Lifestory
Onneca Fortúnez or Iñiga Fortúnez[1][2] (c. 848 – after 890)[3] was a Basque[4] princess from the Kingdom of Pamplona, later known as the Kingdom of Navarre. She was the daughter of Fortún Garcés of P
=== Disagreement over identity of Abdullah's wife ===
Oneca Fortunez is known to have married Aznar Sanchez of Larraun and had three children, Sancho, Toda and Sancha (wife of king Jimeno). A primary source, a 10th century genealogy found in the Codice de Roda, says that she later married Emir Abdullah and was mother of his son Muhammad and thus grandmother of Caliph Abd al-Rahman III. The problem is that this is chronologically impossible. Toda could not have been born before Muhammad, else she would have been having children well into her 60s, so there is some sort of error here.
In the 20th century, historians tended to try to 'fix' the error my suggesting that the unions took place in the opposite order, that Oneca was first with Abdallah, and only after her father's release from captivity did she leave him and marry Aznar. This frees up the chronology a little, but it is still problematic, particularly with respect to the ages of her father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
Early in the 21st century, an alternative was suggested, that there was confusion with this woman's aunt, also named Oneca and also married to an Aznar. This is Oneca Garces, wife of Aznar Galindez of Aragon. That woman was daughter of king Garcia, and hence paternal aunt of the other Oneca's father. By Aznar Galindez, she had two children, count Galindo, and a daughter Sancha (wife of Muhammad al-Tawil of Huesca). The suggestion is that it was really this Oneca Garces who was mother of Muhammad, and not her niece Oneca Fortunez.
As a consequence, we still have two different people, Oneca Fortunez, wife of Aznar Sanchez, and Oneca Garces, wife of Aznar Galindez, we just can't be sure which of the two was the woman who became mother of Muhammad ibn Abdallah.
There is no convenient way to show such conflicting conclusions in the FamilySearch software, but what not to do is to merge these two clearly-distinct women together when we know they were different, just not which one of the two was Muhammad's mother.
