Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: Abt 919

Notes:

"Garcia Sanchez I appears as king about 929, and is sole king from 931, although his mother Toda served as regent until he overthrew her control with the help of her kinsman, Abd ar Rahman III. He then continued to rule, largely under the thumb of Abd ar Rahman until the latter's death in 961, and on to 970. [...The nickname] 'the Trembler' is more in line with the life of Garcia I, who after expelling his mother spent his entire reign trembling under the thumb of Cordoba without putting up any resistance, and not to Garcia II, who though unsuccessful, stood up to Cordoba and tried to escape from their yoke." [Todd A. Farmerie, citation details below.]

From Leo van de Pas's site:

Garcia was born about 919, the son of Sancho I Garcés, king of Navarre, and Toda Aznárez. He was the king of Pamplona from the death of his uncle Jimeno Garcés. As he was just six years old at the time of his father's death, his uncle succeeded, and it was only in 930, the last year of the latter's reign, that Garcia appears with the royal title, though this was probably just a courtesy. On Jimeno's death in 931 the 12-year old Garcia succeeded, with his mother Toda serving as regent. This regency ended in 934, when his first cousin Caliph Abd-ar-Rahman III intervened on his behalf, and Garcia began to rule as sole king.

Garcia married Andregoto Galìndez. Andregoto (daughter of Galindo II Aznarez and Sancha Garcés of Pamplona) died in 972. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Fernán González was the first autonomous count of Castile, son of Gonzalo Fernández de Burgos, who had been named count of Arlanza and the Duero around the year 900, and by tradition a descendant of semi-legendary judge Nuño Rasura. His mother Muniadona was so well remembered that the later Counts of Castile would sometimes be recorded by Iberian Muslim scholars as Ibn Mama Duna (descendant of Muniadona)." [Wikipedia]

Notes:

First count of Saldaña.

From Spanish-language Wikipedia (translated by Google, cleaned up by PNH):

Diego Muñoz, in Latin Didacus Munnioz, magnate of Palencia, original member of the Banu Gómez family, was the first count of Saldaña.

He was one of the most important figures of the Kingdom of Leon in the first half of the tenth century. He managed to consolidate family power thanks to an intelligent marriage policy, to distance himself from and yet stay in accord with the monarch Ramiro I, and to establish a power base for his family, the Banu Gómez, who according to the Arab historian Ibn Khaldun: "reigned in the country which extends between Zamora and Castile."

It can be said that Diego Muñoz achieved almost the same goals as the powerful Count of Castile, Fernán González. [...]
