5.         BERNARDO Sánchez de Navarra (-after 17 Dec 1024).  "Sancius rex…cum coniuge mea Munnia domna" donated property to the monastery of Albelda by charter dated 17 Dec 1024, confirmed by "Garsea proles regis et frater eius Gonzalvus, Ranimirus et Bernardus cum fratre eorum Fredinando"[378]

6.         FERNANDO Sánchez de Navarra ([1016/18]-27 Dec 1065)Ranimirus proles regis, Garseanes frater eius, Gundisaluus frater eius, Ferdinandus frater eius” confirmed the charter dated 17 Apr 1014 under which “Sancius…rex…cum coniuge mea regina domina Maiora” donated property to the monastery of Leire, although the absence of the brother Bernardo suggests that this charter should be redated to approximately ten years later[379].  "Sancius…rex" recommended the rule of St Benedict to the monastery of Leire by charter dated 21 Oct 1022, subscribed by "Eximina regina mater regis, Regina domna Muma, Garsia et Ranimirus, Gundesalbus et Fernandus"[380].  "Sancius rex et uxor mea Muma dompna regina" donated property to the monastery of Yarte y Anoz by charter dated 17 May 1024, confirmed by "Garsias regulus, Ranimirus frater eius, Gunçalvus frater eius, Fredinandus frater horum…"[381].  The charter of "Sancius Hispaniarum rex" dated 26 Jun 1033 relating to concessions to the monastery of Oriense was confirmed by his sons (in order) "Ranimirus…Garsea…Fredinandus"[382].  His father installed him as Conde de Castilla in 1029, in succession to his maternal uncle.  The Historia Silense records that King Sancho granted "Castella" to "Fernandum"[383].  Under the division of territories organised by his father prior to his death, he received Castile, succeeding in 1035 as FERNANDO I "el Magno" King of Castile.  He proclaimed himself King of León and Galicia after the defeat of his brother-in-law Vermudo III King of León at Tamarón 4 Sep 1037.  m (Nov/Dec 1032) SANCHA de León, daughter of ALFONSO V King of León & his first wife Elvira Menéndez (1013-7 Nov 1067).  The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Vermudo and Sancha" as the children of King Alfonso and his wife Elvira, specifying that Sancha married "King Fernando, the son of King Sancho the Fat"[384].

7.         [JIMENA Sánchez de Navarra  (-after 23 Dec 1062, bur San Isidro de León)Although the wife of Vermudo III King of Leon is described in the epitaph on her tomb as "domna Xemena uxor regis Veremundi iunioris … Sanctiique Kastellani comitis filia"[385], Salazar y Acha argues convincingly her Navarrese origin[386].  Other evidence cited includes Queen Jimena's confirmation of a donation by Fernando I King of Castile dated 21 Dec 1062 in which she is named "Xemena devota regina soror illius", as well as a similar donation dated 23 Dec 1062[387].  In any case, by the time of Jimena's marriage in [1034/35], her presumed father King Sancho of Navarre was also Conde de Castilla, de iure uxoris, so could correctly have been described as "Sanctiique Kastellani comitis" depending on the point of view of the author of the inscription.  She is incorrectly named Teresa by 13th century chroniclers[388].  She presumably married after 23 Jan 1034, the last date when King Vermudo is named alone in charter documentation[389]"Scemena regina…et filia mea Urraca regina et xristi ancillas" donated property "in territorio Coza super castrum de Muza inter duos rivulos Karrione et Aratoi" to Santiago de Compostela, naming "genitores nostri Fredenandus Ueremudiz et dna. Geluira", by charter dated 26 Sep 1028, subscribed by "Scemena Regina, Urraca regina, Veremudus rex, Scemena regina…"[390].  The indications of the other sources quoted in this document suggest that this charter may be misdated.  She made joint donations with her husband dated 17 Feb 1035, 20 Jan 1036 and 9 Jun 1037[391].  She became a nun at Vega after the death of her husband.  She is named 'Regina Xemena tenente del monasterio de Veiga' in a document dated (presumably wrongly) 1034[392]m ([23 Jan 1034[393]/17 Feb 1035]) VERMUDO III King of Leon, son of ALFONSO V King of León & his first wife Elvira Menéndez ([1017/18][394]-killed in battle Tamarón 4 Sep 1037, bur San Isidro de León).]

m ([Barcelona] 1038) [as her second husband,] ESTEFANÍA, [widow of ---,] (-after 1066).  "Garsea…rex, Sancionis regis filius…cum coniuge mea domina Stefania regina" granted two monasteries to abbot Gómez of Yábar by charter dated 1040[413].  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.   According to Marca, "les mémoires du convent de Nagara" state that she was "fille du comte de Foix", but he does not provide a direct quote or source reference[414].  If Marca is correct, she would be Etiennette de Foix, daughter of Bernard Roger de Carcassonne Comte de Couserans, Carcassonne and Bigorre, Seigneur du pays de Foix & his wife Garsenda Ctss de Bigorre.  The Histoire Générale de Languedoc refers to a marriage contract (again, no quote or source reference) dated 1036, but this is not reproduced by Marca[415].  This is all too vague to show Stephanie´s origin other than in square brackets in the present document, until more precise information comes to light.  Salazar y Acha suggests that Stephanie was the widow of a Catalan nobleman when she married King García, and was the mother of a daughter Constanza who later married her [second] husband´s illegitimate son Sancho (see below)[416].  Firstly, he says that this would explain Stephanie´s presence in Barcelona when she married, which is confirmed by the charter dated 1038 from San Juan de la Peña which names her for the first time with King García and records that he fetched her in Barcelona[417].  Secondly, it would explain the charter dated 29 Nov 1074 under which her son Sancho IV King of Navarre granted “unas casas en la ciudad de Calahorra” to “germano meo domno Sancio et uxori vestra vel germana mea domna Constanza[418], the reference to his sister-in-law as “germana mea” being unusual if she was not also his own sister.  Thirdly, it accords with the narrative in the Crónica Najerense which recounts that “infans domnus Sancius, quem rex Garsias Pampilonensium ex concubina habuerat” abducted “filiam regine Stephanie”, who was betrothed to “Santius rex”, and took her to the court of the Moorish king of Zaragoza and later to Ramiro I King of Aragon, triggering the war between Castille and Aragon in the course of which the Aragonese king was killed in 1064[419].  Salazar y Acha speculates that Stephanie´s first husband was an otherwise unidentified son of Bernardo [I] Conde de Besalú (whose possible sister was named Constanza) but this is only one of the possibilities.  More recently, Salazar Acha has suggested that Estefanía was the widow of Roger [I] de Tosny[420].  There are several reasons why this suggestion is unlikely to be correct.  Firstly, Roger [I]’s marriage is dated to [1017/20] according to Adémar de Chabannes as shown in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY.  If that date is correct, it is unlikely that his widow would have given birth to nine children by a second marriage, whose births are estimated between 1039 and 1054 (see below).  Secondly, Estefanía is named with her husband King García in a charter dated 1040, her marriage probably being dated to a couple of years earlier, whereas Roger [I] is recorded in Normandy around the same time as noted above.  Thirdly, there are intrinsic problems associated with the Chronicon S. Petri Vivi Senonensis: the chronology of the whole passage, of which the reference to Roger’s marriage forms part, is flawed as explained in NORMANDY NOBILITY, and in addition Roger’s wife could not have been the sister of Ramon Berenguer [I] Comte de Barcelona (whose birth is dated to 1023, see the document CATALONIA) if his marriage is correctly dated to [1017/20].  In conclusion, Salazar y Acha’s hypothesis about a first marriage of Estefanía, although appealing, appears unlikely to be correct because Queen Estefania does not include Constanza in her testament dated to [1066] which names all her other known children[421].  "Garsea…rex…cum mulier mea Stephania regina" confirmed the resettlement of Villanova de Pampaneto by charter dated 1 Jan 1044[422].  "Stephanie coniugis" is named in the charter of "Garsia rex, Sancii regis filius" dated 2 Dec 1052[423].  The testament of “Stephania” is dated to [1066] names “domini mei Garsie regis” and bequeathes properties to “meo filio Sancio rex…domno Ranimiro meo filio…domno Fredenando meo filio…domno Regumendo meo filio…filia mea Urraka…filia mea Ermesinda…filia mea Eximina…filia mea Maiore”, in the presence of “senior Eximio Garceiz, senior Fortun Lopez, senior Fortun Sancii, senior Fortun Belaskez, senior Eximio Fortuniones…domna Auria[424]

King García V & his wife had nine children.  The order of birth of these children is uncertain.  As will be seen below, the different primary sources are inconsistent regarding the order in which these children are named.  The order which follows is taken from the [1066] testament of their mother, with the daughters fitted into the order of the sons as appears most appropriate from the other available sources: 

