her father

García was born in the early twelfth century, the grandson of Rodrigo Díaz, better known as El Cid. His father was Ramiro S√°nchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garc√©s, illegitimate son of García S√°nchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodr√≠guez D√≠az de Vivar, the Cid's daughter.
Sometime after 1130, but before his succession, Garc√≠a married Marguerite de l'Aigle. She was to bear him a son and successor, Sancho VI, as well as two daughters who each married kings: the elder, Blanca, born after 1133, married Sancho III of Castile, while the younger, Margaret, named after her mother, married William I of Sicily. Garc√≠a's relationship with his first queen was, however, shaky. She took on many lovers and showed favouritism to her French relatives. She bore a second son named Rodrigo, whom her husband refused to recognise as his own.[8] On 24 June 1144, in León, García married Urraca, called "La Asturiana" (the Asturian), illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII by Guntroda P√©rez, to strengthen his relationship with his overlord.
In 1136, García was obliged to surrender Rioja to Castile but, in 1137, he allied with Alfonso I of Portugal and confronted Alfonso VII. They confirmed a peace between 1139 and 1140. He was thereafter an ally of Castile in the Reconquista and was instrumental in the conquest of Almería in 1147. In 1146, he occupied Tauste, which belonged to Aragon, and Alfonso VII intervened to mediate a peace between the two kingdoms.
By his marriage to Urraca, García had also become a brother-in-law of Raymond Berengar IV, with whom he confirmed a peace treaty in 1149. The count was promised to García's daughter Blanca while already engaged to Petronilla of Aragon, but García died before the marriage could be carried out.
García died on 21 November 1150 in Lorca, near Estella, and was buried in the cathedral of Santa María in Pamplona. He was succeeded by his eldest son. He left one daughter by Urraca: Sancha, who married Gaston V of B√©arn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda L√≥pez.
García left, as the primary monument of his reign, the monastery of Sant María de La Oliva in Carcastillo. It is a fine example of Romanesque architecture.

García Ramírez of Navarre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
García Ramírez, sometimes García IV,V, VI or VII (died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzón and Logro√±o, and, from 1134, King of Navarre. He "restored" the independence of the Navarrese crown after 58 years of union with the Kingdom of Aragon.
Early years
García was born in the early twelfth century, the grandson of Rodrigo Díaz, better known as El Cid. His father was Ramiro S√°nchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garc√©s, illegitimate son of García S√°nchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodr√≠guez D√≠az de Vivar, the Cid's daughter.
[edit]Rise to power
When Aragon, which had from 1076 been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso the Battler and fell into a succession crisis in 1134, García managed to wrest Navarre from his Aragonese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the will of Alfonso. That Alfonso, in drawing up a will, had ignored his distant relation (of an illegitimate line), is not unsurprising given the circumstances. Alfonso had nearer male kin in the form of his brother Ramiro. Besides that, since Alfonso seems to have disregarded Ramiro as well, the choice of an illegitimate descendant of Sancho the Great would undoubtedly have aroused the opposition of the Papacy to the succession.[1]
Ramiro did succeed Alfonso in Aragon, because the nobles refused to enact the late king's unusual will. His accession did raise protest from Rome and was not uncontested within Aragon, much less in Navarre, where Garc√≠a was the chosen candidate once the testament of Alfonso was laid aside. Rome does not seem to have opposed him, but neither does he seem to have had much support within Aragon, while Ramiro strongly objected to his election in Navarre. In light of this, the Bishop of Pamplona granted Garc√≠a his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions.[2] Among Garc√≠as other early supporters were Lop Ennechones, Martinus de Leit, and Count Latro, who carried out negotiations on the king's behalf with Ramiro.[3] Eventually, however, the two monarchs reached a mutual accord ·Äî the Pact of Vadoluongo ·Äî of "adoption" in January 1135: García was deemed the "son" and Ramiro the "father" in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the de facto supremacy of the Aragonese one.
In May 1135, García declared himself a vassal of Alfonso VII. This simultaneously put him under the protection and lordship of Castile and bought recognition of his royal status from Alfonso, who was a claimant to the Battler's succession.[4] García's submission to Castile has been seen as an act of protection for Navarre which had the consequence of putting her in an offensive alliance against Aragon, which thus forced Ramiro to marry, to forge an alliance with Raymond Berengar IV of Barcelona and to produce an heir, now that García, his adoptive son, was out of the question.[5] On the other hand, García may have been responding to Ramiro's marriage, which proved beyond a doubt that the king of Aragon was seeking another heir than his distant relative and adopted son.[6]
Before September 1135, Alfonso VII granted García Zaragoza as a fief.[7] Recently conquered from Aragon, this outpost of Castilian authority in the east was clearly beyond the military capacity of Alfonso to control and provided further reasons for recognition of García in Navarre in return for not only his homage, but his holding Zaragoza on behalf of Castile. In 1136, Alfons was forced to do homage for Zaragoza to Ramiro and to recognise him as King of Zaragoza. In 1137, Zaragoza was surrendered to Raymond Berengar, though Alfonso retained suzerainty over it. By then, García's reign in Zaragoza had closed.

