    Note: a) FRUELA ([740]-murdered Cangas de Onís 768). The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "his son Fruela" succeeded his father as king "in the era 795 (757)"[82]. He succeeded his father in 757 as FRUELA I King of Asturias. The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that he "won many victories", including against the Cordobans at Pontubio in Galicia, that he conquered the Basque country, and "overcame the peoples of Galicia who were rebelling against him and violently laid waste the entire province"[83]. He imposed the celibacy of priests in Galicia. Ibn al-Athir records that Fruela I King of Asturias took control of “Lugo, Portucale, Salamanca, Zamora, Ávila, Segovia y Castilla”[84]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that King Fruela was killed by his own men after ruling "eleven years, three months, era 806 (768)"[85]. The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Froila filius eius [Adefonsi]” was killed “in Canicas…æra 806”[86]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Froila” reigned 11 years, five months and 20 days[87]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Froila…cum uxore sua Munia Oveti" was buried in 768[88]. m MUNIA Ovéquiz, daughter of OVECO --- & his wife --- [de Asturias] ([745/50]-[768]). The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that Fruela "overcame the rebellious Basques and took for himself a wife from their territory named Munia"[89]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Froila…cum uxore sua Munia Oveti" were buried in 768[90]. Her geographical origin is confirmed more precisely by the Chronicle of Alfonso III which records that [her son] Alfonso, after he was displaced by Maugerato, fled to Álava where he was received by his mother's relatives[91]. King Fruela I & his wife had [three] children: i) ALFONSO ([765]-Oviedo 20 Mar 842, bur Oviedo). The Historia Silense records that "Froyla…[et] uxorem…Monniam" had "filium…Adefonsum"[92]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "Alfonso the son of Fruela and grandson of the older Alfonso governed the palace" during the reign of Silo[93]. The same source states that his aunt Adosinda engineered his election to succeed on the death of her husband King Silo, but that Alfonso was displaced by Maugerato and fled to Álava where he was received by his mother's relatives[94]. He finally succeeded in 791, on the abdication of King Vermudo I[95], as ALFONSO II "el Casto" King of Asturias, anointed 14 Sep 791. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "subrinum suum Adefonsum", who had been exiled by Maugerato, succeeded when King Vermudo I was deposed[96]. King Alfonso II transferred the royal residence to Oviedo, maybe as early as 791[97]. Intense attacks by the Muslims continued, the region of Álava was sacked in 791 and Oviedo threatened, although King Alfonso's forces succeeding in routing the attackers at Llamas de Mouro[98]. The Annales Laurissenses Continuatio records that "Hadefonsi regis Gallæciæ et Asturiæ" sent "Frola" [not yet traced, maybe a relative] as legate to Charles I King of the Franks in 798[99]. King Alfonso was deposed in Sep 801 and placed in the monastery of Ablaña, but restored as king in Sep 802[100]. King Alfonso II defeated the Muslims in the valley of Pisuerga in 805 and at Lodos, near Oviedo in 816, reinforcing the impenetrability felt by the new nation. A truce was negotiated with the Muslims in 823, which lasted 15 years[101]. King Alfonso started constructing a series of fortified villages and castles in the mountains above the upper Ebro to guard against Muslim attacks, which ultimately gave the name to the area of Castile[102]. The discovery between 818 and 842 of a tomb attributed to St James the Apostle, at the place later known as Santiago de Compostela, created a focus for the new nation. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that King Alfonso died "after ruling for fifty-two years" and was buried at Oviedo[103]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Adefonsum" was buried in "ecclesia S. Mariæ" which he had founded[104]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Adefonsus” reigned 52 years, five months and 13 days[105]. ii) [daughter . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified, although the Chronicon Albeldense names “Nepotianus cognatus regis Adefonsi” as successor of King Alfonso[106]. Her existence is therefore presumably speculative, on the assumption that “cognatus” in that source indicates brother-in-law (certainly one of the possible translations, although this meaning appears only to have become generally established in Latin language sources in later centuries). m NEPOCIANO, son of ---. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "Nepotianus, count of the palace, rebelled and seized power" after the death of King Alfonso I, but was defeated at the River Narcea by King Ramiro I who had been elected to succeed. The same source records that he fled the battlefield, was captured in the province of Primorias "by the two counts Scipio and Sonna", blinded, and confined to a monastery for the rest of his life[107].] iii) [ROMÁN . Barrau-Dihigo asserts that Román, alleged son of King Fruela and supposed ancestor of the Traba family, was an entirely fictitious invention[108]. He is, for example, named in the Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos "Conde D. Roman hermano del Rey D. Alonso el Casto" as father of "D. Iuana Romanes" who married "Conde D. Mendo"[109].]