1.         SANCHO de Navarra (1039-murdered Peñalén 4 Jun 1076)The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records that "filius eius Sancius rex" succeeded after the death of "Garsea rex"[425].  After his father's defeat and death, Fernando I King of Castile allowed him to succeed in 1054 as SANCHO IV "él de Peñalén" King of Navarre, provided he agreed to become King Fernando's vassal[426].  Sancho IV was also obliged to return the Bureba district to Castile.  "Sancius rex…cum matre mea Stefania regina" returned property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, donated by "senior Azenari Sanchiz" and usurped by his father, by charter dated 11 Mar 1055, confirmed by "Ranimirus et Fredinandus et Remondus germanos regis…"[427].  The testament of “Stephania”, dated to [1066], names “domini mei Garsie regis” and bequeathes properties to “meo filio Sancio rex…[428].  "Sancius…rex" donated property to the monastery of Valbanera by charter dated 1074, witnessed by "Infans Raimundus frater regis, Ermisenda soror regis, Comes Enneco Lopez dominator Nagera, illius filius Lope Ennecones dominator Alberiti, Senior Furtunio Iohannes dominator Clabilio, Senior Enneco Furtuniones dominator Arneto, Senior Enneco Azenarius dominator Okon et Calagurra…"[429].  The Chronicon Burgense records that “Sancius Rex Garsea” was killed “in Pennalem” in 1076[430].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records that "Sancius rex" was killed in 1076 after reigning 22 years "in Penalene a fraude de frater eius Regimundus"[431].  The charter dated 1079 under which “Mancia Fortunionis” donated property to the monastery of Leire records that “frater suus Regimundus et soror Ermisenda” had killed “rege domno Santio, prole Garssie regis[432].  He was pushed off a cliff by his brother Ramón and his sister Ermesinda[433].  A charter dated 1076 records that Alfonso VI King of Castile ("Adefonsus filius Fredinandi regis") succeeded to the kingdom after "impiisima fraude interfecto rege Sancio, Garsie...regis filius"[434]m (after 1068) PLACENCIA, daughter of --- (-after 14 Apr [1088]).  "Sancius rex…cum uxore mee Placentie regine" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 25 Feb 1070, confirmed by "Raimundus frater meus, Armesilda et dompna Maior germanas regis…"[435].  "Sancius rex…et uxore mee Placencia regine" granted property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 20 Nov 1071, confirmed by "Regimundus frater meus, Eximina et Ermesilda et domna Maior germanas meas…"[436].  "Sancius rex filius regis Garsie…cum coniuge mea Placencia regina" donated property to San Miguel de Excelsis by undated charter[437].  "Sanctius…rex Garsiani regis filius…cum coniuge mea domina Placentia regina" confirmed the properties of the monastery of San Miguel de Excelsis by charter dated 1074[438].  "Rex Sancius…cum regina Placentia uxore mea" donated property to the monasteries of los Santos Cosme y Damián by charter dated 1074[439].  "Sanctius…rex…cum uxore mea domina Placentia regina" declared the rights of towns in Urranci by charter dated 1 Jun 1075[440].  "Sancius rex…cum coniux mea Placentia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "…infans Raimundus, illius soror domna Ermisenda…"[441].  "Senior Didaco Alvarez…cum uxore mea domna Sancia" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 14 Apr [1088], confirmed by "Placencia regina…"[442]Mistress (1): JIMENA, daughter of ---.  "Sancius rex" granted the villa of Ezquíroz to "ancilla mea domina Eximina [et] filio meo Raymonde quem habui en te" by charter dated 18 Jul 1071[443]King Sancho IV [had five illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:] 

a)         [GARCÍA (-after 1 May 1092).  “...Garsea et alter Garsea germani filii Sancii regis Nagerensis, Fredinandus et Reimundus, Antolino Nunniz...” witnessed the charter dated 1 May 1092 under which Alfonso VI King of Castile confirmed the prohibition of the entry of women into Valvanera[444].  It is supposed that “Sancii regis Nagerensis” refers to Sancho IV King of Navarre.  Nájera (the usual indication of “Nagerensis”) had been one of the territories under Navarrese control.  No other document has been identified around the time which refers specifically to a “king” of Najera.  It is possible either that the term was used in this charter to avoid a reference to Navarre, which could have been politically inconvenient considering the change of regime following the death of King Sancho IV, or that it represents a mistranscription.  If this hypothesis is correct, King Sancho´s sons sought refuge in Castile.  It is unusual, but not exceptional, that two brothers bore the same name.  However, the practice is sometimes an indication that the two did not share the same mother, or that one was legitimate and the other illegitimate.  No indication has been found about the identity of the mother of the two sons named García.  The absence in the records of an indication that any of King Sancho´s sons claimed the throne after his death suggests that all his sons may have been illegitimate.] 

b)         [GARCÍA (-after 1 May 1092).  “...Garsea et alter Garsea germani filii Sancii regis Nagerensis, Fredinandus et Reimundus, Antolino Nunniz...” witnessed the charter dated 1 May 1092 under which Alfonso VI King of Castile confirmed the prohibition of the entry of women into Valvanera[445].  As explained above, it is possible that “Sancii regis Nagerensis” refers to Sancho IV King of Navarre.  It is unusual, but not exceptional, that two brothers bore the same name.  However, the practice is sometimes an indication that the two did not share the same mother, or that one was legitimate and the other illegitimate.  No indication has been found about the identity of the mother of the two sons named García.  The absence in the records of an indication that any of King Sancho´s sons claimed the throne after his death suggests that all his sons may have been illegitimate.] 

c)          [FERNANDO (-after 1 May 1092).  “...Garsea et alter Garsea germani filii Sancii regis Nagerensis, Fredinandus et Reimundus, Antolino Nunniz...” witnessed the charter dated 1 May 1092 under which Alfonso VI King of Castile confirmed the prohibition of the entry of women into Valvanera[446].  As explained above, it is possible that “Sancii regis Nagerensis” refers to Sancho IV King of Navarre.  There is no indication in the charter of the parentage of “Fredinandus et Reimundus”.  The linking of the two names suggests that they were related, maybe brothers.  The fact that the names follow the references to the brothers named García, without a further added patronymic, may indicate that they were also sons of King Sancho.]

d)         [RAMÓN (-after 1 May 1092).  “...Garsea et alter Garsea germani filii Sancii regis Nagerensis, Fredinandus et Reimundus, Antolino Nunniz...” witnessed the charter dated 1 May 1092 under which Alfonso VI King of Castile confirmed the prohibition of the entry of women into Valvanera[447].  As explained above, it is possible that “Sancii regis Nagerensis” refers to Sancho IV King of Navarre.  There is no indication in the charter of the parentage of “Fredinandus et Reimundus”.  The linking of the two names suggests that they were related, maybe brothers.  The fact that the names follow the references to the brothers named García, without a further added patronymic, may indicate that they were also sons of King Sancho.]

5.         FERNANDO de Navarra (-[1068][488]).  "Sancius rex…cum matre mea Stefania regina" returned property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, donated by "senior Azenari Sanchiz" and usurped by his father, by charter dated 11 Mar 1055, confirmed by "Ranimirus et Fredinandus et Remondus germanos regis…"[489].  Gomesano Bishop of Calahorra granted property to "senior Eximino Furtuniones et senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 19 Mar 1058, confirmed by "Ranimirus infans, Fredinandus infans, Reimundus infans…"[490].  Señor de Bucesta, Jubera, Lagunilla y Oprela.  The testament of “Stephania” is dated to [1066] names “domini mei Garsie regis” and bequeathes properties to “meo filio Sancio rex…domno Ranimiro meo filio…domno Fredenando meo filio…domno Regumendo meo filio…[491].  [m NUÑA Iñíguez, daughter of ÍÑIGO López Conde y Señor de Vizcaya & his wife Toda Fortúnez.  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  According to Llorente, her parentage and marriage are without foundation in contemporary sources[492].  The mid-14th Century Nobiliario of Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós names “doña Munega Iñiguez” as the only daughter of “Iñiguez Guerra señor de Vizcaya” and her marriage to “don Hernando, hijo del rey de Navarra, hijo bastardo[493].  The chronology of this part of the Nobiliario means that this “Hernando” could not have been the son of King García V.  The account is evidently confused and if this is the only source which confirms the parentatge and marriage of Nuña Iñíguez, it should be dismissed.] 

