This document sets out Spanish noble families in the kingdoms of Castile and León from the late 11th century to the later 14th century. Earlier noble families in northern Spain are shown in the document ASTURIAS, GALICIA, LEON NOBILITY, and later families in CASTILE NOBILITY (2). The allocation of different families to these three documents is inevitably approximate.

The difficulties connected with reconstructing the families of the nobility in medieval Spain are discussed in ASTURIAS, GALICIA, LEON NOBILITY. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos provides an additional source of information for the period which is dealt with in the present document[1]. Conde Pedro was the illegitimate son of Diniz King of Portugal. He died in 1354, so the work can therefore be dated to shortly before this date. It is a difficult document, riddled with errors, especially relating to the early generations. For example, the early history of the Traba family, as set out in the Nobiliario, is completely inconsistent with reconstructions based on charter material which, presumably, is more reliable. However, the Nobiliario is the only surviving source which confirms many of the family relationships of the nobility in 13th and 14th century Castile and León. It therefore cannot be dismissed, but should be used cautiously.

Another source which is useful from a geographical point of view is the "mini-census" of early 12th century Spanish nobility which is found in the document setting out the acts of the council of Oviedo, supposedly held in 1115[2]. Barton points out that the document is spurious and so the reliability of its contents should be considered accordingly[3]. However, it nevertheless provides good indications of the geographical bases of different nobles at the time.

Chapter 1. ÁLVAREZ de ASTURIAS

Don Pedro Díaz de Valle was an important figure during the reign of Urraca Queen of Castile and was awarded the tenencia of Torres de León and the fortress of Valle de Mansilla. He is possibly identified with "…Petrus Didaci…" who is named in the list of nobles "ex terræ Tinegiæ" (Asturias de Tineo) in the spurious document relating to the supposed council of Oviedo in 1115[4]. His married daughter Gontrodo caught the attention of King Alfonso VII and became his mistress, although this marked the beginning of her father's downfall. He rebelled against the king and was exiled. The origins of the father of don Pedro cannot be traced, although it is known that he held land at San Salvador de Rode in Asturias.

Alvaro Diaz de Castañeda", and recording that "Juan Gonçalez Raposo" married secondly "D. Teresa Diaz" (which appears to refer to this same person)[57]. If this is correct, Juan González´s wife was doña Teresa Álvarez, daughter of don Álvaro Díaz de Castañeda & his wife doña --- Pérez. The Nobiliario records the maternal grandfather of both these individuals as "Pedro Aznarez", which appears to be more than coincidence. It is assumed therefore that the attempts to identify the father of Teresa Álvarez are just guesses based on her patronymic. m as his first wife, don JUAN González de Meneses Raposo, son of don GONZALO Yáñez de Meneses "el Raposo" & his wife doña Urraca Fernández de Limia.]

C. FAMILY of GUTIERRE SEBASTIÁNIZ

The following are the descendants of Gontrodo Pérez, mistress of Alfonso VII King of Castile, by her husband. These children were therefore half-brothers and sister of Queen Urraca of Navarre who, having returned to Asturias after her repudation by her husband King García VI, appears to have maintained contact with them in their later lives as they are all named together in a 1047 document.

1. don GUTIERRE Sebastiániz (-after 1137). Tenente de Aguilar. Alfonso VII King of Castile invested him with Entratgo, near the river Noreña, in Mar 1133, presumably in compensation for the king having taken his wife as concubine[74]. m doña GONTRODO Pérez, daughter of don PEDRO Díaz & his wife doña María Ordóñez (-León 29 Jun 1186, Santa María de Vega near Oviedo).

"…Fernandus Didaz comes…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Jan 1100 under which Alfonso VI King of Castile donated half of the monastery of Piloño to Santiago de Compostela[89]. Barton suggests that he may have visited Palestine after the First Crusade, quoting a charter of Sahagún dated 12 Feb 1101 which names "Fernandus comes, anno quo venit ex Iherosolimis"[90]. However, there were several individuals "Fernandus comes" at that time to whom the entry could apply.

Gonzalo & his wife had six children:

i) doña URRACA González . Gonzalo Pérez names his six children in 1159, but not his wife[106].

ii) don PEDRO González . Gonzalo Pérez names his six children in 1159, but not his wife[107]. 1189.

vi) don GÓMEZ González . Gonzalo Pérez names his six children in 1159, but not his wife[111].

5. doña ALDONZA Fernández (-[1174]). Diego Fernández refers to his brother Munio Fernández, and sisters Sancha and Jimena Fernández, in a donation to the Cathedral of Oviedo, the document also being confirmed by his [presumed] sister Aldonza Fernández[112]. She disputed with her brothers over their father's inheritance in 1144, enlisting the help of King Alfonso VII[113]. "Alvarus Guterri…cum coniuge mea domina Eldoncia Fernandi" donated the monastery "S. Johannis Evangeliste in Asturias in territorio Gegione…Fanon" to the monastery of San Vicente by charter dated 16 Nov 1145[114].

Johannis Evangeliste in Asturias in territorio Gegione…Fanon" to the monastery of San Vicente by charter dated 16 Nov 1145[115].

6. doña MARÍA Fernández . She is named as the sister of Jimena Fernández in the latter's donation to San Vicente de Oviedo in 1137[116]. m firstly conde don ALFONSO Núñez, son of conde don NUÑO Velásquez & his wife doña Fronilde Sánchez (-after 28 Jun 1125). m secondly as his second wife, don SUERO Ordóñez, son of don ORDOÑO Álvarez & his wife doña Marina Sánchez.

Chapter 3. AZA, LERMA

don GARCÍA García de Aza, son of conde don GARCÍA Ordóñez, Tenente en Nájera y Grañón & his second wife doña Eva --- (1106, before 29 Sep-16 Dec 1160). Salazar y Castro records his parentage[117]. A charter dated 1106 records "eodem anno in die sancti Michaelis" that "comes Garsia" baptised "suum filium in Sancti Emiliani ecclesiam"[118]. The primary source which names his mother has not yet been identified. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that "…García Garcés…" made peace with Alfonso VII King of Castile after his accession in 1126[119]. Alférez of Alfonso VII King of Castile 12 Dec 1126 to 13 Nov 1127[120]. "…Garcia Garciaci signifer regis…" subscribed the charter dated 13 Nov 1127 under which King Alfonso VII donated "el castillo de San Jorge en la Sierra del Pindo" to Santiago de Compostela[121]. "Aldefonsus…tocius Hyspanie imperator…cum uxore mea imperatrice domna Rica et…filiis meis Sanctio et Ferrando regibus" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 28 Oct 1155, confirmed by "…Garcia Garçiaz de Aza…"[122]. "Garcia Garciez filius comitis Garciæ bonæ memoriæ cum uxore mea Sancia" donated property in "Albergueria de Otordajos" to the church of Burgos by charter dated Dec 1159[123].

[m firstly --- de Lara, daughter of ---. This otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage of García García de Aza is suggested by the following document: "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[124]. The family relationships between Rodrigo González de Lara, the main donor, and "consanguinibus meis" have been traced except in the case of the three presumed sisters "…Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz". The connection between these sisters and the Aza family is indicated by the sister Mayor donating property, in the charter dated 24 May 1182 (see below), which had previously been donated by their supposed father. However, no close relationship between Rodrigo González de Lara and either García García de Aza or his known wife Sancha Pérez de Traba has yet been found. One explanation for the presence of the three sisters in this document is that their mother was a close relative of the Lara family, maybe the sister of Rodrigo González. If this is correct, she would have been --- González, daughter of don GONZALO Núñez [de Lara] & his wife doña Goto [Núñez]. This would also explain the absence of the other known children of García García de Aza in the document, on the assumption that they were born from his marriage to Sancha Pérez and so were not directly related to Rodrigo González.]

m [secondly] doña SANCHA Pérez de Traba, daughter of conde don PEDRO Froílaz de Traba & his second wife condesa doña Mayor Rodríguez (-after Dec 1159). "Garcia Garciez…cum uxore mea Sancia Pedrez et filiis meis" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 29 Mar 1157, witnessed by "…Maria Andrez, Maria Ylianez de Vila Tella et Gonsalbus Garciez suus filius…Pedro Garciez de Aza…"[125]. "Garcia Garciez filius comitis Garciæ bonæ memoriæ cum uxore mea Sancia" donated property in "Albergueria de Otordajos" to the church of Burgos by charter dated Dec 1159[126].

García García & his [first] wife had three children:

1. doña SANCHA Garcia (-after 7 Feb 1140). "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[127]. This date appears early for "…Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" (presumably sisters) in this document to refer to children of García García de Aza. However, their connection with the Aza family is indicated by the sister Mayor donating property, in the charter dated 24 May 1182 (see below), which had previously been donated by their supposed father. One possibility, as suggested above, is that the mother of the three sisters was an otherwise unrecorded earlier wife of their father who was related to Rodrigo González de Lara. The fact that Mayor was the only donor in the charter dated 24 May 1182 (see below) suggests that her sisters Sancha and María predeceased her without leaving heirs.

2. doña MAYOR García de Aza (-after 24 May 1182). "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[128]. Alfonso VIII King of Castile granted "la villa de Sequilla, sita en el río de Francos…en el término de Cobos de Cerrato" to Gonzalo and his wife by charter dated 1 Mar 1169[129]. A charter dated Jan 1182 records the entry of her daughter Inés in the Cistercian monastery of Aza, in the presence of her mother "Mayor García", subscribed by her children "Fernando, Pedro, Alberico, Nuño, Domicio, Inés"[130]. "Cometissa domna Mayor" donated property in "Albergueria de Oterdajos et de Paramo et de Villaymara" to the church of Burgos by charter dated 24 May 1182[131] (which follows an earlier donation to Burgos dated 1159 by her supposed father: "Garcia Garciez filius comitis Garciæ bonæ memoriæ cum uxore mea Sancia" donated property in "Albergueria de Otordajos"[132]). m don GONZALO [Rodríguez] de Marañón, son of [don RODRIGO Pérez de Marañón & his wife --- (-after 21 Nov 1178). [It should be noted that, according to Salazar y Castro, Mayor García de Aza married don Fernando Núñez de Lara, son of don Nuño Pérez de Lara & his wife doña Teresa Fernández de Traba (-Marrakesh 1217, bur Santa María de Puente Fitero). This parentage is supposedly confirmed by the charter dated 27 Oct 1242 under which her daughters "Doña Sancha Fernández de Lara mujer de don Fernando infante de Portugal señor de Serpa y doña Teresa Fernández de Lara su hermana, mujer de Ponce Hugo conde de Ampurias, hijas del conde Fernando Núñez de Lara alférez mayor de Castilla y de su mujer la condesa doña Mayor García de Aza" donated property in Belorado to the bishop of Burgos[133]. The wife of Fernando Núñez de Lara was named Mayor, as shown by the charter dated 1231 under which "Comdessa dompna Mayor mulier del comde don Ferrando et…don Aluar Ferrandez et…dompna Sancha Ferrandet et…dompna Teresa Fernandet, filios del comde don Ferrando" property to the hospital of Burgos[134]. However, Martínez Díez describes her parentage as proposed by Salazar y Castro as "pura fabulación y…en contradicción con todos los diplomas y documentos que conocemos", pointing out that all the documentation points to Mayor García de Aza having married Gonzalo [Rodríguez] de Marañón as shown above[135]. The original text of the charter dated 27 Oct 1242 has not yet been found, so it is not possible to assess the extent that the extract as provided by Salazar y Castro strays from its wording.

3. doña MARÍA Garcia (-after 1140). "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[136]. The fact that Mayor was the only donor in the charter dated 24 May 1182 (see above) suggests that her sisters Sancha and María predeceased her without leaving heirs.

García García & his [second] wife had [seven] children:

4. don PEDRO García de Lerma (-after 22 Aug 1202). [Salazar y Castro records that "Pedro García y sus hermanas Mayor, Sancha y María" are named in a charter dated 1140 under which Rodrigo González de Lara donated Gormeces to the monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza[137]. This date appears early for the document to refer to children of García García de Aza.] Salazar y Castro records his parentage, citing a donation by "Pedro García…con sus hermanos Gómez, Ordoño, Gonzalo" of Talavera to the Order of Calatrava, by undated charter[138]. Mayordomo of Alfonso VIII King of Castile Mar 1161 to 7 Feb 1172, and 8 Dec 1195 to 25 Jan 1198. Salazar y Castro cites a charter of Alfonso VIII King of Castile dated 1 Oct 1177 confirmed by (in order) "Petrus Garsiæ, Gomez Garsiæ, Ordonius Garsiæ"[139]. Mayordomo of Alfonso IX King of Leon 8 Jul 1188 to 18 Dec 1188[140]. "…Petrus Garsie de Lerma…" subscribed the charter dated Dec 1199 under which Alfonso VIII King of Castile donated the monastery of Las Huelgas de Burgos to the Order of Cistercians[141]. "…Petrus Garsie de Lerma…" confirmed the charter dated 12 Sep 1201 under which Alfonso VIII King of Castile confirmed the purchase of houses in Toledo by "Ferrando Sancii…repostario meo"[142]. m doña SANCHA Ponce, daughter of conde don PONCE de Minerva & his wife condesa doña Estefanía Ramírez (-after 26 Feb 1189). “La condesa María y la condesa Sancha, hijas del conde Ponce de León” divided the inheritance of their father by charter dated 26 Feb 1189[143].

5. don GÓMEZ García de Roa (-after 11 Feb 1191). Salazar y Castro states that "todos los escritores tienen a este señor por el primogénito de D. Garcia Garces IV del nombre señor de Aza y de doña Sancha su mujer" adding that he found no document which contradicts this statement[144]. However, he also cites a charter of Alfonso VIII King of Castile dated 1 Oct 1177 confirmed by (in order) "Petrus Garsiæ, Gomez Garsiæ, Ordonius Garsiæ"[145]. If this document correctly refers to the sons of García García de Aza, it suggests that Gómez was the second son. Alférez of don Alfonso VIII King of Castile 30 Dec 1178 to 4 Aug 1182[146]. "…Gomez Garsie de Roda signifer regis Castelle…" subscribed, for Alfonso VIII King of Castile, the charter dated 21 Mar 1181 which records a peace treaty between King Alfonso VIII and Fernando II King of León[147]. [m doña EREMBURGA, daughter of --- (-[1192]). The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.] [m doña MARÍA García Señora de Roa, daughter of don GÓMEZ García Señor de Roa & his wife doña Teresa Álvarez de Asturias. Salazar y Castro records her parentage and marriage, adding that she was her husband´s second cousin her father being "hermano del conde don Garcia Garcia señor de Aza que murió en la batalla de Uclés"[148], although as noted above primary source documentation indicates that the paternal grandfather of Gómez García was named García Ordóñez.] Gómez & his wife had [five] children:

a) don GONZALO Gómez de Roa (-after 1212). Señor de Aza.

- see below.

b) [don JUAN García . His patronymic suggests that this affiliation may be incorrect. Señor de Roa. m doña URRACA García de Villamayor Señora de Villalón, daughter of don JUAN García de Villamayor & his wife doña Urraca Fernández de Castro. Salazar y Castro records her parentage and marriage[149].]

c) don PEDRO Gómez de Aza . Salazar y Castro records his parentage adding that he "tuvo en honor a Peñafiel…la única noticia que hallamos suya"[150].

d) don FERNANDO Gómez de Aza . Salazar y Castro records his parentage[151]. Señor de Albornoz.

- SEÑORES de ALBORNOZ[152].

e) don GARCÍA Gómez de Aza . Salazar y Castro records his parentage[153]. Comendador de Maqueda en la Orden de Calatrava.

6. don ORDOÑO García (-after 1188). Salazar y Castro records his parentage, citing a donation by "Pedro García…con sus hermanos Gómez, Ordoño, Gonzalo" of Talavera to the Order of Calatrava, by undated charter[154]. Salazar y Castro cites a charter of Alfonso VIII King of Castile dated 1 Oct 1177 confirmed by (in order) "Petrus Garsiæ, Gomez Garsiæ, Ordonius Garsiæ"[155]. "…Ordonius Garsie…" subscribed, for Alfonso VIII King of Castile, the charter dated 21 Mar 1181 which records a peace treaty between King Alfonso VIII and Fernando II King of León[156].

7. don GONZALO García . Salazar y Castro records his parentage, citing a donation by "Pedro García…con sus hermanos Gómez, Ordoño, Gonzalo" of Talavera to the Order of Calatrava, by undated charter[157].

8. don GARCÍA García (-after 1166). Salazar y Castro records his parentage, citing a donation by "Pedro García…con sus hermanos Gómez, Ordoño, Gonzalo" of Talavera to the Order of Calatrava, by undated charter[158]. Señor de Montejo y Castel Sarracín. [m firstly doña LEONOR Fortúnez, daughter of don FORTÚN López Señor de Soria y San Estebán de Gormaz & his wife doña Elvira Pérez. Salazar y Castro states that "convienen los escritores de mejor nombre" concerning her parentage and marriage, but does not cite the corresponding primary source[159].] [m secondly (before 15 Jul 1165) doña --- Díaz, daughter of don DIEGO Díaz de Velasco & his wife doña Enderquina ---. "Didacus Didaci de Biascori" donated property in Villaporquera "iuxta terram Garcie Garceiz de Villoria" to San Millán de Cogolla by charter dated 14 Sep 1165, witnessed by "Domna Endrechina eiusdem Didaci Didaz uxor…Bernardus Didaci eius filius, Gilius Didaci eiusdem filii, domna Rama et domna Ozenda eiusdem filii, Garsea Garciez eiusdem gener, Ferrandus Gonzalvez eiusdem gener, Simeon Garsiez eiusdem gener, Didacus Didaci Covo eiusdem frater…"[160]. Salazar y Castro identifies the witness "…Garsea Garciez eiusdem gener…" as García García, son of García García de Aza[161]. However, there seems no guarantee that this co-identification is correct. It appears likely that García García, the witness in this document, was the same person as "Garcie Garceiz de Villoria" who the document names as the owner of land adjacent to the property donated. If this is correct, no connection has yet been found between García García de Aza and Villoria or indeed any property which is near the monastery of San Millán de Cogolla. This suggested marriage also appear early to apply to a son of García García de Aza, bearing in mind the known chronology of his son Pedro García and his daughter Mayor García.] [García García & his wife had one child] (Salazar y Castro records two other supposed children but the basis for his assigning them to García García de Aza is unclear from his text, other than their patronymic "García"[162]):

a) [don RODRIGO García de Aza (-after 1213). Salazar y Castro records his parentage and names his four supposed children[163]. Master of the Order of Calatrava 1212.]

9. [don RODRIGO García de Aza . Argote Molina stated that "don Rodrigo Garcez de Aca, maestre de Calatrava" was the son of "don Garcia Garcez de Aca Señor de Montejo", although he also says that Rodrigo´s mother was "doña Leonor Fortuñez hija de don Fortun Lopez de Soria y de doña Elvira Perez su muger que fue hija de Pero Nuñez de Fuente Almexir"[164].]

10. [doña JUANA de Aza . Salazar y Castro records that "muchos graves escritores señalan esta filiación" and her marriage but cites no correponding primary source[165]. m don FERNANDO Rodríguez de Guzmán, son of don RODRIGO Muñoz & his wife --- (-after Nov 1167).]

don GONZALO Gómez de Roa, son of don GÓMEZ García de Roa & his wife [doña María García Señora de Roa] (-after 1212). Señor de Aza.

m doña LEONOR González Girón, daughter of don GONZALO Rodríguez Girón & his second wife doña Marquesa Pérez.

