Name Suffix: Count Galicia

Greve av Castilla 923 - 970.
Fernan Gonzales var den første greve av Castilla, den mest berømte av sitt fyrstehus.
Tradisjonen holder ham for å være en etterkommer til dommeren Nunio Rasura og sønn til
greve Gonzalo Nuniéz. Det er riktig at han nedstammet fra de gamle dommere av Castilla,
men nyere undersøkelser viser at hans far var Gonzalo Fernandèz. Sagnet om at han var
hyrde hos maurerne er neppe korrekt.
Castillaslekten var grever av Castilla fra 923 til 1026. Etter at slekten døde ut ble Castilla
kongedømme i union med Navarra og senere med Leon.
I 904 deltok han i slaget ved San Quirce og stiftet samme sted et kloster. I 923
forekommer han som greve av Burgos, etter kongens ordre. I 927 kaller han seg greve av
Castilla og i 931 greve av Castilla og Alava. Alliert med Ramiro II av Leon vant han en seier
over kaliffen av Córdova, Abd-er-Rahman III ved Osma i 933 eller 934. I 935 antok han titelen
greve av hele Castilla. I 934, 938 og 939 vant de et annet slag ved Simancas, hvor maurerne
skal ha tapt 80.ooo mann. Muselmennene led et tredje nederlag ved Dazio.
Fernan søkte nå å gjøre seg uavhengig av kongeriket Leon, og allierte seg med
Ramiros motstandere. Han ble tatt til fange, men oppnådde tilgivelse, og ga sin datter Urraca til
Ramiros sønn Ordogno III.
I 940 anla han Sepulveda.
Han ble bisatt i klosteret i Arlanza, men er i nyere tid overført til Colegiata de
Covarrubias.

As the kings of Leon expanded eastward, they reached Burgos. Because the area
there was protected by castles built to guard the frontiers of the newly
acquired territory, the region became know as Castilla, or Castile. Under
Count Fernan Gonzales, the region became independent of Leon, and in 932
Fernan declared himself first King of Castile. Later, Sancho, King of Navarre,
captured much of Leon & Castile, and made son Ferdinand I King of Castile. On
Sancho's death the kingdom was divided amongst his three sons - big trouble!

Ferdinand II of Castile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferdinand II González (930–970) was the first independent count of Castile, son of Gonzalo Fernández de Lara, who had been named count of Arlanza and the Duero around the year 900, a descendent of Nuño Rasura, one of the two judges from Castile, and of Rodrigo, the first of the counts from Castile.

Ferdinand González was a colourful character of legendary status in Iberia and a member of the influential Lara family. In the year 930, Ferdinand's name appears with the title of count inside the administrative organization of eastern the Kingdom of León.

He grew up in the castle of Lara and inherited his father's title after the capture and death of his brother, Nuño Fernández.

In 931, Ferdinand gathered under his control a strong military force composed of troops from the counties of Burgos, Asturias, Santillana, Lantaron, Álava, Castile, and Lara. His military prowess came to prominence in the Battle of Simancas in 939 and then at Sepulveda, where he wrested the region from the Moors and repopulated it. As his power increased, so did his independence from León. During this period he married Sancha, the sister of the king of Navarre, García III.

After having fought with Ramiro II of León against the Arabs, and after the Battle of Simancas and the retreat of the Muslims, Ferdinand was dissatisfied because the king of León distributed his troops in the frontier towns and he rose in rebellion against him. He was, however, defeated and made prisoner in 944, which lasted for 3 years until he became reconciled with his sovereign, giving his daughter Urraca in marriage to the king's son, Ordoño, who afterwards became King Ordoño III.

Notwithstanding this alliance, Ferdinand continued to foment trouble and discord in León, aiming to secure his independence. He successively aided Sancho I against his brother Ordoño III, and Ordoño IV, son of Alfonso IV, against Sancho himself.

Upon the death of Ramiro II of Leon in 951, the kingdom of León experienced a dynastic crisis that Ferdinand played out to his advantage.

