Nuño
(Spanish) or (Catalan) is a masculine given name of Latin origin (, , , and so on). Its Portuguese form is . Its patronymic is (). Already in the Middle Ages the name was being confused with the similar but distinct name Munio. The meaning of the name is disputed. It could come from late Latin , meaning 'tutor', later 'monk'. The classicist Iiro Kajanto proposed a Celtic origin, since the name is mainly found in formerly Celtic-speaking parts of Spain.Lidia Becker (2009), ''Hispano-romanisches Namenbuch: Untersuchung der Personennamen vorrömischer, griechischer und lateinisch-romanischer Etymologie auf der Iberischen Halbinsel im Mittelalter (6.–12.

Nuño González De Lara (died 1275)
Nuño González I de Lara (died 8 September 1275), nicknamed ''el Bueno'' ("the Good"), was a Castilian nobleman, royal counsellor and military leader. He was the head of the House of Lara and a close personal friend of Alfonso X. The king's policies often stymied his efforts to increase the power and wealth of his house, and in 1272 he led many prominent noblemen into open rebellion. Restored to favour the next year, he died defending the castle of Écija from a Moroccan invasion. Early life and family Nuño was the younger son of Gonzalo Núñez de Lara and María Díaz, daughter of Count Diego López II of the House of Haro. His older brother was Diego González, who died around 1239. Nuño was raised on the Lara estates near Villaldemiro and Celada. He became the closest friend of the future Alfonso X during the prince's childhood (1223–31), when King Ferdinand III sent him to be raised away from the royal court. Nuño did not receive a large inheritance, and had litt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nuño Pérez De Lara
Nuño Pérez de Lara (died 3 August 1177) was a Castilian nobleman, politician and military leader. He began his career at the court of the Emperor Alfonso VII, during whose reign he took part in the ''repoblación'' of the Extremadura and the defence of the Almohad frontier. Between 1164 and 1169 he governed Castile as regent for the underage Alfonso VIII, and he continued to exercise semi-regal power in the kingdom until 1176. He founded two monasteries and fostered the cult of Thomas Becket in Spain. He died taking part in the ''Reconquista'' of Cuenca.

Nuño Álvarez De Carazo
Nuño Álvarez de Carazo (''floruit'' 1028–1054) was a Castilian nobleman, diplomat, and warrior. Throughout his career he maintained important relations with the Kingdom of Navarre, which his lands and lordships bordered. There were at least three persons named "Nuño Álvarez" in mid eleventh-century Castile. Nuño Álvarez de Carazo appears in sixteen documents between 1033 and 1054 with the honorific ' or ' and two with the territorial appellation ''de Carazo''. He was the eldest of his brothers and may have been the maternal great uncle of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, his brother Rodrigo being the father of Rodrigo Díaz's mother. Since Nuño's brother Diego and sister Mumadona held land at Carazo and Lara de los Infantes, it seems likely that Nuño's lordship in this region was based on familial estates and patrimonial lands. Carazo is not particularly near the border with Navarre, but it is probable that the land between them was sparsely populated. The lowlands near where ...

Nuño Rasura
Nuño Rasura was one of two legendary judges of County of Castile, Castile, the other being his son-in-law Laín Calvo. According to the ''Mocedades de Rodrigo'', Nuño gained the nickname "Rasura" because "he took from Castile equal measures of wheat" to offer as a gift to Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Church of Saint James. English medievalist Richard A. Fletcher writes that "the legend of the judges has more to tell us of the Castilians' self-image at a later date than of the realities of the ninth century: they liked to think of themselves as sturdy, independent, resourceful, democratic." The twelfth-century ''Liber regum'' and the ''Poema de Fernán González'' report that at the end of the ninth century reign of Alfonso II of Asturias (died 842), two judges were named to administer and defend the newly repopulating region that would become Castile. Nuño and Laín are described by the ''Poema'' as ancestors, respectively, of Castilian heroes Fernán González of Cast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nuño De Guzmán
Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán (c. 14901558) was a Spanish conquistador and colonial administrator in New Spain. He was the governor of the province of Pánuco from 1525 to 1533 and of Nueva Galicia from 1529 to 1534, and president of the first Royal Audiencia of Mexico – the high court that governed New Spain – from 1528 to 1530. He founded several cities in Northwestern Mexico, including Guadalajara. Originally a bodyguard of Charles I of Spain, he was sent to Mexico to counterbalance the influence of the leader of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, Hernán Cortés, since the King worried he was becoming too powerful. As Governor of Pánuco, Guzmán cracked down hard on the supporters of Cortés, stripping him and his supporters of property and rights. He conducted numerous expeditions of conquest into the northwestern areas of Mexico, enslaving thousands of Indians and shipping them to the Caribbean colonies. In the resulting power struggles where he also made himself a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nuño Fernández
Nuño Fernández (''fl''. 920–27) was a nobleman of the Kingdom of León. He held both the counties of Burgos (from c. 920) and Castile (from before 926) in the east of the kingdom. Nuño was probably the brother of Gonzalo Fernández, who was the count of Burgos and Castile until at least 915. Although records are too scarce to be sure, Nuño probably succeeded his brother in Burgos, but not in Castile, where a count named Fernando was in power in 917. A count named Rodrigo Fernández, mentioned in charter of 926, otherwise unknown, may be a younger brother of Nuño's. According to the ''Anales Castellanos Primeros'', in 912 King García I of León gave three counts the responsibility of repopulating the southern Castilian lands down to the river Duero: Count Gonzalo Téllez of Lantarón, Count Munio Núñez of Castile and Gonzalo Fernández. It is likely that Gonzalo's younger brother Nuño was also involved in this major act of resettlement. Gonzalo was responsible for esta ...

Nuño Sánchez
Nuño Sánchez ( ca, Nunó, ''Nunyó'', or'' Nunyo Sanç'', french: Nuno Sanche) ( 1185 – 1242) was a nobleman and statesman in the Crown of Aragon. Nuño was the son of Sancho, Count of Provence, Roussillon, and Cerdagne, and Sancha Núñez of the House of Lara. His father was dispossessed of Provence in 1185 but maintained Roussillon and Cerdagne until his death in 1223, handing control of them over to his son as early as 1212. He was formally invested with them by Peter II of Aragon later that year. His full Latin title was ''Nunus Sancii, Dei gratia dominus de Rossillionis, Vallis de Asperii, Conflent et Cerritane'' ("Nuño Sánchez, by the grace of God lord of Roussillon, Vallespir, Conflent and Cerdagne"). His investment was of little help to Peter, for Nuño arrived too late to be of any service at the Battle of Muret (1213), where Peter died. Subsequently he and his father served as regents for Peter's minor heir, James I. In 1215 his father married him to Peronell ...

Nuño González De Lara (died 1291)

He was the son of Nuño González I and Teresa Alfonso, illegitimate daughter of King Alfonso IX of León. His brother was Juan Núñez I de Lara. In June 1268, Nuño visited the tent of Ibn al-Ahmar, emir of Granada, while the latter was in Seville. Ibn al-Ahmar was trying to pry King Alfonso X away from his alliance with the Banu Ashqilula, who were in revolt against the emir. Nuño complained of the injustices and ignominies his family had suffered under Alfonso X, and Ibn al-Ahmar, glad to have gained a Castilian ally, offered to help the Laras obtain justice in exchange for their military assistance against the Banu Ashqilula. He gave Nuño some jewels and told him to inform his father and brother of their agreement. The emir warned him that no action would be immediately forthcoming and to wait for his indication. In 1272, the Marinid emir of Morocco, Abu Yusuf Ya' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