García VI Ramírez (Garsias Ranimiriz, also García IV, because he was only the fourth García of the Jim√©nez dynasty; died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzón and Logro√±o, and, from 1134, King of Navarre.

Falleció a consecuencia de una caída de caballo. Rey de Navarra 1134, fundó la ciudad de Vitoria.

Elegido por los magnates y obispos navarros como rey al no acatar las disposiciones testamentarias de Alfonso I, "el Batallador".
Hijo del infante Ramiro S√°nchez, Se√±or de Monzón, Se√±or de Logro√±o, y de Cristina Rodríguez Díaz de Vivar, hija del Cid Campeador.
Parece que buscando una solución a la separación de los reinos de Aragón y Navarra, que habían sido gobernados conjuntamente desde la muerte de Sancho, "el de Pe√±al√©n", hasta la muerte de Alfonso, "el Batallador", propusieron que el rey-monje de Arag√≥n fuese el "padre" y Garc√≠a Ram√≠rez el "hijo". Los dos conservar√≠an su respectivo reino, sin embargo, la primac√≠a sobre el pueblo ser√≠a de Ramiro.
Al entrar en Zaragoza Alfonso VII de León y Castilla y rendirle vasallaje los zaragozanos, se acent√∫a la separación entre los dos reinos, que en su día fueron feudo de Sancho Garc√©s III.
Aliado con Alfonso I de Portugal, en 1137 se enfrentó a Alfonso VII de Castilla, a quien había prestado vasallaje. Firmaron la paz entre 1139 y 1140.
Los navarros ocuparon Tauste en el 1146, pero Alfonso VII actuó como √°rbitro entre los dos reinos.
En 1144, despu√©s de enviudar, se casó con una hija de Alfonso, Urraca, siendo a partir de esa fecha parientes del emperador leon√©s-castellano los reyes de Navarra y Aragón; Ramón Berenguer era cu√±ado y García Ramírez yerno. Ambos se reconocieron vasallos del emperador Alfonso VII.[cita requerida]
A partir de esa fecha vemos a García Ramírez auxiliando a Alfonso VII en sus campa√±as de reconquista, concretamente en la campa√±a de Almería, que fue conquistada por las tropas cristianas en 1147.
En 1149 firmó un tratado de paz con Ramón Berenguer, por el cual el catal√°n se casaría con su hija Blanca, a pesar de estar prometido con Petronila de Aragón, pero al morir García Ramírez no se llevó a cabo el compromiso.
Murió el 21 de noviembre de 1150 en Lorca, cerca de Estella.
* Casado después de 1130 con Margarita de L'Aigle, tuvieron como descendencia a:
o Sancho VI, "El Sabio", rey de Navarra, casado con Sancha de Castilla.
o Blanca de Navarra, n. despu√©s de 1133, que se casó con Sancho III de Castilla "El Deseado".
o Margarita de Navarra, casada con Guillermo I, Rey de Sicilia.
* Casado en segundas nupcias el 24 de junio de 1144, en León, con Urraca, hija bastarda del rey Alfonso VII de León y Castilla y de Guntroda, teniendo como descendencia a:
o Sancha de Navarra, casada con Gastón V, Vizconde de B√©arn, fallecido en 1170. Casada en segundas nupcias con el conde Pedro Manrique de Lara, II Se√±or de Molina y Mesa, XIII Vizconde de Narbona
o Rodrigo Garcés, Conde de Montescaglioso.
* Casado en terceras nupcias con Ganfreda López.

