Salvador González (11th Century)
Salvador González (died 1067) was a Kingdom of Castile, Castilian nobleman active in the regions of La Bureba and Province of Burgos, Burgos in the middle third of the eleventh century. His origins are obscure, and he thus stands at the head of his lineage, the Salvadórez. He remained loyal to the ruler of Castile throughout his career, even when it meant a loss of position after the Bureba was acquired by neighbouring Kingdom of Pamplona, Pamplona. Family Although the name of Salvador's father is indicated by his patronymic (''González'' means "son of Gonzalo"), modern historians disagree on his identity. As a result, Salvador is the earliest known member of his lineage, called by consequence the Salvadórez (or Salvadores). According to Margarita Torres, Gonzalo was probably Gonzalo García, son of Count García Fernández of Castile and Countess Ava of Ribagorza. Gonzalo Martínez Díez regards this descent as impossible. Justo Pérez de Urbel writes that the lineage probabl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sierra De Atapuerca
The Atapuerca Mountains () is a karstic hill formation near the village of Atapuerca in the province of Burgos (autonomous community of Castile and Leon), northern Spain. In a still ongoing excavation campaign, rich fossil deposits and stone tool assemblages have been discovered which are attributed to the earliest known hominin residents in Western Europe. This "exceptional reserve of data" has been deposited during extensive Lower Paleolithic presence, as the Atapuerca Mountains served as the preferred occupation site of ''Homo erectus'', ''Homo antecessor'', ''Homo heidelbergensis'' and ''Homo neanderthalensis'' communities. The earliest specimen so far unearthed and reliably dated confirm an age between 1.2 million and 630,000 years. Some finds are exhibited in the nearby Museum of Human Evolution, in Burgos.

Stephanie, Queen Of Navarre
Stephanie or Estefania (died after 1066) was Queen of Navarre as the wife of García Sánchez III of Navarre. Early chroniclers are in conflict over her parentage. Origins Parentage Stephanie was born at an unknown date, and is first recorded as wife of García in a document dated 1038/40. There are two theories concerning Stephanie's parentage. The first is that she was the daughter of Berenguer Ramon I, Count of Barcelona. Another theory is Stephanie was the daughter of Bernard-Roger, Count of Bigorre and his wife Garsenda. Possible first marriage There are other hints, besides the dubious account of the ''Chronicle of Saint-Pierre-le-Vif'', to an earlier marriage by Stephanie.

Royal Demesne
Crown land, also known as royal domain, is a territorial area belonging to the monarch, who personifies the Crown. It is the equivalent of an entailed estate and passes with the monarchy, being inseparable from it. Today, in Commonwealth realms, crown land is considered public land and is apart from the monarch's private estate. Australia In Australia, public lands without a specific tenure (e.g. National Park or State Forest) are referred to as Crown land or State Land, which is described as being held in the "right of the Crown" of either an individual State or the Commonwealth of Australia (as Australia is a federation, there is no single "Crown" as legal entity). Most Crown lands in Australia are held by the Crown in the right of a State. The only land held by the Commonwealth consists of land in the Northern Territory (surrendered by South Australia), the Australian Capital Territory, Jervis Bay Territory, and small areas acquired for airports, defence and other government ...
