INTRODUCTION

 

 

The medieval señorío of Vizcaya corresponded approximately with the present-day Spanish province of the same name, one of the three provinces which comprise the Basque Autonomous Region.  According to Llorente[1], the first señores de Vizcaya were (in order): Lope “Zuria” [=el Blanco] (end-9th century), his son Munio López (also called Manso, early 10th century), his son Lope Muñoz (named in 939, and present with Fernando González Conde de Castilla at the battle of Hacinas), his son Munio López (whom he identifies as the husband of Velasquita de Navarra, end 10th century), his son Lope Muñoz (no references, his name reconstituted from patronymics), and the latter´s son Íñigo López “Ezquerra” (whom he identifies as Íñigo López who died in [1077], see below).  Llorente does not cite the primary sources which confirm the existence of these individuals and the relationships between them which he proposes.  His hypothesis appears based on the assumption that the señorío de Vizcaya was hereditary within the same family during the 9th to 11th centuries, but this seems far from certain if it can be compared with the other señoríos in the kingdom of Navarre during the same period.  In any case, it seems unlikely that the same family would have held power in Vizcaya throughout this period given the changes in suzerainty which the territory experienced, as discussed further below.  Llorente also catalogues various later works which trace the supposed origin of Lope “Zuria”[2]Amongst these, the mid-14th century Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos states that "un…hermano del Rey de Inglaterra, expulso de allá…From" arrived in Vizcaya with "Fortun Froes su hijo" who was installed as señor by "en Asturias el Conde D. Moniño", to whom tribute of "una vaca, un buey i un cavallo blancos" had been paid by Vizcaya annually, payment of which was henceforth refused by "From"[3].  Lope García de Salazar, writing his Crónica de Vizcaya in 1454, recorded that “Jaun Zuria” (=el señor blanco) was the first señor de Vizcaya and that he was conceived in Scotland by the king´s daughter who had been exiled there by her father and born in Mundaca or, alternatively, that his mother was the sister of the Scottish king who settled in Mundaca, his father being named Munio[4].  It is assumed that all these individuals, cited only in these later sources, were fictitious. 

 

Llorente states that the first of his named rulers in Vizcaya, Lope Zuria, was the vassal of Alfonso III King of León and that the suzerain of his supposed son and successor Munio López was Fernando González Conde de Castilla[5].  Vizcaya was eventually consolidated with the kingdom of Navarre in the 1030s after Sancho III King of Navarre assumed control over Castile and large parts of León. 

 

Only two references have so far been identified, in the primary sources which have been consulted, which link named individuals to Vizcaya during the 9th to early 11th centuries.  The first is the Codex de Roda which names "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" when recording his marriage to Velasquita, daughter of Sancho I García King of Navarre[6].  This does not specify Munio´s patronymic, and other sources appear to indicate that it may have been Velaz not López as stated by Llorente.  In addition, “Munio Velaz” is recorded in the cartulario of Valpuesta as Conde de Álava not Vizcaya[7].  The second reference is the charter of Leire monastery dated 13 Aug 1043 which is subscribed by “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Bizcaia…[8].  He is also named later in the cartularies of Leire and Santa María la Real de Nájera (see below).  The dating of these first two references show that it is improbable, as suggested by Llorente, that Conde Munio who is named in the first entry was the grandfather of Íñigo who is named in the second.  In addition, a charter of Leire monastery dated 1042 is subscribed by “…Senior Lope Bellakiz et senior Galindo Bellakiz et senior Enneco Lopiz, confirmans…[9], the linking of the three names within the same phrase suggesting a family relationship between them.  The suggestion is that Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez, named in this charter, and not the son of a hypothetical “Lope Munioz”. 

 

By the last quarter of the 11th century, Vizcaya was once again under the control of Castile, as shown by the dating clause of the 1076 charter of Íñigo López which names "regnante rege Adefonso in omni Yspania", referring to Alfonso VI King of Castile.  It should, however, be recalled that this year marked the beginning of the eclipse of the kingdom of Navarre, after King Sancho V was murdered and replaced by the king of Aragon on the Navarrese throne.  It is possible therefore that the king of Castile stepped in to claim jurisdiction over Vizcaya, as the primary source documentation shows was the case with the previously Navarrese señorío of Nájera.  A charter dated 1091 confirms that Alfonso VI King of Castile was suzerain of Conde Lope Iñíguez, son of Conde Íñigo López, and accords him the title "Aldefonsus imperator tocius Castelle et Toleto necnon et Nazare seu Alave"[10]

 

Another question relates to the extent of the autonomy, and possible sovereign status, enjoyed by the señores de Vizcaya.  Íñigo López (who died in [1077]) is named "senior…de Bizcaya" in sources dated between 1043 and 1047.  Charters dated between 1064 and 1074 name him as señor de Nájera.  In 1076, he was named "Sennor Enneco Lopez…tocius Vizcahie comes".  His son Lope Iñíguez is named "dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcoa et Alava" in 1082 and "domno…in Alava in Bizcahia" in 1088.  Diego Iñíguez, son of Íñigo López, is named "dominante in Nagera et in Grannone" in 1110, and Diego´s son Lope Díaz (who died in 1170) is named "dominante Naieram" in a document dated 1162, but none of the documents so far found name either Diego or Lope in relation to Vizcaya.  No further references to "dominante" have been found applied to their descendants.  In the mid-13th century, use of the term "señor de Vizcaya" is found more frequently in primary sources, although after that time the family is normally referred to in relation to the señorío de Haro, which must have been considered more important by contemporaries.  Throughout this time-frame, no reference has been found in any contemporary documentation to indicate that the señores de Vizcaya called themselves "señor soberano de Vizcaya", which is the term frequently found in modern works dealing with the family and which implies more independence of action than is reflected in the primary sources.  In fact, the titles attributed to the family are no different from those used by other powerful noble families in the kingdom of Castile and León, as can be seen in the document CASTILE & LEON NOBILITY (1).  The señorío of Vizcaya passed by marriage to the descendants of a younger son of Alfonso X King of Castile in [1290]. 

 

The family of the señores de Vizcaya is treated in detail by Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós, illegitimate son of Diniz King of Portugal, in his Nobiliario, written in the mid-14th century, although the details of the early generations are suspect[11]

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    CONDES en ÁLAVA

 

 

The county of Álava was located west of the kingdom of Pamplona/Navarre and east of the county of Castile, stretching from the northern Spanish coast southwards inland to north of Logroño.  In the 9th/10th centuries, the county appears to have covered all the territory which today includes the provinces of Vizcaya and Álava in the Basque autonomous region of Spain, north of the area then controlled by the Banu Qasi (see the document MOORISH SPAIN). 

