Íñigo López, Lord Of Biscay
Íñigo López (''floruit'' 1040–1076; dead by 1079?) was the first Lord of Biscay. Although the date is not known precisely, Íñigo's government of Biscay began between 1040 and 1043 at the latest.Ángel Martín Duque (1999), "Vasconia en la Alta Edad Media: una somera aproximación", ''Revista Internacional de Estudios Vascos'', 44, 898. He was appointed by the king, García Sánchez III of Navarre, and did not govern Biscay by hereditary right.Canal Sánchez-Pagín, 5. At some point during the 1040s he received or inherited the rank of count (''comes'' in Latin). Around the end of his life he began using the style " by the grace of God" (''gratia Dei''), recorded for the first time written in legal documents after 1072. This style indicated a new claim to govern Biscay through the agency of God (i.e., by right) and not merely at the king's will. Íñigo's origins are obscure, but he may have been a son of Lope Velázquez de Ayala, a lord in Álava, Cantabria and nearby parts ...

Lope Íñiguez
Lope Íñiguez ('. 1050 – 1093) succeeded his father Íñigo López to become the second Lord of Biscay in 1076. Íñigo died shortly after the assassination of his overlord Sancho IV of Navarre and the subsequent takeover of Biscay, Álava, part of Guipúzcoa and La Rioja by Alfonso VI of Castile.