Initially he supported the demands of Sancho I against his brother Ordoño III, but when he failed, he was forced to recognize Ordoño as king. Ordoño III's early death allowed Ferdinand to recover his maneuvering capacity, although in this occasion he didn't support his old ally, Sancho's, pretenses, but rather allied himself with the son of Alfonso IV, Ordoño IV. Defeated in 960 through Navarrese intervention, he was captured by King García of Navarre, but he recovered his freedom after making various territorial concessions. With the kingdom of León weakened and in disorder, Ferdinand slowly assured his position as legitimate independent count of Castile.

After his death the county was left to his son García Fernáandez. His remains were buried in the monastery of San Pedro of Arlanza.

His life and feats are recorded in an anonymous poem, The Poem of Fernán González, written between 1250 and 1271 and conserved as an incomplete copy from the fifteenth century.

"The legend of his kidnap as a young child is commemorated in the 13th century "Poema de Fernán González". Conde de Lara 929. He was installed in 932 as FERNANDO González Conde de Castilla y Álava. During his rule, he united the territory of Castile into a single county, incorporating in particular Lantarón in 935, Cerezo and Grañón in 936. Following the humiliating peace imposed on the kingdom of Navarre by Abd al-Rahman III Caliph of Córdoba in 934, the Caliph invaded Castile, sacking Burgos and destroying the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña before moving into the territory of León. However, Conde Fernando allied himself with Ramiro II King of León and Queen Toda regent of Navarre, their combined forces defeating the Caliph's troops at Alhandega/al-Khandaq, near Simancas in 939. Conde Fernando exploited this victory by recapturing Sepúlveda in 940. In [943/44], he rebelled against King Ramiro II, allied with Diego Múñoz Conde de Saldaña, but was captured and his lands temporarily confiscated. Caliph Abd al-Rahman's troops launched further raids against Galicia and Castile between 953 and 955, but were defeated by Conde Fernando near San Esteban de Gormaz in 955. Conde Fernando became embroiled in the civil war in León, supporting in turn King Sancho I and later his son-in-law King Ordoño IV, but was captured by troops from Navarre at Nájera in 960. After being released by Urraca de Navarra, whom he married, he formed an alliance with Navarre and Barcelona against Caliph Al-Hakam II. The alliance was unsuccessful and Conde Fernando lost San Esteban de Gormaz and Atienza to the Caliph's troops. Although Castile was considerably weakened by Muslim attacks during the last years of his rule, Conde Fernando had been a dynamic leader who established the full autonomy of the county of Castile, and competently defended it against Muslim incursions. His exploits are commemorated in vernacular Castilian romances."

Biografía

Personaje teñido de tintes legendarios, era miembro de la influyente familia Lara. La base patrimonial de su familia era el castillo de Lara (Lara de los Infantes), estableciendo un poderoso linaje que alcanzará gran influencia en el reino leonés. Crece en el castillo de Lara y hereda el título de su padre tras el apresamiento y muerte de su tío Nuño Fernández.

En el año 929, Fernán González aparece en documentos con el título de conde al frente del alfoz de Lara, dentro de la organización administrativa de la marca oriental del reino de León. En el 931, Fernán González logró reunir el gobierno de los condados de Burgos, Lara, Lantarón, Cerezo y Álava[4] y es mencionado como conde de Castilla por primera vez en un documento del año 932.

En el 932, Ramiro II de León organizó una expedición contra la fortaleza de Magerit a la que acudió Fernán González; la ciudad fue tomada así como su castillo obteniendo de ello un gran botín, sin embargo Magerit fue retomada por los musulmanes tras el abandono de los castellanos y de los leoneses. Un año más tarde Abd al-Rahman III contraataca cercando Osma y San Esteban de Gormaz, Ramiro II acudió en ayuda de Fernán González logrando levantar el cerco de San Esteban de Gormaz y venciendo junto a Fernán González una batalla cerca de Osma. En el 934 Abd al-Rahman avanza con su ejército sin ninguna oposición, asola Álava y destruye Burgos, pero es nuevamente derrotado por Ramiro y Fernán en Osma.

Tuvo un papel destacado en la batalla de Simancas[5] (939) en la que fueron derrotadas las tropas de Abd al-Rahman III, a continuación , conquistó Sepúlveda y la repobló (940), así como Riaza y Fresno. Ese mismo año concedió un fuero a Sepúlveda, dicho fuero estaba concebido para atraer repobladores a esa zona extremadamente peligrosa por su situación fronteriza con las tierras musulmanas.