6.         RAMÓN de Navarra (-after 1079).  “Garsias…rex…cum coniuge mea Stephania regina” granted rights to Santa María de Nájera by charter dated 18 Apr [1052], confirmed by “Dominus Sancius filius meus, Infans Ranimirus filius meus, Infans Raimundus filius meus, Infans Ermesinda filia mea[494].  "Sancius rex…cum matre mea Stefania regina" returned property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, donated by "senior Azenari Sanchiz" and usurped by his father, by charter dated 11 Mar 1055, confirmed by "Ranimirus et Fredinandus et Remondus germanos regis…"[495].  Gomesano Bishop of Calahorra granted property to "senior Eximino Furtuniones et senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 19 Mar 1058, confirmed by "Ranimirus infans, Fredinandus infans, Reimundus infans…"[496].  "Sancius rex" confirmed the donation by "Fortunius presbiter de Resa" to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1065, confirmed by "Regimundus frater meus, Eximina et Ermisinda germanas…"[497].  The testament of “Stephania” is dated to [1066] names “domini mei Garsie regis” and bequeathes properties to “meo filio Sancio rex…domno Ranimiro meo filio…domno Fredenando meo filio…domno Regumendo meo filio…[498].  "Sancius rex…cum uxore mee Placentie regine" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 25 Feb 1070, confirmed by "Raimundus frater meus, Armesilda et dompna Maior germanas regis…"[499].  "Sancius…rex" confirmed property rights of "domno Garcia" by charter dated 17 Jan 1071, confirmed by "domnus Reimundus frater regis, domna Ermesenda soror regis…"[500].  "Sancius rex…et uxore mee Placencia regine" granted property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 20 Nov 1071, confirmed by "Regimundus frater meus, Eximina et Ermesilda et domna Maior germanas meas…"[501].  “…Infant don Remond in Cambero…” confirmed a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 7 Dec 1071[502].  “…Infans Raimundo in ambos Camberosi…” is named in the dating clause of a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 17 Apr 1072[503].  "Sancius…rex" donated property to the prior of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 1073, confirmed by "…infans Reimundus et soror eius domna Ermesenda…"[504].  "Sancius…rex" donated property to the monastery of Valbanera by charter dated 1074, witnessed by "Infans Raimundus frater regis, Ermisenda soror regis…"[505].  "Sancius rex…cum coniux mea Placentia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "…infans Raimundus, illius soror domna Ermisenda…"[506].  "Sancius…Nagelensis rex" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "Remundus frater regis, Ermesinda soror regis, Eximina soror eorum…"[507].  The manuscript of the Codex de Roda entitled "Initium regnum Pampilonam" records that "Sancius rex" was killed in 1076 "in Penalene a fraude de frater eius Regimundus"[508].  Señor de Murillo y Cameros.  The charter dated 1079 under which “Mancia Fortunionis” donated property to the monastery of Leire records that “frater suus Regimundus et soror Ermisenda” had killed “rege domno Santio, prole Garssie regis[509].  He fled into exile at Zaragoza.  "Infante Ranimirus" donated property to San Martín by charter dated 1079, witnessed by "germana mea Ermesinda et sennor Enneco Azenariz"[510]

7.         JIMENA de Navarra (-after 27 May [1085]).  "Sancius rex" confirmed the donation by "Fortunius presbiter de Resa" to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1065, confirmed by "Regimundus frater meus, Eximina et Ermisinda germanas…"[511].  The testament of “Stephania” is dated to [1066] names “domini mei Garsie regis” and bequeathes properties to (in order) “…filia mea Urraka…filia mea Ermesinda…filia mea Eximina…filia mea Maiore”, specifying that Jimena´s inheritance was “Corcuetos et Fornos et Daroka[512].  "Sancius…Nagelensis rex" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "Remundus frater regis, Ermesinda soror regis, Eximina soror eorum…"[513].  "Scenna [Scemena] soror eiusdem" confirmed a charter of "Aldefonsus imperator totius Hispanie" dated 3 Sep 1079 named in the text immediately after "Ranemirus Garsie regis filius, Ermensinda G[arsie] regis filia"[514].  “Garseanus comes, Urraka soror illius, Semena soror eius…” confirmed the charter dated 27 May [1085] by which “Renemirus infans, prolis Garseani principis” donated property to Santa María de Nájera[515]

8.         MAYOR de Navarra (-after 1115).  "Sancius rex" granted property to "senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 7 Dec 1057, confirmed by "…infante domna Maiore…"[516].  The testament of “Stephania” is dated to [1066] names “domini mei Garsie regis” and bequeathes properties to (in order) “…filia mea Urraka…filia mea Ermesinda…filia mea Eximina…filia mea Maiore”, specifying that Mayor´s inheritance was “Iangua, Ataio, Villiela[517].  "Sancius rex…cum uxore mee Placentie regine" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 25 Feb 1070, confirmed by "Raimundus frater meus, Armesilda et dompna Maior germanas regis…"[518].  "Sancius rex…et uxore mee Placencia regine" granted property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 20 Nov 1071, confirmed by "Regimundus frater meus, Eximina et Ermesilda et domna Maior germanas meas…"[519].  “Maior, Garsiæ regis filia” donated property to Santa María de Nájera by charter dated 14 May 1077[520].  [Note: According to Europäische Stammtafeln[521], the wife of Guy [II] Comte de Mâcon was Mayor, daughter of García VI King of Navarre.  The source on which this is based is not known, although it is true that her name suggests a Spanish connection.  However, the charters dated 25 Feb 1070 and 20 Nov 1071 appear to disprove the hypothesis, as Comte Guy [II] and his wife were married before that date, as shown by the charter dated [1067] of "Guido comes", by which he donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, which was subscribed by "Maitris comitisse"[522].  "Guido comes" also supported a donation to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [1077] subscribed by "Maioris comitisse"[523].  The close ties between Burgundy and Spain started during the reign of Fernando I King of Castile, who established an annual rent of 120 ounces of gold in favour of the abbey of Cluny some time after 1055[524].  It is therefore not impossible that the marriage of Comte Guy with a Spanish princess from another family was agreed to provide an early symbol of this cooperation.] 

9.         SANCHA de Navarra (-after [1063/65]).  "Domna Sancha" established the boundaries of San Martín de Cuevagallegos, with the consent of "Sancionis regis fratris mei", by charter dated to [1063/65][525].  As she is not named in any of her brother's own charters, it is possible that Sancha was illegitimate.  She is not named in the [1066] testament of Queen Estefanía, so if she was a legitimate daughter she must have died before that date. 

King García V had two illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:   

10.       MENCÍA García ([1020/30]-[1073]).  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1049] under which King García granted property in “Nalda, Leza y Jubera” to “seniori Fortun Ochoaz fideli meo” and to “filiis tuis atque filiabus quos genuit uxor tua ex te, dompna Mencia filia mea[526]Doña Mencia infanta, hija del rey don Garcia” donated “mis palacios…en la villa de Leza” to the monastery of San Prudencio by charter dated to [1057], witnessed by “todos mis hijos: don Aznar Fortunez, don Iñigo, don Sancho, don Lope, don Ximeno[527]m ([1035/40]) FORTÚN Ochoa, son of --- (-[1049/57]). 

11.       SANCHO García ([1030/35]-after 29 Nov 1074)"Sancius rex" granted property to "senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 7 Dec 1057, confirmed by "…Infante domno Santio et uxor eius domna Contanza…"[528].  Señor de Uncastillo y Sangüesa.  Salazar y Acha discusses his marriage[529]The Crónica Najerense records that “infans domnus Sancius, quem rex Garsias Pampilonensium ex concubina habuerat” abducted “filiam regine Stephanie”, who was betrothed to “Santius rex”, and took her to the court of the Moorish king of Zaragoza and later to Ramiro I King of Aragon, triggering the war between Castille and Aragon during the course of which the Aragonese king was killed in 1064[530]Sancho IV King of Navarre granted “unas casas en la ciudad de Calahorra” to “germano meo domno Sancio et uxori vestra vel germana mea domna Constanza” by charter dated 29 Nov 1074[531]m (before 7 Dec 1057) CONSTANZA, daughter of --- & his wife [Etiennette] [de Foix] (-after 29 Nov 1074).  "Sancius rex" granted property to "senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 7 Dec 1057, confirmed by "…Infante domno Santio et uxor eius domna Contanza…"[532].  Sancho IV King of Navarre granted “unas casas en la ciudad de Calahorra” to “germano meo domno Sancio et uxori vestra vel germana mea domna Constanza” by charter dated 29 Nov 1074[533]Salazar y Acha hypothesises that Constanza was the daughter of Stephanie de Foix, wife of García V King of Navarre, by an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage with a noble at the court of Barcelona, suggesting that it would be unusual for King Sancho to refer to his brother´s wife as “germana” unless there was also a blood relationship between them[534]However, this hypothesis, although appealing, appears unlikely to be correct because Queen Estefania does not include Constanza in her testament dated to [1066] which names all her other known children[535].  Sancho & his wife had two children:

a)         ESTEFANÍA Sánchez (-after 19 Apr 1129)The carta de arras of “Froila prole de Diego” to “Estefanía hija de Sancho” is dated 11 Sep 1087, confirmed by “comes Fredenando Didaz[536].  Estefanía´s royal ancestry is referred to in the charter dated 1 Mar 1112 under which “commes Henricus” (conde de Portugal) granted property to “commes Froila et uxori vestre Stephania, commitissa, ex regali sanguine et prosapie horta[537].  Her connection with Sancho García, illegitimate son of García IV King of Navarre, is suggested by the charter dated to [1110/15] which refers to the donation of land “en Puente de la Reina” which previously belonged to “comes don Fruila et uxor eius domna Stephania et infans Ranimirus” to Pamplona Cathedral[538], “infans Ranimirus” in this document being identified by Canal Sánchez-Pagín (it would appear correctly) as the son of Sancho García[539].  The only element of doubt is the fact that Ramiro is called “infans” even though he was not the son of the monarch, although it should be noted that Ramiro Sánchez is given this title in both the “Corónicas” Navarras and the Crónica latina de los reyes de Castilla (see below).  Estefanía made a purchase of property at Corniero without her husband in 1121, presumably a widow[540].  She granted a fuero to the community of Villarmildo 19 Apr 1129[541].  m (before 11 Sep 1087) FRUELA Díaz, son of DIEGO Pérez & his wife María Froilaz (-19 Feb [1119/21]).  Mayordomo of Alfonso VI King of Castile 1 May 1106[542]

b)         RAMIRO Sánchez (-1116)The Crónica Latina names “infante Ramiro, que fue hijo del infante Sancho de cierta dueña, hijo del rey García” as father of King García[543]Ramiro is one of the few examples of an individual, not the son of a king, who was described with the title “infante”.  Señor de Monzón.  The testament of "Ramiro Sánchez rey de Navarra, yerno de Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar el Cid" is dated 1110[544].  m (after 1098) ELVIRA [Cristina] Rodríguez, daughter of RODRIGO Díaz de Vivar "El Cid Campeador" & his wife Jimena Díaz.  The "Corónicas" Navarras name "dona Cristiana…dona Maria" as the two daughters of "este meo Çid" and his wife, stating that Cristina married "l'ifant don Romiro"[545].  Her origin is also suggested by the Crónica de San Juan de la Peña which states that "el infant Don Garcia fillo de Don Ramiro…" was "sobrino del Cit Ruidiaz"[546].  Ramiro & his wife had three children: 

i)          GARCÍA Ramírez ([1105]-Lorca, Navarra 25 Nov 1150, bur Pamplona, Cathedral Santa María).  The "Corónicas" Navarras name "al rey don García de Navarra, que dixieron Garçía Remíriz" as the son of "l'ifant don Romiro" and his wife[547].  The Crónica Latina names “el rey de Navarra [García] Ramírez, hijo del infante Ramiro, que fue hijo del infante Sancho de cierta dueña, hijo del rey García” and adds that it was said that he was the vassal of king of Castile alter he suceded to the throne[548].  Infante de Navarra.  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña records that "el infant Don Garcia fillo de Don Ramiro, fillo de Don Sancho, rey de Nauarra que fué, el que mató su hermano Remon" (which confuses García Ramírez's paternal grandfather with the latter's legitimate half-brother) was proposed as king of Navarre in particular by "Don Sancho de la Rosa, vispo de Pamplona, et de Ladron fillo de Ennego Veliz, et de Guillem Aznariz Doteiça, et de Exemen Aznarez de Torres"[549].  He succeeded in 1134 as GARCÍA VI "el Restaurador" King of Navarre

ii)          ALFONSO Ramírez (-before 1164).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Señor de Castroviejo.  Maybe ancestor of the ZÚÑIGA family. 

iii)         ELVIRA Ramírez (-Jerusalem after 1163).  “...Domna Albira iermana regis...” confirmed the charter dated 1136 under which García Ramírez King of Navarre donated property to the Gran Priorato of Navarre[550]The primary source which confirms her two marriages has not yet been identified.  She and her husband donated property at Villaverde to the monks of Oña by charter dated 1137[551].  "Comes Rudericus filius Gomessani comitis…cum coniuge mea Eluira comitissa" donated Villaverde to the convent of Oña by charter dated 1146[552].  She made a benefaction to the monks of Oña 18 Feb 1161, shortly before setting out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem[553].  m firstly (after 1115) LADRÓN Vélaz Señor de Álava, son of VELA --- & his wife ---.  m secondly (before 1137) conde RODRIGO Gómez de Manzanedo, son of GÓMEZ González & his wife URRACA Múñoz (-1146)[554]

 

 

 

B.      KING of NAVARRE 1076 (KING of CASTILE)

 

 

1.         ALFONSO VI King of Castile, son of FERNANDO I "el Magno" King of Castile and León & his wife Sancha de León (Compostela [1038/40]-Toledo 1 Jul 1109, bur Sahagún, León, San Mancio chapel in the royal monastery of Santos Facundo y Primitivo).  The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names (in order) "Urraca, Sancho, Alfonso, García and Elvira" and the children of King Fernando and Queen Sancha[555].  Under the partition of lands in his father’s will, he received León and the parias from the Taifa state of Toledo, succeeding in 1065 as ALFONSO VI King of León.  He succeeded after the death of his brother in 1072 as ALFONSO VI King of Castile.  After the death in Jun 1076 of Sancho IV “él de Peñalén” King of Navarre, King Alfonso succeeded as King of Navarre: a charter dated 1076 records that Alfonso VI King of Castile ("Adefonsus filius Fredinandi regis") succeeded to the kingdom after "impiisima fraude interfecto rege Sancio, Garsie...regis filius"[556].  The precise circumstances under which the throne of Navarre passed to Sancho I King of Aragon have not been ascertained.  The earliest (apparently reliably dated) charter so far identified which names Sancho as king of Navarre is dated Mar 1077: the dating clause of a charter dated Mar 1077, under which King Sancho I granted “kasas de Lope filio de donna Pura” to “Banzo Ezones de Biele”, records “ego Sancio Ranimirez...rex in Pampilona et in Aragona et in Superabi sive in Ripacorza...regnante rex Adefonsu in Castella...[557].  Evidently some difference persisted between Aragon and Castile about the succession in Navarre as the dating clause of a charter dated 14 May 1081, under which "domna Onneca" sold "media vinea in plano de Leiva" to “domno Iohanne”, records “regnante Aldefonsus rex in Legione et in Castella et in Pampilona...[558]

RAMIRO Sánchez, illegitimate son of SANCHO III King of Navarre & his mistress Sancha de Aybar (-killed in battle Graus 8 May 1063).  He succeeded in 1035 as RAMIRO I King of Aragon.

1.         Infanta doña JUANA de Navarra ([1325/26]-Longchamps 3 Jul 1387, bur church of the monastery of Longchamps).  The children Juana and María are named (in that order) in a list of expenses dated 1330[675].  Given her mother’s date of birth, it is unlikely that Juana was born before 1325, which is also consistent with the abbey’s necrology entry quoted below.  Nun at monastery of St François at Longchamps, near Paris in May 1337.  The necrology of Longchamp records the death on 3 Jul of "seur Jehanne fille du roi de Navarre religieuse en cette eglise"[676].  A list of nuns at Longchamp in the abbey's necrology includes "madame seur Jehanne de Navarre, cousine germaine de madame seur Blanche de France…estoit fille du roy de Navarre, sa mère fille du roy de France", records that she was “environ XII ans” when she became a nun (“quant elle fut vestue”), lived as such for 50 years, and died 3 Jul 1387[677]

2.         Infanta doña MARÍA de Navarra ([1327/29]-Valencia 29 Apr 1347, bur Valencia, San Vicente, transferred to Nuestra Señora de Poblet)The children Juana and María are named (in that order) in a list of expenses dated 1330[678]A document dated 23 Jul 1338 at Alagón certifies that "Pedro…Rey de Aragon de Valencia de Cerdennya de Corcegua e comte de Barçalona" married "dona Maria filla del…princep e sennyor don Phelip…Rey de Navarra conte de Euroux de Engolesme de Morentayn e de Longauilla et de la…sennyora dona Johannya…Reyna del dicto Reyno"[679]m (contract 6 Jan 1337, Alagón 23 Jul 1338) as his first wife, PEDRO IV "el Ceremonioso" King of Aragon, son of ALFONSO IV King of Aragon & his first wife Teresa de Entenza Ctss de Urgel (Balaguer 5 Sep 1319-Barcelona 5 Jan 1387, bur Nuestra Señora de Poblet).  