His father was Ramiro S√°nchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garc√©s, illegitimate son of García S√°nchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodr√≠guez D√≠az de Vivar, the Cid's daughter.
[edit] Rise to power
When Aragon, which had from 1076 been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso the Battler and fell into a succession crisis in 1134, García managed to wrest Navarre from his Aragonese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the will of Alfonso. That Alfonso, in drawing up a will, had ignored his distant relation (of an illegitimate line), is not unsurprising given the circumstances. Alfonso had nearer male kin in the form of his brother Ramiro. Besides that, since Alfonso seems to have disregarded Ramiro as well, the choice of an illegitimate descendant of Sancho the Great would undoubtedly have aroused the opposition of the Papacy to the succession.[1]
Ramiro did succeed Alfonso in Aragon, because the nobles refused to enact the late king's unusual will. His accession did raise protest from Rome and was not uncontested within Aragon, much less in Navarre, where Garc√≠a was the chosen candidate once the testament of Alfonso was laid aside. Rome does not seem to have opposed him, but neither does he seem to have had much support within Aragon, while Ramiro strongly objected to his election in Navarre. In light of this, the Bishop of Pamplona granted Garc√≠a his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions.[2] Among Garc√≠as other early supporters were Lop Ennechones, Martinus de Leit, and Count Latro, who carried out negotiations on the king's behalf with Ramiro.[3] Eventually, however, the two monarchs reached a mutual accord ·Äî the Pact of Vadoluongo ·Äî of "adoption" in January 1135: García was deemed the "son" and Ramiro the "father" in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the de facto supremacy of the Aragonese one.
In May 1135, García declared himself a vassal of Alfonso VII. This simultaneously put him under the protection and lordship of Castile and bought recognition of his royal status from Alfonso, who was a claimant to the Battler's succession.[4] García's submission to Castile has been seen as an act of protection for Navarre which had the consequence of putting her in an offensive alliance against Aragon, which thus forced Ramiro to marry, to forge an alliance with Raymond Berengar IV of Barcelona and to produce an heir, now that García, his adoptive son, was out of the question.[5] On the other hand, García may have been responding to Ramiro's marriage, which proved beyond a doubt that the king of Aragon was seeking another heir than his distant relative and adopted son.[6]
Before September 1135, Alfonso VII granted García Zaragoza as a fief.[7] Recently conquered from Aragon, this outpost of Castilian authority in the east was clearly beyond the military capacity of Alfonso to control and provided further reasons for recognition of García in Navarre in return for not only his homage, but his holding Zaragoza on behalf of Castile. In 1136, Alfons was forced to do homage for Zaragoza to Ramiro and to recognise him as King of Zaragoza. In 1137, Zaragoza was surrendered to Raymond Berengar, though Alfonso retained suzerainty over it. By then, García's reign in Zaragoza had closed.
[edit] García's heirs
Sometime after 1130, but before his succession, Garc√≠a married Marguerite de l'Aigle. She was to bear him a son and successor, Sancho VI, as well as two daughters who each married kings: the elder, Blanca, born after 1133, married Sancho III of Castile, while the younger, Margaret, named after her mother, married William I of Sicily. Garc√≠a's relationship with his first queen was, however, shaky. She took on many lovers and showed favouritism to her French relatives. She bore a second son named Rodrigo, whom her husband refused to recognise as his own.[8] On 24 June 1144, in León, García married Urraca, called "La Asturiana" (the Asturian), illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII by Guntroda P√©rez, to strengthen his relationship with his overlord.
In 1136, García was obliged to surrender Rioja to Castile but, in 1137, he allied with Alfonso I of Portugal and confronted Alfonso VII. They confirmed a peace between 1139 and 1140. He was thereafter an ally of Castile in the Reconquista and was instrumental in the conquest of Almería in 1147. In 1146, he occupied Tauste, which belonged to Aragon, and Alfonso VII intervened to mediate a peace between the two kingdoms.
By his marriage to Urraca, García had also become a brother-in-law of Raymond Berengar IV, with whom he confirmed a peace treaty in 1149. The count was promised to García's daughter Blanca while already engaged to Petronilla of Aragon, but García died before the marriage could be carried out.
García died on 21 November 1150 in Lorca, near Estella, and was buried in the cathedral of Santa María in Pamplona. He was succeeded by his eldest son. He left one daughter by Urraca: Sancha, who married Gaston V of B√©arn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda L√≥pez.
García left, as the primary monument of his reign, the monastery of Sant María de La Oliva in Carcastillo. It is a fine example of Romanesque architecture.