 

The area is referred to during Visigothic rule in the Iberian peninsular: the Iohannis Abbatis Biclarensis Chronica records that "Leovigildus rex" occupied "partem Vasconiæ" and founded “civitatem...Victoriacum” [Victoriaco], dated to [581][12].  Following the Muslim invasion of 711/12, the anonymous Akhbar al-Majmua (Collection of Anecdotes, translated into Spanish in the mid-19th century by Lafuente as "Ajbar Machmua" and dated by him to the 11th century, although dated to [940] by Chalmeta[13]) records that the invaders, led by "Okba ben Al-Hachaeh" [Uqba bin al-Hajaj al-Saluli, governor of Muslim Spain from [728]], conquered “Galicia, Álava y Pamplona” with the exception of “la sierra en la cual había refugiado con 300 hombres un rey llamado Belay [Pelayo]”[14].  Muslim domination appears to have been short-lived, as the Chronicle of Alfonso III records Álava among the territories settled (by the Asturians) during the reign of Alfonso I King of Asturias (739-[757])[15].  Relations between the kingdom of Asturias and the Basques to the east of Asturian territory remained tense, as the same source states that King Fruela I (son of Alfonso I) "overcame the rebellious Basques and took for himself a wife from their territory named Munia" (see below), presumably dated to the early 760s[16].  It is unclear whether the territory of “the...Basques” at that time included Álava.  The domination of Álava by the kingdom of Asturias ended some time in the first half of the 9th century, as the Chronicon de Sampiro records a count in Álava named Eilo, although only in the context of his capture by Alfonso III King of Asturias and transportation back to Oviedo in chains, dated to [866][17].   During the succeeding decades, Vela Jiménez is recorded as count in Álava in the Chronicon Albeldense, appointed by King Alfonso III and attacking the county of Castile on behalf of the Asturian king[18].  Munio Velaz Conde en Álava, presumed son of Vela Jiménez, is probably identifiable with “Munio Conde en Vizcaya” who married the daughter of Sancho I King of Navarre in 923, which (if this co-identity is correct) indicates that the county of Álava had by that time fallen under the jurisdiction of the Navarrese kingdom.  Munio died soon afterwards, and Álava is then recorded under Álvaro Herraméliz, who was also presumably appointed by the king of Navarre as he is recorded as marrying another daughter of King Sancho I.  Álvaro appears to have been unrelated to Vela Jiménez.  His descendants are later recorded in Galicia, which suggests that they were expelled from the kingdom of Navarre after their father died (probably in [931]) because of some unrecorded family transgression.  Álvaro´s widow married, as her third husband, Fernando González Conde de Castilla, who is recorded in mid-10th century charters as conde en Álava.  Lucas de Tuy (dated to [1236]) records that "in Castella et in Alaua adolescens...comes generosus...Vela" rebelled against Fernando González (so dated to some time in the mid-10th century) and sought refuge "ad Sarracenos" after he was expelled from the county[19].  This “comes...Vela” has not been identified in earlier primary sources, but his name suggests a family connection with Vela Jiménez.  After the late 10th century, the sources are insufficiently detailed to trace an unbroken succession of rulers in Álava, although several different families are recorded as holding señoríos over all or part of the territory, as shown below.  From the later 10th/11th centuries, jurisdiction over Álava appears to have fluctuated between the Navarrese kingdom and the county of Castile.  After the assassination of Sancho IV King of Navarre in 1076, Alfonso VI King of Castile & León invaded Navarre and annexed Álava, among other territories, to Castile. 

 

 

1.         OVECO --- ([715/25]-).  No record has been found which refers to Oveco in his personal capacity, except by way of the patronymic of his daughter.  His Basque origin is confirmed by the Chronicle of Alfonso III which states that [his son-in-law] Fruela "overcame the rebellious Basques and took for himself a wife from their territory named Munia"[20].  His name is confirmed by the Sebastiani Chronicon which records the burial of [his son-in-law and daughter] "Froila…cum uxore sua Munia Oveti"[21].  His birth date range is estimated very approximately from the likely birth date of his daughter Munia (see below).  m as her first husband, [de Asturias], daughter of [FRUELA] & his wife --- ([730/35]-).  She married secondly Lope ---.  Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by Ibn Hayyan who 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...” was killed[22].  This assumes that the phrase “el tío materno de Idfuns” applies to “Garsiya ibn Lubb” not to “Barmud”.  Martínez Díez assumes that “Barmud” was Vermudo I King of Asturias[23].  Her first marriage is confirmed by reading the same text of Ibn Hayyan together with the Sebastiani Chronicon which records the burial of [her daughter by her first marriage and her son-in-law] "Froila…cum uxore sua Munia Oveti" [therefore recording Munia´s patronymic)][24].  This assumes that “Idfuns” in Ibn Hayyan refers to Alfonso II King of Asturias.  It does not necessarily follow from this logic that this person was the daughter of Fruela, father of King Vermudo I: she could alternatively have been the daughter of Fruela´s wife by an earlier marriage.  If she was the daughter of Fruela, she must have been one of his older children, considerably older than King Vermudo.  The dates associated with her two children strongly suggest that Overo was her first husband and Lope her second.  Oveco & his wife had one child:

a)         MUNIA Ovéquiz ([745/50]-[768]).  The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that Fruela "overcame the rebellious Basques and took for himself a wife from their territory named Munia"[25].  Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her son, estimated to [765].  The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Froila…cum uxore sua Munia Oveti" were buried in 768[26].  Her geographical origin is confirmed more precisely by the Chronicle of Alfonso III which records that [her son] Alfonso, after he was displaced by Maugerato, fled to Álava where he was received by his mother's relatives[27]m FRUELA I King of Asturias, son of ALFONSO I King of Asturias & his wife Ermesinda de Asturias ([740]-murdered Cangas de Onís 768). 

 

 

1.         EILO (-after [866]).  Conde en ÁlavaThe Chronicon de Sampiro records that Alfonso III King of Asturias captured Álava and that “Eylonem…comes illorum” was taken to Oviedo in chains, dated to [866][28].  

 

 

1.         JIMENO --- ([800/30]-).  His birth date range is estimated assuming that his son was adult when first mentioned as conde.  No record has been found relating to Jimeno, other than as indicated by the patronymic of his son.  m ---.  The name of Jimeno´s wife is not known.  Jimeno & his wife had one child: 

a)         VELA Jiménez (-after [883]).  Conde en ÁlavaThe Chronicon Albeldense records that “Didacus filius Ruderici erat comes in Castella” during the reign of King Alfonso III, dated to 882, while “Vigila Scemeniz” was “comes in Alava” and attacked Castile and arrived at “castrum...Ponte curbem[29].  The same source records the defence of Álava against Muslim incursions (dated to [883]) and states “era conde de Alava Vela Ximenez” who ruled under Alfonso III King of Asturias[30]m ---.  The name of Vela's wife is not known.  Vela & his wife had [two] children: 

i)          [JIMENO Velaz (-after 6 Apr [959]).  Only the patronymic suggests that Jimeno Velaz may have been the son of Vela Jiménez.  Jimeno Velaz signed among the first subscribers of all the charters quoted below, indicating a position of seniority among the Navarrese nobility and therefore that he may have been the son of a conde.  The chronology, however, is not ideal.  If Vela Jiménez died soon after 882, it is not obvious that he would have had a son who is first named in charters in [952].  "…Eximinus Vigilanus…" subscribed a charter dated 5 Sep [952] for the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla[31].  "Garsea Sancionis cum matre mea Tota" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated Sep 957, confirmed by "…Eximinus Beile…"[32].  "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"[33].  "Garsea Sancionis rex…cum genitrice mea Tota regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 6 Apr [959], confirmed by "…Furtunius Garseanis, Eximinus Vigilanis, Lope Garseanis…"[34].] 