Viendo su poder acrecentado, empezó a actuar de manera cada vez más independiente del reino de León, y siguiendo esta política, se casó con Sancha Sánchez, hermana del rey de Navarra, García Sánchez I (más tarde se casaría con su hija, Urraca Díaz), sobre estas fechas parece ser que se permitió en Castilla el empleo del derecho consuetudinario en detrimento del Liber Iudiciorum aplicado en León.

Las relaciones entre Ramiro II y Fernán González se enfriaron enormemente por motivos territoriales como el nombramiento de Ansur Fernández como conde de Monzón tapando la expansión de Fernán González hacia los territorios comprendidos entre el río Cea y el río Pisuerga (excluyendo el Condado de Saldaña en el norte), con lo que Fernán González se enfrenta a Ramiro que le hace encarcelar en León en el año 944 junto con su aliado en la rebelión, el conde de Saldaña Diego Muñoz que fue encarcelado en el Castillo de Gordón, Ramiro nombra en sustitución de Fernán González a Ansur Fernández como Conde de Castilla. Después de permanecer alrededor de un año en prisión, Fernán González recupera el condado y jura fidelidad a Ramiro II.

Muerto Ramiro II en el 951, el reino de León quedó sumido en una crisis dinástica que Fernán González supo aprovechar en su favor. Inicialmente apoyó las reclamaciones de Sancho el Craso contra su hermano Ordoño III, pero, al no prosperar su causa, se vio obligado a reconocer a Ordoño como rey. Paralelamente, en el año 955 Fernán González derrota a las tropas musulmanas en San Esteban de Gormaz.

La temprana muerte de Ordoño III permitió al castellano recuperar su capacidad de maniobra, aunque en esta ocasión no apoyó las pretensiones de su antiguo aliado, el rey García Sánchez que pretendía que Sancho el Craso fuera rey de León, sino que se alineó con el primo de Ordoño III, Ordoño IV que fue elegido rey de León. Derrotado en el 960 por la intervención Navarra, fue capturado por García Sánchez en Cirueña, pero recuperó la libertad tras hacer diversas concesiones territoriales.

Para reforzar su posición frente a los demás territorios cristianos, casó a su hija Urraca Fernández con el hijo de Ramiro II, Ordoño III, más tarde Urraca sería repudiada por Ordoño III gracias al apoyo que prestó Fernán González a Sancho el Craso. Después de la muerte de Ordoño III, Urraca se casó con Ordoño IV que por entonces era aliado de Fernán González, y tras la muerte de Ordoño IV se casó con Sancho Garcés II de Navarra. Otra de sus hijas Muniadona (o Nuña) fue dada en matrimonio a Gómez Díaz, hijo del conde de Saldaña, Diego Muñoz.

En el 963 pacta una tregua con Alhakén II tras la toma de San Esteban de Gormaz por los musulmanes, el conde castellano se comporta ya de hecho como conde independiente.

Con el reino de León debilitado y en una situación de desorden, Fernán González fue asegurando lentamente su posición como señor hereditario del condado independiente de Castilla, llegando a gobernar un extenso territorio desde el mar Cantábrico hasta más al sur del río Duero. Al morir, dejó el condado a su hijo García Fernández estableciendo el principio de la sucesión hereditaria del título de conde de Castilla.

Su vida y hazañas están recogidas en un poema anónimo, el Poema de Fernán González, escrito entre 1250 y 1271 y conservado en una copia incompleta del siglo XV. Los restos de Fernán González fueron enterrados en el Monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza y posteriormente trasladados en 1841 a la Colegiata de San Cosme y San Damián de Covarrubias junto con los de su esposa Sancha.

Fernán González, Señor de Castilla. Obra de Juan Ricci. Monasterio de San Millán de Yuso.A Fernán González, la historia le ha otorgado el título de "el Buen Conde". Dicho título aparece en innumerables ocasiones a lo largo de todo el Poema de Fernán González, hasta en 33 ocasiones. En la primera estrofa en la que se refiere a González en estos términos:

«Dijo don fray Pelayo delante su señor:

Fágote, el buen Conde, de tanto sabidor

Vencerás todo el poder del moro Almozor.»