Salazar y Castro records her parentage and marriage[169]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the wife of don Gómez González de Aza was doña Teresa Rodríguez de Lara[170]. Heiress of Villalobos. Gómez & his wife had two children:

a) don GIL Gómez de Roa (-after 1274). m firstly doña TERESA Núñez de Lara, daughter of don NUÑO González de Lara "el Bueno" & his wife doña Teresa Alfonso de León.

Chapter 4. SEÑORES de los CAMEROS

JIMENO Fortúnez, son of FORTÚN --- & his wife --- (-after 25 Nov 1089). [Charters subscribed by Lope Fortúnez and Jimeno Fortúnez together suggest that they may have been brothers. Señor de Arneto.

Señor de Pontecurbo. “…Senior Eximino Fortunionis dominator Cambero et Pontcurbo…” confirmed a donation of Sancho IV King of Navarre to Irache by charter dated 1060[188]. According to García Turza, Jimeno son of Fortún Ochoa inherited el señorío de los Cameros y Viguera from his father, but he does not cite the primary source on which this is based[189]. It is not certain that this is correct. Jimeno Fortúnez Señor de los Cameros was closely associated in primary source documentation with Íñigo Fortúnez Señor de Arneto, as shown above. It is suspected that the two were brothers as shown here. However, the chronology is not ideal for Íñigo Fortúnez to have been the son of Fortún Ochoa.

Fernan Perez de Trava Conde de Trastamar", adding in a later passage that "D. Dia Ximenez Señor de los Cameros" married "D. Guiomar Fernandez"[227]. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. Alfonso VIII King of Castille granted the town of Herce, Rioja to "Didaco Semenez et uxori vestre domna Giomar et filiis et filiabus vestris" by charter dated 9 Apr 1173[228]. “Didacus Ximenez cum uxore mea Guiomar et sororibus meis domna Urraca et domna Teressa, domna quoque Sanctia et domina Maria et cum omnibus filiis et filiabus nostris...” donated property to the monastery of San Prudencio, for the souls of “...patris nostri Dni Semenez et Dnæ Mariæ uxoris eius”, by charter dated 29 Aug 1181[229].

Ruy Diaz señor de los Cameros" married "D. Urraca Diaz"[234]. The name of Rodrigo´s wife was Aldonza, as shown by the charter dated 8 Jan 1221 under which “Rodericus Didaci de Camberiis…cum uxore mea Alducia Didaci” donated property to the monastery of Santa María de Cañas[235]. It is possible that the Nobiliario correctly stated Aldonza´s parentage, merely confusing her name with that of her sister. If that is correct, she was doña Aldonza Díaz, daughter of Diego López “el Bueno” Conde de Haro, Señor de Vizcaya & his second wife Toda Pérez. It should be noted that Rodrigo´s brother Álvaro is recorded as having married another daughter of Diego López. It appears to be a reasonable hypothesis that the two brothers married two sisters. Rodrigo & his wife had [two] children:

a) don SIMON Rodríguez de los Cameros (-murdered Trevino 1277). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Simon Rodriquez, D. Elvira Roiz" as the children of "D.

Argote Molina records that "don Guillen Perez de Guzman" married "doña Elvira Rodriguez hija de don Ruy Diaz Señor de los Cameros y de la condesa doña Urraca Diaz de Haro hija de don Diego Lopez de Haro el Bueno Señor de Vizcaya, que fue antes muger de el Conde don Alvar Nuñez de Lara"[245]. If this parentage is correct, it is unclear why the señorio de los Cameros passed to the children of her first cousin María Álvarez and not to her own children. m don GUILLEN Pérez de Guzman, son of don PEDRO Rodríguez de Guzman & his wife doña Elvira Gómez de Manzanedo (-after 30 Jun 1244).]

2. ÁLVARO Díaz de los Cameros (-after 1219). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "Ruy Diaz, D. Alvaro Diaz" as the children of "D. Dia Ximenez Señor de los Cameros" and his wife "D.

The same couple made a series of donations to Santa María de Herce and founded other monasteries by charters dated the same date, suggesting that these were testamentary dispositions[251]. "Dona María Álvarez…conmigo don Johan Alfons mio fijo" donated property inherited from her father (not named) to the monastery of Santa María de Herce, with the consent of "don Alfonso", by charter dated 5 Sep [1248][252]. m (before Apr 1242) as his first wife, don ALFONSO López de Haro , son of don LOPE Díaz “Cabeza bravo” Señor de Vizcaya, Señor de Haro & his doña Urraca Alfonso de León (-[1263/8 Feb 1268]).

However, there appears to be some confusion relating to Álvaro Díaz, as shown by the references in the same source to the marriage of his daughter. m doña --- Pérez, daughter of don PEDRO Aznárez & his wife ---.

a) [doña TERESA Álvarez . There is confusion about the identity of the wife or wives of Juan González. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Teresa Alvarez" as the child of "Alonso [error for Alvaro] Diaz" and his wife "D. Juana Perez", adding in another passage that "Juan Gonçalez Raposo" married "D. Teresa Alvarez"[302]. If this is correct, she was doña Teresa Álvarez, daughter of don Álvaro Díaz & his wife doña Juana Pérez. However, the same source records a second marriage of Juan González: naming "D. Teresa Alvarez" as the child of "D. Alvaro Diaz de Castañeda", and recording that "Juan Gonçalez Raposo" married secondly "D. Teresa Diaz" (which appears to refer to this same person)[303]. The Nobiliario records the maternal grandfather of both these individuals as "Pedro Aznarez", which appears to be more than coincidence. It is assumed therefore that the attempts to identify the father of Teresa Álvarez are just guesses based on her patronymic. m as his second wife, don JUAN González de Meneses Raposo, son of don GONZALO Yáñez de Meneses "el Raposo" & his wife doña Urraca Fernández de Limia.]

Chapter 7. CASTRO

The Castro family attained a position of power during the reign of Alfonso VII King of Castile and succeeded in maintaining its influence thereafter. Its origins are, however, obscure. As shown below, one theory is that the first known member of the family don Fernando García was the illegitimate son of García King of Galicia, a younger son of Fernando I King of Castile, who was arrested and imprisoned by his older brothers. The theory is interesting and could explain the family's sudden rise to prominence but there is no proof that it is correct other than Fernando's patronymic.

A. CASTRO

[don FERNANDO García, illegitimate son of GARCÍA King of Galicia & his wife ---] ([1073/90]-). Reilly[305] suggests that Fernando García de Castro may have been the illegitimate son of García King of Galicia, son of Fernando I King of Castile and León, born during his father's period of imprisonment, therefore after 1073. The chronology of this suggestion would be in doubt if don Fernando's son, don Gutierre, was a young adult in 1105 but, as explained below, this is difficult to sustain. No confirmation has yet been found in contemporary documentation that King García had an illegitimate child, so this theory must remain an interesting speculation.

same person as…? don FERNANDO García [de Hita/de Castro] (-[killed in battle] [1134]). Urraca Queen of Castile granted him the villas of Hita and Uceda. He acted as the queen's intermediary with her second husband Alfonso I "el Batallador" King of Aragon[306]. "Urracha…Ispanie regina, regis Aldefonsi regineque Constantie filia" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 26 Mar 1119, confirmed by "…Fernandus Garsie maior, Fernandus Garsie minor…"[307]. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that "Fernando Fernández, the governor of Hita" (presumably an error for Fernando García) was killed fighting the Muslims, the dating of this event being difficult from the context although it appears to have been before the death of Alfonso I King of Aragon (in 1134)[308].

[m firstly ([1085]) ---. No direct evidence has been found of this first marriage. However, it is possible, as shown below, that Fernando´s oldest son was a young adult in 1105. This would place his parents´ marriage in [1085]. If the suggested identity of Fernando´s wife Tigridia is correct as shown below, it is unlikely from a chronological point of view that she could have married that early, which would point to an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage.

m [firstly/secondly] ([1085]) doña TEGRIDIA ---, daughter of --- (-before 1119). "Ferrando Garciez" granted arras to "uxori meæ Estefania Ermegoz comitis Ermegodis filiæ", including over property inherited from "altera muliere Tigridia", by charter dated 12 Nov 1119[309]. Her marriage date is estimated on the basis of their older son being a young adult in 1105, although as shown below this is not necessarily correct. It is possible that she was Tegridia Martínez, daughter of don Martín Flaínez & his wife doña Sancha Fernández. This suggested co-relationship is based on the charter dated 21 Nov 1129, under which the brother of Tegridia Martínez "Comes Rodericus…comitis Martini filius" granted arras to "Vrrace Fernandi uxore mee legitime, Fernandi Garcie et infantisse domine Stephanie fillie", which was confirmed by "…Rodericus Fernandi sobrinus comitis Roderici, Gundisaluus Adefonsi comitis Roderici cognatus…"[310], together with the fact that Fernando names his earlier wife Tigridia in a charter dated 12 Nov 1119[311]. If the hypothesis is correct, the husband of Fernando´s daughter of Urraca would have been Tegridia´s brother.

m [secondly/thirdly] (contract 12 Nov 1119) as her first husband, ESTEFANIA de Urgell, daughter of ARMENGOL V "él de Mayeruca" Comte de Urgell & his wife doña María Pérez Señora de Valladolid (-after 1143). "Regina Don Urraka tocius Ispaniæ Ildefonsi magni Inperatoris filia" granted the villa of Cevico de la Torre to "mea cogermana Domna Estefania comitis Ermegodis filia" by charter dated 30 Jun 1119[312]. The family relationship between Estefania and Queen Urraca has not been established, unless it relates to the possible descent of Estefania´s first husband from the family of the kings of León. "Ferrando Garciez" granted arras to "uxori meæ Estefania Ermegoz comitis Ermegodis filiæ", including over property inherited from "altera muliere Tigridia", by charter dated 12 Nov 1119[313]. She married secondly (9 Sep 1135) conde don Rodrigo González de Lara Señor de Lara y Liebana. Alfonso VII King of Castile granted various properties to "comiti Roderico Gonzaluez et uxori tue comittisse Stephanie Armengol et…comiti Roderici Martinez et uxori tue comitisse Urraca" by charter dated Jul 1135[314]. "Comes Rudericus Gundisalui" granted arras to "coniugi mee comitissa domna Steuania" by charter dated 6 Sep 1135[315]. "Stephania…comitissa bonæ memoriæ Armengoldi comitis filiæ" founded the monastery of Santa María de Valbuena by charter dated 15 Feb 1143, witnessed by "domna Urraca Ferrandiz comitissa, Martinus Ferrandiz, domna Sancia Ferrandiz, Petrus Ferrandiz, Gutterius Ferrandiz, Rodericus Ferrandiz…"[316].

Fernando & his [first] wife had one child:

1. don GUTIERRE Fernández de Castro (-1166, bur monastery of San Cristobál de Ibeas). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Fernan Fernandez, D. Rodrigo Fernandez, D. Gutierre Fernandez, D. Sancha" as the children of "D. Fernando" and his wife "D. Maria Alvarez, hija del Conde D. Alvaro Minaya i de la condesa D. Milia Anzorez"[317]. [Torres Sevilla assumes that he was the same Gutierre Fernández who was recorded as confirming a deed of Alfonso VI King of Castile in 1105[318], and was mayordomo mayor of Queen Urraca from 15 Oct 1110 to 22 Jan 1117. Salazar Acha maintains that this second Gutierre Fernández was the probable son of Fernando Hermenegildez & his wife Juliana, suggesting that "chronological reasons" prevent his co-identity with Gutierre Fernández de Castro[319]. There are three reasons why Torres Sevilla´s co-identity theory is unlikely to be correct: (1) the unlikelihood of the same person holding the post of mayordomo (three times) over a period of 40 years; (2) the advanced age at which don Gutierre would have died, unusual by contemporary standards, although Torres Sevilla does not see this as insuperable[320]; and (3) the chronological difficulty it would introduce into the question of his father's royal origin, although this suggested origin is highly speculative in any case.] "Taresa Ordonez" granted half her property in Quintanilla Rodano, Sotopalacios and Quintana Fortuno to "Guter Fernandez et…Tota Diaz mea nepta…pro aver que dispense de Enderquina Alvarez tua mater et mea filia" by charter dated 5 Nov 1124[321]. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that "…Gutierre Fernández, his brother Rodrigo…" made peace with Alfonso VII King of Castile after his accession in 1126[322]. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that Alfonso VII King of Castile sent "Count Rodrigo Martínez and Gutierre Fernández" as his envoys to the "Saracen king in Rueda…Zafadola", which resulted in the surrender of Rueda to King Alfonso[323]. He was mayordomo mayor of Alfonso VII King of Castile Feb 1135 to 24 Oct 1138, and 17 Jun 1153 to 23 Jul 1155[324]. He was named as tutor of Infante don Sancho, the future Sancho III King of Castile, from his birth in 1134[325].

"Martinus Fernandez" sold various properties to "Gundisalvo Ferrandiz fratri meo" by charter dated 1156, the dating clause of which names "…Guter Ferrandez tenente Castro et Amaia…"[335]. King Sancho III named him as tutor of his young son, the future Alfonso VIII. This was challenged by the Lara family after the latter's accession in 1158, which triggered a war of rivalry in Castile between the two families, culminating in the exhumation of don Gutierre's body and trial after death for treason[336]. m (before 5 Nov 1124) doña TODA Díaz, daughter of don DIEGO Sánchez & his wife doña Enderquina Álvarez (-after 15 Feb 1149).

The primary source which confirms her father´s name has not yet been identified. According to Torres Sevilla[338], doña Toda Díaz was niece of García García de Aza but this is not compatible with the latter's family as set out above. Alfonso VII King of Castile granted the monastery of San Salvador de El Moral to "domno Guterro Frenandez et uxore vestra domna Toda" by charter dated 5 Apr 1139[339].

Ayala´s Crónica de Pedro I records that “el Conde Don Enrique” killed “Pero Carrillo, un Caballero de Castilla” in Aragon 1364 for saying that he “avia fama con Doña Juana su hermana del Conde, muger que fuera de Don Ferrando de Castro”[521]. m secondly (1367) as her second husband, doña LEONOR Enríquez, Señora de Melgar, Villalba y la Higuera, widow of don ALONSO Pérez de Guzmán, daughter of don ENRIQUE Enríquez Señor de Villalba y Nogales & his wife doña Urraca Ponce de León.

Neither of these affiliations appears satisfactory from a chronological point of view, assuming that the birth date of Enrique´s father is correctly estimated to [1246], although the second possibility seems more likely than the first. This second possibility is corroborated by Ayala´s Crónica de Pedro I which records that King Pedro in 1354 declared that “él lo mostraria que con derecho se podia partir de la...Doña Blanca, é que non era su muger” in order to marry “Doña Juana de Castro fija de Don Pedro de Castro que decian de la Guerra...muger que fuera de Don Diego de Haro fijo de Don Lope de Haro é nieto de Don Diego Señor de Vizcaya...”, adding that “Don Enrique Enriquez” was married to “Doña Urraca su tia de la dicha Doña Juana, hermana de Doña Isabel su madre” and that he supported the plan because the king granted him “el Alcazar de Jaen é el castillo de Dueñas é el castillo de Castro Xeriz”[531]. m don ENRIQUE Enríquez “el Mozo”, son of don ENRIQUE Enríquez [de Castilla] Señor de Puebla de los Infantes & his wife doña Estefanía Rodríguez de Ceballos, Señora de Vado de las Estacas y Villalba (-after 1354).]

Chapter 9. FAMILY of FERNANDO FERNÁNDEZ

1. FERNANDO --- (-before 8 Jul 1117). Conde. He is named "patris mei Fernandi comitis" in the charter of his son dated 8 Jul 1117 (see below)[666]. The father of Fernando Fernández has not yet been positively identified. The documentation shows three individuals named Fernando who were "conde" in the later part of the reign of King Alfonso VI and the early part of the reign of his daughter Queen Urraca: Fernando Muñoz, named as conde in Astorga in 1100; Fernando Díaz, who was killed at Uclés in 1108, son of Diego Fernández and his second wife Cristina Fernández; Fernando Vermúdez, son of Vermudo Ordóñez and his wife Sancha Eriz. Fernando Díaz and Fernando Vermúdez are both recording with children, who do not include a son named Fernando. The connection between Fernando Muñoz and Astorga provides an interesting possible link, considering that Infanta Elvira Alfonso, first wife of Fernando´s son Fernando Fernández, held property in the same area. m ---. The name of Fernando's wife is not known. [It is possible that she was Ildonza [Eslonza]: "La condesa Eslonza y sus hijos Fernando Fernández y Elvira Muñoz" sold property at Villanueva de Arriba, next to Muñeca, to "Pedro Rodríguez y a su mujer Cita" by charter dated 17 Aug 1087[667], although this date is early for Fernando Fernández who is shown below to be named, considering the date of his first known marriage.] Fernando & his wife had one child:

a) FERNANDO Fernández (-[1124/25]). The acts of the council of Oviedo, supposedly held in 1115, name "Comes Gometius Pelaji, Comes Fernandus Fernandi, Rodericus Fernandi, Petrus Pelaji, Didacus Munionis" as "ex campis Zamoræ et campi Tauri"[668]. Barton points out that this document is spurious and so the reliability of its contents should be considered accordingly[669], although it nevertheless appears to provide good indications of the geographical origin of contemporary nobility. "…Fernando Fernandiz…" subscribed the charter dated 26 Nov 1115 under which Queen Urraca donated half of Caneda and the monastery of Ledesma to Santiago de Compostela[670]. Barton cites a charter of Queen Urraca dated 20 Jan 1116 which names Fernando Fernández "de Toro"[671]. "Fernanz Fernanniz…et uxor mea infanta donna Gelvira filia regis Alfonsi" donated "quartem partem de monasterio de Ferreries…in Gallicia in terra de Lemes juxta Pantonem", inherited from his father and grandparents, to Cluny by charter dated 8 Jul 1117 made "pro anima patris mei Fernandi comitis", confirmed by "Gomez Pelaiz, Ferrandus Menendiz, Petrus Oveguis, Cutz Gonzaviz, Gonzalvus Assuriz"[672]. "…Comes dominus Fernandus de Campos…" subscribed the charter dated 26 Sep 1119 under which "Rex Dominus Adefonsus Hispanie ducis domini Reimundi et regine domine Urrace filius" donated property to the monastery of San Julián de Moraimo "in terra de Traba", with the consent of "domini Petri Galecie comitis"[673]. Barton identifies this subscriber as Conde Fernando Fernández[674]. The form of the document appears ponderous which suggests that it may be spurious. Barton suggests that Fernando died before 1126 as he is not named in the Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris among the nobles who paid homage to King Alfonso VII following his accession[675]. m firstly (before 8 Jul 1117, separated before 1121) as her second husband, doña ELVIRA Alfonso, widow of RAYMOND IV Comte de Toulouse, illegitimate daughter of ALFONSO VI King of Castile & León & his mistress doña Jimena Muñoz (-after 19 Jun [1156]). The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Jimena Muñoz" as the first of two concubines of King Alfonso, and their daughters "Elvira the wife of count Raymond of Toulouse…and Teresa the wife of Count Henry"[676]. Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her first child "before 1097". "Raimundus…comes et Provincie marchio" donated property to Saint-Victor, Marseille by charter dated 28 Jul 1094, also confirming donations by "Dulcis comitissa", signed by "Alvira comitissa"[677]. The bull of Pope Urban II dated 18 Feb 1095 announces that "Raimundus Tolosanus comes…cum uxore sua Hervira et filio Bertranno" abandoned his rights to altar offerings at the monastery of Saint-Gilles[678]. According to Guibert, Comte Raymond left on the First Crusade with his wife and son (both unnamed) "Qui quidem, naturali cuidam filio suo comitatu quem regebat relicto, propriam conjugem cum filio, quem ab ea exegerat, unico secum duxit"[679]. She left Palestine after her husband's death, arriving back in Toulouse with her infant son in 1108[680]. Her second marriage is deduced from the charter dated 8 Jul 1117 under which "Fernanz Fernanniz…et uxor mea infanta donna Gelvira filia regis Alfonsi" donated "quartem partem de monasterio de Ferreries…in Gallicia in terra de Lemes juxta Pantonem" to Cluny[681]. It is also indicated by the charter dated 18 Apr 1127 under which her mother "Ximena Munniz" donated property in "Trebalio et Turres" to "nepotis mei…Garcie Fernandiz"[682], and also by the charter dated 1201 under which her great-granddaughter "Domna Xemena Osoriz" donated her property in Valdejunco, Valdunquillo, Villa Velasco, Fontamian, Villa Sanz, Carvajal, Villela, Otero, Mozos, Valdescapa, Barriales, Valle Vaniego, Ranero and in tierra de Cea to Sahagún monastery, naming "aviam tuam Infantem Gelviram"[683], although the second document does not clarify which of the two "Infantas Elvira" is referred to. On the other hand, Reilly[684] says that doña Elvira, wife of Raymond IV Comte de Toulouse, did not return to Castile until after the death of Queen Urraca. As discussed in the document CASTILE & LEÓN KINGS, he maintains that the wife of don Fernando Fernández was Elvira who was the daughter of King Alfonso VI by "Elisabeth". As discussed above, it is more likely that the younger Elvira was the wife of Roger King of Sicily. Canal Sánchez-Pangín[685] concludes that the wife of don Fernando Fernández was indeed the widow of Raymond IV Comte de Toulouse. One difficulty is that Alphonse I Comte de Toulouse, son of Comte Raymond IV and doña Elvira, was declared of age only in 1121, although it is not known whether his mother acted as regent in Toulouse throughout his minority. The dating clauses of charters dated 24 Oct 1137, 1 Nov 1137, 20 Nov 1137, 6 Nov 1139, 1 Oct 1143, 1 Nov 1149, 6 Jun [1153], and 19 Jun [1156], which record donations to the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, name "…Imperante Ribera donna Gelvira Infante"[686]. "Infante dompna Gelvira…domini Adefonsi regis filia" donated "in territorio de Ripeira…villa de Nozeta" to the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, confirmed by "Didacus Fernandiz…quod…mater mea prefata infante domina Gelvira facit" and by "Adefonsus…Yspanie imperator…mater tere mee et filiorum eius…infans domina Sancia soror ipsius imperatoris", by charter dated 29 Apr 1150, subscribed by "Poncius comes…Osorius Martiniz comes…Nunno Petriz armiger regis…Vela Guterriz dominante Capreyra, Petro Roderiquiz, Roderico Roderiquiz, Petro Didaz…"[687]. m secondly (1121 before 16 Apr) doña SANCHA González, daughter of ---. Barton records that Conde Fernando granted arras to his "second" wife Sancha González by charter dated 16 Apr 1121, commenting that her origins are unknown[688]. The charter which he cites has not been seen. It is not known whether it states specifically that Sancha was the donor´s second wife or provides other definitive indications that the donor was the same person as the husband of Infanta Elvira Alfonso. Fernando & his first wife had three children:

i) don GARCÍA Fernández (-after 18 Apr 1127). "Ximena Munniz" donated property in "Trebalio et Turres" to "nepotis mei…Garcie Fernandiz" by charter dated 18 Apr 1127[689].

"Comes Osorius et uxor mea comitissa Taresia" granted revenue from various churches to the bishopric of Zamora "pro testamento quod domna infantissa Elvira fecit" by charter dated 16 Apr 1159[691]. After her husband's death, she retained control over the family lordship of Villalobos. She made grants of property to the Knights of St John 8 Dec 1161 and 9 Apr 1163[692]. m (before 28 Jan 1141) don OSORIO Martínez, son of conde don MARTÍN Alfonso & his wife doña Elvira Gómez (-1060).

iii) don DIEGO Fernández (-after 28 Oct 1155). The dating clauses of charters dated 9 Mar 1144, 2 Dec 1144, 29 Jul 1146, and 3 Mar 1149, under which the parish of Salceda donated their church to the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, names "…Didaco Fernandez imperante Ribeyra"[693]. "Infante dompna Gelvira…domini Adefonsi regis filia" donated "in territorio de Ripeira…villa de Nozeta" to the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, confirmed by "Didacus Fernandiz…quod…mater mea prefata infante domina Gelvira facit" and by "Adefonsus…Yspanie imperator…mater tere mee et filiorum eius…infans domina Sancia soror ipsius imperatoris", by charter dated 29 Apr 1150[694]. "Aldefonsus…tocius Hyspanie imperator…cum uxore mea imperatrice domna Rica et…filiis meis Sanctio et Ferrando regibus" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 28 Oct 1155, confirmed by "…Dicados Ferrandiz de Bonelas maiorinus in Burgis…"[695].

3. doña MAYOR Pérez (-after 23 Apr 1148). The order of confirmations in the charter dated 17 Sep 1114, under which Pedro Ansúrez donated property for the soul of his first wife (see above), suggests that the three daughters Mayor, Urraca and María were born in that order. "Maiora Petriz comitissa" confirmed the donation by "Comes Petrus de Assuriz et uxor mea comitissa domina Elo" to Santa María de Pamplona by charter dated 1110[781].

4. doña URRACA Pérez (-before 17 Sep 1114). The order of confirmations in the charter dated 17 Sep 1114, under which Pedro Ansúrez donated property for the soul of his first wife (see above), suggests that the three daughters Mayor, Urraca and María were born in that order. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1134 under which her daughter "Gelvira Sancii comitis et Urrace comitisse filia, et comitis Petris Ansuriz neptis…cum filio meo Sancio" donated property in Villa Abduz and Villalan to Sahagún monastery[798]. She presumably died before 17 Sep 1114 as she did not confirm the charter of that date under which her father donated property for her mother´s soul, which was signed by her three supposed children. m conde SANCHO ---. Sancho & his wife had three children:

a) don ANSUR Sánchez (-after 18 Sep 1114).

5. doña MARÍA Pérez (-after 1129). The order of confirmations in the charter dated 17 Sep 1114, under which Pedro Ansúrez donated property for the soul of his first wife (see above), suggests that the three daughters Mayor, Urraca and María were born in that order. Her origin is deduced from the charter dated 5 Apr 1129 under which "Comitissa Maior Petriz" donated property to the monastery of San Zoilo de Carrión naming "meo sobrino comite Ermengot"[806]. It is also suggested by a charter dated 1 Nov [1106/07] which records a gift by "comes Petrus" to "Ermengaudum nepotem suum"[807]. Monfar dates the marriage to before 21 May 1095, the date of a charter under which Conde Pedro donated property to Valladolid, confirmed by "conde don Fernan Ruiz de Castro, don Armengol conde de Urgel y el conde don Alvar Fañez Minaya" all of whom he says were sons-in-law of the donor[808]. Señora de Valladolid. As mentioned below, the order of confirmations in the charter dated 17 Sep 1114, under which María´s father donated property for the soul of her mother, suggests that María married secondly "Rodrigo" by whom she had two daughters. m [firstly] (before 21 May 1095) ARMENGOL [V] "él de Mayeruca" Conde de Urgel, son of ARMENGOL [IV] "él de Gerp" Conde de Urgel & his first wife Lucia --- ([1071/75]-14 Sep 1102). [m secondly don RODRIGO ---, son of ---. [children of second marriage:]

a) [doña EILO Rodríguez (-after 18 Sep 1114). "Comes Petrus Assur filius…mandante Saldania et Capizon" donated property to Valladolid Santa María, for the soul of "uxori meæ comitissa Eiloni", by charter dated 17 Sep 1114, confirmed by "…Eilo Rudrikiz, comes Ermen Gaudus, Enderkina Rudrikiz…"[809]. The order of the confirmations in this document suggests a relationship between the two sisters, Eilo Rodríguez and Enderquina Rodríguez, and "comes Ermen Gaudus" who is identified as Armengol VI Conde de Urgell, son of the donor´s daughter María. The probability is that María Pérez married secondly "Rodrigo", by whom she had two daughters, after the death of her first husband. "Comes Petrus Assur filius et […uxor mea] comitissa Eluira Sanccius filia" donated property to Valladolid Santa María, by charter dated 18 Sep 1114, confirmed by "…Ferrand Petriz, Eilo Rudrikiz eius uxor, Enderkina Rudrikiz…"[810]. m don FERNANDO Pérez, son of don PEDRO --- & his wife --- (-after 18 Sep 1114). "Comes Petrus Assur filius et […uxor mea] comitissa Eluira Sanccius filia" donated property to Valladolid Santa María, by charter dated 18 Sep 1114, confirmed by "…Ferrand Petriz, Eilo Rudrikiz eius uxor, Enderkina Rudrikiz…"[811].]

b) [doña ENDERQUINA Rodríguez (-after 18 Sep 1114). "Comes Petrus Assur filius…mandante Saldania et Capizon" donated property to Valladolid Santa María, for the soul of "uxori meæ comitissa Eiloni", by charter dated 17 Sep 1114, confirmed by "…Eilo Rudrikiz, comes Ermen Gaudus, Enderkina Rudrikiz…"[812]. The order of the confirmations in this document suggests a relationship between the two sisters, Eilo Rodríguez and Enderquina Rodríguez, and "comes Ermen Gaudus" who is identified as Armengol VI Conde de Urgell, son of the donor´s daughter María. The probability is that María Pérez married secondly "Rodrigo", by whom she had two daughters, after the death of her first husband. "Comes Petrus Assur filius et […uxor mea] comitissa Eluira Sanccius filia" donated property to Valladolid Santa María, by charter dated 18 Sep 1114, confirmed by "…Ferrand Petriz, Eilo Rudrikiz eius uxor, Enderkina Rudrikiz…"[813].]

6. [doña MILIA Ansúrez . The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "Conde D. Alvaro Fernandez Minaya, que tuvo del Rey en tenencia a Castroxerez" married "D. la Condesa D. Milia Anzores, hija del Conde Don Pedro Anzores de Caton"[814]. It does not appear that this parentage can be correct as Milia is not named as the daughter of Pedro Ansúrez in any of the documentation relating to the family. m don ÁLVARO Fernández Minaya, son of don FERNANDO Laínez & his wife doña Jimena Núñez.]

Chapter 12. GIRÓN

1. don TELLO --- (-after 1066). m --- Muñoz, daughter of Conde don MUNIO Muñoz & his wife ---. Queen Urraca granted the "villa de Corbillos de Sobarriba" to "Tello y Fernando Téllez su hermano" by charter dated 1112 which states that the property had belonged to "su abuelo el conde Munio Muñoz"[815]. Tello & his wife had two children:

a) don FERNANDO Téllez (-after 1112). "…Fernando Téllez, Tello Fernández, Fernando Fernández" subscribed the charter dated 1110 under which Queen Urraca granted "las villas de Foramnata y San Estebán en el territorio de Frómista" to "la condesa Enderquina"[816]. Queen Urraca granted the "villa de Corbillos de Sobarriba" to "Tello y Fernando Téllez su hermano" by charter dated 1112 which states that the property had belonged to "su abuelo el conde Munio Muñoz"[817]. m ---. The name of Fernando´s wife is not known. Fernando & his wife had two children:

i) don TELLO Fernández (-killed in battle Aceca 1133). "…Fernando Téllez, Tello Fernández, Fernando Fernández" subscribed the charter dated 1110 under which Queen Urraca granted "las villas de Foramnata y San Estebán en el territorio de Frómista" to "la condes Enderquina"[818]. "Tello Fernández dominante La Torre de Monmojon" is named in a charter of Queen Urraca dated 20 Jan 1116[819]. m [doña MARÍA, daughter of --- (-after 28 May 1172). "Pedro y Orovida Martínez" sold "su heredad en Becerrilejo" to "doña María y a sus hijos Fernando y Gutierre Téllez" by charter dated 7 Apr 1171[820]. "Marina y sus hijos Fernando y Gutierre Téllez" exchanged properties by charter dated 28 May 1172[821]. It is not certain that María/Marina was the widow of Tello Férnandez. If she was the mother of Gutierre Téllez and Urraca Téllez who are shown below (and who appear to have been the children of Tello Fernández), she would have been extremely old in 1172.] Tello & his wife had [three] children:

(a) [don FERNANDO Téllez (-after 28 May 1172). "Pedro y Orovida Martínez" sold "su heredad en Becerrilejo" to "doña María y a sus hijos Fernando y Gutierre Téllez" by charter dated 7 Apr 1171[822]. "Marina y sus hijos Fernando y Gutierre Téllez" exchanged properties by charter dated 28 May 1172[823]. As pointed out above, the chronology is unfavourable for Fernando, son of Maria/Marina, to have been the son of Tello Fernández, given the likely birth dates of the children of the latter.]

(b) don GUTIERRE Téllez ([1100/10]-after 1 Sep 1166). Alfonso VIII King of Castile granted "la mitad del castillo y la villa de Aceca" to "don Gutierre Téllez y a su mujer doña Urraca" by charter dated 1 Sep 1166[824]. ["Pedro y Orovida Martínez" sold "su heredad en Becerrilejo" to "doña María y a sus hijos Fernando y Gutierre Téllez" by charter dated 7 Apr 1171[825]. "Marina y sus hijos Fernando y Gutierre Téllez" exchanged properties by charter dated 28 May 1172[826]. It is not certain that these two charters could refer to Gutierre Téllez, presumed son of Tello Fernández, as his mother "doña María" would have been extremely old at those dates. In addition, there are three charters, apparently referring to the same person, which are far too late to relate to Gutierre, son of Tello Fernández: "Gutier Téllez" exchanged half of a property with the monastery of Villamayor by charter dated Jul 1199[827]; "Gutier Téllez" sold half of Santa María de Cigoñera to the monastery of Villamayor by charter dated 1200[828]; "Gutier Téllez" sold properties to the monastery of Villamayor by charter dated May 1211[829].]

- see below.

(c) doña URRACA Téllez ([1100/10]-after 1156). Salazar y Acha records her parentage and marriage[830]. Her birth date is estimated based on her having five grandchildren in 1156. "Diego Muñoz y su mujer Urraca Téllez…con sus hijos…Bosone y Mayor Muñoz…y sus nietos Ínigo Gustioz, Diego Gustioz, Fernando Pérez, Mayor Gustioz, Urraca Gustioz" donated property in San Martín de los Álamos to the monastery of San Zoilo de Carrión by charter dated 1156[831]. m don DIEGO Muñoz, son of don MUNIO Díaz & his wife --- (-after 1156).

ii) don FERNANDO Fernández (-after 1110). "…Fernando Téllez, Tello Fernández, Fernando Fernández" subscribed the charter dated 1110 under which Queen Urraca granted "las villas de Foramnata y San Estebán en el territorio de Frómista" to "la condes Enderquina"[832].

b) don TELLO Téllez (-after 1112). "Tello Telliz y su mujer Mayor Suariz" donated property "en la villa…Oterolo juxta flumen Aratogie, territorio Castro Froila" to "Juan Flainiz" by charter dated 21 Dec 1111[833]. Queen Urraca granted the "villa de Corbillos de Sobarriba" to "Tello y Fernando Téllez su hermano" by charter dated 1112 which states that the property had belonged to "su abuelo el conde Munio Muñoz"[834]. m doña MAYOR Suárez, daughter of --- (-after 21 Dec 1111). "Tello Telliz y su mujer Mayor Suariz" donated property "en la villa…Oterolo juxta flumen Aratogie, territorio Castro Froila" to "Juan Flainiz" by charter dated 21 Dec 1111[835].

It is possible that the following family is the same one as is shown above:

1. don TELLO (-after 1060). m ---. The name of Tello´s wife is not known. Tello & his wife had three children:

a) don ALFONSO Téllez (-after 1116). Salazar y Acha states that Alfonso Téllez was the son of Tello Gutiérrez[836], but it does not appear that this can be correct. Salcedo states that, according to Salazar y Castro, the father of Alfonso Téllez was "conde don Tello emparentado con los reyes de León" living in 1060, whose sons were "Alfonso, Tello y Hernán" who all assisted at the donation of the palacio de Ceifa to the archbishop of Santiago dated 1103 and at the assembly held at San Isidro de Dueñas in 1115 with Queen Urraca[837]. Mayordomo of Alfonso VI King of Castile 2 Jan 1102 to 23 Mar 1103. Señor de Montealegre 1116.] m ---. The name of Alfonso's wife is not known. Alfonso & his wife had [one child]:

i) [daughter . Salcedo states that a daughter of Alfonso Téllez was the mother of "Pedro Bernardez de San Fagund, que es considerado el padre de don Tello Pérez"[838]. m don BERNARDO ---, son of ---.]

b) don TELLO Téllez (-after 1115). Salcedo states that, according to Salazar y Castro, the father of Alfonso Téllez was "conde don Tello emparentado con los reyes de León" living in 1060, whose sons were "Alfonso, Tello y Hernán" who all assisted at the donation of the palacio de Ceifa to the archbishop of Santiago dated 1103 and at the assembly held at San Isidro de Dueñas in 1115 with Queen Urraca[839].

c) don FERNANDO Téllez (-after 1115). Salcedo states that, according to Salazar y Castro, the father of Alfonso Téllez was "conde don Tello emparentado con los reyes de León" living in 1060, whose sons were "Alfonso, Tello y Hernán" who all assisted at the donation of the palacio de Ceifa to the archbishop of Santiago dated 1103 and at the assembly held at San Isidro de Dueñas in 1115 with Queen Urraca[840].

don GUTIERRE Téllez, son of [don TELLO Fernández] & his wife [doña María ---] ([1100/10]-after 1 Sep 1166). The parentage shown here for Gutierre Téllez is attractive because of the connection with Aceca, where his supposed father was killed in battle. According to Salazar y Acha, the Girón family descended from Tello Gutiérrez, who was mayordomo mayor of Alfonso VI King of Castile between 1071 and 1075[841]. However, this appears to be chronologically improbable as he is last mentioned in 1077. Alfonso VIII King of Castile granted "la mitad del castillo y la villa de Aceca" to "don Gutierre Téllez y a su mujer doña Urraca" by charter dated 1 Sep 1166[842].

m doña URRACA Díaz, daughter of ---. Alfonso VIII King of Castile granted "la mitad del castillo y la villa de Aceca" to "don Gutierre Téllez y a su mujer doña Urraca" by charter dated 1 Sep 1166[843].

Gutierre & his wife had three children:

1. don RODRIGO Gutiérrez Girón (-summer 1193, bur Palencia Cathedral). The dating clause of a charter dated 19 Jul 1166 names "Rodrigo Girón en Monzón"[844]. "Rodrigo Guterre, Petrus Guterri frater suus…" confirmed a charter dated 28 Oct 1169[845]. Mayordomo mayor of Alfonso VIII King of Castile 30 Jul 1173 to 28 Jul 1193[846].

- see below.

2. don ÁLVARO Gutiérrez (-killed in battle Lobregal 1160). According to Sánchez de Mora, "Álvaro Gutiérrez, hermano de Rodrigo Gutiérrez" was killed in 1160 at the battle of Lobregat, during which his brother Rodrigo was captured[847].

