Notes about Munia Mayor 'Muniadona' "Munia" Sánchez de Castilla reina consorte de Pamplona

Name Prefix: Countess Name Suffix: Of Castile "Munia Mayor"

Nuña (eller Major) var arving til Castilla.
Rikets infanter beskylte henne for ekteskapsbrudd. Cortés ble sammenkalt og bestemte
at hun skulle forsvare seg ved duell. Ramiro I, Sanchos eldste sønn, erklærte seg beredt til å
kjempe for dronningens ære, hvoretter bakvaskerne tok beskyldningen tilbake og hennes ære
var reddet.
Hun hadde tre sønner, Garcia, Fernando og Gonzalo.

Mayor of Castile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mayor of Castile (d. 1032) was queen of Navarre. She was originally called Muniadona (or Muñadona) and is variously called Munia (or Muña) Mayor (or just Munia or Muña). In Spanish, she is called Muniadona de Castilla. It is said that her husband Sancho III of Navarre (Sancho the Great) renamed her from her contemporary name Muniadona to Mayor, for she was the eldest in her family, yet since she had an aunt of the same name, the story is clearly apocryphal. She was the daughter of Count Sancho I of Castile. Her marriage to Sancho made her Queen consort of Navarre.

In 1029, the Count García II of Castile, Mayor's brother, was assassinated by the Vela family, Castilian exiles in León. Mayor's husband, Sancho the Great, claimed his role as feudal overlord to pass the county to their second son, Ferdinand. Likewise this brought a nominal legitimate claim to the counties of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe to her husband, who has already taken control of them militarily.

Mayor was the mother of four sons and at least one daughter:

King Garcia V of Navarre
Ferdinand the Great, king of León and Castile
Gonzalo of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza
Bernardo
Jimena, wife of Bermudo III of León