ii)         [MUNIO Velaz (-after 919)Conde en ÁlavaThe dating clause of a charter of the monastery of Valpuesta dated 18 May 919 names “comite Monnio Uigilazi in Alaba[35].  Salazar Acha suggests the Munio Velaz Conde de Álava may have been the brother of a hypothetical “Nuño Velaz” who, he suggests, was ancestor of the Vela family in the kingdom of León (see ASTURIAS, GALICIA, LEON NOBILITY), basing his suggestion on the assumption that Nuño´s supposed oldest son Vela Núñez was named after his paternal grandfather[36].  From a chronological point of view, this hypothesis does not appear consistent with the suggested co-identity of Munio Velaz Conde en Álava with Munio Conde de Vizcaya, shown below, as the known children of the latter would have been many years younger than their supposed cousins, the children of this hypothetical “Nuño Velaz”.  same person as…?  MUNIO (-before 931)Conde de Vizcaya: The Codex de Roda names "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" when recording his marriage[37].  The source, however, does not specify his patronymic.  It is therefore not certain that it refers to the same Conde Munio who was recorded earlier as conde de Álava.  However, the title conde was granted infrequently during this period and no reference has yet been found to another Conde Munio in the early 10th century.  Given that the title was granted on a personal basis without territorial qualification, it is not impossible that the same nobleman may have held land in both Álava and Vizcaya and therefore that he could be described as conde in both territories in different primary sources.  According to Llorente, Munio Conde de Vizcaya was the same person as Munio López[38].  However, in his commentary he states (without citing his primary source) that Munio López inherited the county of Vizcaya after his father was killed in battle, dating the event to 939.  Assuming that this date is correct, this co-identity does not appear possible in view of the second and third marriages of Munio’s wife Velasquita which are recorded in other sources.  m (after 923) as her first husband, VELASQUITA de Navarra, daughter of SANCHO I García King of Navarre & his second wife Toda Aznárez.  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"[39].  The patronymic of Velasquita´s first husband is not named in this source.  As noted above, it is not certain therefore that he was the same person as Munio Velaz.  She married secondly ([930]) Galindo de Ribagorza, and thirdly Fortún Galíndez Señor en Nájera.  Munio & his wife had four children: 

(1)       AZNAR Muñoz .  The Codex de Roda names "Azenari Momiz et Lupe Momiz hac Sanzio Momiz et domna Belasquita" as the children of "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" and his wife Velasquita[40].  He and his brothers are named with their mother (and her third husband) at Nájera shortly after 931[41], and are also referred to by Salazar Acha, who says that nothing is known about them[42]

(2)       LOPE Muñoz (-[1015]).  The Codex de Roda names "Azenari Momiz et Lupe Momiz hac Sanzio Momiz et domna Belasquita" as the children of "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" and his wife Velasquita[43]same person as…?  LOPE .  Llorente states that Lope Muñoz was señor de Vizcaya and the father of Íñigo López but cites no primary source in support[44].  This co-identity appears impossible, firstly because a source quoted below suggests that Íñigo López´s father was Lope Velásquez, and secondly because of chronological difficulties, as the death of Iñigo López can be fixed to [1077], far too late for him to have been the son of Lope Muñoz. 

(3)       SANCHO Muñoz .  The Codex de Roda names "Azenari Momiz et Lupe Momiz hac Sanzio Momiz et domna Belasquita" as the children of "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" and his wife Velasquita[45]

(4)       VELASQUITA Muñoz .  The Codex de Roda names "Azenari Momiz et Lupe Momiz hac Sanzio Momiz et domna Belasquita" as the children of "domni Momi comitis Bizcahiensis" and his wife Velasquita[46].

 

 

1.         HERRAMEL --- ([860/70]-).  The family of Herramel is described by Luis Fernández[47].  His birth date is estimated on the assumption that his son was adult when first mentioned.  m ---.  One child: 

a)         ÁLVARO Herraméliz (-after 11 Jan 931).  “…Alvari Ferraneliz…” witnessed the charter dated 21 Oct 923 under which Ordoño II King of León restored the monastery of Santa Coloma in Rioja[48].  He took part in the capture of Nájera and Viguera with Ordoño II King of León[49]Conde en Álava in [926][50].  The dating clause of a charter dated 11 Jan 931, under which the people of Viguera donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda, names "regnante…principe Semeno Garseanis in Pampilona, comes Alvaro Arramelliz in Alava"[51]m ([924]) as her second husband, SANCHA Sánchez de Navarra, widow of ORDOÑO II King of León, daughter of SANCHO I Garces King of Navarre & his second wife Toda Aznárez de Larraún (after 900-[9 Jun 952/26 Dec 955]).  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 Sancha married "Ordonii imperatoris, postea…Albaro Harramelliz de Alaba, demumque…Fredenando comitis"[52].  She continued to govern the condado of Álava after the death of her husband[53], but married thirdly ([932]) as his first wife, Fernando González Conde de Castilla.  Álvaro & [his wife] had [one child]: 

i)          [HERRAMEL Álvarez ([925/30]-after 24 Dec 988).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified, but the unusual combination of name and patronymic suggest that it is probably correct.  There is no indication of the identity of his mother: he may have been born from an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage of his father.  “Pelagius...episcopus [bishop of Iria]...et...Trastaloni conversa, et Fredenanda uxor...Garseani et Harramelle Aluariz...cum uxore et filiis meis, et Santia, Asiulfu Lucidi, Uelasco Ueligaz” donated “villa nostra propria et de Garsias Furtuniz...villa de Sancto Iuliano territorio Cauarcos” to Celanova by charter dated 17 Dec 978, confirmed by “Pelagius Yriense...episcopus, Honega prolis Lucidi, Trastaloni conuerse, Fredenanda uxor ipsius Garseani, Harramelle Aluariz...cum uxor et filiis meis, Santia, Asiulfu Lucidi, Uelasco Uelasquiz, Adaulfus abba, Litus abba, Sandino Muniz, Munniu Garsias[54].  Herramel´s family relationships with the other donors, all of whom held interests in the property donated jointly, have not been traced.  “...Harramel Aluariz...” subscribed the charter dated 1 Jan 986 under which Vermudo II King of León confirmed “mandationem in territorio Bubalo, Ablutinos cum Barra” to Celanova[55].  “...Harramelle Aluariz...” subscribed the charter dated 24 Dec 988 under which Vermudo II King of León donated “homines...in Uangueses cum incommuniatos de Cegio” to Celanova[56].] 

