García VI of Navarre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

García VI Ramírez (died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (Spanish: el Restaurador), was lord of Monzón, and in 1134 became King of Navarre. He was born in the 1110s, the great-grandson of García V of Navarre. His father, Ramiro Sánchez, lord of Monzón, was son of García V's illegitimate son Sancho Garces (distinct from his legitimate half-brother, King Sancho IV). His mother was Cristina Rodríguez Díaz de Vivar, daughter of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, better known as El Cid Campeador, the recent lord of Valencia.

When Aragón, which had from 1076 been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso the Battler and fell into a succession crisis (1134), García managed to wrest Navarre from his likewise illegitimate Aragonese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the will of Alfonso. However, by agreement between him and Ramiro II, the new king of Aragón, he was deemed the "son" and Ramiro the "father" in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the supremacy of the Aragonese one.

García was obliged to surrender Rioja to Castile in 1136, and to declare himself a vassal of Alfonso VII of Castile. His kingdom was separated from Aragón completely when Alfonso entered Zaragoza and rendered the Aragonese his vassals. In 1137, he allied with Alfonso I of Portugal and confronted Alfonso VII. They confirmed a peace between 1139 and 1140.

In 1144, he married Urraca, the illegitimate daughter of the king of Alphonso VII of Castile. He was thereafter an ally of Castile in the Reconquista and present at the conquest of Almería in 1147. The marriage also made him a brother-in-law of Raymond Berengar IV, count of Barcelona, with whom he confirmed a peace treaty in 1149. The count was promised to García's daughter Blanca while already engaged to Petronilla of Aragón, but García died before the marriage could be carried out.

García was utterly incompetent and at various times was dependent upon the revenues of churches and convents. He died on 12 November 1150 in Lorca, near Estella, and was succeeded by his more competent son, Sancho VI the Wise.

[edit] Family

Sometime after 1130, he married Marguerite de l'Aigle. On 24 June 1144, in León, he married Urraca, illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII of Castile and Guntroda. His children were, by Marguerite:

* Sancho, called "the Wise", king of Navarre, married Sancha (Beatriz), daughter of Alfonso VII of Castile and Berenguela of Barcelona
* Blanca (born after 1133), married Sancho III of Castile
* Margaret, married William I of Sicily
* Sancha

A boy, Rodrigo, later count of Montescaglioso in Southern Italy, was born to queen Marguerite during the marriage, but he was widely considered not to be a son of king García and the king never recognised him.

He is sometimes numbered García IV because he was the fourth García of his dynasty (the Jiménez).

VOCATION: King of Navarre

[Wikipedia, "García VI of Navarre", retrieved 6 Oct 07]
García VI Ramírez (Garsias Ranimiriz, also García IV, because he was only the fourth García of the Jiménez dynasty; died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzón and Logroño, and, from 1134, King of Navarre. He "restored" the independence of the Navarrese crown after 58 years of union with the Kingdom of Aragon.

García was born in the early twelfth century, the grandson of Rodrigo Díaz, better known as El Cid. His father was Ramiro Sánchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garcés, illegitimate son of García V of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodríguez Díaz de Vivar, the Cid's daughter.

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 García 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 García his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions.[2] Among Garcías 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 ? the Pact of Vadoluongo ? 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.

Sometime after 1130, but before his succession, García 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. García'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, illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII and Guntroda Pérez, 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 12 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 Béarn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda López.

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 (n. ? - † Lorca (Navarra), 21 de noviembre de 1150), rey de Navarra (1134-1150). Primer rey que abandona definitivamente el título de Rey de Pamplona.

Estatua de García Ramírez en Pamplona (1750-53).

Elegido por los magnates y obispos navarros como rey al no acatar las disposiciones testamentarias de Alfonso I, "el Batallador".

Hijo del infante Ramiro Sánchez, señor de Monzón, y de Cristina, 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 Peñalén", hasta la muerte de Alfonso, "el Batallador", propusieron que el rey-monje de Aragón fuese el "padre" y García Ramírez el "hijo". Los dos conservarían su respectivo reino, sin embargo, la primacía sobre el pueblo sería de Ramiro.

Al entrar en Zaragoza Alfonso VII de León y Castilla y rendirle vasallaje los aragoneses, se acentúa la separación entre los dos reinos, que en su día fueron feudo de Sancho Garcés 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 árbitro entre los dos reinos.

En 1144, después de enviudar, se casó con una hija de Alfonso, Urraca, siendo a partir de esa fecha parientes del emperador leonés-castellano los reyes de Navarra y Aragón; Ramón Berenguer era cuñado y García Ramírez yerno. Ambos se reconocieron vasallos del emperador Alfonso VII.

A partir de esa fecha vemos a García Ramírez auxiliando a Alfonso VII en sus campañas de reconquista, concretamente en la campaña 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 catalán 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. después 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 Béarn, fallecido en 1170. Casada en segundas nupcias con el conde Pedro Manrique de Lara, II Señor de Molina y Mesa, XIII Vizconde de Narbona

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 Logroño, 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 Sánchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garcés, illegitimate son of García Sánchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodríguez Díaz 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.

