    Biografie

    Sancho Garcés, zoon van García Jiménez, was een lid van het Huis Jiménez. Na de dood van García Íñiguez in 870, werd Sancho gouverneur van Valdonsella en begon al snel de omringende gebieden binnen te vallen.

    Hij bezette Pamplona toen dat nog onderdeel uitmaakte van het koninkrijk van Fortún Garcés, waarbij hij geholpen werd door Alfons III van Asturië en de graaf van Pallars. Het recht op troonopvolging van de kinderen van Fortún Garcés werd ontbonden en geschonken aan Toda, de kleindochter van Fortún Garcés. Zij trouwde met Sancho Garcés en zo kwam deze in het bezit van de troon van Pamplona in 905.

    Toen de graaf van het graafschap Aragón, Galindo Aznárez II, stierf, bezette Sancho Aragón waarbij hij ook de rechten van de opvolgers ontnam. Dat vormde voor de moorse heerser van Huesca, at-Tawil, de reden om de strijd aan te binden met Sancho. At-Tawil was getrouwd met Sancha, de zus van de graaf, en had zo recht op opvolging. Dat recht werd hem door Sancho ontnomen.

    Het probleem loste zichzelf echter op, door he aangekondigde huwelijk van Andregoto Galíndez, dochter van Galindo Aznárez II, en de zoon van Sancho I Garcés, de latere koning García Sánchez, die ten tijde van het huwelijk nog slechts een kind was.

    Sancho breidde zijn rijk flink naar het westen uit tot aan de streek La Rioja waar hij enkele gevechten met de moslims voerde. Hij veroverde Nájera waar hij zijn hoofdkwartier vestigde.

    Hij kende een vriendschap met Ordoño II van León en trok ten strijde in San Esteban de Gormaz (917), maar werd in Valdejunquera verdreven door Abd al-Rahman III (920).
    Successen

    Tijdens zijn heerschappij voerde hij het gebruik van muntgeld in, daarmee was hij een van de eerste vorsten binnen de christelijke wereld.

    Nájera werd het politiek centrum van de christelijke wereld en er werden verschillende huwelijken voltrokken tussen de dochters van Sancho Garcés I en koningin Toda Aznar

    Koning Sancho Garcés I stierf nabij Resa aan de oever van de rivier de Ebro. Hij werd begraven in San Esteban de Deio en Monjardín.

    Sancho I Garcés (c. 860 – December 11, 925) was king of Pamplona from 905 to 925. He was a son of García Jiménez, who was king of "another part of the kingdom" of Pamplona and Dadildis de Pallars, his second wife.

    In 905, a coalition of enemies of the king, Fortún Garcés, consisting of Lubb ibn Muhammed of the Banu Qasi, King Alfonso III of Asturias, Galindo Aznar II of Aragon and Sancho's uncle, Raymond I of Pallars and Ribagorza, deposed Fortún, and put Sancho on the throne in his place. Throughout his reign, he involved himself in the squabbles among the Muslim lords to the south with repeated success. In 907, he turned on his former ally Lubb ibn Muhammad, killing him in battle. Four years later, another former ally, Galindo Aznar, joined with his brother-in-law Muhammad al-Tawil and Abd Allah ibn Lubb ibn Qasi to attack Sancho, but they were defeated and neutralized as a threat. Al-Tawil fled and was killed shortly afterward, and the power of the Banu Qasi was severely crippled, while Galindo was forced into vassalage to Sancho, leading to the incorporation of the County of Aragon into the Pamplona kingdom. In 920, he teamed with Bernard I of Ribagorza and Amrus ibn Muhammed, son of Muhammad al-Tawil, to attack Banu Qasi-held Monzón. His successes allowed him to join Ultra-Puertos, or Basse-Navarre (Baja Navarra), to his own dominions, and extend his territory as far as Nájera. As a thanksgiving offering for his victories, he founded, in 924, the convent of Albelda.

    Perhaps to legitimize the succession, Sancho married Toda Aznárez, daughter of Onneca Fortúnez. Thus, Sancho and Toda's children were also descendants of the Arista dynasty of Navarrese monarchs, but likewise akin to Abd-ar-Rahman III of Córdoba, a grandson of Onneca by a former husband. When Sancho died in 925, his only son was still quite young. Thus Sancho was succeeded by his brother, Jimeno Garcés, upon whose death Sancho's son García would succeed under that regency of Toda. In his memory, the family would be called the Banu Sanyo (Arabic: ??? ?????, 'descendants of Sancho') by Al-Andalus chroniclers.