3.         Infante don LUIS de Navarra (1330-).  A manuscript dated 1330 records the birth of “dni Ludovici domini regis primogeniti[680].  He presumably died before the birth of his younger brother who was given the same name. 

4.         Infanta doña BLANCA de Navarra ([1331]-Château de Neaufles-Saint-Martin, Eure 5 Oct 1398, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).  Her date of birth is estimated from (1) her absence from the source dated 1330 which names her two older sisters and (2) the likelihood that she was older than two years old at the time of her first betrothal, which if correct would place her birth before her brother Carlos was born.  The marriage contract of "Philippus…Navarræ rex…Blancham filiam" and "Dom. Humbertus Dalphinus Viennensis…Andream filium et natum primogenitum" is dated 19 Aug 1335[681].  The dates of documents which relate to Pedro de Castilla´s betrothal to Joan of England suggest that his betrothal to Blanca de Navarra may have been an alternative, probably short-lived, agreement presumably arranged at a time when relations with England were not proceeding well and that it was soon terminated.  The Grandes Chroniques de France record the second marriage 19 Jan 1350 ofle roy de France Phelippe” and “Blanche jadis fille de la royne de Navarre...[682].  The testament of Carlos II King of Navarre, dated 30 Nov 1376, divided his property between “...nos...sœurs la contesse de Foix et la vicontesse de Rohan...nostre...tante d’Orliens...nostre...seur la royne Blanche[683]The Chronique Rouennaise records the death “à Neaufle samedi v d’octobre” 1399 of “madame Blanche jadiz fame au roy Philippe de Vallois[684].  The necrology of Sainte-Chapelle records the death "III Non Oct" of "Blanche Francie regina regis Philippi de Valesio quondam consortis"[685]Betrothed (19 Aug 1335) to ANDRE de Viennois, son of HUMBERT [II] Dauphin de Viennois & his wife Marie de Baux (5 Sep 1333-Grenoble Oct 1335, bur Grenoble Dominican Church).  Betrothed (contract 1 Jul 1345, contract terminated before 1348) to Infante don PEDRO de Castilla y León, son of ALFONSO IX King of Castile & his second wife Infanta dona Maria de Portugal (Burgos 30 Aug 1334-murdered Montiel 22 Mar 1369, bur Seville Cathedral).  He succeeded his father in 1350 as PEDRO I "el Cruel" King of Castilem (Brie-Comte-Robert, Seine-et-Marne 11 Jan 1350) as his second wife, PHILIPPE VI King of France, son of CHARLES de France Comte de Valois & his first wife Marguerite of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] (1293-Abbaye de Coulombs, near Nogent-le-Roi, Eure-et-Loir 22 Aug 1350, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis). 

5.         Infante don CARLOS de Navarra (Château d'Evreux, Eure 17 May 1332-Pamplona 1 Jan 1387, bur Pamplona, Cathedral of Santa María la Real)He succeeded his mother in 1349 as CARLOS II "el Malo/le Mauvais" King of Navarre

6.         Infante don FELIPE de Navarra (-Vernon, Eure 29 Aug 1363, bur Notre Dame d'Evreux or Paris église des Cordeliers).  The order of birth of the brothers Felipe and Luis has not been confirmed.  Père Anselme records Felipe as the older of the two brothers[686].  Ayala´s Crónica de Pedro I records that “Don Carlos Rey de Navarra é el Infante Don Phelipe su hermano” visited Pedro I King of Castile “en Burgos” in 1351[687].  Comte de Longueville.  He took part in the defence of the county of Bar, which had been invaded by Lorraine, in October 1353.  He was imprisoned when he tried to govern the county, released in January 1356.  He supported his brother Carlos King of Navarre, imprisoned by Jean II King of France, and fought at Poitiers in Sep 1356 against France under the Black Prince.  His brother appointed him 15 Oct 1361 Lieutenant General of his territories in France.  The anonymous Chronique des quatre premiers Valois (dated to [1380/99]?[688]) records his campaigns in Normandy[689].  The Chronique des quatre premiers Valois records his illness and death at Vernon, and his burial “en la cité d’Evreux, en la mere eglise de Nostre Dame[690].  Père Anselme records Felipe’s death 29 Aug 1363 at Vernon and burial “dans l’église des Cordeliers de Paris[691].  The primary source which confirms his precise date of death has not been identified, nor has his correct place of burial been confirmed, or whether he was buried firstly at Evreux and later transferred to Paris.  m ([13 Jun/2 Jul] 1353) as her second husband, YOLANDE de Flandre, widow of HENRI IV Comte de Bar, daughter of ROBERT de Flandre Comte de Marle & his wife Jeanne de Bretagne (château d'Alluyes, Eure-et-Loir 2 Feb or 15 Sep 1326 or 1331-château de Nieppe dit de La Motte-au-Bois, Hazebrouck, Nord 12 Dec 1395, bur Bar-le-Duc, église collégiale Saint-Maxe).  Her second marriage is dated from contemporary documentation[692].  The necrology of Nogent-le-Rotrou records the death “IV Non Feb“ of "domine Yolendis de Flandria comitisse de Barro et domine de Nogento” and her bequest of “argenteam sancti Johannis Baptiste...[693].  [Mistress (1): ---.  Her possible existence is discussed below under Felipe’s son Lancelot.]  Mistress [(2)]: JEANNETTE d'Aisy [des Moustiers], daughter of [--- des Moustiers Seigneur d’Aisy & his wife ---] (-after 9 Dec 1368).  Her lover's brother, Louis Comte de Beaumont-le-Roger, made a gift in 1367 to her and her daughter (no source citation, but presumably this refers to the following grant)[694].  A grant was made 23 Jan 1366 (O.S.?) to “Jehannete d’Aisy, mère de Robinete, fille de feu Monseigneur Philippe...pour la garde et gouvernement de ladicte Robinete”, and others 5 Oct 1368 to “Jehannete d’Esy, mere de Robinete, fille de feu Monseigneur Philippe...pour e vivre de la dicte Robinete” and 9 Dec 1368 (this last grant recording “quittance de Jehan de Moustiers, seigneur d’Aisy, frere de la dicte Jehannete”)[695]The “des Moustiers” family in Normandy is discussed in an article in geneawiki.com, which mentions the “d’Aisy” branch without providing any details[696].  This supposed connection between Jeannette’s family and Normandy suggests that her relationship with Felipe de Navarra may have started during his campaign in Normandy, towards the end of his life.  Infante Felipe had one illegitimate child by [Mistress (1)] or Mistress [(2)]: 

a)         LANCELOT bâtard de Longueville (-after 1371).  Père Anselme records his parentage, without naming his mother, noting that Carlos II King of Navarre granted him an annual pension in 1371 “tant qu’il demeureroit en la compagnie du duc de Bretagne” (no source cited)[697]Van Kerrebrouck names his father’s mistress Jeannette d’Aisy as Lancelot’s mother (no source cited)[698].  None of the documents cited below name his mother.  Those documents suggest that he was of age at the time, whereas the documents naming his sister Robinette (with her mother, see above) all indicate that she was still a minor in the late 1360s.  While it is not possible to assess their precise age difference, the discrepancy suggests that they may not have shared the same mother.  This suggestion may also be supported if, as suggested above, Felipe’s relationship with Jeannette d’Aisy started while campaigning in Normandy.  Izarn records a payment “pour partie de la dépense de Lancelot, fils de monseigneur Philippe de Navarre” (undated, but presumably before the death of his father who is not “feu”, compared to the entries cited above under Jeannette d’Aisy)[699].  An order dated 5 Aug 1369 records a payment “pour un roncin acheté...pour bailler a Lancelot” (presumably relating to the son of the late Felipe, although this is not stated)[700].  An order dated 19 Aug 1369 records a payment to “Sanchelico, escuier de Lancelot, nepveu de Monseigneur[701]

Infante Felipe had one illegitimate child by Mistress [(2)]: 

b)         ROBINE [Robinette] bâtarde de Longueville (-after 9 Dec 1368).  Père Anselme records her parentage and names her mother (no source cited)[702]Her parentage is confirmed by the 23 Jan 1366 (O.S.?) and 9 Dec 1368 grants cited above under her mother Jeannette, which indicate that Robinette was still under age in late 1368.  No other indication has been found of her date of birth, although the supposed connection between her mother’s family and Normandy (see above) suggests that Robinette may have been towards the end of her father’s life.  If that is correct, she would still have been a young child in 1368.  This suggestion appears supported by the use of the diminutive for her name in the two grants. 