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 12 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 Béarn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda López.

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.

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 Sánchez, Señor de Monzón, Señor de Logroño, 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 Peñalén", hasta la muerte de Alfonso, "el Batallador", propusieron que el rey-monje de Aragón fuese el "padre" y García Ramírez el "hijo". Los dos conservarían su respectivo reino, sin embargo, la primacía sobre el pueblo sería de Ramiro.

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 Garcés 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 árbitro entre los dos reinos.

En 1144, después de enviudar, se casó con una hija de Alfonso, Urraca, siendo a partir de esa fecha parientes del emperador leonés-castellano los reyes de Navarra y Aragón; Ramón Berenguer era cuñado 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 campañas de reconquista, concretamente en la campaña 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 catalán 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. después 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 Béarn, fallecido en 1170. Casada en segundas nupcias con el conde Pedro Manrique de Lara, II Señor de Molina y Mesa, XIII Vizconde de Narbona

o 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 (Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzón and Logroño, and, from 1134, King of Navarre. He "restored" the independence of the Navarrese crown after 58 years of union with the Kingdom of Aragon.

[edit] Early years

García was born in the early twelfth century. His father was Ramiro Sánchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garcés, illegitimate son of García Sánchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother Cristina was a daughter of Rodrigo Díaz, better known as El Cid.

[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 García 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 García his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions.[2] Among Garcías 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 — the Pact of Vadoluongo — 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, García 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, married Sancho III of Castile, while the younger, Margaret, named after her mother, married William I of Sicily. García'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 Pérez, 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 la Real in Pamplona. He was succeeded by his eldest son. He left one daughter by Urraca: Sancha, who married Gaston V of Béarn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda López.

García left, as the primary monument of his reign, the monastery of Santa María de la Oliva in Carcastillo. It is a fine example of Romanesque architecture.

* Resumen de algunas de las ideas —dice María Emma Escobar Uribe— y se copio literalmente unas frases de Claudio Sánchez 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 seguirá constituyendo un enigma histórico absolutamente indescifrable". El resumen, más o menos es el siguiete: Claro que hay muchas teorías sobre el tema, y alguna puede que sea correcta. Pérez de Urbel pensaba que los Jimenos eran parientes del duque de Gascuña, destituído en 816, que habían venido a España, cerca de sus parientes, los Arista, y en una vicisitud en que estos (los Arista) no habían podido estar cerca del trono, se habían quedado con ese trono. Hay otros datos que sugieren otra interpretación: los Anales Laurissensses y los Anales Reales Carolingios dicen: "destruída Pamplona, subyugados los vascones españoles y también los navarros..." ¿se 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 año 850 tuvo Carlos una reunión en su palacio de Verberia. Allí se presentaron los enviados de Iñigo y Jimeno, duques de los navarros ofreciéndole 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, Iñigos y Jimenos descendían de un tronco común. ¿Podría ser ese tronco el "Jimeno el Fuerte" con el que se cruzó Abd al Rahman en 781 cuando fue a tierras cispirenaicas? ¿Por eso dice el Códice de Roda : "Garcia Scemenonis et Eneco Scemenonis fratres fuerunt". De momento y según Sánchez 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 será difícil que aparezcan más papeles, aunque nunca se debe perder la esperanza!

BIOGRAPHY: d. Nov. 21, 1150, Lorca, Navarre [Spain]

byname GARCÍA THE RESTORER, Spanish GARCÍA EL RESTAURADOR, king of Pamplona (Navarre) from 1134 to 1150, grandson of Sancho IV and son of El Cid's daughter Cristina and Ramiro Sánchez, 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» (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 Sánchez, señor de Monzón y de Logroño; 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 Peñalén hasta la muerte del Batallador, propusieron que Ramiro II de Aragón fuese el "padre" y García Ramírez el "hijo". Los dos conservarían su respectivo reino, sin embargo, la primacía sobre el pueblo sería 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 árbitro entre los dos reinos.

En 1144, después de enviudar, se casó con una hija de Alfonso, Urraca, siendo a partir de esa fecha parientes del emperador leonés-castellano los reyes de Navarra y Aragón; Ramón Berenguer era cuñado 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 campañas de reconquista, concretamente en la campaña 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 catalán 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. después 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 Béarn, fallecido en 1170. Casada en segundas nupcias con el conde Pedro Manrique de Lara, II Señor 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 Logroño, 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 García 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 García his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions. Among Garcías 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 — the Pact of Vadoluongo — 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, García 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. García'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 Pérez, 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 Sánchez of Monzón, a son of Sancho Garcés, illegitimate son of García Sánchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother was Cristina Rodríguez Díaz de Vivar, the Cid's daughter.

Sometime after 1130, but before his succession, García 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. García'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 Pérez, to strengthen his relationship with his overlord.

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 Béarn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda López.
