Fortún Garcés (bijnamen: El Monje, de Monnik" of El Tuerto, "de Eénoog") was koning van Pamplona (882 - 905). Hij was de laatste koning van het Huis Iñiga.
Fortún Garcés was gevangene gemaakt door het Emiraat van Córdoba toen Mohammed I in 860 Pamplona was binnengevallen.
Tijdens zijn heerschappij leed Garcés onder verscheidene strafexpedities en de oprukkende kracht van de emirs van Córdoba en hun allianties, de Banu Qasi.
Voorheen kende Garcés echter goede relaties met de Banu Qasi, met Lope ibn Mohammed in het bijzonder, terwijl koning Alfons III van Asturië en de graaf van Pallars, vijanden van de Banu Qasi een staatsgreep pleegden en Sancho Garcés I, zoon van García Jiménez, op de troon plaatsten.
Volgens sommige bronnen stierf Fortún Garcés in het klooster van Leyre in 906. Vermoedelijk was hij in 845 getrouwd met Oria, een vrouw van onbekende afkoms
Fortún Garcés (Arabic: ????? ?? ??????, Fortoûn ibn Garsiya, d. after 925), called the One-Eyed (Arabic: ???????, al-Anqar) or the Monk, was the king of Pamplona from 882 to 905.
He was the eldest son of King García Íñiguez, himself the son of king Íñigo Íñiguez Arista, the founder of the kingdom, and Fortún was to be the last king of the Arista dynasty.
Prince Fortún was taken prisoner by the Moors in 860 during the invasion of Emir Mohammed I of Córdoba and kept for the next 20 years. While a prisoner in Córdoba, his daughter Onneca Fortúnez married Abdallah ibn Mohammed, who would later succeed his father as Emir. He was released from captivity in 880 and returned to Pamplona, apparently accompanied by his daughter. He succeeded upon the death of his father at Ayhar in 882 in a battle against Emir Mohammed I.
Little is known of the remainder of his reign except the manner of its ending. In 905, an alliance of the Banu Qasi under Lubb ibn Mohammed, King Alfonso III of Asturias, and count Raymond I of Pallars brought about a successful coup in favor of the latter's nephew, Sancho Garcés, son of García Jiménez of "another part of the kingdom", forcing Fortún to retire as a monk to Leyre.
Fortún had several surviving children by his wife Oria, whose parentage has been subject to much speculation:
Íñigo Fortúnez
Aznar Fortúnez
Blasco (Velasco) Fortúnez
Lope Fortúnez
Onneca Fortúnez, who married firstly Abdallah ibn Mohammed, Emir of Córdoba, and secondly her cousin Aznar Sánchez of Larraun, grandson of king García Íñiguez, becoming the mother of the future queens Toda Aznárez, wife of Sancho Garcés, and Sancha Aznárez, wife of king Jimeno Garcés, as well as grandmother of caliph Abd-ar-Rahman III.
He is married to Aurea Oria.
They got married in the year 845.Source 1