Otros le atribuyen otros maridos Solo es seguro que casó con un rey de Pamplona y fue reina (aporte de María Emma Escobar Uribe).
Resumen de algunas de las ideas ·Äîdice María Emma Escobar Uribe·Äî y se copio literalmente unas frases de Claudio S√°nchez Albornoz en "Origenes del reino de Pamplona y su vinculación con el valle del Ebro" sobre los Jimenos: "Constituye la historia de esta familia uno de los problemas todavía sin resolver del pasado del reino de Pamplona. Y temo que mientras nuevos documentos no vengan en nuestra ayuda, el problema seguir√° constituyendo un enigma histórico absolutamente indescifrable". El resumen, m√°s o menos es el siguiete: Claro que hay muchas teorías sobre el tema, y alguna puede que sea correcta. P√©rez de Urbel pensaba que los Jimenos eran parientes del duque de Gascu√±a, destituído en 816, que habían venido a Espa√±a, cerca de sus parientes, los Arista, y en una vicisitud en que estos (los Arista) no hab√≠an podido estar cerca del trono, se hab√≠an quedado con ese trono. Hay otros datos que sugieren otra interpretaci√≥n: los Anales Laurissensses y los Anales Reales Carolingios dicen: "destruída Pamplona, subyugados los vascones espa√±oles y tambi√©n los navarros..." ¬øse podría entender este texto como una referencia a dos grupos regionaels diferentes con diferentes caudillos?. Otro códice: el Fragmentum codici Fontenellensis dice: "En el mes de Junio del a√±o 850 tuvo Carlos una reunión en su palacio de Verberia. Allí se presentaron los enviados de I√±igo y Jimeno, duques de los navarros ofreci√©ndole dones...." Frente a estos textos, los citados Anales hablan otras veces de pamploneses y navarros como el mismo pueablo con el mismo jefe, así que es difícil sacar conclusiones claras, ni negar ninguna de las dos opciones. Para algunos historiadores, I√±igos y Jimenos descendían de un tronco com√∫n. ¬øPodría ser ese tronco el "Jimeno el Fuerte" con el que se cruzó Abd al Rahman en 781 cuando fue a tierras cispirenaicas? ¬øPor eso dice el Códice de Roda : "Garcia Scemenonis et Eneco Scemenonis fratres fuerunt". De momento y seg√∫n S√°nchez Albornoz, no hay bases para sostener fundamentadamente ninguna de estas teorías. Este agregado es mío: Ahora, puestos a hacer hipótesis, que cada uno haga la que quiera, porque ser√° difícil que aparezcan m√°s papeles, aunque nunca se debe perder la esperanza! (Aporte de Mar√≠a Emma Escobar Uribe, 1-I-2005, en Red Iris).
BIOGRAPHY: d. Nov. 21, 1150, Lorca, Navarre [Spain]
byname GARC√çA THE RESTORER, Spanish GARC√çA EL RESTAURADOR, king of Pamplona (Navarre) from 1134 to 1150, grandson of Sancho IV and son of El Cid's daughter Cristina and Ramiro S√°nchez, lord of Monzón.
When Alfonso I of Aragon and Navarre died in 1134 and the Aragonese proclaimed the succession for his brother Ramiro II, the Navarrese rebelled and restored their own ancient line in the person of García Ramirez. García IV broke the union of Aragon and Navarre by declaring himself a vassal of Alfonso VII of Castile, "emperor" of Spain, but a year later he broke with Castile and allied himself with the Portuguese against Castile and Aragon. After Ramiro's abdication (1137), there ensued a period of warfare and intrigue among the kingdoms of Spain, ending in 1149. In spite of these wars García IV collaborated with Alfonso VII against the Muslim Almohads and took part in the conquest of Almeria (1147). On his death, he was succeeded by his son Sancho VI.