    Note: The Asturian or Astur-Leonese dynasty (Spanish dinastía asturiana or astur-leonesa), known in Arabic as the Banī Adhfūnsh ("sons of Alfonso"),[1] was the ruling family of the kingdom of Asturias and León from 739 until 1037. Under their rule, the Astur-Leonese kingdom went from a small mountain enclave to one of the dominant powers in Hispania. The Victory Cross, a symbol of the Astur-Leonese dynasty The first ruling family of Asturias lasted only two generations: Pelagius (718–737) and Fafila (737–739). The latter was succeeded by his brother-in-law, Alfonso I, the son of Duke Peter of Cantabria and wife of Fafila's sister, Ermesinda. He founded a dynasty that was to last almost 300 years.[2] For the first century, rule alternated between Alfonso's descendants and those of his brother, Fruela of Cantabria. With the death of Alfonso I's grandson, Alfonso II (842), Fruela's descendants took the throne permanently, headed by Ramiro I. At the death of Alfonso III (910), the kingdom was divided between his sons. The 10th century was thus characterized by family infighting, which was only brought to an end by the succession of Bermudo II in 984. During this period, however, the power of the neighbouring Kingdom of Pamplona waxed and in 1034 the Pamplonans captured León. The rule of the dynasty was brought to an end three years later when Bermudo III was killed in battle against his brother-in-law, Ferdinand of Castile, of the Jiménez dynasty of Pamplona, who thereafter assumed the throne. The historiography produced by and for the dynasty, such as the Chronicle of Alfonso III (late 9th century), made Duke Peter a descendant of the Visigothic king Reccared I and stressed the dynasty's supposed Gothic descent.[3]

  13. Title: Wikipedia - Fruela the cruel
    Author: According to Ibn Hayyan, in 816 a "García López (Arabic: قرسية بن لبّ‎) son of a sister of Bermudo (Arabic: برمود‎) maternal uncle of Alfonso (Arabic: إذفونش‎)", was killed in a battle led by Velasco the Gascon. This has been read two different ways, depending on whether García or Bermudo is the intended uncle of Alfonso. One interpretation would make Alfonso II's mother a Munia López, daughter of a Lope by a sister of king Bermudo I of Asturias. Alternatively, it has been suggested that Bermudo I had two sisters, one the wife of Fruela and mother of Alfonso II, the other the mother of García López, who died in battle 48 years after the death of Fruela.
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruela_I_of_Asturias;
    Note: Fruela I (or Froila I), (c. 722 – 14 January 768) called the Cruel, was the King of Asturias from 757 until his death, when he was assassinated. He was the eldest son of Alfonso I and continued the work of his father. Pelayo was his maternal grandfather. He suppressed an uprising of the Basques, from whom he took the noble Munia (or Munina), whom he later married.[1] Or according to their familiar ties a usual (unusual?) marriage alliance was renewed between their families, interpreted in the Asturians court as a diplomatic victory over the independent Basque Duchy; or, a much needed collaboration between the two Houses to reduce a seceding faction of the Alavese Basques risking a defection of these to the Banu Qasi down in the Ebro valley, with the hand of his cousin Munia as prize. Now, if the marriage entailed the lands of Alava or other Basques as dowry it is not clear but the Houses of Asturias and Pamplona will wrestle for control of this area of their shifting border realms for centuries, being culturally more Basque until later days where its nobles were allied to the Crown of Castile, finally under the Jimena House. She is mother of Fruela's eventual successor, Alfonso. According to legend, she was also mother of Jimena, mother of the legendary hero of romance Bernardo del Carpio. During his reign, the city of Oviedo was founded, on November 25, 761, when the Abbot Máximo and his uncle Fromestano erected a church in honour of Saint Vincent there. Under Fruela, good relations between the church and the king continued as in the reign of his father — Alfonso "the Catholic". Fruela did not finish his reign happily. Having assassinated his brother Vimerano (this is the basis for his nickname), and with the nobles restless, he named as his successor Bermudo (not to be confused with Fruela's cousin Bermudo I), son of Vimerano. Unfortunately a plot was formed against him, which ended with Fruela's assassination in Cangas de Onís, his capital, and his cousin Aurelius being raised to the throne instead. The bodies of Fruela and his wife Munia are interred in the cathedral of Oviedo.