3. don PEDRO Gutiérrez (-after 1227). "Rodrigo Guterre, Petrus Guterri frater suus…" confirmed a charter dated 28 Oct 1169[848]. "…Petrus Guterri…" subscribed, for Alfonso VIII King of Castile, the charter dated 21 Mar 1181 which records a peace treaty between King Alfonso VIII and Fernando II King of León[849]. "Pedro Gutierrez con María Boso" donated a hospital at Cuenca to the Order of Santiago by charter dated 13 Mar 1182[850]. m doña MARÍA Bosón, daughter of don BOSÓN Díaz & his wife doña Urraca Pérez (-after May 1227). "Pedro Gutierrez con María Boso" donated a hospital at Cuenca to the Order of Santiago by charter dated 13 Mar 1182[851]. Pedro & his wife had two children:

a) don DIEGO Pérez (-after 1222).

b) don FERNANDO Pérez (-after May 1227). "Don Rodrigo Rodríguez Girón, Fernando Pérez hijo de Pedro Gutiérrez y María Bueso…" witnessed the charter dated May 1227 under which "el conde Gonzalo y su esposa la condesa María" confirmed a donation to Benevivere made by "don Suero"[852].

don RODRIGO Gutiérrez Girón, son of don GUTIERRE Téllez & his wife doña Urraca Díaz (-summer 1193, bur Palencia Cathedral). The dating clause of a charter dated 19 Jul 1166 names "Rodrigo Girón en Monzón"[853]. "Rodrigo Guterre, Petrus Guterri frater suus…" confirmed a charter dated 28 Oct 1169[854].

"Álvaro Ruiz de Mansilla y sus hermanos…Pedro, Fernando, Urraca, María y Teresa Rodríguez" donated property in Vega de San Miguel, between Madrigal and Tornadijo, to "Pedro Rodríguez" by charter dated Nov 1167[858]. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 22 Nov 1191 under which "Rodrigo y su mujer Ximena" donated half of the castle of Dueñas to the Order of Calatrava, leaving the other half to his children by "su primer mujer María de Guzman"[859].

Chapter 14. LARA

The Lara family has been studied in detail by Simon Doubleday[1069]. The family between the 11th and 13th centuries is the subject of a doctoral thesis by Antonio Sánchez de Moro[1070]. According to Salazar y Castro[1071], the Lara family line was founded by Nuño González, son of Gonzalo Fernández de Castilla, who was the eldest son of Fernando González Conde Castilla & his first wife Sancha Sánchez de Navarra. Gonzalo Núñez, who died in 1103 and is shown below, would have been his great grandson, son of Nuño González, grandson of Gonzalo Núñez. Menéndez Pidal suggests[1072] that Gonzalo Núñez [de Lara] was the son of Nuño Salvadórez, brother of Gonzalo Salvadórez, great grandsons of Fernando González Conde de Castilla descended from his younger son García I Conde de Castilla, although Torres cites no sources on which this speculation is based[1073].

A. LARA

Don GONZALO Núñez, son of NUÑO/MUNIO --- & his wife --- ([1050/55][1074]-after 12 Dec 1105). His birth date range is estimated from the estimated birth date of his son Pedro, and his first known subscription to a charter of the monastery of Oña dated 12 May 1075[1075]. The parentage of Gonzalo Núñez is not known. It appears that his relationship with the Salvadórez family was first proposed in the 17th century by Fray Prudencio de Sandoval, who suggests that he was the son of Nuño Álvarez supposed son of Álvaro Salvadorez[1076]. However, this hypothesis does not appear consistent with Gonzalo´s estimated date of birth. Menéndez Pidal suggested[1077] that Gonzalo was the son of a brother of Gonzalo Salvadórez, great grandson of Fernando González Conde de Castilla, whom he suggests was named Nuño Salvadórez (about whose existence there is no other indication), although Torres cites no sources on which this speculation is based[1078]. Sánchez de Mora suggests that Gonzalo Núñez was the son of Munio González, brother of Salvador González[1079]. If the birth date of his son Pedro is correctly estimated to [1085] (see below), it appears chronologically more appropriate that Gonzalo belonged to the generation which succeeded Gonzalo Salvadórez, assuming that he was a member of the Salvadórez family in the first place which is not beyond doubt. "Gundissalvo Nunnez…cum uxore mea dompna Goto et mea cognate dompna Urraca et dompna Ariel Nunniz" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1087[1080]. A possible clue as to his origin is provided by the reference to his relative in this charter, but she has yet been definitively identified. Sánchez de Mora suggests[1081] that she was the Urraca who is named in the charter dated 1087 under which "Gundissalvo Nunnez…cum uxore mea dompna Goto et mea cognate dompna Urraca et dompna Ariel Nunniz" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla[1082], and therefore the sister-in-law of Gonzalo Núñez de Lara assuming that her identification as suggested by Torres is correct (see below). Tenente of Lara and Auxonia between 1089 and 1094[1083]. "Alfonsus rex" confirmed donations of property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 25 Nov 1089, witnessed by "…sennor Goncalvo Nunnez de Lara…"[1084]. "Senior Gonzalvo Nunnez et uxor mea domna Goto, dominantes Lara…cum filiis nostris" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo by charter dated 1095[1085]. "Gundisalbus Nunniz cum coniuge mea Domna Goto" donated property to Sahagún monastery on "puellam Taresam" entering the monastery of San Pedro de Molinos as a nun by charter dated 11 Apr 1095[1086]. His last known subscription is a charter of the monastery of Oña dated 12 Dec 1105[1087].

m doña GOTO, daughter of ---. "Gundissalvo Nunnez…cum uxore mea dompna Goto et mea cognate dompna Urraca et dompna Ariel Nunniz" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1087[1088]. "Senior Gonzalvo Nunnez et uxor mea domna Goto, dominantes Lara…cum filiis nostris" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de Cogollo by charter dated 1095[1089]. Torres suggests that she was doña GOTO Núñez, daughter of don NUÑO Álvarez & his wife doña María Gutiérrez[1090]. According to Salazar y Castro[1091], she was the daughter of Gonzalo Salvadórez (see above). "Gundisalbus Nunniz cum coniuge mea Domna Goto" donated property to Sahagún monastery on "puellam Taresam" entering the monastery of San Pedro de Molinos as a nun by charter dated 11 Apr 1095[1092]. Gonzalo & his wife had [seven] children:

1. doña TERESA González . "Gundisalbus Nunniz cum coniuge mea Domna Goto" donated property to Sahagún monastery on "puellam Taresam" entering the monastery of San Pedro de Molinos as a nun by charter dated 11 Apr 1095[1093]. She is cited by Montenegro[1094].

2. don PEDRO González ([1080/85]-killed Bayonne 16 Oct 1130). "P[etrus] Gallecie comes…cum fratre meo obtimate R necnon sororibus meis…sanctimonialis Munina atque Visclavara" donated "monasterium Sancti Martini de Juvia" to Cluny by charter 14 Dec 1113 confirmed by "Froyla Vimaraci, Menendo Vimaraic, Menendo Solinizi, Comes Gugues, Comes Munio Pelagis, comes Rudericus Veilazi"[1095]. Conde 1110.

3. don RODRIGO González de Lara (-Jerusalem after 1143). "P[etrus] Gallecie comes…cum fratre meo obtimate R necnon sororibus meis…sanctimonialis Munina atque Visclavara" donated "monasterium Sancti Martini de Juvia" to Cluny by charter 14 Dec 1113 confirmed by "Froyla Vimaraci, Menendo Vimaraic, Menendo Solinizi, Comes Gugues, Comes Munio Pelagis, comes Rudericus Veilazi"[1096]. There are references to "Rodrigo González" as Alférez of Alfonso VI King of Castile between 29 Jan 1078 and 9 Jun 1081, but these must refer to a different person if the estimated birth date of Rodrigo's older brother Pedro is correct as shown above. Señor de Lara y Liabana. Conde in the valley of the Río Miera and in Asturias de Santillana 1104 to 11 Aug 1111[1097]. "Urracha…Ispanie regina, regis Aldefonsi regineque Constantie filia" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 26 Mar 1119, confirmed by "…Petrus Gonsalvi comes, Rodericus Gonsalvi…"[1098]. "Comite domno Roderico Gonzalvus cum uxore mea Sandecia prolis filia regis Adephonsus" donated the monastery of San Mames to Santa María de Piasca by charter dated "mense Iulii, Era 1100" (misdated)[1099]. Conde in the lands beyond the Río Miera, to Aguilar de Campoó by 1125. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris names "the Castilians Count Pedro de Lara and his brother Count Rodrigo González" as leaders of the opponents of Alfonso VII King of Castile on his accession in 1126[1100]. He rebelled against Alfonso VII King of Castile in 1131, physically attacking the king on the banks of the Pisuerga River[1101]. Restored to King Alfonso's good favour, he was appointed governor of Toledo in 1136. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that, after disputes arose once more, Rodrigo González was forced to travel to Jerusalem. On his return to Spain in 1139, he stayed at the court of the taifa King of Valencia having been refused entry to Castile, but caught leprosy and left again for Jerusalem where he died[1102]. "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[1103]. m firstly (1120 or 1122) Infanta doña SANCHA de Castilla, daughter of don ALFONSO VI King of Castile and León & his fifth wife Isabel née Zaïda --- ([1120/16 Mar 1104]-after 10 May 1125). The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Sancha the wife of count Rodrigo and Elvira who married Duke Roger of Sicily" as the daughters of King Alfonso and his fourth "legitimate wife…Elisabeth"[1104]. Both daughters are named in a charter dated 16 Mar 1104[1105]. In view of the dates of their marriages, it is unlikely that they were born much before this date. This suggests that their mother may have been King Alfonso's fifth wife, formerly known by her Muslim name Zaïda, although if their estimated birth dates are correct there would have been an interval of several years between their births and the birth of their older brother Sancho, which seems surprising. "Comite domno Roderico Gonzalvus cum uxore mea Sandecia prolis filia regis Adephonsus" donated the monastery of San Mames to Santa María de Piasca by charter dated "mense Iulii, Era 1100" (misdated)[1106]. m secondly (before Jul 1135) as her second husband, ESTEFANIA de Urgell, widow of don FERNANDO García [de Castro] Señor de Hita y Uceda, daughter of ARMENGOL [V] Comte de Urgell & his wife doña María Pérez Señora de Valladolid (-after 15 Feb 1143). "Regina Don Urraka tocius Ispaniæ Ildefonsi magni Inperatoris filia" granted the villa of Cevico de la Torre to "mea cogermana Domna Estefania comitis Ermegodis filia" by charter dated 30 Jun 1119[1107]. The family relationship between Estefania and Queen Urraca has not been established, unless it relates to the possible descent of Estefania´s first husband from the family of the kings of León. "Ferrando Garciez" granted arras to "uxori meæ Estefania Ermegoz comitis Ermegodis filiæ", including over property inherited from "altera muliere Tigridia", by charter dated 12 Nov 1119[1108].

"Comes Rudericus Gundisalui" granted arras to "coniugi mee comitissa domna Steuania" by charter dated 6 Sep 1135[1110]. "Stephania…comitissa bonæ memoriæ Armengoldi comitis filiæ" founded the monastery of Santa María de Valbuena by charter dated 15 Feb 1143, witnessed by "domna Urraca Ferrandiz comitissa, Martinus Ferrandiz, domna Sancia Ferrandiz, Petrus Ferrandiz, Gutterius Ferrandiz, Rodericus Ferrandiz…"[1111].

a) [don RODRIGO Rodríguez . Salazar y Castro records his parentage[1112]. m ---. The name of Rodrigo´s wife is not known. Rodrigo & his wife had two children:]

i) [don RODRIGO Rodríguez (-after 1219). According to Salazar y Castro, Rodrigo Rodríguez, husband of Inés Pérez, was the son of Rodrigo Rodríguez [de Lara][1113]. However, the primary source documentation suggests that Rodrigo Rodríguez was a member of the Girón family, where he is shown in the present document.

ii) [don SANCHA Rodríguez de Lara . Salazar y Castro records her parentage and marriage, citing a charter dated 1200 under which "domna Sancia Roderici…cum fratre meo Roderico Roderici" donated property in la villa de Peñalva to the monastery of San Andrés de Valveni, with the consent of "Gonzalo Roderici marito meo"[1114]. m as his first wife, don GONZALO Rodríguez Giron, son of don RODRIGO Gutiérrez Girón & his first wife doña María Rodríguez ([1165]-before 1234).]

b) don PEDRO Rodríguez (-1180). Pedro Rodríguez “filius comitis Ruderici Gonsaluez” transferred properties to the bishop of Burgos by charter dated Mar 1166[1115]. m doña MENCIA López, daughter of don LOPE Díaz Conde de Haro, Señor de Vizcaya & his second wife doña Aldonza Ruiz de Castro (-after 15 May 1207). “Sancia Lopez…comitissa domna Mencia…Urraca Lopez…Aldonza Lopez…Elvira Lopez…Don Garcia Lopez…Stephania Lopez monacha…Tota Lopez…Maria Lopez…Diago Lopez” donated property to the monastery of Santa María de Cañas by charter dated Sep 1174[1116]. "Domna Alduenza cometissa…olim…domni Lupi comitis uxor" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1187, witnessed by "domnus Didacus Lupiz, domna Mencia cometissa, domna Alduenza, domna Tota Camensis abbatissa, domnus Sancius Lupiz…"[1117]. “Cometissa dompna Mencía...” confirmed the charter dated 15 May 1207 under which “La condesa Aldonza” donated property in Villavidel and San Miguel de Camino to S. Marcos de León[1118].

c) doña ELVIRA Rodríguez de Lara (-8 Aug 1159). "Ermengaudus Urgelensis comes…cum coniuge mea Elvira Rodriguez" donated property to Valladolid Santa María dated 7 Sep 1135, as evidenced in a charter of Queen doña Violante dated 15 Mar 1276[1119]. "Ermengaudus…comes Urgelli et marchio cum domna comitissa coniux mea…Helvire Rodriz atque Ermengaudus iunioris filio meo" donated property to Santa Maria de Poblet by charter dated 23 Feb 1139[1120]. m (before 1135) as his second wife, ARMENGOL [VI] "el Castellano" Comte de Urgell, son of ARMENGOL [V] Comte de Urgell & his wife doña María Pérez Señora de Valladolid (Valladolid 1096-28 Jun 1154, bur Nuestra Señora de Valbuena).

d) daughter. According to Reilly, two daughters had been born of Rodrigo's first marriage by 10 May 1125[1121]. However, Farmerie and Taylor say that don Pedro and doña Elvira were the only children of don Rodrigo González de Lara[1122]. Don Rodrigo González joined with "his daughters" by his first marriage in 1125 in a donation to the monastery of Vega[1123].

4. doña MUÑINA .

5. doña VISCLAVARA .

6. doña MARÍA González (-after 7 Feb 1140). Íñigo Jiménez Señor de ambos Cameros y el valle de Arnedo and his wife María González donated property to San Prudencio de Monte Laturce by charter dated 8 Jun 1109[1126]. "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[1127]. m as his first wife, ÍÑIGO Jiménez Señor de los Cameros, son of JIMENO --- & his wife --- (-after 1145).

7. [daughter . "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D.

The family relationships between Rodrigo González de Lara, the main donor, and "consanguinibus meis" have been traced except in the case of the three presumed sisters "…Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz". The connection between these sisters and the Aza family is indicated by the sister Mayor donating property, in the charter dated 24 May 1182 (see below), which had previously been donated by their supposed father. However, no close relationship between Rodrigo González de Lara and either García García de Aza or his known wife Sancha Pérez de Traba has yet been found. One explanation for the presence of the three sisters in this document is that their mother was a close relative of the Lara family, maybe the sister of Rodrigo González. This would also explain the absence of the other known children of García García de Aza in the document, on the assumption that they were born from his marriage to Sancha Pérez and so were not directly related to Rodrigo González.] [m as his first wife, don GARCÍA García de Aza, son of conde don GARCÍA Ordóñez, Tenente en Nájera y Grañón & his second wife doña Eva --- (1106-16 Dec 1160).]

don PEDRO González, son of don GONZALO Núñez & his wife doña Goto [Núñez] ([1080/85]-killed Bayonne 16 Oct 1130). “Pedro González” was Alférez of Alfonso VI King of Castile [1089 to 1091], and 30 Sep 1107 to 10 Sep 1109[1129], although it is assumed that the former citations refer to a different person assuming that Pedro's birth date is correctly estimated as shown here. Named armiger regis by the king in 1098 and 1108[1130]. Tenente of Lara from 1107 to 1129, of Peñafiel in 1113. Conde 1110. "Urraca…tocius Ispanie regina" confirmed rights of the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated Aug 1110, confirmed by "…Petrus Gonzalvez comes de Metina…"[1131].

After the death of Queen Urraca in 1126, he allied himself with Alfonso I King of Aragon. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris names "the Castilians Count Pedro de Lara and his brother Count Rodrigo González" as leaders of the opponents of Alfonso VII King of Castile on his accession in 1126[1135]. He reluctantly submitted to the authority of Alfonso VII King of Castile, but was later banished. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that Alfonso VII King of Castile captured "Count Pedro de Lara and his son-in-law Count Bertran" at Palencia and imprisoned them at León until they surrendered all their castles[1136]. The same source records that Pedro left for Bayonne to join the king of Aragon, where he challenged Alphonse Jourdain Comte de Toulouse to a duel, broke his arm after falling from his horse, and died a few days later[1137].

m ([late 1108/1109]) as her second husband, doña EVA, widow of conde don GARCÍA Ordóñez, daughter of --- (-after 1147). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "Conde D. Pedro" married "D. Eva"[1138]. According to Salazar y Castro[1139], she was doña Eva Pérez de Traba, daughter of don Pedro Froílaz de Traba & his first wife doña Urraca Fróilaz. Barton[1140] says there is no documentary proof to substantiate this claim. Menéndez Pidal de Navascués[1141] suggests that she was a countess of French origin, Szabolcs de Vajay and Salazar[1142] suggesting more specifically that she was the daughter of Aimery II Vicomte de Rochechouart whose mother was named Eva, and whose name in the form "Almanricus" may have been the origin of the name "Manrique" given to her son by her second marriage. It is all the more improbable that doña Eva was the daughter of don Pedro Froílaz because her son by her first husband married one of don Pedro's younger daughters, who would have been his aunt if the relationship was correct. She names her children (in order) Manrique, Álvaro, Nuño, Elvira, María and Milia in a charter dated 1147[1143].

Mistress (1): [1112/14] doña URRACA Queen of Castile and León, daughter of don ALFONSO VI King of Castile and León & his third wife Berta de Bourgogne-Comté (late 1080[1144]-Saldaña 8 Mar 1126, bur León, Monastery of San Isidro). The Crónica Latina records that the queen accepted “la excesiva familiaridad del conde Pedro de Lara, padre del conde Malrico, del conde Nuño y del conde Álvaro” and that it was said that they had “un hijo llamado Fernando Hurtado”[1145]. Szabolcs de Vajay states that there is no evidence for a secret marriage between Queen Urraca and don Pedro González de Lara[1146].

Pedro & his wife had seven children:

1. don MANRIQUE Pérez de Lara ([1110]-killed in battle Garcianarro 9 Jul 1164, bur Cistercian abbey of Santa María de Huerta).

He was killed by don Fernán Ruíz de Castro in the battle of Huete[1158]. m (1153) ERMESINDE de Narbonne, daughter of AIMERY [II] Vicomte de Narbonne & his [second wife Ermesinde ---] (-7 Jan 1177, bur Santa María de Huerta). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "D. Manrique de Lara" married "D. Hermesenda, hija de D. Almerique el primer señor de Narbonna"[1159]. “Ermessenda comitissa…quondam uxor Almarrici comitis…cum filiis meis…domno Amelrico et domno Petro atque Guillelmo et domna Maria et domna Sancia et domna Ermengard” donated property to Burgos cathedral by charter dated 14 Aug 1164[1160]. “Armesen comitissa, uxor comitis Almarrich et filia Aimerich de Narbonna” donated property “Arandilla” to the monastery of Huerta by charter dated 14 Mar 1167[1161].

"Aimericus de Narbona" donated property by charter dated 29 Jun 1177[1166].

b) don PEDRO Manrique de Lara (-Jan 1202, bur Santa María de Huerta). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "Conde D. Pedro de Molina, D. Mafalda Manrique, D.