García Ramírez de Pamplona
García Ramírez llamado ¬´el Restaurador¬ª (fallecido en Lorca (Navarra), 21 de noviembre de 1150), fue rey de Pamplona de 1134 a 1150.
Elegido por los magnates y obispos navarros como rey al no acatar las disposiciones testamentarias de Alfonso I el Batallador.
Hijo del infante Ramiro S√°nchez, se√±or de Monzón y de Logro√±o; y de Cristina Rodríguez Díaz, hija del Cid Campeador.
Parece que buscando una solución a la separación de los reinos de Aragón y Pamplona, que habían sido gobernados conjuntamente desde la muerte de Sancho el de Pe√±al√©n hasta la muerte del Batallador, propusieron que Ramiro II de Aragón fuese el "padre" y Garc√≠a Ram√≠rez el "hijo". Los dos conservar√≠an su respectivo reino, sin embargo, la primac√≠a sobre el pueblo ser√≠a de Ramiro II el Monje.
Al entrar en Zaragoza Alfonso VII de León y Castilla y rendirle vasallaje los zaragozanos, se acentúa la separación entre los dos reinos, que en su día fueron feudo de Sancho el Mayor.
Aliado con Alfonso I de Portugal, en 1137 se enfrentó a Alfonso VII de Castilla, a quien había prestado vasallaje. Firmaron la paz entre 1139 y 1140.
Los navarros ocuparon Tauste en el 1146, pero Alfonso VII actuó como √°rbitro entre los dos reinos.
En 1144, despu√©s de enviudar, se casó con una hija de Alfonso, Urraca, siendo a partir de esa fecha parientes del emperador leon√©s-castellano los reyes de Navarra y Aragón; Ramón Berenguer era cu√±ado y García Ramírez yerno. Ambos se reconocieron vasallos del emperador Alfonso VII.[cita requerida]
A partir de esa fecha vemos a García Ramírez auxiliando a Alfonso VII en sus campa√±as de reconquista, concretamente en la campa√±a de Almería, que fue conquistada por las tropas cristianas en 1147.
En 1149 firmó un tratado de paz con Ramón Berenguer, por el cual el catal√°n se casaría con su hija Blanca, a pesar de estar prometido con Petronila de Aragón, pero al morir García Ramírez no se llevó a cabo el compromiso.
Murió el 21 de noviembre de 1150 en Lorca, cerca de Estella.
Casado después de 1130 con Margarita de L'Aigle, tuvieron como descendencia a:
Sancho VI, "El Sabio", rey de Navarra, casado con Sancha de Castilla.
Blanca de Navarra, n. despu√©s de 1133, que se casó con Sancho III de Castilla "El Deseado".
Margarita de Navarra, casada con Guillermo I, Rey de Sicilia.
Casado en segundas nupcias el 24 de junio de 1144, en León, con Urraca, hija bastarda del rey Alfonso VII de León y Castilla y de Guntroda, teniendo como descendencia a:
Sancha de Navarra, casada con Gastón V, Vizconde de B√©arn, fallecido en 1170. Casada en segundas nupcias con el conde Pedro Manrique de Lara, II Se√±or de Molina y Mesa, XIII Vizconde de Narbona
Rodrigo Garcés, Conde de Montescaglioso.
Casado en terceras nupcias con Ganfreda López.