Tan importante es este título que incluso la última estrofa del Poema hace referencia a Fernán González como el Buen Conde obviando su nombre:

Upon the death of Ramiro II of Leon in 951, the kingdom of León experienced a dynastic crisis that Ferdinand played out to his advantage.

Initially he supported the demands of Sancho I against his brother Ordoño III, but when he failed, he was forced to recognize Ordoño as king. Ordoño III's early death allowed Ferdinand to recover his maneuvering capacity, although in this occasion he didn't support his old ally, Sancho's, pretenses, but rather allied himself with the son of Alfonso IV, Ordoño IV. Defeated in 960 through Navarrese intervention, he was captured by King García of Navarre, but he recovered his freedom after making various territorial concessions. With the kingdom of León weakened and in disorder, Ferdinand slowly assured his position as legitimate independent count of Castile.

After his death the county was left to his son García Fernández. His remains were buried in the monastery of San Pedro of Arlanza.

His life and feats are recorded in an anonymous poem, The Poem of Fernán González, written between 1250 and 1271 and conserved as an incomplete copy from the fifteenth century.

--------------------
Ferdinand González (930–970) was the first independent count of Castile, son of Gonzalo Fernández de Lara, who had been named count of Arlanza and the Duero around the year 900, a descendant of Nuño Rasura, one of the two judges from Castile, and perhaps of Rodrigo, the first of the counts from Castile. His mother Muniadona Ramírez was so well remebered that the later Counts of Castile would sometimes be recorded by Iberian Muslim scholars as Ibn Māma Duna (descendant of Muniadona).

Ferdinand González was a colourful character of legendary status in Iberia and a member of the influential Lara family. In the year 930, Ferdinand's name appears with the title of count inside the administrative organization of eastern the Kingdom of León.

He grew up in the castle of Lara and inherited his father's title after the capture and death of his uncle, Nuño Fernández.

In 931, Ferdinand gathered under his control a strong military force composed of troops from the counties of Burgos, Asturias, Santillana, Lantaron, Álava, Castile, and Lara. His military prowess came to prominence in the Battle of Simancas in 939 and then at Sepulveda, where he wrested the region from the Moors and repopulated it. As his power increased, so did his independence from León. During this period he married Sancha, the sister of the king of Navarre, García Sánchez I. Sancha was a daughter of Sancho I of Pamplona, and Toda of Navarre.

After having fought with Ramiro II of León against the Arabs, and after the Battle of Simancas and the retreat of the Muslims, Ferdinand was dissatisfied because the king of León distributed his troops in the frontier towns and he rose in rebellion against him. He was, however, defeated and made prisoner in 944, which lasted for 3 years until he became reconciled with his sovereign, giving his daughter Urraca in marriage to the king's son, Ordoño, who afterwards became King Ordoño III.

By Sancha of Navarre, he had the following children:

Gonzalo, who married Fronilde Gómez, suggested to have been granddaughter of count Diego Rodríguez Porcelos

Sancho, named in a charter of his paternal grandmother

Munio

García, his eventual successor

Urraca, successively queen of León and then Navarre

Muniadona, wife of Gómez Díaz, count of Saldaña, of the powerful Beni Gómez clan

Gonzalo Fernández, Count of Burgos (ca. 899-915) and of Castile (c. 909-915).

Recorded for the first time in 899 as Count of Burgos, soon the region expanded to the eastern mountain valleys enabling Gonzalo to make his fort base in Lara, thus stretching his rule from the foot of the Cantabrian Mountains around Espinosa de los Monteros to the river Arlanza, which therefore became the border with the neighbouring Muslim territories. In order to stretch his territory this far, he first had to displace the Muslim forces based at the stronghold of Carazo that dominated the area and access. This was achieved after a long and well contested struggle.

The valley of Lara was then the rallying point of the family that - years later - achieved through his son, Fernan Gonzalez the quasi-independence of Castile, securing the area for five generations with the family until it became a kingdom under Fernando I of Castile of the Jimenez dynasty.