-        GALICIA - HERRAMÉLIZ FAMILY

 

 

1.         [VELA (-after 933)Conde.  Lucas de Tuy (dated to [1236]) records that "in Castella et in Alaua adolescens...comes generosus...Vela" rebelled against Fernando González Conde de Castilla (dated therefore to some time after 932) and sought refuge "ad Sarracenos" after he was expelled from the county[57].  This “comes...Vela” has not been identified in earlier primary sources in Álava, but his name suggests a family connection with Vela Jiménez.  Salazar Acha, in his study of the Vela family in León, doubts the historical accuracy of this passage and suggests that Vela was a literary creation, although maybe representing an amalgam of different historical personages, probably inspired by the epic Romanz del Infant García which recounts the assassination of García Sánchez Conde de Castilla in 1029 by the sons of “Conde Vela”[58].  However, from a chronological point of view he could have been the same person as Vela Núñez, who is recorded in several charters of Sahagún monastery with the title conde in the kingdom of León.  The assassination is recorded by Lucas de Tuy who states that "Burgensium...comite...infante Garsia" arrived in León to marry Sancha, sister of Vermudo III King of León, but was killed by "filii Velæ comitis"[59].] 

 

 

1.         SARRACINO (-after 921).  "Didaco comite" donated property to the monastery of San Felices de Oca, by charter dated 15 Mar 863, witnessed by "Gomaze, Gogenellu, Sarrazino…"[60].  "Didaco comite" donated property to the monastery of San Felices de Oca, by charter dated 864, witnessed by "Gomaze, Gonellu, Sarrazino…"[61].  “Sarracino” witnessed the (undated, dated to the early 10th century) confirmation by “Gundisalvo Fernandiz comite” of the charter of “Monnio Nunnez et uxor mea Argilo” in favour of Brañosera[62]m ---.  The name of Sarracino's wife is not known.  Sarracino & his wife had [five] children: 

a)         [LOPE Sarracínez "el Vizcaino" (-killed in battle Hacinas 939).  “Lope Sarracinez” confirmed the 28 Jan [929] donation of Fernando González, later Conde de Castilla, and his mother Muniadomna to the monastery of Santa María de Lara[63]He was recorded in the Crónica General[64].]  m SANCHA Sánchez, daughter of SANCHO Núñez Señor en Durango & his wife Íñiga Aznárez.  Llorente records her parentage and marriage but does not cite the primary source on which it is based[65].  Lope & his wife had [two] children: 

i)          [MUNIO López (-[950]).  Llorente states that he was señor de Vizcaya and records his parentage but does not cite the primary source on which it is based[66].  According to Llorente, Munio López was the same person as Munio Conde de Vizcaya who married Velasquita de Navarra[67].  However, this co-identity does not appear possible in view of the second and third marriages of Munio´s wife Velasquita which are recorded in other sources, and assuming that Llorente correctly reports the dates of death of Munio López´s father and of Munio López himself.  m [ELVIRA Vermúdez, daughter of VERMUDO Laínez & his wife Teresa Núñez.  The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Rodrigo Vermuiz, D. Elvira Vermuiz, de que vienen los de Biscaya" as the children of "Vermui Lainez", adding in a later passage that she married "Fortum Froes señor de Biscaya"[68].  Llorente adapts this by recording Elvira Vermúdez but adding that she married Munio López (without citing the primary source on which it is based), assuming that she was Munio´s first wife as he states that his second wife was Velasquita de Navarra[69].  It is uncertain whether Elvira Vermúdez was historical or fictitious.]  Munio & his wife had [two] children: 

(a)       [ÍÑIGO Muñoz (-[990]).  Llorente states that he was señor de Vizcaya and records his parentage but does not cite the primary source on which it is based, although adding that he is named in sources dated from 940 to 972 and that he died childless[70].  The mid-14th Century Nobiliario of Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós names “don Lope Ortiz” as the son of “Frutan Froez” and his wife, adding that he was “con el conde Fernan Gonzalez en la lid de Almanzor” and was father of “don Diego Lopez[71].  The Nobiliario proceeds by identifying this person as the father of “Iñiguez Guerra señor de Vizcaya”.  All these references demonstrate how confused and unreliable are the reports concerning the early señores de Vizcaya.]

It has been suggested that Gonzalo Álvarez, shown below, was the same person as Gonzalo Álvarez who is recorded in Castile/Burgos.  This co-identity is indicated because of the common name and patronymic and also because of their similar age.  However, Zambrana (“Cembrana” in the charter quoted below) is located south-east of Miranda de Ebro, in the present-day Spanish province of Álava.  This is east of San Millán de Cogolla, whereas the other locations in connection with which the other Gonzalo Álvarez is named are to its west in the county of Castile, near Burgos.  It is possible, therefore, that there were two different persons named Gonzalo Álvarez.  This is suggested also because of the apparent connections between Gonzalo Álvarez of Castile/Burgos and a set of [four] brothers, related to the family of Gonzalo Salvadórez, who are shown in the document ASTURIAS, CASTILLA, GALICIA, LEÓN NOBILITY.  It should also be noted that the names of two of the sons of Gonzalo Álvarez in Zambrana are typically Navarrese (“Lope” and “Jimeno”) are not found in the supposed family of Gonzalo Álvarez in Castile/Burgos, in which no “Martín” has been found either.  This hypothesis of two (if not three, see above) different persons named Gonzalo Álvarez appears corroborated by the charters which are recorded below.

1.         DIEGO --- .  The names Diego and Álvaro are less common among Navarrese nobility than in Asturias and León, where the ancestry of Sancho Fernández should presumably be sought.  m ---.  The name of Diego´s wife is not known.  Diego & his wife had one child:

a)         ÁLVARO Díaz “Marcelo” (-[17 Apr/3 Jul] 1072)The nobleman who is named “don Marcelo” is identified as Álvaro Díaz by Fortún Pérez de Ciriza[164].  His name is confirmed in the patronymic of his children referred to in several sources quoted below.  The primary source which confirms his own patronymic has not yet been identified.  The origin of his surname “Marcelo” has not yet been ascertained.  If this identity is correct, it would be chronologically compatible for him to have been Álvaro Díaz, son of Diego Álvarez de Asturias & his wife ---, who is named in the charter dated 8 Dec 1029 under which "Senior Didaco Alvarez de Asturias" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, confirmed by "filiis meis Alvaro Didaco et Beila Didaco…"[165].  The origin of his surname “Marcelo” has not yet been ascertained.  “…Sennor dompno Marcelle…” subscribed two charters for San Millán de la Cogolla dated 14 Mar 1046 and 17 Feb 1050[166]Señor en Marañón.  “…Senior domno Marcelle dominator Maranione…” witnessed a donation of Sancho IV King of Navarre to Irache by charter dated 7 Feb 1063, signing second in the list of subscribers which suggests his seniority at

of prominence[168].  “…Dompnus Marcellus dominans Maranione…” subscribed a charter dated 13 Feb 1063[169]Senior Sancho Fortunez” donated “monasterio…de San Miguel de Arendo” to the monastery of San