García Ramírez, sometimes García IV,V, VI or VII (died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (in Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzón and Logro√±o, and, from 1134, King of Navarre. He "restored" the independence of the Navarrese crown after 58 years of union with the Kingdom of Aragon.
When Aragon, which had from 1076 been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso the Battler and fell into a succession crisis in 1134, García managed to wrest Navarre from his Aragonese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the will of Alfonso. That Alfonso, in drawing up a will, had ignored his distant relation (of an illegitimate line), is not unsurprising given the circumstances. Alfonso had nearer male kin in the form of his brother Ramiro. Besides that, since Alfonso seems to have disregarded Ramiro as well, the choice of an illegitimate descendant of Sancho the Great would undoubtedly have aroused the opposition of the Papacy to the succession.
Ramiro did succeed Alfonso in Aragon, because the nobles refused to enact the late king's unusual will. His accession did raise protest from Rome and was not uncontested within Aragon, much less in Navarre, where Garc√≠a was the chosen candidate once the testament of Alfonso was laid aside. Rome does not seem to have opposed him, but neither does he seem to have had much support within Aragon, while Ramiro strongly objected to his election in Navarre. In light of this, the Bishop of Pamplona granted Garc√≠a his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions. Among Garc√≠as other early supporters were Lop Ennechones, Martinus de Leit, and Count Latro, who carried out negotiations on the king's behalf with Ramiro. Eventually, however, the two monarchs reached a mutual accord ·Äî the Pact of Vadoluongo ·Äî of "adoption" in January 1135: García was deemed the "son" and Ramiro the "father" in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the de facto supremacy of the Aragonese one.
In May 1135, García declared himself a vassal of Alfonso VII. This simultaneously put him under the protection and lordship of Castile and bought recognition of his royal status from Alfonso, who was a claimant to the Battler's succession. García's submission to Castile has been seen as an act of protection for Navarre which had the consequence of putting her in an offensive alliance against Aragon, which thus forced Ramiro to marry, to forge an alliance with Raymond Berengar IV of Barcelona and to produce an heir, now that García, his adoptive son, was out of the question. On the other hand, García may have been responding to Ramiro's marriage, which proved beyond a doubt that the king of Aragon was seeking another heir than his distant relative and adopted son.
Before September 1135, Alfonso VII granted García Zaragoza as a fief. Recently conquered from Aragon, this outpost of Castilian authority in the east was clearly beyond the military capacity of Alfonso to control and provided further reasons for recognition of García in Navarre in return for not only his homage, but his holding Zaragoza on behalf of Castile. In 1136, Alfons was forced to do homage for Zaragoza to Ramiro and to recognise him as King of Zaragoza. In 1137, Zaragoza was surrendered to Raymond Berengar, though Alfonso retained suzerainty over it. By then, García's reign in Zaragoza had closed.
Sometime after 1130, but before his succession, Garc√≠a married Marguerite de l'Aigle. She was to bear him a son and successor, Sancho VI, as well as two daughters who each married kings: the elder, Blanca, born after 1133, married Sancho III of Castile, while the younger, Margaret, named after her mother, married William I of Sicily. Garc√≠a's relationship with his first queen was, however, shaky. She took on many lovers and showed favouritism to her French relatives. She bore a second son named Rodrigo, whom her husband refused to recognise as his own. On 24 June 1144, in León, García married Urraca, called "La Asturiana" (the Asturian), illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII by Guntroda P√©rez, to strengthen his relationship with his overlord.
In 1136, García was obliged to surrender Rioja to Castile but, in 1137, he allied with Alfonso I of Portugal and confronted Alfonso VII. They confirmed a peace between 1139 and 1140. He was thereafter an ally of Castile in the Reconquista and was instrumental in the conquest of Almería in 1147. In 1146, he occupied Tauste, which belonged to Aragon, and Alfonso VII intervened to mediate a peace between the two kingdoms.
By his marriage to Urraca, García had also become a brother-in-law of Raymond Berengar IV, with whom he confirmed a peace treaty in 1149. The count was promised to García's daughter Blanca while already engaged to Petronilla of Aragon, but García died before the marriage could be carried out.
García left, as the primary monument of his reign, the monastery of Sant María de La Oliva in Carcastillo. It is a fine example of Romanesque architecture.