    Note: Asturian appropriation of the Dynasty that arose from Cantabria The Hidden and Kidnapped History 1 / The great historian Enrique Flórez wrote in the 18th century in his book Las Reinas de Espaà ± a, that Vermudo I â € “grandson of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria- has â € œthe glory of being the trunk of the tree of our Royal House and not having touched the matter by others, it is advisable not to omit it ... ... The Royal Academy ruled in a report prepared in 1916 that the origins of the Monarchy "must be found in the untamed Cantabria". and the Asturian historian Cotarelo points out that the Crown remained linked to the family of Alfonso I "and did not leave it for several centuries." The news in recent days that an Asturian woman â € “Mrs. Letizia OrtÃz Rocasolano - will be the next Princess of Asturias and in a future Queen of Spain, has generated a wave of enthusiasm in the neighboring Principality through s of its media that, once again, monopolize or appropriate the relevant history of the origin of the Spanish Monarchy that ignores, ignores or simply hides (knowingly) that the Dynasty that connects with the current Monarch Juan Carlos I was of Cantabrian origin and that the first Kings were from the House of Cantabria, the first of the Spanish dynasties that preceded the others. There is no doubt that Asturias has a people that loves its history and expresses pride in a past from which it is obtaining evident returns of all kinds due to its connection to the origin of the Monarchy, which has obscured the leading role of Cantabria than the most rigorous Asturian historians assume in their numerous works about this time in a praiseworthy exercise of ethics and rigor. A newspaper of great prestige and regional leadership such as La Nueva Espaà ± aHe recalled a few days ago - in that objective of Asturianizing the origin of the Monarchy - that the last queen of Asturian origin was Adosinda, married to King Silo, daughter of Alfonso I the Catholic and granddaughter of both Don Pelayo and also of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria. We are going to refer to all of this in this article and in tomorrow's article, many whose testimonies of Asturian historiography are found in my work El Ducado de Cantabria, el origen de un Reino (Ediciones TantÃn, 2002, 2nd edition). In the neighboring community and recently by the referred newspaper La Nueva Espaà ± a, from Oviedo, which has been distributing a supplement on Sundays on the history of the Asturian Monarchy, in the advertising of this editorial novelty a statement is made that is not correct: that between King Don Pelayo and the current Monarch there is a line of continuity thirteen centuries. We are not going to go into the debate around Pelayo's homeland on this occasion - at the end of the 19th century an interesting controversy was already generated between Asturian and mountain historians, because rigor tells us that neither It can be affirmed that Don Pelayo was an Asturian nor was he a Cantabrian; only Menà © ndez Pidal dares to affirm that in no case was he from Asturias. His father, Favila, was Duke of Cantabria and since then the names were transmitted from grandparents to grandchildren, Pelayo's son took the name of Favila,he reigned for two years and after dying in a hunt, he left the road open to the Cantabrian King Don Alfonso, who married Ermesinda, Don Pelayo's daughter. Alfonso, who went down in history as the first of the Alfonsos and the title El Católico, was the eldest son of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria. Admitting, in a first reading, that the origin of the Spanish Monarchy arises from the union of the families of Pelayo and Pedro, Duke of Cantabria, what is beyond doubt is that Pelayo's line of succession was extinguished with Alfonso II the Chaste, great-grandson of the two warrior leaders who started the Reconquest. Both agreed to the marriage of Alfonso and Ermesinda, who were elected Kings at the death of Favila on the Mount of the Skull of Cosgaya (then known as Causegadia in all the chronicles of the Reconquest); King this