Furtunio Acenariz et coniugi tue domna Auria[172].  “…Senior domno Marcelle dominator Maranione…”  witnessed the charter dated 15 Jun 1064 under which “Senior Garcia Scemenones…cum coniux mea domina Mencia” donated property to Leire, signing first among the lay subscribers[173]Señor en Álava.  “Seniore domino Marcelle in Alaua…” is named in the dating clause of a charter dated 27 Nov 1064 under which “Senior Eximino Garceiz et germanus meus senior Lope Garceiz vel germana nostra domina Sancia” donated property to Leire[174].  “Senior don Marcel de Alaua…” witnessed a charter dated 1065 under which “domna Sancha Auriel simulque filia mea Sancia Sancionis” sold properties to Leire[175].  “…Senior dompno Marcelle in Marainione…” witnessed a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 25 Jun 1066[176].  The dating clause of a charter dated 1 Nov 1066 under which “domna Tota” donated property to Leire monastery names “…Seniore domno Marcelle in Alaba et Marainione…[177].  “…Senior domno Marcelle in Maranione…” subscribed a charter dated 1068 for Albelda monastery[178].  “…Senior domno Marcello, Marainone…” witnessed a charter for Irache dated 1070[179].  “Senior Marcellus cum coniuge mea domna Goto necnon et filiis et filiabus nostris” donated the church of San Miguel in Ripa, Santa Gemma, Ararrian and one third of Pangua to Leire monastery by charter dated 1071[180].  “…Senior don Marcelle in Granion et in Maranion…” confirmed a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 7 Dec 1071[181].  “Senior don Marcelle tenente Maranione…” is named in the dating clause of a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 17 Apr 1072[182].  A charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 3 Jul 1072 records that “in hoc anno obit senior dompno Marcelle[183]m ANDREGOTO Galíndez, daughter of GALINDO --- & his wife --- (-after [1108]).  “Senior dompno Marcelle et domina Andregoto uxor mea” donated property “su heredad de Arrariain” to Leire monastery by charter dated 1066[184].  “Senior Marcellus cum coniuge mea domna Goto necnon et filiis et filiabus nostris” donated the church of San Miguel in Ripa, Santa Gemma, Ararrian and one third of Pangua to Leire monastery by charter dated 1071[185].  “…Senior don Marcelle in Granion et in Maranion…” confirmed a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 7 Dec 1071[186].  “Dompna Godo” donated the monastery of Santa María de Rotezno to San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1087, confirmed by “filios meos Monnio Alvarez, Sancio Alvarez, Didaco Alvarez, Furtun Alvarez[187].  Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1095] under which “Godo Galindez et filiis meis Fortun Albarez et Lope Albarez” donated property to San Millán de la Cogolla[188].  According to Llorente, she was the sister of Íñigo López Señor de Vizcaya but he cites no primary source in support[189].  This appears to be disproved by the previous charter.  Her date of death is set by the charter dated [1108] under which her son “Senior Munio Albaro” donated Berganza monastery to San Miguel de Ripa, which names “mea matre dompna Goto et meo germano senior Didaco Albaroiz, senior Lope Albaroiz, senior Sancio Albaroiz” as “fidiatores[190].

(a)       ÁLVARO Muñoz “el Viejo” (-after 1183).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   Fortún Pérez de Ciriza names Álvaro Muñoz “el Viejo” as grandson of Marcelo and as tenente in Laguardia from 1180-1183[195]

ii)         SANCHO Álvarez (-after 20 Jan 1110).  “Dompna Godo” donated the monastery of Santa María de Rotezno to San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1087, confirmed by “filios meos Monnio Alvarez, Sancio Alvarez, Didaco Alvarez, Furtun Alvarez[196].  “Senior Munio Albaro” donated Berganza monastery to San Miguel de Ripa by charter dated [1108] which names “mea matre dompna Goto et meo germano senior Didaco Albaroiz, senior Lope Albaroiz, senior Sancio Albaroiz” as “fidiatores[197]Senior Munio Albaro” recognised that his parents donated the monastery of San Miguel de Ripa to the monastery of Leire and donated his part of the monastery, excepting “de fratre meo Sancio Albaro”, by charter dated 6 Jan 1110, signed by “uxor mea dompna Albira Didez[198].  “Sancius Aluaro de Garissuri” donated property to Leire monastery, for the souls of “patris mei dompno Marcelle et matris mee dompna Goto”, by charter dated 20 Jan 1110[199]

iii)        DIEGO Álvarez (-after 25 Jul 1109).  "…Sennor Furtun Alvarez, sennor Didaco Alvarez, sennor Lope Alvarez…" confirmed the charter dated 17 Aug 1082 under which "Lupe Enneconis…prolis de comite Enneco Lupiz, dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcua et Alava…cum consocia mea domna Ticlo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla[200].  “Dompna Godo” donated the monastery of Santa María de Rotezno to San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1087, confirmed by “filios meos Monnio Alvarez, Sancio Alvarez, Didaco Alvarez, Furtun Alvarez[201].  “Senior Munio Albaro” donated Berganza monastery to San Miguel de Ripa by charter dated [1108] which names “mea matre dompna Goto et meo germano senior Didaco Albaroiz, senior Lope Albaroiz, senior Sancio Albaroiz” as “fidiatores[202].  “Senior Didaco Albaro” confirmed the donation by his (unnamed) parents of San Miguel de Ripa to Leire monastery by charter dated 25 Jul 1109 which names “mea matre dompna Goto et meo germano senior Didaco Albaroiz, senior Lope Albaroiz, senior Sancio Albaroiz” as “fidiatores”, and is signed by “senioris Didaco Albaro, dompna Urracha Scemeroiz, senioris Sanz Lopiz et uxoris sue dompna Goto, qui ambo posuerunt fermes seniorem Munio Albaro, Tota Didaz, Urracha Didaz, Maria Didaz[203]m URRACA Jiménez, daughter of JIMENO --- & his wife ---.  Her marriage is indicated by the charter dated 25 Jul 1109 under which “Senior Didaco Albaro” confirmed the donation by his (unnamed) parents of San Miguel de Ripa to Leire monastery and which is signed by “senioris Didaco Albaro, dompna Urracha Scemeroiz…Tota Didaz, Urracha Didaz, Maria Didaz[204].  Diego & his wife had [four] children: 

(a)       TOTA Díaz (-after 25 Jul 1109).  Her parentage is indicated by the charter dated 25 Jul 1109 under which “Senior Didaco Albaro” confirmed the donation by his (unnamed) parents of San Miguel de Ripa to Leire monastery and which is signed by “senioris Didaco Albaro, dompna Urracha Scemeroiz…Tota Didaz, Urracha Didaz, Maria Didaz[205]