7.         Infante don LUIS de Navarra (-Apulia 1372, bur Naples)The order of birth of the brothers Felipe and Luis has not been confirmed.  Père Anselme records Luis as the younger of the two brothers[703].  His brother Carlos II King of Navarre named him Viceroy of Navarre in 1353, during the former's absence in France for his marriage.  Lieutenant of the King of Navarre 1356-1364.  Comte de Beaumont-le-Roger and Seigneur d'Anet 1365 by gift of his brother.  Accompanied to Naples by a considerable body of Navarrese troops on his second marriage, he planned to use this force to recapture Durazzo which was captured by the Albanians in 1368[704].  He died while making his preparations.  m firstly (secretly 1358, annulled) MARÍA de Lizarazu, daughter of ---. She was from Saint-Etienne de Baïgorry[705].  The marriage was annulled by Carlos II King of Navarre.  m secondly (contract Nov 1365, Naples 19 Jun 1366) as her first husband, his cousin JEANNE of Sicily Dss di Durazzo, daughter of CHARLES of Sicily Duca di Durazzo [Anjou-Capet] & his wife Marie of Sicily (1344-poisoned château d'Œuf, Naples 20 Jul 1387, bur Naples, church of San Lorenzo).  She married secondly ([1376]) Robert d'Artois.  Infante Luis & his first wife had [four] children:

b)         CARLOS de Beaumont "Charlot" ([1361]-[1432/33]).  According to Yanguas, "Carlos de Beaumont alferez de Navarra" was "hijo natural" of Luis and "María de Lizarazu"[707].  He succeeded his father in 1372 as Comte de Beaumont-le-Roger and Seigneur d'Anet. 

-        CONDES de LERÍN

c)         TRISTAN de Beaumont .  According to Yanguas, Tristan was "hijo natural" of Luis[708].  He studied at Sangüesa in 1376.  Canon at Pamplona 1379. 

d)         [ANDREA de Navarra .  Andrea de Navarra, his parentage and supposed descendants (until the late 16th century) are shown in the on-line "Libro d´Oro di Melita"[709].  This cites no primary sources, and no further information has been found on this possible line of descent.  He went to Sicily with Martín de Aragón, who became Martin I King of Sicily.] 

8.         Infanta doña INÉS de Navarra ([1337/42]-Estella castle Jan 1397 or [4 Feb 1396/1400])A charter dated 8 Feb 1347 records that Philippe VI King of France abandoned rights over the lands to be ceded to "Agnes, fille…de Phelippe jadis roy et de…Jehnne de France royne de Navarre" when she married "Gaston comte de Foix…[filz de] Alliénor de Cominges contesse de Foix"[710]The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records that "Mossen Gaston appelat Febus" married "Madona Agnes de Navarra"[711].  After being repudiated by her husband, on the excuse that her dowry had not been paid in full, she returned to Navarre and lived in the castles of Pamplona, Olite and Estella.  The testament of Carlos II King of Navarre, dated 30 Nov 1376, divided his property between “...nos...sœurs la contesse de Foix et la vicontesse de Rohan...nostre...tante d’Orliens...nostre...seur la royne Blanche[712]m (contract 5 Jul 1348, Paris, église du Temple 4 Aug 1349, repudiated Dec 1362) GASTON III "Fébus" Comte de Foix, de Bigorre et de Béarn, son of GASTON II "le Preux" Comte de Foix & his wife Eléonore Ctss de Comminges (30 Apr 1331-1 Aug 1391)

3.         Infante don FELIPE de Navarra (Pamplona [1364]-young accidentally).  Père Anselme records that Felipe died “en bas âge par la faute de sa nourrice, qui le laissa tomber d’une fenêtre[724]

4.         Infante don PEDRO de Navarra (Evreux 31 Mar 1366-Nevers, Nièvre 29 Jul 1412, bur Paris, Abbaye Saint-Antoine, later transferred to église des Chartreux in Paris).  The testament of Carlos II King of Navarre, dated 30 Nov 1376, divided his property between “...Pierres nostre fils...la conté de Mortaign...les chasteauls...de Nogent le Roy et d’Anet...[725].  Comte de Mortain in May 1408, by award of the King of France.  He was Lieutenant of his brother for his territories in France.  The necrology of Vauvert records the death "IV Kal Aug" of "dominus Petrus de Navarra domini Karoli quondam regis Navarre filius et comes de Mortaing"[726]m (contract château d'Alençon, Orne 21 Apr 1411, château d'Alençon Aug 1411) as her first husband, CATHERINE d'Alençon, daughter of PIERRE II Comte d'Alençon & his wife Marie Chamaillart (Verneuil-sur-Avre, Eure [1380]-Paris, Hôtel d’Auxerre 22 or 25 Jun 1462, bur Paris, Abbaye Sainte-Geneviève).  Père Anselme notes the marriage contract for Catherine’s first marriage dated 21 Apr 1411 but provides no citation reference for the document[727]She married secondly (Paris, Hôtel Saint-Pol 1 Oct 1413) as his second wife, Ludwig VII Duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt.  The necrology of Vauvert records the death "VII Kal Jul" of "domine Katherina de Alençonio ducissa in Bavaria filia ducis Alençonii quondam uxor…principis domini Petri de Navarra"[728]Père Anselme records her death 22 Jun 1462 at the Hôtel d’Auxerre in Paris and her burial and epitaph at the abbey of Sainte Geneviève[729][Mistress (1): --- Pérez, daughter of PEDRO Martínez de Peralta & his wife ---.  No primary source has been identified in which she is named.  It is not known whether her name and existence are merely speculative on the assumption that Pedro de Peralta was the son of Infante Pedro.]  Infante Pedro had [one illegitimate child by Mistress (1)]: 

a)         [PEDRO de Peralta (-[1442/50]).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Pedro Martínez de Peralta was the illegitimate son of Pedro de Navarra Comte de Mortain.  This is presumably based on Père Anselme who says, in relation to Infante Pedro, “on lui donne pour fils naturel Pierre de Navarre, dit de Peralta, connétable de Navarre, duquel sortent les marquis de Falcez[730].  The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified but the chronology for this parentage is tight given the birth of his illegitimate son before 1404.  Yanguas cites the testament of "el consejero del rey D. García Martínez de Peralta" dated 1371, which names "Mosen Pierres" as his son by "Doña Ana Sancha Ruiz de Azagra su mujer", and the testament of "Mosen Pierres" dated 1 May 1438, before "su hijo el obispo de Pamplona", which states the same information, although he highlights that there appear to have been several individuals named "Pedro de Peralta" at the same time[731].  The contemporary documentation nevertheless demonstrates close links between Pedro Martínez de Peralta and the Navarrese royal family: his illegitimate son is named in the same document dated 1404 as the king´s illegitimate son, and members of the royal family were godparents of two of his children.  Señor de Peralta y Andosilla.  Mosén.  Yanguas records that Queen Blanca, under her testament dated 17 Feb 1439, provided for the reversión of "la villa de Peralta y la Planicilla de Caparroso" to the crown if "Mosen Pierres de Peralta y Mosen Pierres el jóven su hijo" died without legitimate male heirs[732].]

Anthony states that her place of birth is confirmed by a (contemporary?) manuscript which records that En février 1426, Blanche, sa mère, était en effet à Olite[810]The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records that "Mossen Gaston fil de Mossen Johan et de Madona Johana de Labrit" married "Madona Leonor infanta de Navarra"[811]Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 22 Dec 1434 (no source cited)[812].  R. Anthony says that this date is incorrect, referring to a copy of the contract in the Archives des Basses-Pyrénées” [now Pyrénées-Atlantiques], and noting an undated copy in the “Archives de Navarre” which is marked on the reverse “22 septembre 1434 et, d’une écriture plus ancienne, Tarbes 8 août 1434” and is indexed under “Tarbes, 11 août 1434[813]R. Anthony notes mariage réalisé seulement en 1443”, recording that “Eléonore ne quitta la Navarre qu’en décembre 1442[814].  The date 1443 seems late, considering that Leonor was pregnant with her second child 12 Nov 1444 (see below).  R. Anthony cites Miret y Sans whose more specific text notes that Gaston de Foix visited Olite in Navarre twice in 1440, again in Feb 1442, and in Apr/May 1442 “para acordar el viaje de su esposa Leonor, que debía definitivamente abandonar la corte de Navarra para comenzar la vida marital”, but that Leonor “no salió de Navarra hasta Diciembre y el opispo de Pamplona la condujo á Ortez” (no sources cited, and no reference to a second marriage ceremony)[815].  In light of this narrative, it seems more likely that the marriage was consummated in early 1442 and that Leonor’s departure from Navarre was delayed by her first pregnancy.  Her father named her Lieutenant General of the Kingdom of Navarre 1464.  She succeeded her father 1479 as LEONOR I Queen of Navarre.  Zurita records her titles “Reyna de Navarra, y Infante de Aragon, y Sicilia, Duqsa de Nemours, Gandia, y Momblanc, y de Peñafiel, Condesa de Fox, y señora de Bearne, Condesa de Bigorra, y de Ribagorça, y señora de la Ciudad de Balaguer”, and notes that, finding her life in danger, she named “Don Frances Febus su nieto, hijo de Gaston de Fox Principe de Viana su hijo” as her heir, and under her testament dated 10 Feb 1379 ordered her burial “en un monasterio, que mandaua edificar cerca de la Villa de Tafalla de Santa Maria de la misericordia” (and ordered that the body of her mother, buried “en el monasterio de Santa Maria de Nieua”, be transferred there) and made bequests ”al Infante Don Iayme su hijo, porque no tenia Estado ninguno…[816].  Zurita records her death “dentro de dos dias” [after her testament][817]