Manrique de Lara" and his wife "D. Hermesenda, hija de D. Almerique el primer señor de Narbonna", another passage recording that "D. Alonso Enriquez" King of Portugal married "D. Mafalda Manrique hija del Conde D. Manrique de Lara"[1169]. A Chronica Breve also records that King Alfonso I married "dona Maffalda Manrique, filha do conde dom Manrrique de Lara e senhor de Mollina e de dona Ermesenda filha do Almerique primeiro senhor de Barbona"[1170]. The sources clearly misrecord the parentage of the wife of Afonso I King of Portugal. However, it is not known whether this means that Mafalda Manrique, daughter of Manrique Pérez de Lara, never existed at all.]

e) doña MARÍA Manrique . The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "Conde D. Pedro de Molina, D. Mafalda Manrique, D. Maria Manrique", another passage recording that "D. Diego Lopez" married "D. Maria Manrique" who left him "con un herrero en Burgos"[1171]. “Ermessenda comitissa…quondam uxor Almarrici comitis…cum filiis meis…domno Amelrico et domno Petro atque Guillelmo et domna Maria et domna Sancia et domna Ermengard” donated property to Burgos cathedral by charter dated 14 Aug 1164[1172].

f) [doña MAYOR [Amilia] Manrique (-after 27 May 1182). Salazar y Castro suggests that the wife of Gómez González was doña Mayor [Amilia] Manrique, daughter of conde don Manrique Pérez & his wife Ermesinde Ctss de Narbonne[1176]. Barton records that she confirmed a grant of property by her supposed sister doña María Manrique to the see of Burgos 27 May 1182[1177]. However, it is likely that this refers to the same person as Gómez´s wife named Milia. The absence of a daughter named Mayor from the charter of her supposed mother dated 14 Aug 1164 also suggests that this affiliation may not be correct, although the use of the name Manrique for one of his sons suggests that it is right. m don GÓMEZ González de Manzanedo, son of --- (-12 Oct 1182).]

g) doña SANCHA Manrique (-after 11 Mar 1187). “Ermessenda comitissa…quondam uxor Almarrici comitis…cum filiis meis…domno Amelrico et domno Petro atque Guillelmo et domna Maria et domna Sancia et domna Ermengard” donated property to Burgos cathedral by charter dated 14 Aug 1164[1178].

9. don FERNANDO Pérez de Lara "Furtado" ([1120/Oct 1123]-after 30 Aug 1156). The Crónica Latina records that the queen accepted “la excesiva familiaridad del conde Pedro de Lara, padre del conde Malrico, del conde Nuño y del conde Álvaro” and that it was said that they had “un hijo llamado Fernando Hurtado”[1198]. “Fernandus Petri minor filius” confirmed a charter dated 4 Nov 1123 under which Queen Urraca donated property to León[1199]. Señor de Escarrona, Cueto, Mendivíl y Martioda. The Chronicon Lusitanum names “…Fernandum Furtado fratrem Imperatoris…” among those in the army of “Imperator D.

don PEDRO Manrique de Lara, son of conde don MANRIQUE Pérez de Lara & his wife Ermesinde Ctss de Narbonne (-Jan 1202, bur Santa María de Huerta). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "Conde D. Pedro de Molina, D. Mafalda Manrique, D. Maria Manrique" as the children of "D. Manrique de Lara" and his wife "D. Hermesenda, hija de D. Almerique el primer señor de Narbonna"[1201]. “Ermessenda comitissa…quondam uxor Almarrici comitis…cum filiis meis…domno Amelrico et domno Petro atque Guillelmo et domna Maria et domna Sancia et domna Ermengard” donated property to Burgos cathedral by charter dated 14 Aug 1164[1202].

"Doña Maria filia comitis Amalrici soror comitis Petri et…comes Petrus" donated "castellum…Alcozar" to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated Mar 1183[1205]. "P…comes…cum filia meo domno G. Petri" donated property "in Cogolludo" to the Order of Calatrava, for the soul of "uxoris meæ Infantis domnæ Santiæ", by charter dated 11 Mar 1183[1206]. Mayordomo mayor of Fernando II King of Leon 11 Feb 1185. Vicomte de Narbonne. "P…comes…cum uxore mea Marg. cometissa" donated their property "in Asbaladejo et in Cannet et in termino Conchæ" to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 30 Dec 1187[1207]. "Comes Petrus…cum uxore mea Margarita" donated "hæreditatem de Grudis" to found a monastery, confirmed by "sororum Mariæ et…Santia Marric", by charter dated 11 Mar 1187[1208]. "Petrus…comes…cum uxore mea comitissa domna Margerina" donated vines at Madrid to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 17 Nov 1189[1209]. The testament of "comes Petrus filius comitis Almarich", dated 28 Jun 1190, made religious donations and chose burial "ad Hortam sive ad Arandelam"[1210]. A charter dated 1192 names "Petrus comes, vicecomes Narbonæ"[1211]. "Petrus…comes et Narbonensis vicecomes" donated feudal rights to "domino Remundo consanguineo suo, episcopo Lodovensi" by charter dated Sep 1192[1212]. The vicomté was presumably withdrawn from Pedro in early 1193 as shown by the charter dated Jun 1193 under which Alfonso II King of Aragon granted the vicomté de Narbonne to "Raymundo-Rotgerii...nepoti meo" (identified as Raymond Roger Comte de Foix)[1213]. The confiscation must, however, have been short-lived as a charter dated 8 Nov 1193 records an agreement between "comitem Petrum, vicecomitem Narbonæ" and "Guillelmum Monetarium", confirmed by "Aymericus filius...comitis"[1214]. The Anales Toledanos record the death in Jan 1202 of “el Conde D. Pedro”[1215].

m firstly ([1170/73]) as her second husband, Infanta doña SANCHA de Navarra, widow of GASTON [V] Vicomte de Béarn, daughter of GARCIA VI "el Restaurador" King of Navarre & his second wife doña Urraca Alfonso “la Asturiana” de Castilla (1148-1176). Rodrigo de Toledo records that "Rex Garsias tertiam filiam…Sanciam" married "Gastoni vicecomiti Bearnensi", that the couple died childless and that she married secondly "Petro comiti Molinensi" by whom she had "filium…Aimericum qui fuit vicecomes Narbonensis"[1216]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "Conde D. Pedro de Molina" married "D. Sancha"[1217]. "Comes Petrus et ele Infant uxor sua Santia" donated "medietate Salinarum" to Huerta San Martín by charter dated "Era 1240" (presumably mis-dated)[1218].

m secondly MARGARET, consanguinea of HENRY II King of England, daughter of --- (-[17 Nov 1189/1195]). A charter dated "X Kal Feb 1221" (Spanish Era = A. D. 23 Jan 1183) at Anjou records a donation by "P…comes de Lara…comitisse Marger´ uxori mee consanguinee H...angl´ regis" of "Molmera et Handaluz et Agusinu et Eles et Pulucranke…in Hyspania" to Llanthony abbey witnessed by "comes Gaufredus Britannie, J. sine terra, J. comes J, Mauricius de Creon senescallus Andeg, J. Didaci comitis"[1219]. Evans suggests that she was Margaret of Scotland, widow firstly of Conan IV "le Petit" Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, and secondly of Humphrey de Bohun, daughter of Henry of Scotland Earl of Huntingdon and Northumberland & his wife Ada de Warenne of Surrey ([1143/44]-1201, bur Sawtrey Abbey, Herts). He points out that Llanthony has been founded in 1136 by Miles of Gloucester, whose eldest daughter married Humphrey de Bohun, who was the father of Margaret´s second husband[1220]. If this origin is correct, Pedro´s marriage to Margaret was presumably terminated before her death, given his third marriage. The difficulty with Evans´s proposal is the obvious age difference between Pedro de Lara and Margaret of Scotland. Another possibility, which also justifies the connection with Llanthony through the Bohun family and is more satisfactory from a chronological point of view, is that Pedro´s second wife was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Margaret´s, so Margaret de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun & his wife Margaret of Scotland. "P…comes…cum uxore mea Marg. cometissa" donated their property "in Asbaladejo et in Cannet et in termino Conchæ" to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 30 Dec 1187[1221]. "Comes Petrus…cum uxore mea Margarita" donated "hæreditatem de Grudis" to found a monastery, confirmed by "sororum Mariæ et…Santia Marric", by charter dated 11 Mar 1187[1222]. "Petrus…comes…cum uxore mea comitissa domna Margerina" donated vines at Madrid to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 17 Nov 1189[1223].

m thirdly (after 1195) as her second husband, doña MAFALDA, widow of don PEDRO Rodríguez de Guzmán, daughter of ---. Alfonso VIII King of Castile confirmed the purchase of property at Tragacete made by the council of Cuenca from "comitissa domna Mafalt, quodam uxore comitis Petri, et de Gonzalvo Petri, filio suo et eiusdem comitis" by charter dated 3 Feb 1202[1224].

Pedro & his first wife had [three] children:

1. don GARCÍA Pérez (-after 11 Mar 1183). "Dopna Ermesenda…comitissa" donated "medietatem meam de Molina" held by "comite Almarrico bonæ memore marito meo", to "nepoti meo Garsie Petri hijo comitis Petri, et Santiæ Infantisle", by charter dated 1175[1225]. "P…comes…cum filia meo domno G. Petri" donated property "in Cogolludo" to the Order of Calatrava, for the soul of "uxoris meæ Infantis domnæ Santiæ", by charter dated 11 Mar 1183[1226].

2. [doña ELVIRA Pérez (-1220). “Comitissa Gelovira Petri…cum viro meo domno Armengaudo” donated property to León cathedral by charter dated 1182[1227]. “Ermengadus comes Urgellensis et Alvira comitissa” granted “pug de Asfa…[et] kastrum Sancti Vicencii quod est ad radicem Montis Clari in valle Andorra” to "Arnallo de Kastrobono" by charter dated 2 Oct 1190[1228]. Her parentage is also suggested by the charter dated 1228 under which her daughter "Don Orembiax…condesa de Urgel" donated property "en Bretavislo en el Cerrato", inherited from "mie madre la condesa doña Elvira", to "don Nuño Pedrez filio del conde don Pedro, mio cormano", by charter dated Jul 1228[1229]. Although “cormano/congermano” is more often interpreted as cousin, under the suggested reconstruction shown here Nuño Pérez would have been Aurembiax´s maternal uncle, although born from her maternal grandfather´s third marriage and so born around the same time as Aurembiax herself. Canal Sánchez-Pagín suggests that Elvira, wife of Armengol [VIII], was the daughter of Conde Pedro Alfonso (of the Vela family, see Chapter 25.B below)[1230]. However, Pedro Alfonso´s daughter Elvira is named in her mother´s 1156 testament and was probably born considerably earlier if her parents´ marriage is correctly dated to [1130]. She is therefore unlikely to have been the same person as the wife of Armengol [VIII], whose daughter´s birth is dated towards the end of the 12th century. Sánchez de Mora suggests a possible explanation for all these apparent inconsistencies: Armengol [VIII] married twice, firstly “Elvira Pérez” (although Sánchez de Mora appears to accept that she was the daughter of Conde Pedro Alfonso), secondly “Elvira Núñez” who would have been the mother of Aurembiax and who Sánchez de Mora suggests could have been the daughter of Nuño Pérez de Lara (see below). This would mean that “cormano” could be given its usual interpretation in the 1228 charter of Aurembiax, who would have belonged to the same generation as the beneficiary of that document. It would also explain another document, dated 20 Apr 1228, under which Aurembiax granted property to “Fernando Álvarez, mio cormano, filio del conde don Alvaro”[1231]. In addition, the dating of the birth of Aurembiax herself to [1196] is difficult to understand if she was the daughter of Elvira Pérez, married to her father already in 1182, but would be natural if she was the daughter of a second marriage. It is recognised that, if Elvira Pérez was the daughter of Conde Pedro Manrique as suggested here, she would only have been about 12 years old at the time of the 1182 charter, presumably recently married, which suggests that this may not be a perfect fit for her parentage. Another perspective on the marriage is provided by Monfar, who states that Elvira and her husband "tuvieron al principio…algunas discordias" before being finally reconciled, as confirmed by documents under which each promised not to harm the other, Comte Armengol nominating "Guillen de Cardona y Pedro Ferrandiz" as guarantors, the last document in the series being dated 11 Dec 1203[1232]. If this is correct, it would explain the considerable delay after their marriage before the birth of the couple´s daughter and would be consistent with Armengol only having one wife. In conclusion, there appears to remain considerable uncertainty about the identity of the wife of Armengol [VIII] Conde de Urgel.

6. [don NUÑO Pérez (-after 1228). Barton names "Aimerico, García, Nuño" as the children of Pedro Manrique de Lara by his first marriage, but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[1267]. His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 1228 under which Aurembiax Condesa de Urgel granted property to “Nuño Pérez fijo del conde don Pedro, mio cormano”[1268]. Although “cormano/congermano” is more often interpreted as cousin, under the suggested reconstruction shown here Nuño Pérez would have been Aurembiax´s maternal uncle, although born from her maternal grandfather´s third marriage and so born around the same time as Aurembiax herself. This interpretation is corroborated by the index of the same document in the collection of Salazar y Castro which reads: "doña Aurembiax condesa de Urgel" donated "la heredad que tiene en Bretavielo en el Cerrato" to "Nuño Pérez de Lara, hijo del conde Pedro Manrique de Lara, mío Cormano" by charter dated 1228[1269]. However, parts of this index entry represent an interpretation of the content of the original document. If Nuño was the son of Pedro Manrique de Lara, it is assumed that he was born from Pedro´s third marriage as there appears to be no indication that his, presumably older, brother Gonzalo was not the rightful head of the family after the death of their father.]

B. LARA, SEÑORES de CASTROJERIZ

don NUÑO Pérez de Lara, son of don PEDRO González de Lara & his wife doña Eva --- (-killed Cuenca 3 Aug 1177, bur Perales, Cistercian Abbey). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Manrique de Lara, D. Nuño de Lara, D. Rodrigo sin hijos" as the children of "El Conde D. Pedro" and his wife "D. Eva"[1270]. "Rodericus comes…cum consanguinibus meis: Semeno Enechez et mater eius dompna Maria, Don Garcia, D. Malrico, Gonsalbo de Marañon, Don Nuño, Don Rodrico, Don Alvaro, Don Pedro Garciaz, comitissa Doña Elbira, Domna Milia, Domna Santia Garciaz, Domna Mayor Garciaz, Domna Maria Garciaz" donated "villam…Gormeces" to San Pedro de Arlança, by charter dated 7 Feb 1140[1271]. “Comes Malricus…cum fratribus et sororibus nostris Albar Petriz et Nun Petriz, comitissa domna Elvira, Mari Petriz, Milia Petriz” conferred rights on San Juan de Tardajos by charter dated 31 Jan 1147[1272]. Alférez of Alfonso VII King of Castile Mar 1145 to 4 Feb 1155. "Malrric…comes, et domnus Alvarus, Munionis, Ferrandus comes, et suos filios, Gomez Gonçalviz, Garci Gomez, et suos filios, Petrus Semeniz et Roderico Semeniz, et Gonçalvo Roiz" donated "casas de Toleto" to "Gonscalvo de Marannon" by charter dated 9 Nov 1148[1273]. "Aldefonsus…tocius Hyspanie imperator…cum uxore mea imperatrice domna Rica et…filiis meis Sanctio et Ferrando regibus" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 28 Oct 1155, confirmed by "…Nunnus Petriz tenens Montor…"[1274]. Conde 11 Mar 1162. "Conde Nuño Pérez de Lara y…la condesa doña Teresa Fernández de Trava" donated "las villas de Chillón y de Almadén" to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 27 Mar 1168[1275]. "Comes Alvarus et comes Munius…" donated property to Santa María la Real de Aguilar by charter dated 1169[1276]. The archbishop of Toledo rented houses in Toledo to "comes Nunio et uxori uestre comitisse domne Teresie" by charter dated 1176[1277]. "Comes Nunio et uxor mea comitissa dompna Tharesia" donated property to the chapel of St Thomas of Canterbury in Toledo cathedral by charter dated Jul 1177[1278]. The Annales Compostellani record the capture in 1177 of Cuenca and the death there “III Non Aug” of “Comes Nunius”[1279]. The Anales Toledanos record the death in Jun 1177 of “el Conde D. Nuño”[1280]. Salazar y Castro records that Nuño Pérez and his wife were both buried in the monastery of Perales[1281].

m (before 14 Feb 1142) doña TERESA Fernández de Traba, illegitimate daughter of don FERNANDO Pérez de Traba Conde de Trastámara & his mistress Infanta doña Teresa Alfonso Queen of Portugal (-León 7 Feb 1180, bur León, monastery of San Isidro). "Conde Nuño Pérez de Lara y…la condesa doña Teresa Fernández de Trava" donated "las villas de Chillón y de Almadén" to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 27 Mar 1168[1282]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Sancha Vermuiz, D. Teresa Vermuiz" as the children of "D. Vermui Perez Potestade de Trava" and his first wife "la Reina D. Teresa de Portugal", in a later passage recording that "El Conde D. Nuño de Lara" married "D. Teresa Fernandez"[1283]. According to Salazar y Castro, Teresa Fernández was the illegitimate daughter of Fernando Pérez de Traba by his mistress Queen Teresa of Portugal[1284]. He says that this is inferred from the charter dated 1131, under which “la condesa Doña Loba” donated "el Coto de Anca" to the monastery of San Martín de Joyba, which was subscribed by “comes Fredenandus Petri filius comitis Petri…cum filia mea nata regina dona Tereyxa”[1285]. Salazar y Castro also quotes a charter dated 14 Feb 1142 which is confirmed by "comes dom. Munio Petri cum uxore sua comitissa domna Tharasia filia comitis dom. Ferrandi et domnæ Tharasia Regina"[1286]. This all appears straightforward. However, it is confused by reports that Teresa Fernández married, as his second wife, Fernando II King of León, their children being born in [1178/80]. Lucas de Tuy, for example, records that "Rex Fernandus" married secondly "Tharasiam qua fuerat uxor Nunii comitis de Castella"[1287]. Rodrigo de Jiménez who says that the king married "Tarasiam filiam comitis Fernandi, quæ fuerat uxor comitis Nunii de Castella"[1288]. Salazar y Castro highlights the chronological impossibility that this second marriage could be correct[1289]. Szabolcs de Vajay accepts the second marriage of Teresa Fernández with the king, but supposedly finds the solution to the chronological difficulties by saying that she was Fernando Pérez´s daughter "by Sancha González (and not, as is often alleged, by the Infanta Teresa of Portugal)"[1290]. Unfortunately, this does not resolve the issues. The marriages of Fernando Pérez de Traba´s children by his legitimate wife are noted between 1142 and 1150, which would place their births in the period [1120/30]. This is still too early for the possible birth date of the second wife of Fernando II King of León, given the births of the couple´s children in [1178/80]. The question is resolved by Salazar y Castro who quotes sources which confirm that the second wife of Fernando II King of León was in fact the daughter of Nuño Pérez de Lara and his wife Teresa Fernández (see below)[1291]. If this is correct, there is no difficulty with asserting that Teresa Fernández was the daughter of the queen of Portugal. The archbishop of Toledo rented houses in Toledo to "comes Nunio et uxori uestre comitisse domne Teresie" by charter dated 1176[1292]. "Comes Nunio et uxor mea comitissa dompna Tharesia" donated property to the chapel of St Thomas of Canterbury in Toledo cathedral by charter dated Jul 1177[1293]. Salazar y Castro records that Nuño Pérez and his wife were both buried in the monastery of Perales[1294].