His name appears for the first time in charter of the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña (899), one of the most influential monastic houses later in Castile together with the Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos. He was also the founder of the other Monastic House of San Pedro de Arlanza (912).

In 912, he took main part in the Castilian offensive to the river Duero, settling the old villeages of Haza, Clunia and San Esteban de Gormaz.

Gonzalo Fernández appears as Count of Castile for the first time in a document of January 8, 914 and again in January 1, 915. He appears witnessing royal documents among other magnates and nobles at the Leonese Court main Assemblies until the defeat of the Leonese in the battle of Valdejunquera (920), after which he was considered dead. Modern scholars suspect that he must have been in disgrace at Court for some unrecorded mistake or other major offense typically resulting in exile, as somebody with his name and the seldom given then rank of Count - Gundisalvus comes - appears signing royal documents at the Court of Navarre between the years 924 and 930, the year that his son was given the authority of Count alone. Previously, his wife Munia Donna (or Muniadona) appears holding the patrimony estates and county regency during the minority of their son Fernan Gonzalez.

His remains were laid to rest in a vault at San Pedro de Arlanza, as Friar Antonio de Yepes registers in his "General Chronicle".

Fernando González,[1] (en latín, Fredinandus Gundisalviz; Castillo de Lara, c. 910 - Burgos, 970), más conocido en los cantares de gesta y crónicas posteriores como Fernán González, fue conde de Castilla y de Álava (931-944 y 945-970).

Fue hijo de Muniadona y Gonzalo Fernández, quien había sido nombrado conde de Burgos y de Castilla, descendiente del infante Rodrigo, el primero de los condes de Castilla.[2] En la Carta Puebla de Brañosera aparece Munio Núñez de Brañosera como antepasado suyo,[3] por lo que los antepasados de Fernán González y su padre no están del todo claros.
Personaje teñido de tintes legendarios, la base patrimonial de su familia era el castillo de Lara (Lara de los Infantes), estableciendo un poderoso linaje que alcanzará gran influencia en el reino leonés. Crece en el castillo de Lara y hereda el título de su padre tras el apresamiento y muerte de su tío Nuño Fernández.

En el año 929, Fernán González aparece en documentos con el título de conde al frente del alfoz de Lara, dentro de la organización administrativa de la marca oriental del reino de León. En el 931, Fernán González logró reunir el gobierno de los condados de Burgos, Lara, Lantarón, Cerezo y Álava[4] y es mencionado como conde de Castilla por primera vez en un documento del año 932.
Estatua de Fernán González en la Plaza de Oriente de Madrid. Esculpida en piedra blanca entre 1750 y 1753.

En el 932, Ramiro II de León organizó una expedición contra la fortaleza de Magerit a la que posiblemente acudió Fernán González; la ciudad fue tomada así como su castillo obteniendo de ello un gran botín, sin embargo Magerit fue retomada por los musulmanes tras ser abandonada por el monarca leonés. Un año más tarde Abderramán III contraatacó cercando Osma y San Esteban de Gormaz, Ramiro II acudió en ayuda de Fernán González logrando levantar el cerco de San Esteban de Gormaz y venciendo a las huestes califales cerca de Osma. En 934 Abderramán III avanzó nuevemente con su ejército por territorio castellano, sin encontrar ninguna oposición. Asoló Álava, destruyó Burgos, y cometió numerosos atropellos, como la matanza de 200 monjes en Cardeña. En el viaje de retorno se encontró con que Ramiro II había tomado Osma, y estaba allí esperándolo junto con Fernán González. Los leoneses derrotaron en batalla a los musulmanes, "matando a muchos millares de ellos", según los Anales Castellanos Primeros.

El conde de Castilla tuvo un papel destacado en la batalla de Simancas[5] (939) en la que fueron derrotadas las tropas del califa Abderramán III. A continuación, conquistó Sepúlveda y la repobló (940), así como Riaza y Fresno. Ese mismo año concedió un fuero a Sepúlveda, dicho fuero estaba concebido para atraer repobladores a esa zona extremadamente peligrosa por su situación fronteriza con las tierras musulmanas.