m (contract [Tarbes 8 Aug 1434], [consummated early 1442?]) GASTON IV Comte de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomte de Béarn, son of JEAN III de Grailly Comte de Foix et de Bigorre Vicomte de Béarn & his second wife Jeanne d'Albret (26 Feb 1423-Roncevalles 25 Jul 1472). 

Gaston IV & his wife had ten children: 

1.         GASTON de Foix Infante de Navarra ([early-mid 1445 or later?]-Libourne, Gironde 23 Nov 1470, bur Bordeaux, Cathédrale Saint-André).  His parentage is confirmed by Zurita, cited below under his son.  R. Anthony notes that the first testament of Gaston IV, dated 12 Nov 1444, records that his wife was then pregnant, and identifies Gaston as the child in question[818].  This identification is not inevitable.  No evidence has been found that the Nov 1444 pregnancy came to term or, if so, that the child born survived infancy.  It is therefore possible that Gaston was born after a subsequent pregnancy.  Principe de Viana.  He died from injuries received during a tournament.  m (contract Tours 1458, contract Saint-Jean-d'Angély 11 Feb 1462, Charente-Maritime, Saint-Macaire, Gironde 7 Mar 1462) MADELEINE de France, daughter of CHARLES VII King of France & his wife Marie d'Anjou (Tours, Indre-et-Loire 1 Dec 1443-Pamplona [23/24] Jan 1495, bur Pamplona Cathedral).  Père Anselme records her date and place of birth, noting that “Simonne de Fontaine qui avoit été sa nourrice toucha 40.l. par manière de pension le 16. décemb. 1458” (no citation reference, not known whether this record also confirms her date and place of birth)[819]Van Kerrebrouck records the dates for the couple’s marriage contracts and marriage shown above[820]The marriage contract between “Louis…Roy de France…nostre…sœur Magdelaine” and “nostre…Cousin le Comte de Foix…Gaston de Foix, Vicomte de Castelbon, son aisné Fils” is dated 11 Feb 1461[821]The testament of Francez Phebus…Rey de Navarre…”, dated 29 Jan 1482 (O.S.), made bequests to “Madame la Princesse sa May…[822]R.

CATALINA de Navarra, daughter of GASTON de Foix Infante de Navarra Principe de Viana & his wife Madeleine de France (1470-Mont-de-Marsan [12] Feb 1517, bur Lescar)Argaiz records her birth “l’année de la mort de son père[834]The testament of Francez Phebus…Rey de Navarre…”, dated 29 Jan 1482 (O.S.), made bequests to “…Madame Cathaline sa sor et hereter [listing all his territories of which she was heiress][835]La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records the succession of “sa seur Catherine” after her brother died[836].  She succeeded her brother in 1483 as CATALINA Queen of Navarre, Ctss de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomtesse de Béarn.  Her marriage contract at Orthez is dated 14 Jun 1484, R. Anthony noting that “A cause de l’âge des époux, le mariage ne fut effectif, semble-t-il, qu’en 1491[837]The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis records the marriage of “Catharina Fuxensis” and “principi Ioani Albreto albretensis domino filio” (undated)[838]Alam Señor de Labrit, Conde de Dreux, de Gaura, de Pontiebre y de Peyregorc, Vizconde de Limoges et de Tartas è Captal de Buch, è Señor de Danuenas en Henault…[et] Doña Madalena Princesa de Viana è los…Don Iuan, et Doña Catalina Rey e Reyna de Navarra sus hijos” renewed their alliance with “Los…Rey Don Fernando, è la Reyna Doña Isabel Rey y Reyna de Castilla y Aragon” by treaty dated 21 Mar 1488 (O.S.?)[839].  Catalina and her husband were crowned at Pamplona 10 Jan 1494[840].  An agreement dated 7 Sep 1497 settled the dispute between “Catherinam Reginam Navarræ ” and “Dominum Ioannem de Fuxo, Comitem de Stampis, et Vicecomitem de Narbona” concerning “Regno Navarræ, Patriæ Bearnii, Comitatibusque de Fuxo et Bigorræ…Vicecomitatibus de Nebozano, Marsano, Tursano, Gavardano[841]She was deposed in 1512 by Fernando II "el Católico" King of Aragon, who declared himself King of Navarre: Courteault summarises the events, the Aragonese invasion 21 Jul 1512 led by “le duc d’Albe”, Queen Catalina’s departure with her children, and King Juan’s flight 24 Jul 1512 from Pamplona to Sangüesa, and then to Lumbier, the events being recorded in more detail by Boissonnade[842].  The royal family settled in Béarn.  Courteault discusses Catalina’s possible date of death[843].  Her place of burial is confirmed by the testament of her daughter Ana/Anne. 

m (contract Orthez 14 Jul 1484, consummated 1491) JEAN d'Albret Vicomte de Tartas, son of ALAIN Seigneur d'Albret Comte de Gavre, de Périgord et de Castres & his wife Françoise de Blois dite de Bretagne Ctss de Périgord ([1477]-Esgoarrabaque, near Monein 17 Jun 1516, bur Lascar).  R. Anthony suggests his birth “en 1477”, noting his oath of allegiance 30 Oct 1491 “c’est-à-dire à quatorze ans, âge de majorité des princes[844]He succeeded in 1484 as JUAN (III) Joint King of Navarre, by right of his wife.  Notes “du Syndic Pierre de Tisnès” record his date and place of death, and his burial in “la glisie cathedral de Lascar” in the presence of his widow and “las tres filles, Anna, Cathalina et Quitheria[845]A 15th/16th century manuscript records the death 17 Jun 1516 of “Johannes rex Navarre, filius Alani, Domini de Lebreto” and his burial “in ecclesia cathedrali Lascurrensi[846]

King Juan & Queen Catalina had thirteen children: 

1.         Infanta doña ANA de Navarra, ANNE d'Albret (Pau 19 May 1492-Pau 1532, after 15 Aug, bur Lescar)Her acte de naissamce records her date of birth[847]The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis names (incorrect order) “Henricum…Franciscum, Annam, Quitheriam, Catharinam, Ysabellam” as the children of “Catharina Fuxensis” and her husband “principi Ioani Albreto albretensis domino filio[848]R. Anthony’s analysis of remains found among the burials in the royal crypt at Lescar (discovered 6 Apr 1929[849]) identified a set of deformed spinal bones (probably due to tuberculosis) as belonging to Ana, a physical deformity which appears confirmed by letters dated 27 Jan 1516 and 4 Nov 1516 regarding potential brides for Lorenzo [III] de’ Medici Governor of Florence, including the Navarrese princesses, the second letter noting (relating to Ana) “Faites bien attention qu’on ne parle pas de l’aînée de Navarre, bossue et faite comme elle est[850]The betrothal contract between “Jean et Chaterine, roy et royne de Navarre…Anne princesse de Navarre, fille aisnée” and “Jean de Foix comte d’Estampes, vicomte de Narbonne…Gaston de Foix fils aisné”, to be married “quand ladite madame Anne…fera d’aage d’estre mariée”, is dated 24 Apr 1497[851]Notes “du Syndic Pierre de Tisnès” record her father’s burial in “la glisie cathedral de Lascar” in the presence of his widow and “las tres filles, Anna, Cathalina et Quitheria[852]By document dated 7 Feb 1531 (O.S.), Anne revoked her betrothal contract with “le vicomte de Candale[853]: no indication has been found of the date of the betrothal.  Her testament, dated 15 Aug 1532, requested burial “en la glisie cathedrale de Lescar[854]Betrothed (contract 24 Apr 1497) to GASTON de Foix, son of JEAN de Foix Vicomte de Narbonne & his wife Marie d’Orléans (Mazères 10 Dec 1489-killed in battle Ravenna 11 Apr 1512, bur Milan Cathedral)Betrothed (contract ----, revoked 7 Feb 1531) to --- Vicomte de Candale, son of ---.  R. Anthony suggests that he was Frédéric de Foix, son of Gaston de Foix Comte de Candale & his wife Marthe d’Astarac (-Aug 1571), but concludes that “l’identification du vicomte de Candale, qui fut le fiancé d’Anne, reste une question à approfondir[855]