(b)       [TECLA Díaz ([1060 or before]-after 1104).  Tecla Díaz, wife of Lope Iñíguez, was the daughter of a Diego Álvarez, as shown by the charter dated 14 Mar 1079 under which "domna Ticlo, filia de senior Didado Alvarez" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, with the consent of "domno meo comite Lope Ennecones", confirmed by "comite Gundissalvo, sennor Didaco Alvarez pater meus, Martinus Sanchiz…"[206].  Two possible individuals named Diego Álvarez have been identified who could have been her father, firstly Diego Álvarez señor de Oca (see the document ASTURIAS, GALICIA, LEON NOBILITY), secondly Diego Álvarez son of Marcelo.  At first sight, the chronology seems to favour the first possibility.  However, the second case (which is assumed to be correct by Fortún Pérez de Ciriza[207]) is not impossible on the basis of the facts which are currently known.  The validity of this second case depends on confirming the approximate dates of birth of Marcelo´s children, which has not so far been possible.  If it can be assumed that Marcelo´s wife Andregoto was very old when she died, it is possible that their children were born in the late 1030s/1040s, which would be consistent with the wife of Lope Iñíguez being their granddaughter.  However, Marcelo and Andregoto´s other grandson Álvaro Muñoz “el Viejo” was alive in 1183, which seems inconsistent with this theory.  At present there is insufficient information to exclude either possible parentage.  Tecla is therefore shown in both places, until more information comes to light.  "Aldefonsus imperator tocius Castelle et Toleto necnon et Nazare seu Alave" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo, at the request of "comite domno Lope cum coniuge sua domna Ticlo", by charter dated 1091[208].  "Tecla comitissa filia Didaco Albaroyz" donated her property at Villa Farta to Santa Maria de Pamplona for the soul of "comitis de Lupi de Alaua et Bizcaya mariti mei" with the consent of "filiis meis Didaco, Sancie et filia Tota et Santia et Taresa" by charter dated Jan 1094[209]"Domna Ticlo cometissa" chose to be buried in the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1104, naming "meus pater Didaco Alvarez", and witnessed by "filios meos…Tota Lopez, Sancia Lopez, Didaco Lopez, Sancio Lopez, Teresa Lopez…"[210]m (before 14 Mar 1079) LOPE Iñíguez Señor de Vizcaya, son of ÍÑIGO Lopez "Ezquerra" Conde and Señor de Vizcaya & his wife Toda Fortúnez (-[1093]).] 

(c)       URRACA Díaz (-after 25 Jul 1109).  Her parentage is indicated by the charter dated 25 Jul 1109 under which “Senior Didaco Albaro” confirmed the donation by his (unnamed) parents of San Miguel de Ripa to Leire monastery and which is signed by “senioris Didaco Albaro, dompna Urracha Scemeroiz…Tota Didaz, Urracha Didaz, Maria Didaz[211]

v)         LOPE Álvarez (-after [1095]).  "…Sennor Furtun Alvarez, sennor Didaco Alvarez, sennor Lope Alvarez…" confirmed the charter dated 17 Aug 1082 under which "Lupe Enneconis…prolis de comite Enneco Lupiz, dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcua et Alava…cum consocia mea domna Ticlo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla[223].  “Godo Galindez et filiis meis Fortun Albarez et Lope Albarez” donated property to San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated to [1095][224].  “Senior Munio Albaro” donated Berganza monastery to San Miguel de Ripa by charter dated [1108] which names “mea matre dompna Goto et meo germano senior Didaco Albaroiz, senior Lope Albaroiz, senior Sancio Albaroiz” as “fidiatores[225]

1.         VELASCO --- .  m ---.  The name of Vela´s wife is not known.  Vela & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         LOPE Velásquez (-after 1057).  “…Senior Lope Bellakiz et senior Galindo Bellakiz et senior Enneco Lopiz, confirmans…” subscribed a charter dated 1042 for the monastery of Leire[279].  The linking of these three names in this document suggests a close family relationship between them, which would be confirmed if Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez.  According to Llorente, the father of Íñigo López was Lope Muñoz, son of Munio Conde de Vizcaya but cites no primary source in support[280].  This co-identity appears impossible, firstly because the source quoted above suggests that Íñigo López´s father was Lope Velásquez, and secondly because of chronological difficulties, as the death of Iñigo López can be fixed to [1077] as shown below, far too late for him to have been the son of Lope Muñoz.  Señor en Colindres.  “…Senior Lope Bellacoz…” and “…senior Lope Velascoz de Colindres…” subscribed two charters for Santa María Real de Nájera dated 25 Mar 1042 and 2 Nov 1044 respectively[281]m ---.  The name of Lope's wife is not known.  Lope & his wife had [six] children: 

i)          [ÍÑIGO López (-[1077]).  The fact that Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez is suggested by the charter of Leire monastery dated 1042 which is signed by “…Senior Lope Bellakiz et senior Galindo Bellakiz et senior Enneco Lopiz, confirmans…[282].  The linking of these three names in the same phrase in the document suggests a close family relationship between them, which would be confirmed if Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez.  According to Llorente[283], Íñigo López was the son of a hypothetical “Lope Muñoz” who, he says, was the son of Munio López, husband of Velasquita daughter of Sancho I García King of Navarre, who is recorded as conde de Vizcaya in the source which records his marriage (see above).  However, this suggested relationship appears impossible from a chronological point of view.  Señor en Vizcaya.  “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Bizcaia…” subscribed charters of Leire monastery dated 13 Aug 1043 and 1047[284].  “…Senior Enneco Lopiz de Bizcaya…” subscribed a charter dated 26 Dec 1046 of Santa María la Real de Nájera[285]Conde.  "Senior Enneco Lopez…comiti…cum uxore mea domna Tota" donated property to the bishop of Álava by charter dated 30 Jan 1051, confirmed by "sennor Lope Garceiz Arratiensis, sennor Lope Blascoz Baracaldonensis, sennor Sancio Annussoiz Aberacanensis, domna Leguntia Esceverrianensis"[286].  "Garsea rex et…Stephania regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 29 May 1053, confirmed by "…comite Enneco Lopez…"[287].  Gomesano Bishop of Calahorra granted property to "senior Eximino Furtuniones et senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 19 Mar 1058, confirmed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz…"[288]Senior Sancho Fortunez” donated “monasterio…de San Miguel de Arendo” to the monastery of San Prudencio by charter dated 11 Apr 1063, subscribed by “…señor Iñigo Lopez en Nagera, señor domno Marcelo en Maranon[289].]

