Mendo Nunes
Mendo Nunes (Spanish: Menendo Núñez; (1020/10281050/1054) was a Count of Portugal from the family of Vímara Peres as the son of Nuno Alvites and Ilduara Mendes.

The king did this gradually, region by region, so as not to alienate the powerful nobility of the kingdom and, in the case of the County of Portugal, by trying not to antagonize the powerful Galici ...

Alfonso Núñez ('' fl.'' 1101–1135) was a Galician nobleman and military leader. He was the eldest son of Nuño Velázquez and Fronilde Sánchez, daughter of Count Sancho Ordóñez.