García was born in the early twelfth century, the grandson of Rodrigo Díaz, better known as El Cid. His father was Ramiro S√°nchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garc√©s, illegitimate son of García S√°nchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodr√≠guez D√≠az de Vivar, the Cid's daughter.

García died on 21 November 1150 in Lorca, near Estella, and was buried in the cathedral of Santa María in Pamplona. He was succeeded by his eldest son. He left one daughter by Urraca: Sancha, who married Gaston V of B√©arn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda L√≥pez.

García Ramírez, sometimes García IV,V, VI or VII (died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzón and Logro√±o, and, from 1134, King of Navarre. He "restored" the independence of the Navarrese crown after 58 years of union with the Kingdom of Aragon.

Early yearsGarcía was born in the early twelfth century. His father was Ramiro S√°nchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garc√©s, illegitimate son of García S√°nchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother Cristina was a daughter of Rodrigo D√≠az, better known as El Cid.
[edit] Rise to powerWhen Aragon, which had from 1076 been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso the Battler and fell into a succession crisis in 1134, García managed to wrest Navarre from his Aragonese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the will of Alfonso. That Alfonso, in drawing up a will, had ignored his distant relation (of an illegitimate line), is not unsurprising given the circumstances. Alfonso had nearer male kin in the form of his brother Ramiro. Besides that, since Alfonso seems to have disregarded Ramiro as well, the choice of an illegitimate descendant of Sancho the Great would undoubtedly have aroused the opposition of the Papacy to the succession.[1]
Ramiro did succeed Alfonso in Aragon, because the nobles refused to enact the late king's unusual will. His accession did raise protest from Rome and was not uncontested within Aragon, much less in Navarre, where Garc√≠a was the chosen candidate once the testament of Alfonso was laid aside. Rome does not seem to have opposed him, but neither does he seem to have had much support within Aragon, while Ramiro strongly objected to his election in Navarre. In light of this, the Bishop of Pamplona granted Garc√≠a his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions.[2] Among Garc√≠a's other early supporters were Lop Ennechones, Martinus de Leit, and Count Latro, who carried out negotiations on the king's behalf with Ramiro.[3] Eventually, however, the two monarchs reached a mutual accord ·Äî the Pact of Vadoluongo ·Äî of "adoption" in January 1135: García was deemed the "son" and Ramiro the "father" in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the de facto supremacy of the Aragonese one.
In May 1135, García declared himself a vassal of Alfonso VII. This simultaneously put him under the protection and lordship of Castile and bought recognition of his royal status from Alfonso, who was a claimant to the Battler's succession.[4] García's submission to Castile has been seen as an act of protection for Navarre which had the consequence of putting her in an offensive alliance against Aragon, which thus forced Ramiro to marry, to forge an alliance with Raymond Berengar IV of Barcelona and to produce an heir, now that García, his adoptive son, was out of the question.[5] On the other hand, García may have been responding to Ramiro's marriage, which proved beyond a doubt that the king of Aragon was seeking another heir than his distant relative and adopted son.[6]

[edit] Garc√≠a's heirsSometime after 1130, but before his succession, Garc√≠a married Marguerite de l'Aigle. She was to bear him a son and successor, Sancho VI, as well as two daughters who each married kings. The elder, Blanche, born after 1133, was to marry Raymond Berengar IV, as confirmed by a peace treaty in 1149, in spite of the count's existing betrothal to Petronilla of Aragon, but Garc√≠a died before the marriage could be carried out. Instead she married Sancho III of Castile. The younger, Margaret, married William I of Sicily. Garc√≠a's relationship with his first queen was, however, shaky.
