Fortún Galíndez
Fortún Galíndez (''floruit'' 924–972) was a powerful nobleman in the Kingdom of Navarre in the tenth century. He is the only recorded Navarrese of that time to bear the title ''dux'' (duke). He was entrusted by Sancho I with the newly conquered territory of the Rioja Alta around Nájera. In 924 he held the title ''senior in Naiera'' (lord in Nájera); from 942 he was ''praefectus in Naiera'' (prefect in Nájera); and from 950 he was titled ''dux''. He appears to have governed the Rioja with quasi-regal authority, part of a Navarrese experiment in creating a new kingdom, which would be the Kingdom of Viguera. Based on his patronymic, Fortún's father must have been Galindo. From 924 to 943 Fortún used the title ''senior'' or ''sennor'' (lord, señor). He was with the royal court frequently during this period, witnessing several royal donations. On 28 October 924 Fortún witnessed the transfer of the monastery of San Pedro de Usún to the diocese of Oya, in which charter h ...

Floruit
''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the career ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fortún Garcés Of Pamplona
Fortún Garcés (Basque: ''Orti Gartzez''; died 922) nicknamed the One-eyed (''el Tuerto''), and years later the Monk (''el Monje''), was king of Pamplona from 870/882 until 905. He appears in Arabic records as ''Fortoûn ibn Garsiya'' (''فرتون بن غرسية''). He was the eldest son of García Iñíguez and grandson of Íñigo Arista, the first king of Pamplona. Reigning for about thirty years, Fortún Garcés would be the last king of the Íñiguez dynasty. Biography Fortún was born at an unknown date, being the eldest son of García Íñiguez, king of Pamplona, and a woman named Urraca, who could have been the granddaughter of Musa ibn Musa al-Qasawi, the leader of the Banu Qasi clan. Little is known about his early life. King García Íñiguez had worked towards a closer relationship with the Kingdom of Asturias, distancing himself and his kingdom from the Banu Qasi dynasty that ruled the lands near the Ebro river. He was involved in repeated armed confl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fortún Garcés Cajal
Fortún Garcés Cajal (died 1146) was a Navarro- Aragonese nobleman and statesman, perhaps "the greatest noble of Alfonso the Battler's reign". He was very wealthy in both land and money, and could raise two to three hundred knights for his retinue, funded both out of his treasury and enfeoffed on his lands. In 1113 Fortún replaced Diego López I de Haro in the large and important tenancy of Nájera and Viguera. He held it until 1135. After the death of Alfonso the Battler in 1134, Fortún became a vassal of King Alfonso VII of Castile. Lordships Fortún was probably born around 1075. Nothing is known of his life before he appears at the court of Alfonso the Battler in 1110. In that year he witnessed Alfonso's arbitration of a dispute between the diocese of Pamplona and the abbey of Saint-Sernin at Toulouse over possession of the church of Artajona. Thereafter, Fortún's rise was rapid. As a servant of the crown, Fortún held several lordships (''tenencias''), compact terr ...

García Íñiguez Of Pamplona
García Íñiguez I (Latin: ''Garsea Enneconis'', Basque: ''Gartzea Eneko''; c. 810 – 882), also known as García I was the second king of Pamplona from 851–2 until his death. He was the son of Íñigo Arista, the first king of Pamplona. Educated in Cordoba, he was a successful military leader who led the military campaigns of the kingdom during the last years of his father's life. Biography Educated in Córdoba, as a guest at the court of the Emir of Córdoba, García was the son of Íñigo Arista, the first king of a Basque dynasty ruling in Pamplona up to the late 9th century. When his father was stricken by paralysis in 842, he became regent of the kingdom (or perhaps co-regent with his uncle Fortún Íñiguez). He and his kinsman Mūsā ibn Mūsā ibn Fortún of the Banu Qasi rebelled against the Cordoban emir in 843. This rebellion was put down by Emir Abd ar-Rahman II, who attacked the Kingdom of Pamplona, defeating García badly and killing Fortún. At his fath ...

Fortún Jiménez (count)
Fortún Jiménez ( 943–58) was the count of Aragon at least between 947 and 958. At that time, Aragon was under the authority of the king of Pamplona, then García Sánchez I, and Fortún appears to have been exercising authority on behalf of the king's heir, the future Sancho II. In a document from 947, Fortún is described as the guardian or tutor of the young Sancho, who was the heir to Aragon through his mother Queen Andregoto Galíndez. No primary source records Fortún Jiménez's family relations. The historian Antonio Ubieto Arteta presents three hypotheses concerning his relationships. First, he proposes that he was the son of King Jimeno Garcés, who reigned in Pamplona between 925 and 931 before García Sánchez I came of age. This would make him a first cousin of his sovereign, García Sánchez. Second, he suggests that he married Belasquita, a younger daughter of Count Galindo Aznárez II of Aragon, and was the grandfather of Andregoto (fl. 1075), mother of the promi ...