Nuño & his wife had six children:

1. don FERNANDO Núñez de Lara (-Marrakesh 1217, bur Santa María de Puente Fitero). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "El Conde D. Alvaro Nuñez de Lara, El Conde D. Gonçalo, El Conde D. Fernando, D. Elvira Moniz" as the children of "El Conde D. Nuño de Lara" and his wife "D. Teresa Fernandez"[1295]. Alférez of Alfonso VIII King of Castile 8 Jul 1187 to 28 Jul 1188 and 11 Dec 1201 to 23 Oct 1205. Señor de Castrogeriz. He was exiled and forced to take refuge in Morocco. m doña MAYOR, daughter of --- (-after 1232, bur Santa María de Puente Fitero). "Comdessa dompna Mayor mulier del comde don Ferrando et…don Aluar Ferrandez et…dompna Sancha Ferrandet et…dompna Teresa Fernandet, filios del comde don Ferrando" donated property to the hospital of Burgos by charter dated 1231[1296]. According to Salazar y Castro, she was doña Mayor García de Aza, daughter of don García García Señor de Aza & his wife doña Sancha Pérez de Traba. This parentage is supposedly confirmed by the charter dated 27 Oct 1242 under which her daughters "Doña Sancha Fernández de Lara mujer de don Fernando infante de Portugal señor de Serpa y doña Teresa Fernández de Lara su hermana, mujer de Ponce Hugo conde de Ampurias, hijas del conde Fernando Núñez de Lara alférez mayor de Castilla y de su mujer la condesa doña Mayor García de Aza" donated property in Belorado to the bishop of Burgos[1297]. The wife of Fernando Núñez de Lara was named Mayor, as shown by the charter dated 1231 which is quoted above. However, Martínez Díez describes her parentage as proposed by Salazar y Castro as "pura fabulación y…en contradicción con todos los diplomas y documentos que conocemos", pointing out that all the documentation points to Mayor García de Aza having married Gonzalo [Rodríguez] de Marañón[1298]. The original text of the charter dated 27 Oct 1242 has not yet been found, so it is not possible to assess the extent that the extract as provided by Salazar y Castro strays from the its wording. "Condessa dona Maior con mio fijo Alvar Fernandez e con mie fija Sancha Fernandez e con mie fija Taresa Fernandez" donated the church of Santa María de Esperina, for the soul of "mi marido el conde don Fernando et…mio fijo el Conde de Lara", by charter dated 15 Jun 1232[1299].

The Livro Velho names "D. Martim Affonso e D. Maria Affonso e D. Sancha Affonso e D. Orraca Affonso" as the children "d´elrey de Leão" and his mistress Teresa, daughter of "D. Gil Vasques de Sovorosa", adding that María married "D. Alvar Fernandes filho do conde D. Fernando de Lara o que jaz em Fiteiros" but was childless, later became mistress of "elrey D. Affonso de Castella seu sobrinho", and afterwards married "D. Suer Ayres de Valladares" by whom she was mother of "D. Pedro Soares de Sarraça e D. Affonso Soares" (listing their descendants)[1305]. She was the mistress [1240] of her nephew Infante don Alfonso de Castilla, who later succeeded as Alfonso X King of Castile. She married secondly ([after 1240]) as his second wife, don Suero Arias de Valladares “Sarraça”. Álvaro & his wife had [one child]:

i) doña TERESA Álvarez de Lara. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "D. Diego Lopez de Salcedo" married "D. Teresa Alvarez, hija de Alvaro Fernandez Potestade"[1306]. Salazar y Castro says that she was illegitimate as Álvaro and his wife were childless[1307]. m don DIEGO López de Haro, illegitimate son of don LOPE Díaz de Haro Señor de Vizcaya, Señor de Haro & his mistress ---. Adelantado mayor de Guipuzcoa.

c) doña SANCHA Fernández.

"Alvar Fernández, fijo del cuende Fernando…[e] mis hermanas…doña Sancha Fernande et doña Theresa Fernande" donated the church of San Torquato and property at Boadilla del Camino to the Bishop of Palencia by charter dated 24 Jul 1240[1310]. The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes records the marriage of "Ferdinandum", third son of "Aldefonsum" & his wife, and "Sanciam filiam Comitis Ferdinandi"[1311]. "Doña Sancha Fernández de Lara mujer de don Fernando infante de Portugal señor de Serpa y doña Teresa Fernández de Lara su hermana, mujer de Ponce Hugo conde de Ampurias, hijas del conde Fernando Núñez de Lara alférez mayor de Castilla y de su mujer la condesa doña Mayor García de Aza" donated property in Belorado to the bishop of Burgos by charter dated 27 Oct 1242[1312].

d) [doña BENITA Fernández ). Benita is shown in secondary sources as the first wife of Ponce [IV] Conde de Ampurias. The primary source on which her supposed parentage and marriage are based has not yet been identified. It appears unlikely that the information is correct. Benita is not named in her supposed mother´s donation dated 15 Jun 1232, which names all her other known children, alive or deceased at the time. It would be surprising if Benita was omitted, assuming that she was the daughter of Fernando Núñez de Lara. In addition, her supposed husband later married Teresa Fernández, supposed sister of Benita. It is surprising that a Papal dispensation would have been issued for such a marriage in the mid-13th century. In addition, no other example has been found of the name "Benita". If a primary source does exist which names her, it is possible that the name was a nickname applied to Ponce´s wife Teresa. m as his first wife, PONCE [IV] Conde de Ampurias, son of HUG [IV] Conde de Ampurias & his wife doña María de Vilademuls Señora de Vilademuls (-after 1269).]

a) don DIEGO González de Lara (-after 1239). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Diego Gonçalez, D. Nuño Gonçalez, D. Teresa Gonçalez" as the children of "El Conde D. Gonçalo" and his wife "D. Maria"[1323]. Salazar y Castro records his parentage[1324].

b) don NUÑO González (-killed in battle 1275). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Diego Gonçalez, D. Nuño Gonçalez, D. Teresa Gonçalez" as the children of "El Conde D. Gonçalo" and his wife "D. Maria"[1325].

Gonçalo" and his wife "D. Maria"[1327]. "Doña Teresa González de Lara señora de Molina…[y] su hermano Nuño González de Lara el Bueno, hijos del conde Gonzalo Núñez de Lara señor de Belorado" sold property in Santa María de Sasamón to Juan Bishop of Burgos by charter dated Sep 1244[1328]. m (1244) as his second wife, Infante don ALFONSO de León Señor de Molina, son of don ALFONSO IX King of León & his second wife Infanta doña Berenguela de Castilla (Autumn 1202-Salamanca 6 Jan 1272, bur Ciudad Real, castle of Calatrava-la-Nueva).

e) doña LEONOR González. Salazar y Castro records her parentage and marriage[1329].

4. doña TERESA Núñez de Lara (-León 7 Feb 1180, bur León, monastery of San Isidro). Salazar y Castro states that the Coronica General records the marriage of "el Rey D. Ferrando" and "Doña Teresa fija del conde D. Nuño de Castiella"[1331]. However, Lucas de Tuy records that "Rex Fernandus" married secondly "Tharasiam qua fuerat uxor Nunii comitis de Castella"[1332], and Rodrigo de Jiménez that the king married "Tarasiam filiam comitis Fernandi, quæ fuerat uxor comitis Nunii de Castella"[1333]. Salazar y Castro highlights the chronological impossibility that this is correct, although he cites no earlier source which confirms that the king´s wife was the daughter of Nuño Pérez de Lara. A charter dated 6 May 1173 records property of "Rege F. et Regina domina Tarasia…in Montenigro…Villar ripam de Goaa"[1334].

Alvaro Nuñez de Lara" married "D. Urraca de Canas", adding that the couple was childless[1341]. Alfonso VIII King of Castile granted "villam…Castrum-Viridem in ripa de Asqueba" to "dono Alvaro Nunii…et uxori vestre doæ Urracæ Didaci et filiis et filiabus vestris" by charter dated 1 Nov 1214[1342].

Don NUÑO González de Lara "el Bueno", son of conde don GONZALO Núñez de Lara & his second wife doña María Díaz de Haro (-killed in battle Éjica May 1275, bur monasterio de San Pablo de Palencia). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Diego Gonçalez, D. Nuño Gonçalez, D. Teresa Gonçalez" as the children of "El Conde D. Gonçalo" and his wife "D. Maria"[1369]. "Doña Teresa González de Lara señora de Molina…[y] su hermano Nuño González de Lara el Bueno, hijos del conde Gonzalo Núñez de Lara señor de Belorado" sold property in Santa María de Sasamón to Juan Bishop of Burgos by charter dated Sep 1244[1370].

Governor of Castilla-la-Vieja. Ibn-Khaldun records that "comte don Nuño" was killed in battle in [7 Jul 1274/26 Jun 1275] fighting "Yacoub fils d´Abd-al-hacc…près du Guadalete"[1372].

m doña TERESA Alfonso, illegitimate daughter of [Infante don ALFONSO de Castilla Señor de Molina & his mistress ---] ([1225]- ---, bur Monasterio de San Pablo de Palencia). Salazar y Castro states that she was the daughter of Pedro Alfonso, master of Santiago who died in 1226[1373]. Szabolcs de Vajay suggests that this is incorrect, as it does not explain her patronymic. He suggests her parentage as shown here on the basis of a letter from the future King Alfonso X to Nuño González which records that he had asked his father King Fernando III to grant land to Nuño on his marriage to "doña Teresa Alfonso su cormana, nieta del rey de León"[1374]. The Order of Santiago granted property in San Miguel de Bobadilla in usufruct to "Nuño González de Lara el Bueno y a doña Teresa Alfón su mujer" in return for donating the mill of Guaidaira in Seville, by charter dated 15 Sep 1259[1375].

Nuño & his wife had four children:

1. don JUAN Núñez "el Gordo" de Lara (-early 1294). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo, D. Nuño Gonçalez, que murio en Lisboa" as the children of "D. Nuño Gonçalez de Lara" and his wife "D. Teresa Alonso"[1376]. Salazar y Castro records his parentage[1377]. Señor de Albarracín, de iure uxoris: Estepa Díaz observes that Juan Núñez was named as señor de Albarracín from 1263[1378]. Señor de Lara. The Crónica del Rey Alfonso X records “don Juan Nuñez, fijo de don Nuño” as a loyal supporter of Infante Fernando de la Cerda and supervised his burial in 1275[1379]. Zurita names “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara y Don Iuan Nuñez y Don Nuño Gonçalez sus hijos, y de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra, Don Alvar Nuñez...” among those who did not support Infante Sancho´s opposition to King Alfonso X in 1283[1380]. Zurita records the role of “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara...muy gran amigo del Rey de Castilla...vassallo del Rey de Francia” in the invasion of Castile by Philippe III King of France in 1283, mentionning that Juan held “el Señorio de [Albarrazin]” through “Doña Theresa Aluarez su muger...hija de Don Aluar Perez de Açagra Señor de Albarrazin”[1381]. The same events are reported in the Crónica del Rey Alfonso X which also records the participation of “don Juan Nuñez”[1382]. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Juan Nuñez, que era señor de Albarracin” fought against King Sancho in Castile after his accession (in 1284), and records “don Alvaro, fijo deste don Juan Nuñez” swearing allegiance to the king in Seville[1383]. Zurita records in 1284 that “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara...de los mas poderosos y grandes Señores de Castilla” made war in Aragon with the help of the king of France from “Albarrazin, que era de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra su muger...hija de D. Aluar Perez de Açagra”[1384]. Zurita records that the king of Aragon confiscated the señorio of Albarracín from Juan Núñez and granted it to “D. Fernando su hijo” in 1284[1385]. Salazar y Castro quotes the charter of King Sancho dated 29 Oct 1288, confirming the privileges of the monastery of San Salvador de Sotillo de Haccam, witnessed by “D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalvez...D. Johan fijo de D. Johan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalez so hermano”[1386]. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Juan Nuñez, que era en Francia” reached agreement with King Sancho and gave “su fija doña Juana” to the queen to be brought up in her household, dated to 1289[1387]. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records the death of “don Juan Nuñez el mayor”, at the end of the chapter reporting events in the tenth year of King Sancho´s reign so probably in early 1294[1388]. [Salazar y Castro takes a different view of the events involving Juan Núñez, stating that “D. Juan Nuñez de Lara el primero” died in 1276, without citing any primary source but adding that “los capítulos siguientes darán nueva seguridad e este dictamen”, and asserting that all later events related to his son, also called Juan Núñez[1389]. He suggests that “fijo deste don Juan Nuñez” in the 1284 extract from the Crónica del Rey Sancho (see above), was an error for “hermano deste don Juan Nuñez”, adding that there is no record of Álvaro´s father ever having been señor de Albarracín as the territory in question was inherited by Álvaro´s brother through marriage[1390]. The chronology for Salazar y Castro´s position is shaky. In particular, the 1283 extract from Zurita, quoted above, appears impossible assuming that Juan´s son Juan was the father of the two sons who are named. In addition, the natural meaning of King Sancho´s charter dated 29 Oct 1288 (see above) is that the witnesses were (in order) Juan Núñez senior, his brother Nuño González, and his two sons Juan Núñez and Nuño González.] m [firstly] (before 8 Jul 1260) doña TERESA Álvarez de Azagra Señora de Albarracín, daughter of don ÁLVARO Pérez de Azagra Señor de Albarracín & his wife doña Inés de Navarra ([1243/45]-[after 1300]). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo" married "D. Teresa Alvarez", without specifying her parentage, and that they were parents of "D. Alvaro Nuñez, D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonçalez. D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla, D. Teresa Nuñez"[1391]. A charter dated 1391 relating to Albarracín quotes an earlier charter “privilegio et carta de Doña Teresa Alvarez” dated 8 Jul 1260 (“A. D. 1260” and “la era 1298”, both quoted in the document) under which “doña Teresa Alvarez de Azagra vasalla de Sancta Maria et Señora de Albarracin” confirmed privileges to Albarracín granted by “mi abuelo don Pero Fernandez et mi padre don Alvaro...Perez”, confirmed that neither she nor “mi marido don Juan Nuñez” would interfere with those privileges, and also named as her heir if she died childless “doña Elsa mi hermana” and, if Elsa died childless, “mi tio don Garcia Ortiz” and failing him “don Gonçalo Fernandez mi tio”[1392]. The wording of the document suggests that it was dated soon after Teresa´s marriage and soon after her father´s death. The subsequent career of Teresa Álvarez and the date of her death are unclear and have not been corroborated by contemporary primary source documentation. In particular, the following quotes from Zurita (writing in [1560/80] and who does not cite his primary sources) directly contradict the existence of Teresa Díaz de Haro as the apparent second wife of Juan Núñez, as reported by Ayala (see below). Zurita names “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara y Don Iuan Nuñez y Don Nuño Gonçalez sus hijos, y de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra, Don Alvar Nuñez...” among those who did not support Infante Sancho´s opposition to King Alfonso X in 1283[1393]. The passage does not specify that “Don Alvar” was also one of the sons of “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara”. The placing of his name after that of Teresa Álvarez suggests that he was recorded in some way as her representative. It is unclear whether this means that Teresa was still alive at that date or whether Álvaro was by then her successor, presumably in Albarracín. Zurita records in 1284 that “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara...de los mas poderosos y grandes Señores de Castilla” made war in Aragon with the help of the king of France from “Albarrazin, que era de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra su muger...hija de D. Aluar Perez de Açagra”[1394]. Zurita also records that “Don Juan...hizo reconocimiento en nombre de Doña Teresa Aluarez su madre y de Doña Juana y Doña Teresa Aluarez sus hermanas” that “el castillo y villa de Albarrazin” was under “jurisdiccion del Reyno de Aragon” in 1298 and that he was granted Albarracín “en su nombre, y de su madre, y hermanas”[1395]. The wording of these two passages suggests that Teresa was still alive at that date, and also indicates that she was the mother of all Juan´s children, but as discussed further below this conclusion is directly contradicted by two chronicles of Ayala which record Teresa Díaz de Haro as the wife of Juan Núñez and mother of his daughter Juana. Lastly, Zurita records that Jaime II King of Aragon forced “D. Iuan Nuñez de Lara” to return “Albarrazin...y el castillo de Rodenas” to him in 1300 after declaring that “Don Iuan Nuñez y Doña Teresa Aluarez de Açagra su madre y sus hermanas” had forfeited their rights[1396]. Salazar y Castro states that “Doña Teresa Alvarez” was still living in 1300 but, as he cites no primary source, it is not known whether this statement is based on a source other than Zurita´s report[1397]. [m secondly doña TERESA Díaz de Haro, daughter of don DIEGO López de Haro Señor de Vizcaya, Señor de Haro & his wife Constance de Béarn ([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...”[1398]. 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”[1399]. 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)[1400]. 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 above) which indicate that Teresa Álvarez was still living in 1300. As discussed above, 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[1401]. 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 as noted below. 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[1402]. 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”[1403]. 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.] Juan & his [first] wife had three children:

a) don ALVARO Núñez de Lara (after Jul 1260-Marvan 1287). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Alvaro Nuñez, D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonçalez. D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla, D. Teresa Nuñez" as the children of "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo" and his wife "D. Teresa Alvarez", adding that Álvaro "murio moço sin hijos"[1404]. Salazar y Castro records his parentage[1405]. No other documentation has been found which casts doubt on Álvaro´s parentage, and indeed his name suggests that he must have been named after his maternal grandfather. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Alvar Nuñez fijo de don Juan Nuñez” rebelled against King Sancho, allied himself with the Portuguese, and invaded Castille[1406]. Zurita names “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara y Don Iuan Nuñez y Don Nuño Gonçalez sus hijos, y de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra, Don Alvar Nuñez...” among those who did not support Infante Sancho´s opposition to King Alfonso X in 1283[1407]. It is suggested that the curious order of the names in this passage was intended to indicate that Álvaro was acting on behalf of Teresa Álvarez de Azagra, in his capacity of her eldest son and direct heir. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Juan Nuñez, que era señor de Albarracion” fought against King Sancho in Castile after his accession (in 1284) and records “don Alvaro, fijo deste don Juan Nuñez” swearing allegiance to the king in Seville[1408]. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Alvaro” died “en Marvan”, dated to 1287 from the context[1409].

