Fruela I De Asturias (Museo Del Prado)
Fruela or Froila is a masculine given name of Gothic origin used in Spain in the Middle Ages. The form "Froila" is that which appears in Latin inscriptions and documents, while "Fruela" is the Old Spanish form. For historical persons, the forms are largely interchangeable. The variant Froilán is of the same origin, but derives from the Latin oblique case form ''Froilane''. The feminine forms of the name, Froileuva (Froiliuba) or Froilana, were rarer.Julio de Prado Reyero, ''Siguiendo las huellas de San Froilán'' (Editorial San Esteban, 1994), pp. 26–27. The patronymic derived from Froila is Fróilaz (or Froilaz). Numerous variations on the name occur in medieval sources. From western Iberia: Froilla, Froyla, Froilo, Froia, Froiam, Frogila, Froiano, Froilarius, Froilatius, Froilano. From eastern Iberia: Foilani, Fraula, Friulano, Frodane, Froilane, Froilani, Froilus, Frolani, Frolia, Froylane, Froylano, Froylus, Frua, Fruao, Fruglane, Fruila, Fruilane, Fruilanus, Fruilla, Frula, F ...

Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner. In more formal situations, a person's surname is more commonly used. The idioms 'on a first-name basis' and 'being on first-name terms' refer to the familiarity inherent in addressing someone by their given name. By contrast, a surname (also known as a family name, last name, or ''gentile name, gentile'' name) is normally inherited and shared with other members of one's immediate family. Regnal names ...

Fruela II Of Asturias
Fruela II (Froila II) (c. 875–July 925) was the King of Asturias from the death of his father, Alfonso III of Asturias, in 910 to his own death. When his father died, the kingdom was divided, with the third son, Fruela, taking the original portion (Asturias); the second, Ordoño, taking Galicia; and the eldest, García, taking León. As king of Asturias, he had the job of consolidating the region later called Castile and keeping its counts in check. Fruela's mother was Jimena of Pamplona. He himself married twice, first to a woman of unknown origin named Nunila or Nunilona (late sources make her a member of the Basque Jimenez dynasty, but this is unsupported). His second wife, Urraca, according to Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Hazm, was the daughter of the Banu Qasi governor of Tudela. They were married by 917. Fruela maintained good relations with his brother Ordoño, who had the hegemony. They cooperated in the Reconquista and Fruela undersigned Ordoño's diplomas as ''Froila rex ...

Favila Of Asturias
Favila or Fafila (died 739) was the second King of Asturias from 737 until his death. He was the only son and successor of Pelagius, the first Asturian monarch. In 737 he founded the Church of Santa Cruz, in his capital of Cangas de Onís, but aside from this, nothing else about his reign is known. Favila was killed by a bear while on a hunt in 739. As a result, Asturian chroniclers were critical of him for his excessive levity. However, royal hunts were not just for entertainment, they helped foster political unity within the court. Favila was buried with his wife Froiluba in the Church of Santa Cruz de Cangas de Onís. He was succeeded by his brother-in-law Alfonso, husband of his sister Ermesinda Ermesinda (c. 720 or c. 730 – ?) alternatively Ormisenda, Ermisenda, Ermesinde, Ermessenda) was queen consort of the Kingdom of Asturias, wife of King Alfonso I of Asturias ("Alfonso the Catholic"). She was the daughter of King Pelagius of Astu .... Notes References * * * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Froila Muñoz
Froila (or Fruela) Muñoz was a Leonese count. The sixty-seven surviving charters recording his property exchanges between 1007 and 1045 provide "compelling evidence of the active part that was being played by members of the aristocracy in the land markets of eleventh-century León" and that no "ecclesiastical monopoly on land investment and speculation existed."Simon F. Barton, ''The Aristocracy in Twelfth-century León and Castile'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997), 72. It is also partial evidence of a "spectacular increase in the mobility of land" in Christian Spain in the eleventh century "as both aristocratic families and ecclesiastical institutions sought to expand their domains at the expense of individual peasant proprietors". In the eleventh and twelfth centuries in Spain, serious crimes such as murder, rape, arson, robbery, and cattle rustling were generally punished by the local lord with the imposition of a ''calumnia'', or compensatory fine. These were more ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Froila Arias
Froila Arias (flourished 1056–72) was a Galician count who governed the fortress of Traba and the region of Trastámara during a tumultuous period. Froila was the son of Arias Tedóniz (flourished 1044–47), related apparently to the family of Rudesind, founder of the monastery of Celanova, with which Froila was connected as early a 1056. Froila was married to Ardio Díaz. As her dowry, she brought him the tenancy of Aranga. They had a daughter, Urraca Fróilaz, who married Count Pedro Fróilaz de Traba. The tenancies of Traba and Trastámara passed to Pedro after Froila's death. Froila may have had another daughter who was the mother of Arias Pérez. In early 1071, King García II defeated the rebellious count of Portugal, Nuno Mendes and was then defeated in turn and expelled from Galicia by Sancho II of Castile and Alfonso VI of León. Froila appears to have gone quickly to over to the side of Alfonso, confirming his loyalty by confirming a charter of Alfonso issued in ...

Froia (bishop Of Vic)
Froia (or Fruia, ca, Frujà or ; died 992×93) was a canon of the cathedral of Vic from 957 and bishop from 972. His predecessor, Atto, tried to have Vic raised to archiepiscopal status, but was assassinated by his opponents. Elected to replace him, Froia was consecrated by Ermengol, archbishop of Narbonne, who had opposed Atto because Vic was a suffragan diocese of Narbonne. On 25 February 978, Pope Benedict VII confirmed the possessions and borders of the see of Vic in a pair of bulls sent to Froia and the other suffragan bishops of Narbonne. Froia pursued a policy of acquiring and building castles along the Catalan frontier, even within the county and diocese of Barcelona. In 987, Count Borrell II of Barcelona donated half of the frontier castle of Miralles to Froia, who extracted an oath of fidelity from the castellan or vicar, Ennec Bonfill: the earliest surviving written oath from Catalonia. Froia also acquired the castles of Les Espases, Esparreguera Esparreguera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