ÍÑIGO López, son of LOPE Velásquez & his wife --- (-[1077]).  The fact that Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez is suggested by the charter of Leire monastery dated 1042 which is signed by “…Senior Lope Bellakiz et senior Galindo Bellakiz et senior Enneco Lopiz, confirmans…[319].  The linking of these three names in the same phrase in the document suggests a close family relationship between them, which would be confirmed if Íñigo López was the son of Lope Velásquez.  According to Llorente[320], Íñigo López was the son of a hypothetical “Lope Muñoz” who, he says, was the son of Munio López, husband of Velasquita daughter of Sancho I García King of Navarre, who is recorded as conde de Vizcaya in the source which records his marriage (see above).  However, this suggested relationship appears impossible from a chronological point of view.  Señor en Vizcaya.  “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Bizcaia…” subscribed charters of Leire monastery dated 13 Aug 1043 and 1047[321]“…Senior Enneco Lopiz de Bizcaya…” subscribed a charter dated 26 Dec 1046 of Santa María la Real de Nájera[322]Conde.  "Senior Enneco Lopez…comiti…cum uxore mea domna Tota" donated property to the bishop of Álava by charter dated 30 Jan 1051, confirmed by "sennor Lope Garceiz Arratiensis, sennor Lope Blascoz Baracaldonensis, sennor Sancio Annussoiz Aberacanensis, domna Leguntia Esceverrianensis"[323]"Garsea rex et…Stephania regina" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 29 May 1053, confirmed by "…comite Enneco Lopez…"[324].  Gomesano Bishop of Calahorra granted property to "senior Eximino Furtuniones et senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 19 Mar 1058, confirmed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz…"[325]Senior Sancho Fortunez” donated “monasterio…de San Miguel de Arendo” to the monastery of San Prudencio by charter dated 11 Apr 1063, subscribed by “…señor Iñigo Lopez en Nagera, señor domno Marcelo en Maranon[326]A charter dated 7 Apr 1064, under which "Sancio Haperrez de Torriziella" donated property to the monastery of Valbanera, names "…sub eius Ienneco Lopez in Naira" in the dating clause immediately following the name of the king of Navarre[327]Señor en Nájera.  Many other documents in this edition of Valbanera charters also include his name in the dating clause between 13 Feb 1066 and 10 Jan 1075, as the only named "dominator" in a region of Navarre, indicating his relative importance at the Navarrese court during this period.  “…Senior Eneco Lopiz de Nagera” witnessed a charter dated 1065 under which “domna Sancha Auriel simulque filia mea Sancia Sancionis” sold properties to Leire[328].  “Comite Enneco Lopeç, dominator in Naiela…” confirmed a charter of Sancho IV King of Navarre dated 7 Dec 1071[329].  "Sancius rex" granted the monastery of San Cosme y San Damián to "senior Enneco Azenari fidele meo" by charter dated 21 Aug 1072, confirmed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz dominator Nagera…"[330].  "Sancius rex…uxoris mee Placentie regine" granted property "in confinio Duranci…parties Bizcahie, nomine Ihurueta" to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, with the consent of "Ennecus comes et coniux mea Tota", by charter dated 26 Aug 1072, confirmed by "filiis…nostris…Lope et Garsia et Galindo et Fortunii…"[331].  "Sancius rex" donated property to Santa María de Pamplona by charter dated 22 Apr 1073, subscribed by "…senior Enneco Lopiz in Nagera…"[332].  "Sancius…rex" donated property to the prior of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 1073, confirmed by "…senior Eneco Lopiz comes dominator Nagera…"[333].  "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, subscribed by "Senior Enneco Lopiç dominans Nayara…"[334].  "Sancius…Nagelensis rex" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1075, confirmed by "…sennor Enneco Lopez, sennor Lope Ennecones…"[335]Conde de Vizcaya.  "Sennior Enneco Lopez…tocius Vizcahie comes" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, for the soul of "uxoris mee domne Tote", by charter dated 1076, witnessed by "Garsea et Galindo fratres mei, domna Mencia soror mea"[336]

6.         [NUÑA Iñíguez 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[358].  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[359].  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.  m FERNANDO de Navarra, Señor de Bucesta, Jubera, Lagunilla y Oprela, son of GARCÍA V "él de Nájera” King of Navarre & his wife Estefanía de Foix (-[1068]).]

m (before 1079) TECLA Díaz, daughter of DIEGO Álvarez & his wife --- ([1060 or before]-after 1104).  Tecla Díaz, wife of Lope Iñíguez, was the daughter of a Diego Álvarez, as shown by the charter dated 14 Mar 1079 under which "domna Ticlo, filia de senior Didado Alvarez" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, with the consent of "domno meo comite Lope Ennecones", confirmed by "comite Gundissalvo, sennor Didaco Alvarez pater meus, Martinus Sanchiz…"[374].  Two possible individuals named Diego Álvarez have been identified who could have been her father, firstly she could have been Tecla Díaz, daughter of Diego Álvarez señor de Oca & his wife --- (see CASTILE NOBILITY), secondly Tecla Díaz, daughter of Diego Álvarez (son of Marcelo) & his wife Urraca Jiménez.  At first sight, the chronology seems to favour the first possibility.  However, the second case (which is assumed to be correct by Fortún Pérez de Ciriza[375]) is not impossible on the basis of the facts which are currently known.  The validity of this second case depends on confirming the approximate dates of birth of Marcelo´s children, which has not so far been possible.  If it can be assumed that Marcelo´s wife Andregoto was very old when she died, it is possible that their children were born in the late 1030s/1040s, which would be consistent with the wife of Lope Iñíguez being their granddaughter.  However, Marcelo and Andregoto´s other grandson Álvaro Muñoz “el Viejo” was alive in 1183, which seems inconsistent with this theory.  At present there is insufficient information to exclude either possible parentage.  Tecla is therefore shown in both places, until more information comes to light.  "Lupe Enneconis…prolis de comite Enneco Lupiz, dominante Bizcahia et Ipuzcua et Alava…cum consocia mea domna Ticlo" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter darted 17 Aug 1082, confirmed by "fratres mei Garcia Ennecones et Galindo Ennecones…"[376].  "Aldefonsus imperator tocius Castelle et Toleto necnon et Nazare seu Alave" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo, at the request of "comite domno Lope cum coniuge sua domna Ticlo", by charter dated 1091[377].  "Domna Tecla cometissa…cum filiis meis" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo by charter dated 1093, which names "domnus meus Lupus comes et eius pater Enneco Lopez" and is confirmed by "Didaco Lupez et frater meus Sancio Lupez et meus cognatus senior Gundissalvez Lupe et domna Tota et dompna Sancia et domna Tarasia, meis sororibus"[378].  "Tecla comitissa filia Didaco Albaroyz" donated her property at Villa Farta to Santa Maria de Pamplona for the soul of "comitis de Lupi de Alaua et Bizcaya mariti mei" with the consent of "filiis meis Didaco, Sancie et filia Tota et Santia et Taresa" by charter dated Jan 1094[379]"Domna Ticlo cometissa" chose to be buried in the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1104, naming "meus pater Didaco Alvarez", and witnessed by "filios meos…Tota Lopez, Sancia Lopez, Didaco Lopez, Sancio Lopez, Teresa Lopez…"[380]

Diego Lopez señor de Biscaya", and his wife "D.