2.         Infanta doña MADALENA de Navarra d'Albret (Pamplona 29 Mar 1494-Medina del Campo May 1504).  R. Anthony states that her place and date of birth are confirmed by notes extracted from archive documents[856].  The “Capitulaciones con Aragón y Navarra”, dated 4 Mar 1495, record that the king and queen of Navarre agreed to deliver “la…infanta doña Magdalena, su fija” as a hostage for five years, to assure their compliance with obligations under the treaty, to the monarchs of Castile and Aragon[857].  Argaiz records her place and date of death[858].  Garibay records the death “en la villa de Medina del Campo…por el mes de Mayo” 1504 of “la Infanta doña Madalena”, noting that “otras memorias” record his birth 26 Apr[859]

3.         Infanta doña CATALINA de Navarra d'Albret, CATHERINE d'Albret (Pamplona [early 1495]-Caen Nov 1532)The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis names (incorrect order) “Henricum…Franciscum, Annam, Quitheriam, Catharinam, Ysabellam” as the children of “Catharina Fuxensis” and her husband “principi Ioani Albreto albretensis domino filio[860]Her date of birth is indicated by a letter dated 27 Jan 1516 from F. Vettori to Lorenzo de’ Medici, regarding the latter’s potential brides, which records that “Il Re di Navarra ha tre figlie, e la maggiore ha anni venti, l’altra diciassette in circa…[861]: R. Anthony identifies “la maggiore” as Catalina (indicating that the letter omits Ana, the oldest daughter, as discussed above under Ana), and therefore estimating her birth “au début de 1495” (bearing in mind the attested birth dates of her siblings)[862]Notes “du Syndic Pierre de Tisnès” record her father’s burial in “la glisie cathedral de Lascar” in the presence of his widow and “las tres filles, Anna, Cathalina et Quitheria[863]R. Anthony records the betrothal contract between Catalina and “[le] duc Ernest de Brunswick et de Lunebourg” is dated “19 --- 1520”, the month missing[864].  Boissonade records that the king of France “promettait d’unir Catherine, sœur du prince d’Albret, avec le duc Henri [mistake for “Ernest”, whose father Duke Heinrich was already married at the time] de Brunswick” and attributed dowry to the princess, citing “ratification du contrat de mariage de Catherine de Navarre par Henri d’Albret (lettres patentes en latin), 5 [corrected by R. Anthony to 7[865]] mars 1520-1521[866].  No record has been found of the termination of the betrothal contract.  By charter dated 1 Aug 1627, Catalina renounced her property in favour of “son frère Henri, roi de Navarre[867], entered Fontevraud as a nun 3 Aug 1527, and later transferred to Caen Holy Trinity where she became abbess [after 12 Jul 1531], and died Nov 1532[868]Betrothed (contract 19 --- 1520, ratified 7 Mar 1521, contract terminated ----) to ERNST "der Bekenner" joint Herzog von Braunschweig in Lüneburg, son of HEINRICH "der Mittlere" Herzog von Braunschweig in Lüneburg & his first wife Margareta von Sachsen (Ulzen 15 Jun 1497-Celle 11 Jan 1546, bur Celle Marktkirche). 

4.         Infante don JUAN de Navarra d'Albret (Pamplona [Mar/Jul] 1496-Pamplona [Jul/Nov] 1496, bur [Pamplona Cathedral Santa María]).  In 1486, a herald arriving at Pau announced the birth of an unnamed son to the Navarre monarchs[869].  His name is confirmed as Juan in another manuscript[870].  His death is recorded at Pamplona in 1496 “âgé de cinq mois environ[871], while Boissonade records that, during the temporary absence of his parents at Tarbes “au mois d’août ou de septembre 1496”, they left “leur fils, le prince de Viane, à Pampelune, cèst-à-dire comme otage à portée des garnisons castillanes[872].  If these reports are all accurate, Juan was born [Mar/Jul] and died [Jul/Nov] in 1496.  R. Anthony suggests his place of burial (no source cited, but presumably based on his place of death)[873]

5.         Infanta doña QUITERÍA de Navarra d'Albret, QUITERIE d'Albret ([1499]-Montvilliers [13 Sep/30 Oct] 1536, bur Montivilliers).  Her date of birth is indicated by a letter dated 27 Jan 1516 from F. Vettori to Lorenzo de’ Medici, regarding the latter’s potential brides, which records that “Il Re di Navarra ha tre figlie, e la maggiore ha anni venti, l’altra diciassette in circa…[874]: R. Anthony identifies “l’altra” as Quitería (indicating that the letter omits Ana, the oldest daughter), and therefore estimating her birth “en 1499” (bearing in mind the attested birth dates of her siblings)[875]The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis names (incorrect order) “Henricum…Franciscum, Annam, Quitheriam, Catharinam, Ysabellam” as the children of “Catharina Fuxensis” and her husband “principi Ioani Albreto albretensis domino filio[876].  Notes “du Syndic Pierre de Tisnès” record her father’s burial in “la glisie cathedral de Lascar” in the presence of his widow and “las tres filles, Anna, Cathalina et Quitheria[877]R. Anthony records that she became a nun at la Madeleine d’Orléans, was appointed abbess of Montivilliers in 1528 (assuming the post in 1530),  and died and was buried as shown above[878]

6.         son (b and d [May/Jul?] 1500).  Boissonade records that the queen of Navarre was pregnant in Apr 1500 and unable to travel with her husband, that the child was not born when the Treaty of Seville was signed 14 May 1500 as it anticipated “S’il naissait aux rois de Navarre un fils…”, and that a later source recorded the parents’ loss of three sons, all three “princes de Viane”, before the birth of their son Enrique[879].  This unnamed son was presumably therefore born in early summer 1500 and died soon afterwards. 

7.         Infante don ANDRÉS FEBO de Navarra d'Albret (Pamplona 14 Oct 1501-Sangüesa 17 Apr 1503, bur Leyre/Leire San Salvador).  His place and dates of birth and death, and place of burial are recorded in different manuscript sources[880].  Garibay records the birth 14 Oct in Pamplona of “un hijo…don Andres Phebo, que siendo Principe de Viana, falleció niño” and his death 17 Apr 1503 “siendo de edad de solo un año, y seys meses y tres dias…en la villa de Sanguessa” and his burial “en el Real Monsterio de San Salvador de Leyre[881].  R. Anthony records that a 17th century wooden sarcophagus, in the Pamplona Archives, contained the remains of the princes of Navarre who had been buried at Leyre monastery, two of the names inscribed on the outside being “[les] princes André et Martin Phœbus[882]

8.         Infante don ENRIQUE de Navarra d'Albret (Sangüesa 25/26 Apr 1503-Hagetmau en Béarn, Landes 29 May 1555, bur Lescar Cathedral)Garibay records the birth 25 Apr 1503 “en la villa de Sanguessa” of “un hijo…don Henrique”, noting that “otras memorias” record his birth 26 Apr[883]The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis names (incorrect order) “Henricum…Franciscum, Annam, Quitheriam, Catharinam, Ysabellam” as the children of “Catharina Fuxensis” and her husband “principi Ioani Albreto albretensis domino filio[884]He succeeded his mother in 1517 as ENRIQUE (II) titular King of Navarre, Comte de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomte de Béarn et de Marsan, Duc de Nemours et de Montblanc.  He reconquered most of Navarre in 1520, but lost it soon after.  m (contract 3 Jan 1527, Saint-Germain-en-Laye 24 Jan 1527) as her second husband, MARGUERITE d'Orléans Dss de Berry, widow of CHARLES IV Duc d'Alençon, daughter of CHARLES d'Orléans Comte d'Angoulême et de Périgord & his wife Louise de Savoie (Château d'Angoulême, Charente 11 Apr 1492-Château d'Odos en Bigorre, near Tarbes 21 Dec 1549, bur Lescar).  Follow her hyperlink for sources recording her birth and first marriage.  The marriage contract between “Henry…roy de Navarre…” and “madame Marguerite de France, seur unique du Roy, duchesse d’Alençon et de Berry…” is dated 3 Jan 1526 (O.S.)[885].  She was the author of several surviving literary works[886]Mistress (1): MARIANNE Alespée, daughter of ---.  King Enrique & his wife had two children:
