Munio Vélaz
Munio Vélaz or Vigílaz (died before 931) was the Count of Álava and probably also of Biscay. The exact dates of his countship are unknown. Only one document, dated 18 May 919 in the cartularies of Valpuesta, names Munio as count in Álava. He ruled between counts Gonzalo Téllez (last seen as count in 913) and Fernando Díaz (first seen in 923). The counts of Álava are described variously in contemporary documents as ruling "in" Álava, Lantarón or Cerezo. The next count after Munio described as ruling Álava proper is Álvaro Herraméliz in 929. They governed the eastern borderlands of the kingdom of León on behalf of the crown. Munio's patronymic surname, Vélaz or Vigílaz, indicates that his father was named Vela, but no genealogical information about Munio has survived. Geography, chronology and onomastics suggest that he may have been a son of Vela Jiménez, who was the count of Álava during the battles of Cellorigo in 882–83. The document of 18 May 919 shows M ...

Count Of Álava
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility. Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. . The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with the countship. Definition The word ''count'' came into English from the French ''comte'', itself from Latin ''comes''—in its accusative ''comitem''—meaning “companion”, and later “companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor”. The adjective form of the word is "comital". The British and Irish equivalent is an earl (whose wife is a "countess", for lack of an English term). In the late Roman Empire, the Latin title ''comes'' denoted the high rank of various courtiers and provincial officials, either military or administrative: before Anthemius became emperor in the West in 467, he was a military ''comes ...

Gonzalo Téllez
Gonzalo Téllez (died 915) was a nobleman who was Count of Lantarón and Cerezo (c. 897–c. 915) and is also mentioned in a document dated 903 as Count of Castile. He and his wife were the founders of the Monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza. ''Tenencias'' and estates, military campaigns and repopulation Because of the relentless incursions of the armies of the Emirate of Córdoba from the end of the 8th-century against the counties of Castile and Álava, which intensified in the first decades of the 9th-century, it became necessary to build several defensive fortifications, including those at Cerezo in Castile and at Lantarón and Astúlez in Álava. The first mention of a count governing Álava exclusively dates to 882 when Vela Jiménez appears as ''tenente'' of the region, which was possibly governed previously by Count Rodrigo of Castile. Near the end of his reign, King Alfonso III of Asturias (866–910) reorganized these easternmost lands and divided them into coun ...

Bernard I Of Ribagorza
Bernard (''Bernhard'') is a French and West Germanic masculine given name. It is also a surname. The name is attested from at least the 9th century.

Kingdom Of Pamplona
The Kingdom of Navarre (; , , , ), originally the Kingdom of Pamplona (), was a Basque kingdom that occupied lands on both sides of the western Pyrenees, alongside the Atlantic Ocean between present-day Spain and France. The medieval state took form around the city of Pamplona during the first centuries of the Iberian Reconquista. The kingdom has its origins in the conflict in the buffer region between the Carolingian Empire and the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba that controlled most of the Iberian Peninsula. The city of Pamplona (; ), had been the main city of the indigenous Vasconic population and was located amid a predominantly Basque-speaking area. In an event traditionally dated to 824, Íñigo Arista was elected or declared ruler of the area around Pamplona in opposition to Frankish expansion into the region, originally as vassal to the Córdoba Emirate. This polity evolved into the Kingdom of Pamplona. In the first quarter of the 10th century, the Kingdom was able to briefl ...
