  === Life Sketch ===
  Jimena Garcés Jimena also in Spanish, Galician, Aragonese, Asturian and Portuguese, Ximena in Catalan and Basque (around the middle of the ninth century - after 912 ) was royal princess of Navarre and queen consort of Asturias lived between IX and the X century.
  
  «b»Origin«/b»
  She was the daughter of the king of Pamplona, García I Íñiguez, and his first wife Urraca, who according to some sources, including the historian Jaime de Salazar y Acha, was the daughter of Musà ibn Musà ibn Fortún, the head of the Banu Qasi family. But according to other sources it was of royal lineage.
  
  «b»Biography«/b»
  Jimena belonged to the Iñiguez dynasty, who ruled over the territories corresponding to the Navarra region from 824, that is when his grandfather Íñigo I Íñiguez Arista inherited the crown.
  
  Between the years 869 and 870, according to the Historia silense, Jimena was married to King Alfonso III of Asturias, the last king of Asturias, who also controlled Galicia and León, who ruled from 866 to 910. Alfonso III and Jimena were first cousins.
  
  Jimena was queen consort from 869 until 901, the year her husband abdicated in favor of his children. He was in fact the mother of three kings: Garcia became king of León, Ordono of Galicia and, at the death of his brother, Garcia, also of Leon, and Fruela of Asturias and, on the death of his brother, Ordoño II, also of Galicia and Leon. Ramiro was proclaimed king but only formally because no lands were assigned to him.
  
  To bring the king to abdication was a revolt unleashed by his children and supported by Jimena. After depositing the crown, the king and queen withdrew Zamora. Alfonso died in 910, Jimena two years later.
  
  «b»Children«/b»
  Jimena gave her husband six sons and three females:
  
  1.) García I ( 871-914 ), king of León from 910 to 914
  
  2.) Ordono II ( 873-924 ), king of Galicia from 910 to 924 and of León from 914 to 924
  
  3.) Fruela II ( 875-925 ), king of Asturias from 910 to 925 and from León and Galicia from 924 to 925
  
  4.) Bermudo (?-890)
  
  5.) Ramiro (?-929), in 910, was proclaimed king, but without lands.
  
  6.) Gonzalo (?-920), became abbot in Oviedo
  
  None of the three female daughters are known
  ____________________________________________
  Jimena is the documented wife of king Alfonso III of Asturias. That she is from Pamplona is deduced from her Basque name. While there has been some scholarly discussion regarding the possible identty of her father, the general consensus is that only Garcia Iniguez was powerful enough for the Asturian king to break with the previous practice of marryiong within his own kingdom and instead form a marriage pact with a neighboring statelet.
  
  === Parentage ===
  Though her name and the novel names introduced into the Asturian royal family with her children are ample evidence that her origins were in Pamplona, there is no direct contemporary record that identifies her parentage. It has basically been deduced (guessed) with the reasoning that at the appropriate time period, only Garcia Iniguez was both powerful enough and documented to have been ally of Alfonso's father, such that his daughter would have represented an appropriate match for the future king. This is not to say that there haven't been other hypotheses put forward, but the others have problematic chronology or are just picking a name almost at random from the historical record.