b) don JUAN Núñez de Lara ([before 1273]-Burgos Jul 1315 or after 16 Sep 1315). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Alvaro Nuñez, D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonçalez. D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla, D. Teresa Nuñez" as the children of "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo" and his wife "D. Teresa Alvarez"[1410]. No other information has been found which contradicts the Nobiliario´s assertion that Teresa Álvarez was the mother of Juan Núñez. In particular, the apparently contradictory passages in Ayala, quoted above, do not assert that Juan was the son of Teresa Díaz de Haro. In addition, Juan´s appointment to Albarracín in 1298 is best explained if he was the legitimate heir to the town through his mother. Zurita names “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara y Don Iuan Nuñez y Don Nuño Gonçalez sus hijos, y de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra, Don Alvar Nuñez...” among those who did not support Infante Sancho´s opposition to King Alfonso X in 1283[1411]. One possible interpretation of the curious order of the names in this passage is that it was intended to emphasise that Teresa Álvarez was not the mother of Juan and Nuño. However, in the case of Juan at least, Zurita states directly that he was the son of Teresa Álvarez in later passages (see below). Until more information comes to light, it is assumed that Juan was the son of Teresa Álvarez de Azagra. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that, after the death of “don Alvaro”, King Sancho granted to “don Juan Nuñez, hermano de don Alvaro...la tierra é la cuantía que...su hermano tenía”, dated to 1287 from the context[1412]. This appointment suggests that Juan must have reached the age of majority at the time, which if correct would place his birth in 1273 or earlier (assuming an age of majority of 14 at the earliest). The Crónica del Rey Sancho includes a curious passage referring to beards: it records that King Sancho IV when dying (in 1295) asked “don Juan Nuñez” to protect his son, the future King Fernando IV, “fasta que él haya barbas” [until he grows a beard], adding (in the words of the king) that Juan Núñez “llegastes hasta mí mozo sin barbas” [you came to me as a beardless lad][1413]. Estepa Díaz concludes from this passage that Juan Núñez must have been born “hacia 1276”[1414]. However, the passage about beards does no necessarily refer to the moment when Juan succeeded his brother Álvaro (in 1287, see above). Salazar y Castro quotes the charter of King Sancho dated 29 Oct 1288, confirming the privileges of the monastery of San Salvador de Sotillo de Haccam, witnessed by “D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalvez...D. Johan fijo de D. Johan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalez so hermano”[1415]. He succeeded his father as Señor de Lara. Señor de Albarracín: the Crónica del Rey Fernando IV records that “don Juan Nuñez” demanded “Albarracin, que era su heredamiento, que fuera de su padre” from the king of Aragon in Valencia, dated to 1297[1416]. Zurita records that “Don Juan...hizo reconocimiento en nombre de Doña Teresa Aluarez su madre y de Doña Juana y Doña Teresa Aluarez sus hermanas” that “el castillo y villa de Albarrazin” was under “jurisdiccion del Reyno de Aragon” in 1298 and was granted Albarracín “en su nombre, y de su madre, y hermanas”[1417]. Zurita records that Jaime II King of Aragon forced “D. Iuan Nuñez de Lara” to return “Albarrazin...y el castillo de Rodenas” to him in 1300 after declaring that “Don Iuan Nuñez y Doña Teresa Aluarez de Açagra su madre y sus hermanas” had forfeited their rights[1418]. Mayordomo mayor of don Fernando IV King of Castile 3 Jun 1302-26 Jul 1302, Apr 1307-4 Aug 1307, 1308, and 20 Aug 1315-16 Sep 1315. Adelantado mayor de la Frontera. The Crónica del Rey Alfonso XI records the death of “don Joan Nuñez en Búrgos, estando en las Córtes”, dated to [1311] from the context[1419]. The Chronicon Domini Joannis Emmanuelis records the death in Jul 1315 of “Dns Joannes Nunii Burgis”[1420]. m firstly (1290) doña ISABEL Alfonso de Molina, daughter of don ALFONSO Fernández Niño [de Castilla] & his wife doña Blanca Alfonso de Molina (-5 Dec 1292). The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Juan Nuñez” arranged the marriage of “don Juan Nuñez su fijo” to “doña Isabel fija de doña Blanca de Molina” in 1290[1421]. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records the death in 1292 of “doña Isabel la mujer de don Juan Nuñez” childless[1422]. m secondly ([1295]) doña MARÍA Díaz de Haro, daughter of Infante don JUAN de Castilla Señor de Valencia & his second wife doña María Díaz de Haro Señora de Vizcaya ([1292]-Torrelobatón before 1299). The Crónica del Rey Fernando IV records that “don Juan Nuñez” had married “una fija deste infante don Juan, que non avia de edad más de tres años”[1423]. m thirdly (1300) doña MARÍA Díaz de Haro, Señora de Tordehumos, daughter of don DIEGO López de Haro, Señor de Vizcaya, Señor de Haro & his wife Infanta doña Violante de Castilla (-Sep 1320). The mid-14th Century Nobiliario of don Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós names “doña Maria” as the daughter of “don Diego” and his wife, adding that she married “don Joan Nuñez de Lara el Bueno”[1424]. The Crónica del Rey Fernando IV records the marriage between “don Juan Nuñez” and “doña Mari Diaz fija del conde don Lope de Haro señor de Vizcaya”, adding that there was no other heir to inherit Vizcaya, dated to 1300 from the context[1425]. The Chronicon Domini Joannis Emmanuelis records the death in Sep 1320 of “Dna Maria, filia Dni Didaci”[1426].

c) don NUÑO González de Lara (-Valladolid 1296, after Aug). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Alvaro Nuñez, D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonçalez. D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla, D. Teresa Nuñez" as the children of "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo" and his wife "D. Teresa Alvarez"[1427]. As in the case of his brother Juan, no other information has been found which contradicts the Nobiliario´s assertion that Teresa Álvarez was the mother of Nuño González. Zurita names “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara y Don Iuan Nuñez y Don Nuño Gonçalez sus hijos, y de Doña Theresa Aluarez de Açagra, Don Alvar Nuñez...” among those who did not support Infante Sancho´s opposition to King Alfonso X in 1283[1428]. Salazar y Castro quotes the charter of King Sancho dated 29 Oct 1288, confirming the privileges of the monastery of San Salvador de Sotillo de Haccam, witnessed by “D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalvez...D. Johan fijo de D. Johan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalez so hermano”[1429]. Alférez of don Fernando IV "el Ajurno" King of Castile 3 Aug 1295 to 1296. Zurita names “Don Iuan Nuñez de Lara y Don Nuño Gonçalez su hermano” among the supporters of Alfonso de Cerda when he invaded Castile in 1296 and, in a later passage records the death of “Don Nuño Gonzalez de Lara” at Valladolid after August[1430]. m ([1295], not consummated) dona COSTANÇA de Portugal, daughter of Infante dom AFONSO de Portugal Senhor de Portalegre & his wife doña Violante Manuel ([1294]-).

Juan & his [first/second] wife had two children:

d) doña JUANA Núñez de Lara "la Palomilla" ([1282/86]-Palencia 12 Jun 1351). The sources are contradictory regarding the identity of Juana´s mother. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Alvaro Nuñez, D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonçalez. D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla, D. Teresa Nuñez" as the children of "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo" and his wife "D. Teresa Alvarez", an earlier passage recording that "El Infante D. Enrique" married "D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla", and another passage that "D. Fernando de la Cerda" married "D. Iuana Nuñez la Palomilla, viuda del Infante D. Enrique"[1431]. In addition, the passages in Zurita´s Anales quoted above imply that Juana must have been Juan´s daughter by Teresa Álvarez de Azagra. On the other hand, 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 records that “Doña Juana de Lara”, daughter of “Doña Teresa hermana del...Conde Don Lope” and her husband “Don Juan Nuñez de Lara el viejo”, married “Don Fernando de la Cerda”[1432]. On the basis of the information available, there appears no way to resolve this contradiction satisfactorily. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that “don Juan Nuñez, que era en Francia” reached agreement with King Sancho and gave “su fija doña Juana” to the queen to be brought up in her household, dated to 1289[1433]. The Crónica del Rey Sancho records that the marriage was arranged between “el Rey...infante don Alfonso su fijo” and “doña Juana fija de don Juan Nuñez”, but that “este infante don Alfonso su fijo” died, dated to 1291 from the context[1434]. Zurita records that “Don Juan...hizo reconocimiento en nombre de Doña Teresa Aluarez su madre y de Doña Juana y Doña Teresa Aluarez sus hermanas” that “el castillo y villa de Albarrazin” was under “jurisdicion del Reyno de Aragon” and was granted Albarracín “en su nombre, y de su madre, y hermanas”[1435]. The Crónica del Rey Fernando IV records the marriage of “don Juan Nuñez...su hermana...doña Juana” and “don Enrique”, dated to [1299/1300] from the context[1436]. Señora de Lerma, Villafranca, Dueñas, Fuente-Empudia, Torrelobatón and Herrera. She succeeded her brother in 1315 as Señora de Lara. Ayala´s Crónica de Pedro I records the death “dia de la Trinidad...en Palencia” in 1351 of “Doña Juana de Lara madre [de] Don Juan Nuñez...fija de Don Juan Nuñez de Lara é de Doña Teresa, hermana del Conde Don Lope Señor de Vizcaya”, adding that she had first married “el Infante Don Enrique fijo del Rey Don Ferrando” when she was “muy moza”[1437]. Betrothed (1291) to Infante don ALFONSO de Castilla y León, son of don SANCHO IV "el Bravo" King of Castile and León & his wife doña María Alfonso de Molina “la Grande” (Valladolid Jan 1286-Valladolid Aug 1291). m firstly ([1299/1300]) Infante don ENRIQUE de Castilla y León, "el Senador" son of don FERNANDO III "el Santo" King of Castile & his first wife Elisabeth von Hohenstaufen (1230 before 10 Mar-Roda 8 Aug 1303, bur Valladolid, San Francisco). Señor de Écija y Medellín. m secondly (1308) Infante don FERNANDO de la Cerda de Castilla, son of Infante don FERNANDO "él de la Cerda" de Castilla y León & his wife Blanche de France (posthumously on or after 25 Jul 1275-1322 soon after 1 Jun). Señor de Lara 1315 by right of his wife. Mayordomo Mayor of Castile 14 Apr 1320. The children of this second marriage adopted the name Lara.

e) doña TERESA Núñez de Lara (-[1314]). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Alvaro Nuñez, D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonçalez. D. Juana Nuñez la Palomilla, D. Teresa Nuñez" as the children of "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo" and his wife "D. Teresa Alvarez", an earlier passage recording that "D Juan Alfonso" married "D. Teresa Nuñez" by whom he was childless[1438]. No information has been found which contradicts the Nobiliario. However, if it is correct that Teresa was younger than her sister Juana, they must have shared the same mother and the same doubts therefore apply to Teresa regarding her mother´s identity as discussed above in relation to Juana. Zurita records that “Don Juan...hizo reconocimiento en nombre de Doña Teresa Aluarez su madre y de Doña Juana y Doña Teresa Aluarez sus hermanas” that “el castillo y villa de Albarrazin” was under “jurisdicion del Reyno de Aragon” and was granted Albarracín “en su nombre, y de su madre, y hermanas”[1439]. The Crónica del Rey Fernando IV records the marriage of “don Alfonso, fijo del infante don Juan” and “doña Teresa, hermana de don Juan Nuñez”, dated to [1302] from the context[1440]. m (Palencia [1302]) as his first wife, don ALFONSO de Castilla Señor de Valencia de Campos y Mansilla, son of Infante don JUAN de Castilla y León Señor de Valencia de Campos & his first wife Margherita di Monferrato ([1282/83]-Morales Aug 1316).

2. don NUÑO González de Lara (-Lisbon 1291). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Juan Nuñez el Gordo, D. Nuño Gonçalez, que murio en Lisboa" as the children of "D. Nuño Gonçalez de Lara" and his wife "D. Teresa Alonso"[1441]. Salazar y Castro records his parentage[1442]. The Crónica del Rey Don Alfonso X records disputes between the king and "nuño Gonzalez, fijo de don Nuño…don Nuño su padre e a don Juan Nuñez su hermano"[1443]. The testament of "Nuño Gonzalez", dated 15 Jan 1286, appoints as his heir "doña Joanna Gomez mi muger” and “si...no ovies fijos de mi...a fijos de don Joan mi hermano"[1444]. Salazar y Castro quotes the charter of King Sancho dated 29 Oct 1288, confirming the privileges of the monastery of San Salvador de Sotillo de Haccam, witnessed by “D. Juan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalvez...D. Johan fijo de D. Johan Nuñez, D. Nuño Gonzalez so hermano”[1445]. m doña JUANA Gómez Girón, daughter of don GÓMEZ González Girón & his wife doña Aldara Añez de Sossa. The Livro Velho names "Joanna Gomes molher de D. Nuno de Lara" as the child of "D. Gomes Gonçalues Giron" and his wife[1446]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Juana Gomez" as the child of "D. Gomes Gonçalez Giron" and his wife "Doña Aldara Anez", recording in an earlier passage that "D. Nuño Gonçalez de Lara" married "D. Juana Gomez" and that the couple was childless[1447]. The testament of "Nuño Gonzalez", dated 15 Jan 1286, names "doña Joanna Gomez mi muger…don Joan mi hermano"[1448].

3. doña TERESA Núñez . Salazar y Castro states that José Pellicer records her parentage and marriage from records of the monastery of Caleruega, which he said that he had not seen[1449]. m don GIL Gómez de Aza Señor de Roa, son of don GOMEZ González & his wife doña Teresa Gil (-after 1274).

4. doña MARÍA Núñez . The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Maria Nuñez" as the illegitimate child of "D. Nuño Gonçalez de Lara"[1450]. Salazar y Castro records her parentage, her marriage, her husband´s parents, his first marriage and his two children by his first wife, adding that this couple was childless[1451]. m as his second wife, don DIEGO Gómez de Deza, son of don GÓMEZ Enríquez de Deza Señor de Probaons y Vendos & his first wife doña María Sánchez (daughter of don Sancho Fernández, son of Fernando II King of León). Comendador of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem.

Chapter 15. LIMIA

A. FAMILY of NUÑO VELÁSQUEZ

1. NUÑO Velásquez (-[13 Dec 1105/May 1112]). Conde, based around Limia. "…Comes Nunus de Limia…" subscribed the charter dated 28 Jan 1090 under which "Adefonsus rex Legionis et totius Hispanie imperator atque Fredenandi filius regis" granted privileges to Santiago de Compostela, with the advice of "generis mei comitis domini Raimundi"[1452]. "El conde D. Nuño…con su mujer Fronildi y sus hijos" donated property "que tenía…de su mujer in Villa Grati", for "meo subrino Velasco Petriz quem interfecerunt francijene", to Sahagun by charter dated 13 Jun 1104[1453]. m doña FRONILDE Sánchez, daughter of ---. "El conde D. Nuño…con su mujer Fronildi y sus hijos" donated property "que tenía…de su mujer in Villa Grati", for "meo subrino Velasco Petriz quem interfecerunt francijene", to Sahagun by charter dated 13 Jun 1104[1454]. Nuño & his wife had four children:

a) don ALFONSO Núñez (-after 28 Jun 1125). He was vexillifer of conde Raimundo [de Bourgogne] in 1102[1455]. Alférez of Alfonso VI King of Castile 24 Oct 1102[1456]. He was named in his father's 1104 grant[1457]. "…Alfonsus Muniz dominans in Lymia…" subscribed the charter dated May 1112 under which Queen Urraca granted property to "comiti dno Petro Froyalz et uxori uestre comitisse dne Maiori Roderici de Rarzena"[1458]. Conde 1118[1459]. m as her first husband, doña MARÍA Fernández, daughter of conde don FERNANDO Díaz de Asturias & his wife condesa doña Anderquina Gutiérrez. She married secondly as his second wife, don Suero Ordóñez. Alfonso & his wife had two children:

i) doña FRONILDE Alfonso .

ii) doña TERESA Alfonso .

b) don MENENDO Núñez . He was named in his father's 1104 grant[1460]. m ---. The name of Menendo´s wife is not known. Menendo & his wife had one child:

i) don VELASCO Menéndez de Limia (-after 16 Dec 1180). "…Velascus Menendi de Limia…" subscribed the charter dated 18 Jun 1161 under which Fernando II King of León donated half of Faro to Santiago de Compostela[1461]. "…Gomez comes de Castella, Velascus comes in Limia, Gomezius comes in Trastamara, Fernandus Pontii comes…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Dec 1180 under which Fernando II King of León donated Pontevedra and the castro de Cotovad to Santiago de Compostela[1462].

c) don SANCHO Núñez de Barbosa . He was named in his father's 1104 grant[1463]. m ([separated]) doña --- Henríques, daughter of conde don HENRIQUE de Portugal & his wife Infanta doña Teresa Alfonso de Portugal. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by two charters of Afonso I King of Portugal dated Dec 1166 in which the son of Sancho Núñez, conde don Velasco Sánchez, is described as "filius sororis eius"[1464]. The name of Sancho´s wife is uncertain. According to Barton, citing Mattoso, she was Sancha Henriques[1465]. On the other hand, Sousa reports that Antonio Brandaõ (writing in 1632) states that Henrique´s reported daughter “Teresa” could have been the wife of “D. Sancho Nunes de Barbosa”[1466]. However, Brandaõ cites no document in support of the statement, other than the Nobiliario´s report which follows and one of King Alfonso´s Dec 1166 charters quoted above[1467]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos states that “D. Fernan Mendez el Bravo Bragançon” married “D. Teresa Alonso”, daughter of Afonso I King of Portugal by "D. Elvira Gualtar", adding that the king had separated Teresa from her previous husband “don Sancho Nuñez” with whom he had fought[1468]. The mid-14th century Nobiliario can hardly be considered a reliable source for events two centuries earlier, unless corroborated by other documentation. However, one solution to this confused situation may be that the same sister of King Alfonso I (presumably Sancha) married both noblemen, as reported by the Nobiliario, which merely mistook her parentage and her name. If that is correct, Sancha married secondly dom Fernando Mendes “o Bravo” Senhor de Bragança. Sancho & his wife had one child:

i) don VELASCO Sánchez (-after 31 Jul 1181). Conde in May 1159. Brandaõ quotes a charter dated 1166 for Santa Cruz de Coimbra which records a donation confirmed by King Alfonso I and “Fernandus Alfonsi filius eius, Comes Velascus filius sororis eius...”[1469]. He served as mayordomo of King Afonso I between 1169 and 1172, when he went into exile at the court of Alfonso VIII King of Castile 1173/74 and that of Fernando II King of León 1174/81[1470]. The dating clauses of charters dated 3 Feb 1178 and 3 Feb 1180, which record donations to the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, name "…Comite Velasco tenente Bergidum…"[1471].

Teresa hija de la Reina usurpada i del Conde D. Enrique", recording in a later passage that "D. Fernandarias Baticela llamado el Daño" married "D. Teresa Vermuiz"[1499]. Argote de Molina records that "don Fernan Yañez" married "doña Teresa Bermudez de Trava, hixa de don Bermudo Pérez de Trava…nieto de don Armengol el de Valladolid"[1500].

Chapter 16. MANZANEDO

"…Domna Sancia…cum filio suo domno Gomiz" confirmed a charter of the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla dated 1086[1555]. "Aldefonsus totus Ispanie rex" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 1077, witnessed by "…Gomessanus comes de Borobia…"[1556]. "…Gomez Gundisalvus…" subscribed the charter dated 17 Aug 1077 which records an agreement between Bishop Diego Peláez and the abbot of Antealtares, San Fagundo[1557]. Alférez of Alfonso VI King of Castile 19 Feb 1092 to 14 Mar 1099. Conde [1096/98]. "Adefonsus…Ispanie imperator" permitted the abbey of Silos to establish outposts near the abbey, with the consent of "uxoris mee Berte regine", by charter dated 20 Jan [1096/98], confirmed by "…comes…Gomiz Gonçalviz armiger regis…"[1558].

"Urraca…tocius Ispanie regina" confirmed rights of the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated Aug 1110, confirmed by "…Gomiz Conzalvez comes Castellanorum…"[1561]. The Annales Complutense record that “Comitem Domno Gomez” was killed “VII Kal Nov…in campo de Spina” in 1111 by “Rex Adefonsus Aragonensis et Comes Enricus”[1562]. The Crónica Latina records that “el conde Gómez, llamado de Candespina” was killed in battle against Alfonso I King of Aragon at Sepúlveda[1563].

m doña URRACA Muñoz, daughter of [conde MUÑO González & his wife condesa doña Mayor] (-before 1130). It is not certain that Urraca can be the daughter of Muño González as neither she nor her children are named in the 20 Sep 1120 charter of her supposed sister Jimena Muñoz, which appears to refer to all the donor´s relatives with whom she held an interest in the monastery of Santa Cruz de Castañeda. Barton cites a charter dated 17 Jun 1126 in which her son Rodrigo Gómez names his mother Urraca Muñoz[1564]. According to Torres[1565], the widow of Gómez González "de Candaspina" married secondly, as his first wife, don Beltrán de Risnel.

