  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    Alfons V van León (994 - Viseu, 1028), bijg. de Edele, was de enige zoon van Bermudo II van León en zijn tweede echtgenote, Elvira van Castilië. Hij volgde in 999 zijn vader op als koning van León, onder voogdij van zijn moeder.

    Alfons was een wijs regeerder, die zijn verwoest en ontvolkt land weder opbouwde en handel, landbouw en ambachtswezen bevorderde. In zijn strijd met Castilië en Navarra verloor Alfons wel de leidinggevende positie van León onder de Spaanse koninkrijken, aan Navarra.

    Alfonso V (994–1028), called the Noble, was King of León from 999 to 1028. He was the son of Bermudo II by his second wife Elvira García of Castile. The Abbot Oliva called him "Emperor of Spain".

    Because of his youth at his father's death, his mother acted as a regent. She retired in 1007 and became a nun. He began the work of reorganizing the Christian kingdom of the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula after a most disastrous period of civil war and Arab inroads. Enough is known of him to justify the belief that he had some of the qualities of a soldier and a statesman.

    His name, and that of his wife Elvira Mendes (sometimes Geloria Mendes), are associated with the grant of the first franchises of León (1017). He was killed by an arrow while besieging the town of Viseu in northern Portugal, then held by the Muslims.
  • He died in the year 1028 in Viseu, he was 34 years old.
  • A child of Bermudo II van Leon and Elvira Garcia van Castillië
