    Note: FÁFILA, son of [THEODEFREDO of the Visigoths & his wife Ricilo] (-[murdered before 702]). Fáfila is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[24] as the possible son of Theodefredo, but the primary source on which this information is based has not been identified. According to Barrau-Dihigo, Fáfila's alleged possible family relationship with the Visigothic kings was an invention of the 18th century[25]. However, the Chronicon Albeldense states that his son Pelayo was “nepos Ruderici regis Toletani”, although according to the same source Pelayo´s father was named “Veremundi”[26]. [Duque de Cantabria]: De Rebus Hispaniæ names "Pelagium filium Fafilæ ducis Cantabriæ"[27], which according to Barrau-Dihigo is the only reference to Fáfila bearing this title[28]. The historical basis for supposing that there was a "Dukedom of Cantabria" under the Visigoths is unclear (see the document SPAIN, VANDALS, SUEVI & VISIGOTHS, Chapter 3.B, Visigoth Duces, for a discussion of territorial jurisdiction of duces in the Visigothic kingdom). m ---. The name of Fáfila's wife is not known. Fáfila & his wife had [two] children: 1. PELAYO ([685/90]-Cangas de Onís 737[29], bur Santa Eulalia). 2. daughter. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records the marriage of "Munnuza, a companion of Tariq" in the city of Gijón and the sister of King Pelayo, stating that she came to Asturias with her brother[54].