one who, as Armando Cotarelo recognizes on page thirty of his work Alfonso III the Great (1), his father Don Pelayo had properties in Lià © bana and Favila himself had his residence there. They had two children, Princess Adosinda and Fruela, who were named after King Alfonso's brother,also son of the Duke of Cantabria, who from his warrior spirit so much supported the beginnings of the Reconquest. King Fruela in turn had as his son Alfonso II the Chaste, who when he died without issue, extinguished this common line of the family trunk of Pelayo and Pedro, Duke of Cantabria. The royal scepter already passed exclusively to the family of the Duke of Cantabria. Kings were the children of Fruela, the brother of King Alfonso I, grandchildren of Pedro: Aurelio and Bermudo. The latter was King between 789 and 792 and as Father Enrique Flórez wrote in his book Las Reinas de Espaà ± a, he has â € œthe glory of being the trunk of the tree of our Royal House and not having touched others the matter, it is advisable not to omit itâ € ??. His son Prince Ramiro - great-grandson of the Duke of Cantabria - by imposing the succession in the Crown, represented a milestone in the Cantabrian-Asturian monarchy, as stated by the Asturian historian Isabel Torrente when recognizing - as also It was pointed out by other leading scholars of this period, which was accompanied by the definitive triumph of the Pedro de Cantabria dynasty over that of Pelayo. The Asturian researcher, GarcÃa Toraà ± o, also recognizes this fact that shows, we insist, that between the Vermudo King â € “and not Don Pelayo- and the current Monarch there are thirteen centuries of history of the Spanish Monarchy. Armando Cotarelo, also an Asturian historian, in his book Alfonso III el Magno - who in his reign visited Cosgaya to inaugurate a church and learn about the land of his ancestors -, writes that after cutting the male succession of Don Pelayo, the Crown from the first kingdom came to be linked in the same family of the two famous Alfonsos (that of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria) â € œand did not leave it in several centuriesâ € ??, to add conclusively: â € œthe The true trunk of the ancient monarchs of the Reconquest was Pedro, Duke of Cantabriaâ € ?? (page 31). Some years ago I discovered a report from the Royal Academy of History dated April 4, 1916 (approved by the Academy at its ordinary meeting on April 7 of the same year), which has never been mentioned in historical studies on Cantabria and which curiously appears reproduced in the introduction to the book of Alfonso III el Magno by Armando Cotarelo. (3). On page twenty-eight of the aforementioned work, Cotarelo ratifies what was stated by the Royal Academy by stating that â € œthe origins of this new dynasty must be sought in the untamed Cantabriaâ € ??, adding that they also understood it that way very famous historians, such as Morales (Chron. Gen., lib. III, ch. 4); Garibay (Comp. Hist., Part. I, book. VIII, ch. 8); Sota (Chron. Of the princes of Ast. And Cant., Lib. III, ch. 42); Trelles (Asturias illustr., II, 50), etc. One last note for today. Queen Adosinda (774-783) who La Nueva Espaà ± a cites as the last Asturian national, was the daughter of Alfonso I the Catholic, born like her father in the land of León. Her influence was so important that she made her husband, the noble Silo, become King at a time when the Crown was not inherited, although it did not leave the family of the Duke of Cantabria at any time. Those were the times when the original nucleus of the first kingdom was in Lià © bana until it was spreading towards the area of ​​Asturias, settling the capital in Cangas de OnÃs, an Asturian part that was always Cantabrian as recognized by nothing suspicious historian Sánchez Albornoz. And so much was that area that, let us remember, the municipalities of Peà ± amellera Alta and Baja were Cantabrian until the middle of the 19th century;that is, for historical purposes until yesterday. Consequently, the Monarchy had its beginnings in Lià © bana and Cantabria was the first dynasty. Tomorrow we will conclude these reflections.