Viendo su poder acrecentado, empezó a actuar de manera cada vez más independiente del reino de León, y siguiendo esta política, se casó con Sancha Sánchez, hermana del rey de Navarra, García Sánchez I (más tarde se casaría con su hija, Urraca Díaz).

Fernán González se sintió enormemente agraviado cuando el Rey, nombró a Ansur Fernández como conde de Monzón, condado que bloqueaba su expansión hacia los territorios comprendidos entre el río Cea y el río Pisuerga (excluyendo el Condado de Saldaña en el oeste).

Según Sampiro, en 944 "Fernán González y Diego Muñoz ejercieron tiranía contra el rey Ramiro, y aun prepararon la guerra. Mas el rey, como era fuerte y previsor, cogiólos, y uno en León y otro en Gordón, presos con hierros, los echó en la cárcel." Ramiro entregó el gobierno de Castilla al infante Sancho y al conde Ansur Fernández, que sería su ayo y protector. Después de permanecer alrededor de un año en prisión, Ramiro II liberó al traidor, no sin antes hacerle jurar fidelidad. Para dar solemnidad a lo pactado, poco después se produjo la boda entre la hija del conde, Urraca Fernández y su propio hijo y heredero, Ordoño. Estas disensiones internas debilitaron el reino leonés, lo cual fue aprovechado por los musulmanes para lanzar varias razzias de castigo con destino al reino cristiano. El arabista francés Évariste Lévi-Provençal sospechaba que durante estos años Fernán González pudo establecer algún tipo de amistad o de alianza con el califa de Córdoba, y que las razzias dejaron en paz a la debilitada Castilla, y se dirigieron hacia la zona occidental del reino.

Muerto Ramiro II en el 951, el reino de León quedó sumido en una crisis dinástica que Fernán González supo aprovechar en su favor. Inicialmente apoyó las reclamaciones de Sancho el Craso contra su hermano Ordoño III, pero, al no prosperar su causa, se vio obligado a reconocer a Ordoño como rey. Paralelamente, en el año 955 Fernán González derrotó a las tropas musulmanas en San Esteban de Gormaz.

La temprana muerte de Ordoño III permitió al castellano recuperar su capacidad de maniobra, aunque en esta ocasión no apoyó las pretensiones de su antiguo aliado, el rey García Sánchez, que pretendía que Sancho el Craso fuera rey de León, sino que se alineó con el primo de Ordoño III, Ordoño IV, que fue elegido rey de León. Derrotado en el 960 por la intervención navarra, fue capturado por García Sánchez en Cirueña, pero recuperó la libertad tras hacer diversas concesiones territoriales.
Sepulcro de Fernán González en la Colegiata de Covarrubias, la tapa es del siglo XIX y la caja del siglo V.

Para reforzar su posición frente a los demás territorios cristianos, casó a su hija Urraca Fernández con el hijo de Ramiro II, Ordoño III, más tarde Urraca sería repudiada por Ordoño III gracias al apoyo que prestó Fernán González a Sancho el Craso. Después de la muerte de Ordoño III, Urraca se casó con Ordoño IV que por entonces era aliado de Fernán González, y tras la muerte de Ordoño IV se casó con Sancho Garcés II de Navarra. Otra de sus hijas Muniadona (o Nuña) fue dada en matrimonio a Gómez Díaz, hijo del conde de Saldaña, Diego Muñoz.

En el 963 pactó una tregua con Alhakén II tras la toma de San Esteban de Gormaz por los musulmanes, el conde castellano actuaba al margen de la debilitada autoridad real. En tal situación de desorden, Fernán González fue asegurando lentamente su posición como señor hereditario del condado de Castilla, llegando a gobernar un extenso territorio desde el mar Cantábrico hasta más al sur del río Duero. Al morir, dejó el condado a su hijo García Fernández, estableciendo así el principio de la sucesión hereditaria en el título condal de Castilla.

Su vida y hechos fueron magnificados en un poema anónimo, el Poema de Fernán González, escrito entre 1250 y 1271 y conservado en una copia incompleta del siglo XV. Los restos de Fernán González fueron enterrados en el Monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza y posteriormente trasladados en 1841 a la Colegiata de San Cosme y San Damián de Covarrubias junto con los de su esposa Sancha.