4.         [TERESA Díaz de Haro ([1240/54]-after [1286]).  Ayala´s Crónica de Pedro I records that “Don Juan Nuñez de Lara” married “Doña Teresa, hermana del Conde Don Lope Señor de Vizcaya”, and that they were the parents of “Doña Juana de Lara madre [de] Don Juan Nuñez...[599].  Ayala´s Crónica de Enrique II records in 1373 the claim made by “Doña Maria de Lara fija de Don Ferrando de la Cerda” to “las tierras de Lara é de Vizcaya” which was based on her descent from “Doña Teresa hermana del...Conde Don Lope” and her husband “Don Juan Nuñez de Lara el viejo”, who were the parents of “Doña Juana de Lara” who married “Don Fernando de la Cerda[600]Salazar y Castro records Teresa’s parentage and marriage, without citing any primary source, and indicates that the rights to Vizcaya were inherited by Juan Núñez´s children through this marriage (which only represents a restatement of Ayala)[601].  These passages in Ayala directly contradict the assertion in the Nobiliario of Pedro Barcelos that Juan Núñez´s wife Teresa Álvarez was the mother of all his known children including his daughter Juana, and all the passages in Zurita, quoted in the document CASTILE & LEON NOBILITY (1), which indicate that Teresa Álvarez was still living in 1300.  Salazar y Castro resolves this contradiction by separating Juan Núñez de Lara into two persons, the older married to Teresa Díaz de Haro and the younger, that couple´s son, the husband of Teresa Álvarez de Azagra[602].  The chronology does not support that position.  In particular, if there were two individuals named Juan Núñez, the older would have married Teresa de Azagra and the younger Teresa de Haro: if Ayala´s statements are correct, the marriage to Teresa Díaz must have taken place after Juan married Teresa Álvarez, assuming that the birth of Juan´s daughter Juana “la Palomilla” is correctly dated to the mid-1280s.  In his Pruebas, Salazar y Castro quotes Oihenart´s Notitia utriusque Vasconiæ (written in 1638), which names "Tarasiam Ioanni Nunii Laræ domini coniugem" among the children of Diego López and his wife[603].  Oihenart cites no primary source in support of his statement, so it provides no help towards resolving the contradiction.  Estepa Díaz cites a manuscript in the archives of Simancas, which details the Lara genealogy and the succession to Vizcaya, and names “Don Lope..:Señor de Vizcaya...hermano de padre e madre de doña Teresa, la qual doña Teresa fue madre de doña Iohana de Lara[604].  He does not date the document so it is not known whether it is based on a source different from Ayala.  No charters have yet been identified which name Teresa Díaz de Haro, either in her personal capacity or as the wife of Juan Núñez.  We are left with completely contradictory sources relating to the wives of Juan Núñez de Lara.  Normally the earlier source would be preferred.  However, Zurita cannot be dismissed entirely: his Anales are in general reasonably accurate as many points can be verified against primary sources.  A further point is that none of the names usually associated with the Haro family were used among Juan Núñez’s immediate descendants.  On the hand, it is difficult to believe that the 1373 claim to Vizcaya was based on false data relating to a direct ancestor of King Enrique II’s wife who, it is assumed, would have had access to information to prove her ancestry.  Until further charter evidence emerges, it has been decided to place Teresa Díaz de Haro and her marriage to Juan Núñez in square brackets to highlight the uncertain situation.]  [m as his second wife, JUAN Núñez de Lara, son of NUÑO González de Lara "el Bueno" & his wife Teresa Alfonso (-early 1294).] 

5.         SANCHA Díaz de Haro (-after 22 Apr 1287).  "Diego López de Haro señor de Vizcaya y su mujer doña Violante infanta de Castilla" granted "el lugar de Segoviana, aldea de Santa Olalla" to "doña Sancha Díaz de Haro su hermana" by charter dated 22 Apr 1287[605].  Señora de Olalla. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 4.    SEÑORES de VIZCAYA (CASTILLA) 1326-1370

 

 

After the death in [1288/92] of Diego López de Haro Señor de Vizcaya (see above, Chapter 1), the señorío of Vizcaya was inherited by his sister María, although this succession was challenged by her paternal uncle Diego López [V] de Haro.  María was the second wife of Infante Juan de Castilla Señor de Valencia de Campos, who was a younger son of Alfonso X “el Sabio” King of Castile.  Their son Juan inherited Vizcaya from his mother but predeceased her in 1326, when the señorío was inherited by his only daughter María who later married Juan Núñez de Lara, son of Fernando de la Cerda who was the younger son of Infante don Fernando “él de la Cerda”, first son of King Alfonso X, whose sons had been deprived of their inheritance by their paternal uncle King Sancho IV.  Vizcaya was inherited in 1350 by Juan and María´s son, Nuño Díaz de Haro, who died childless and was succeeded by his older sister Juana who had married Tello de Castilla, younger brother of Enrique Alfonso Conde de Trastámara (the future King Enrique II).  Juana fell victim to the abuses of King Pedro I and was succeeded briefly by her younger sister Isabel, who was also killed on the orders of the king.  Both sisters died childless, which meant that the direct line of succession to the señorío de Vizcaya became extinct in 1361.  After declaring himself king in 1366, but before defeating King Pedro in 1369, Enrique de Trástamara purported to make a new grant of Vizcaya to his brother Tello.  No record has been found that the grant was confirmed by Enrique after his succession, but in any event Tello continued as señor de Vizcaya.  When Tello died in 1370 without legitimate heirs, he bequeathed Vizcaya to his brother the king.  Another claim to Vizcaya then emerged.  María, younger sister of Juan Núñez de Lara who had died in 1350, had married in France, firstly Charles d´Evreux Comte d´Etampes, and secondly Charles Comte d´Alençon (the younger brother of Philippe VI King of France), and claimed the señorío de Vizcaya on behalf of her sons.  She based the claim on her descent from Teresa Díaz de Haro, a younger sister of Diego [V] López de Haro who had unsuccessfully claimed Vizcaya on the death of his nephew Diego López in [1288/92] (see above).  The circumstances of the claim are described in full in Ayala´s Crónica de Enrique II which records in 1373 that “Doña Maria de Lara fija de Don Ferrando de la Cerda e de Doña Juana de Lara, hermana de Don Juan Nuñez de Lara Señor de Vizcaya, Condesa de Alanzon...primero casada en Francia con el Conde de Estampas...y despues...con el Conde de Alanzon, hermano del Rey Don Phelipe de Francia” claimed “las tierras de Lara é de Vizcaya” from Enrique II King of Castile[606]Ayala records that King Enrique accepted the claim, but on condition that the French claimants installed themselves in Spain, in the knowledge that their land-holdings in France were too important to leave.