Mistress: doña URRACA Queen of Castile and León, daughter of don ALFONSO VI King of Castile and León & his third wife Berta de Bourgogne-Comté (late 1080[1566]-Saldaña 8 Mar 1126, bur León, Monastery of San Isidro). The Crónica Latina records that “el conde Gómez, llamado de Candespina” was “excesivamente y más de lo que convenía familiar a la reina”[1567].

Gómez & his wife had four children:

1. don RODRIGO Gómez de Manzanedo (-1146). Barton names "Diego, Estefanía, Rodrigo Gómez, Sancha" as the children of Gómez González and his wife but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[1568]. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that "Rodrigo Gómez who was later made a count, and his brother Diego…" made peace with Alfonso VII King of Castile after his accession in 1126[1569]. He was awarded the Señoría of Asturias de Santillana in 1130. Conde 1131. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris records that "the Asturian Count Gonzalo Peláez...[and] his kinsman Rodrigo Gómez" rebelled in 1132, that Rodrigo Gómez was captured, stripped of his lordship and banished[1570]. The precise relationship between Rodrigo Gómez and conde don Gonzalo Peláez has not yet been found. He was presumably restored to favour as King Alfonso VII granted him a number of properties 21 Nov 1137. "…Comes Fernandus de Gallecia, Comes Rodericus Gomez, Comes Poncius de Cabreira…" subscribed the charter dated 31 Jan 1145 under which King Alfonso VII donated "villam…Certame" to Santiago de Compostela[1571]. He was tutor of Infante don García de Castilla, son of King Alfonso VII[1572]. "Comes Rudericus filius Gomessani comitis…cum coniuge mea Eluira comitissa" donated Villaverde to the convent of Oña by charter dated 1146[1573].

a) don GONZALO Rodríguez (-1205). Conde de Bureba. Alférez 27 Feb 1149 to 8 Oct 1154. He sold Belorado to Alfonso VIII King of Castile in 1202, mentioning his father, his son and his nephew Rodrigo Sánchez in the document[1578]. "Aldefonsus…tocius Hyspanie imperator…cum uxore mea imperatrice domna Rica et…filiis meis Sanctio et Ferrando regibus" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 28 Oct 1155, confirmed by "...Gonsalvuz Ruderiz, Alvaros Ruderiz…"[1579]. He became estranged from King Alfonso VIII after Aug 1175 and took up residence at the court of León between Jul 1176 and 18 Aug 1180[1580].

4. doña SANCHA Gómez . Barton names "Diego, Estefanía, Rodrigo Gómez, Sancha" as the children of Gómez González and his wife but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[1590].

B. FAMILY of GÓMEZ GONZÁLEZ de MANZANEDO

1. GÓMEZ González de Manzanedo (-12 Oct 1182). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Conde D. Gomez de Mançanedo, D. Elvira Gonçalez" as the children of "D. Gonçalo Moñoz"[1591]. Salazar y Castro states that Gómez González was the son of Gonzalo Gómez de Manzanedo (and his unknown wife), and extends his ancestry back along completely different lines from what is shown above[1592]. Sánchez de Mora suggests that is incorrect[1593]. Barton marks the parentage of Gómez González as unknown, saying that "his family origins are obscure"[1594]. No other information has so far come to light on the parentage of Gómez González. Nor has any information been found about how he inherited Manzanedo. Alférez of Sancho II King of Castile 18 Jun 1155 to 20 Nov 1156, and Mayordomo 25 Mar 1157 to 13 Jul 1158. Mayordomo of Fernando II King of Leon 21 Oct 1164 to 13 Jul 1165, of Alfonso VIII King of Castile 28 Apr 1173[1595]. Conde 1170. m ([1141/47]) doña MILIA, daughter of --- (-6 Dec 1186). Her marriage is confirmed by an inscription in the monastery of Santa María la Real de Aguilar which records the burial of her grandson "…Don Juan Perez, fijo de Juan Gomez, nieto del conde don Gomez y de la condesa doña Emilia"[1596]. Two different parentages have been proposed for the wife of Gómez González: according to Salazar y Acha[1597], she was doña Milia Pérez, daughter of conde don Pedro González de Lara & his wife condesa doña Eva --- According to Salazar y Castro, she was doña Mayor [Amilia] Manrique, daughter of conde don Manrique Pérez de Lara & his wife Ermesinde Ctss de Narbonne[1598]. Barton records that she confirmed a grant of property by her supposed sister doña María Manrique to the bishopric of Burgos 27 May 1182[1599]. Barton´s source has not yet been consulted directly, but it is possible that it does not explicitly refer to the relationship between the grantor and Mayor. The absence of a daughter named Mayor from the charter of her supposed mother dated 14 Aug 1164 also suggests that this affiliation may not be correct, although the use of the name Manrique for one of his sons suggests that it is right. Gómez & his first wife had eight children:

a) don MANRIQUE Gómez (-after 1180). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Gil Gomez sin hijos, D. Manrique Gomez, D. Elvira Gomez" as the children of "El Conde D. Gomes de Mançanedo"[1600]. Señor de Manzanedo.

The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Alfonso & his wife had one child:

a) doña MARÍA Alfonso (-after 15 Jun 1285). The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Maria Alonso llamado de Usero" as the child of "D. Alonso Tellez Tizon", recording that she married "D. Juan Garcia Usero, señor del lugar deste nombre" and was afterwards mistress of "el Rey D. Sancho de Castilla", an earlier passage naming "D. María de Ucero" as the mother of King Sancho´s daughter "D. Violante Sanchez"[1876]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 17 Apr 1293 under which "Fernán Ruiz de Castro pertiguero mayor de Tierra de Santiago" granted arras to "su mujer hija del rey Sancho IV y de doña María Alfón Uceiro"[1877]. The testament of "Don Martin Alfonso fijo de Don Alfonso Tellez e de Donna Teresa Sanchez", dated 15 Jun 1285, bequeathed property to "…mia sobrina Donna Maria Alfonso, hija de mio hermano Don Alfonso Tellez…en Vallaries e…en Valloria"[1878]. m don JUAN García de Usero Señor de Usero, son of ---.

As noted above, the Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Ruy Gonçalez, D. Elvira Gonçalez Giron" as the children of "D. Gonçalo Roiz Giron" and his wife "D. Elvira Diaz", a later passage recording that "D. Juan Alonso de Tello" married "D. Elvira Gonçalez Giron"[1885]. From a chronological point of view, it is unlikely that the wife of Juan Alfonso Tellez de Meneses, who died in 1268, was the daughter of Gonzalo Rodríguez by his first marriage. However, as noted above, Salazar y Castro records that Leonor, daughter of Gonzalo by his second wife, married Gonzalo Gómez de Aza. Assuming that her parentage is as stated by the Nobiliario, it is likely that Juan Alfonso´s wife was the daughter of Gonzalo Rodríguez by his second marriage, but presumably she was not named Leonor. The Livro Velho records that "D. João Affonso" married "D. Beringuela Giroa"[1886]. Juan & his wife had two children:

a) don RODRIGO Yáñez de Meneses . The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Rodrigoannez, D. Gonçaleannez el Raposo" as the children of "D. Juan Alonso de Tello" and his wife "D.

The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Teresa Sanchez" as the daughter of King Alfonso IV by "una Dueña de Burova", adding in a later passage that "D. Ruy Gil de Villalobos" married "D. Teresa Sanchez", and in a third passage that "Conde D. Juan Alonso de Portugal" married "D. Teresa Sanchez"[1892]. Argote Molina states that "don Juan Alfonso" married "doña Teresa hija bastarda del Rey don Sancho de Castilla" and that he was childless by her[1893]. m secondly doña MARÍA Coronel, daughter of don PEDRO Coronel & his wife doña Urraca Artal de Luna. Argote Molina states that "don Juan Alfonso" married secondly "doña Maria Coronel hija de don Pedro Coronel y de doña Urraca Artal de Luna", for which he was imprisoned by the king for having married without his licence, but released by "la Reyna doña Maria"[1894].

João Affonso de Portugal" and his wife "D. Teresa Sanches filha d´elrey D. Sancho de Castella", adding that Teresa married "Affonso Sanches de Portugal filho delrey D. Diniz…e de D. Aldoná Rodrigues de Tella"[1896].

(b) doña VIOLANTE Martínez de Meneses . The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Teresa Martinez, D. Violante" as the children of "Conde D. Juan Alonso de Portugal" and his wife "D. Teresa Sanchez"[1898]. The Livro Velho names "a condesa D. Violante Sanches e D. Tareia Martins" as the two daughters of "D. D. João Affonso de Portugal" and his wife "D. Teresa Sanches filha d´elrey D. Sancho de Castella", adding that Violante married "o conde D. Martim Gil de Portugal" but was childless[1899]. m conde dom MARTIM Gil de Portugal, son of ---.

b) don GONZALO Yáñez de Meneses "el Raposo" . The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Rodrigoannez, D. Gonçaleannez el Raposo" as the children of "D. Juan Alonso de Tello" and his wife "D. Elvira Gonçalez Giron"[1900]. The testament of "Don Martin Alfonso fijo de Don Alfonso Tellez e de Donna Teresa Sanchez", dated 15 Jun 1285, bequeathed property to "…mio sobrino Don Gonçalo Yannez…derecho en Frechilla…"[1901]. m doña URRACA Fernández, daughter of don FERNANDO Yáñez de Lima & his wife doña Teresa Yáñez. The Livro Velho names "D. João Fernandes e D. Fernão Fernandes e Ruy Fernandes, Urraca Fernandes e Mayor Fernandes" as children of "Fernando Annes de Lima filho de João Fernandes o bom de Lima" and his wife, adding that Urraca married "Gonçalo Annes Raposo"[1902]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Juan Fernandez de Lima, D. Fernan Fernandez de Lima Pancenteno, D. Urraca Fernandez, D. Ines Fernandez" as the children of "D. Fernandeannez de Lima" and his wife "D. Teresaannez", adding in a later passage that "Gonçaleannez Tello el Raposo" married "D. Urraca Fernandez"[1903]. Argote Molina records that "Gonçalo Yañez de Meneses…llamado por el sobrenombre Raposo" married "doña Urraca hija de Fernan Yañez de Luna" and names their descendants as shown below[1904]. Gonzalo & his wife had six children:

i) don JUAN González de Meneses Raposo . The Livro Velho names "João Gonçalues e Ruy Gonçalues e Affonso Telles e Sancha Gonçalues" as children of "Gonçalo Annes Raposo" and his wife[1905].

Maria Gonzalez" as the children of "Gonçaleannez Tello el Raposo" and his wife "D. Urraca Fernandez"[1906]. m [firstly] doña TERESA Álvarez, daughter of ---. There is confusion about the identity of the wife or wives of Juan González. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Teresa Alvarez" as the child of "Alonso [error for Alvaro] Diaz" and his wife "D. Juana Perez", adding in another passage that "Juan Gonçalez Raposo" married "D. Teresa Alvarez"[1907]. If this is correct, she was doña Teresa Álvarez, daughter of don Álvaro Díaz & his wife doña Juana Pérez. However, the same source records a second marriage of Juan González: naming "D. Teresa Alvarez" as the child of "D. Alvaro Diaz de Castañeda", and recording that "Juan Gonçalez Raposo" married secondly "D. Teresa Diaz" (which appears to refer to this same person)[1908]. If this is correct, she was doña Teresa Álvarez, daughter of don Álvaro Díaz de Castañeda & his wife doña --- Pérez. The Nobiliario records the maternal grandfather of both these individuals as "Pedro Aznarez", which appears to be more than coincidence. It is assumed therefore that the attempts to identify the father of Teresa Álvarez are just guesses based on her patronymic. [m secondly doña TERESA Díaz, daughter of ---. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "Juan Gonçalez Raposo" married secondly "D. Teresa Diaz"[1909]. However, as noted above, this appears to refer to "D. Teresa Alvarez" as the child of "D. Alvaro Diaz de Castañeda", which begs the question whether Juan González in fact only married once, to Teresa Álvarez.] .

ii) don RODRIGO González de Meneses Raposo . The Livro Velho names "João Gonçalues e Ruy Gonçalues e Affonso Telles e Sancha Gonçalues" as children of "Gonçalo Annes Raposo" and his wife[1910].

Salazar y Castro records his parentage[1912]. m doña MARÍA Núñez Daza, daughter of don NUÑO Gil de Aza & his wife doña Aldonza Rodríguez de Saldaña.

Neither of these suggested affiliations appears satisfactory from a chronological point of view, assuming that the birth date of Enrique´s father is correctly estimated to [1246] (see the document CASTILE & LEÓN KINGS), although the first possibility seems more likely than the second. This hypothesis is corroborated by Ayala´s Crónica de Pedro I which records that King Pedro in 1354 declared that “él lo mostraria que con derecho se podia partir de la...Doña Blanca, é que non era su muger” in order to marry “Doña Juana de Castro fija de Don Pedro de Castro que decian de la Guerra...muger que fuera de Don Diego de Haro fijo de Don Lope de Haro é nieto de Don Diego Señor de Vizcaya...”, adding that “Don Enrique Enriquez” was married to “Doña Urraca su tia de la dicha Doña Juana, hermana de Doña Isabel su madre” and that he supported the plan because the king granted him “el Alcazar de Jaen é el castillo de Dueñas é el castillo de Castro Xeriz”[2131]. m don ENRIQUE Enríquez “el Mozo”, son of don ENRIQUE Enríquez [de Castilla] Señor de Puebla de los Infantes & his wife doña Estefanía Rodríguez de Ceballos, Señora de Vado de las Estacas y Villalba (-after 1354).]

Don Fernando had two illegitimate children by Mistress (1):

4. doña SANCHA Fernández de Traba (-after 4 May 1184). Salazar y Acha states that Sancha was the daughter of don Fernando by his mistress Queen Teresa of Portugal[2377]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Sancha Vermuiz, D. Teresa Vermuiz" as the children of "D. Vermui Perez Potestade de Trava" and his first wife "la Reina D. Teresa de Portugal"[2378]. "Odarius Ordonis" granted land at "Carualieto" to "domno Aluaro Rodriquidis et uxori uestre infanti domne Sancie", who had helped secure the release of "cognato meo Petro Tinea [Cancha]" from prison, by charter dated 25 May 1150[2379].

She bought property at Rioseras from her third husband 4 May 1184[2383]. m firstly (before 25 May 1150) conde don ÁLVARO Rodríguez, son of don RODRIGO Vélaz & his wife doña Urraca Álvarez (-[1166/20 Jan 1167]). m secondly ([Jan 1167/7 Sep 1170]) as his second wife, conde don PEDRO Alfonso, son of don ALFONSO Vermúdez & his wife doña Urraca Raimundo (-after 23 Sep 1173). m thirdly (before Apr 1178) as his second wife, conde don GONZALO Rodríguez, son of don RODRIGO Gómez & his wife doña Elvira Ramírez (-1205).]

5. doña TERESA Fernández de Traba (- ----, bur Perales, Cistercian Abbey). "Conde Nuño Pérez de Lara y…la condesa doña Teresa Fernández de Trava" donated "las villas de Chillón y de Almadén" to the Order of Calatrava by charter dated 27 Mar 1168[2384]. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Sancha Vermuiz, D. Teresa Vermuiz" as the children of "D. Vermui Perez Potestade de Trava" and his first wife "la Reina D. Teresa de Portugal", in a later passage recording that "El Conde D. Nuño de Lara" married "D. Teresa Fernandez"[2385]. According to Salazar y Castro, Teresa Fernández was the illegitimate daughter of Fernando Pérez de Traba by his mistress Queen Teresa of Portugal[2386]. He says that this is inferred from the charter dated 1131, under which “la condesa Doña Loba” donated "el Coto de Anca" to the monastery of San Martín de Joyba, which was subscribed by “comes Fredenandus Petri filius comitis Petri…cum filia mea nata regina dona Tereyxa”[2387]. Salazar y Castro also quotes a charter dated 14 Feb 1142 which is confirmed by "comes dom. Munio Petri cum uxore sua comitissa domna Tharasia filia comitis dom. Ferrandi et domnæ Tharasia Regina"[2388]. This all appears straightforward. However, it is confused by reports that Teresa Fernández married, as his second wife, Fernando II King of León, their children being born in [1178/80]. Lucas de Tuy, for example, records that "Rex Fernandus" married secondly "Tharasiam qua fuerat uxor Nunii comitis de Castella"[2389]. Rodrigo de Jiménez who says that the king married "Tarasiam filiam comitis Fernandi, quæ fuerat uxor comitis Nunii de Castella"[2390]. Salazar y Castro highlights the chronological impossibility that this second marriage could be correct[2391]. Szabolcs de Vajay accepts the second marriage of Teresa Fernández with the king, but supposedly finds the solution to the chronological difficulties by saying that she was Fernando Pérez´s daughter "by Sancha González (and not, as is often alleged, by the Infanta Teresa of Portugal)"[2392]. Unfortunately, this does not resolve the issues. The marriages of Fernando Pérez de Traba´s children by his legitimate wife are noted between 1142 and 1150, which would place their births in the period [1120/30]. This is still too early for the possible birth date of the second wife of Fernando II King of León, given the births of the couple´s children in [1178/80]. The question is resolved by Salazar y Castro who quotes sources which confirm that the second wife of Fernando II King of León was in fact the daughter of Nuño Pérez de Lara and his wife Teresa Fernández (see below)[2393]. If this is correct, there is no difficulty with asserting that Teresa Fernández was the daughter of the queen of Portugal. The archbishop of Toledo rented houses in Toledo to "comes Nunio et uxori uestre comitisse domne Teresie" by charter dated 1176[2394]. "Comes Nunio et uxor mea comitissa dompna Tharesia" donated property to the chapel of St Thomas of Canterbury in Toledo cathedral by charter dated Jul 1177[2395]. Salazar y Castro records that Nuño Pérez and his wife were both buried in the monastery of Perales[2396]. m (before 14 Feb 1142) don NUÑO Pérez de Lara, son of don PEDRO González de Lara & his first wife doña Eva [Pérez de Traba] ([1112]-Cuenca 1177, bur Perales, Cistercian Abbey).

The dating clauses of charters dated 28 Jan [1175] and 21 Mar 1175, which record donations to the monastery of San Pedro de Montes, name "…Comite Gomez tenente Bergidum…"[2400].

Torres Sevilla assumes that he was Gutierre Fernández de Castro. Salazar Acha[2584] maintains that this Gutierre Fernández was the probable son of Fernando Hermenegildez & his wife Juliana ---, suggesting that "chronological reasons" prevent his co-identity with Gutierre Fernández de Castro. There are three reasons why Torres Sevilla´s co-identity theory is unlikely to be correct: (1) the unlikelihood of the same person holding the post of mayordomo (three times) over a period of 40 years; (2) the advanced age at which don Gutierre would have died, unusual by contemporary standards, although Torres Sevilla does not see this as insuperable[2585]; and (3) the chronological difficulty it would introduce into the question of his father's royal origin, although this suggested origin is highly speculative in any case. m as her second husband, ---, widow of RODRIGO ---, daughter of ---. Gutierre & his wife had [two] children:

a) [RODRIGO Gutiérrez . His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 4 Mar 1121 in which “la condesa Anderquina uxor comitis Suarii” donated “portionem fratris mei Munionis Roderici” and “divisam fratris mei Roderico Gutierriz”[2586].]

Cadenas suggests[2592] that he is the same Melendo Núñez who is recorded in the Historia Compostelana as rebelling against Queen Urraca in May 1116, and accompanied the Queen against Gelmírez in 1121. He also suggests that the marriage ended in separation. m as her first husband, doña MARÍA Fróilaz, daughter of conde FROILA Díaz & his wife condesa doña Estefanía Sánchez de Navarra (-after 1 Jun 1153).

The 1 Jul 1156 testament of María Froilaz names her three children[2596]. She appears jointly with her second husband 23 Nov 1161[2597]. Melendo & his wife had two children:
