  García Fernández, called of the White Hands (Spanish: Él de las Manos Blancas) (Burgos, c.?938-Córdoba, 995), was the count of Castile and Alava from 970 to 995. In May 995, he was captured by a raiding party while out hunting. Wounded in the encounter, he was sent to Cordoba as a trophy, but died at Medinaceli in June 995.
  
  Family
  The son of Count Fernán González and Queen Sancha Sánchez of Pamplona, in 970 he succeeded his father as Count of Castile. He continued to recognise the suzerainty of the Kingdom of León, even though he was practically autonomous. In order to expand his frontiers at the expense of the Moors, in 974 he expanded the social base of the nobility by promulgating decrees stating that any villein of Castrojeriz who equipped a knight for battle would enter the ranks of the nobility. He was succeeded by his son, Sancho I of Castile.
  
  Marriage and issue
  Around 960, Garcia married Ava de Ribagorza, daughter of Raymond II, count of Ribagorza. They had seven children:
  
  1.) Mayor García, married to Raymond III, count of Pallars Jussà. Repudiated by her husband, she returned to Castile where she was the abbess of the Monastery of San Miguel de Pedroso. With the help of her brother Sancho, she governed the County of Ribagorza which would eventually pass to her niece, Muniadona of Castile, the wife of King Sancho III of Pamplona.
  
  2.) Sancho García, count of Castile.
  
  3.) Urraca García, the first abbess of the Colegiata de San Cosme y San Damián in Covarrubias.
  
  4.) Gonzalo García (died 979), speculated to have been ancestor of the Salvadórez and the House of Lara
  
  5.) Elvira García, married in 991 to Bermudo II of León
  
  6.) Toda García, married Sancho Gómez, son of Count Gómez Díaz of Saldaña
  
  7.) Oneca García, the first abbess of the Monastery of San Juan in Cillaperlata and later abess at the Monastery of Monastery of San Salvador de Oña.

Actualmente, está considerado como BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural). Fue declarado Monumento histórico-artístico perteneciente al Tesoro Artístico Nacional mediante decreto de 3 de junio de 1931.1​ En 2015, en la aprobación por la Unesco de la ampliación del Camino de Santiago en España a «Caminos de Santiago de Compostela: Camino francés y Caminos del Norte de España», España envió como documentación un «Inventario Retrospectivo - Elementos Asociados» (Retrospective Inventory - Associated Components) en el que en el n.º 979 figura el monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña.2​ El monasterio se habrá fundado antes de 902 cuando el conde de Lantarón y de Cerezo, Gonzalo Téllez y su esposa Flámula realizaron la primera donación documentada al cenobio el 24 de septiembre de ese año de una serna en Pedernales y unas eras de sal.3​ Santos mártires[editar] En los siglos IX o X sus monjes fueron martirizados por los musulmanes, canonizados en 1603 y conocidos como los «Mártires de Cardeña». El monasterio gozaba de gran popularidad con gran afluencia de devotos, entre los que se encontraban el rey Felipe III de España y su esposa la reina Doña Margarita de Austria. Una de sus preciadas reliquias, la cabeza de su abad San Esteban, fue trasladada al Monasterio de Celanova; también se encuentran dos urnas en el Monasterio de la Huelgas y otra en la Catedral de Burgos. Cada año, el 6 de agosto, aniversario del martirio, la tierra del claustro donde fueron sepultados los mártires, se teñía de un color rojizo que parecía sangre. El milagroso prodigio, ampliamente testificado, se repite hasta finales del siglo XIV. El año 1674 ya una vez levantado el nuevo claustro de estilo herreriano se reprodujo el hecho, personándose el arzobispo Enrique de Peralta, que vivamente impresionado encargó un estudio, interviniendo médicos y teólogos. Recogió el líquido, coaguló al ser puesto en agua hirviendo.[cita requerida] Durante la Guerra Civil Española se convirtió en un campo de concentración franquista para prisioneros de guerra republicanos, fundamentalmente de las Brigadas Internacionales.4​ Albergó a más de 4.000 prisioneros, cerrando sus puertas en noviembre de 1939.5​ También fueron encarcelados allí soldados y capellanes vascos del Euzko Gudarostea apresados en Santoña.6​ El 1 de febrero de 1967 un violento incendio destruyó las tres cuartas partes del monasterio, habitado desde 1942 por la abadía trapense de Nuestra Señora de los Mártires.7​ .... Iglesia[editar] Para construir esta iglesia de tres naves se destruyó la románica, aunque afortunadamente se salvó la torre, legítimo recuerdo cidiano. Reedificada en el siglo XVI, consta de tres naves, con una capilla aneja, denominada capilla de El Cid, ya que allí fue enterrado, y permaneció antes de su traslado a la catedral de Burgos. La fachada de la iglesia es de estilo barroco. Panteón real[editar] En el lateral derecho de la iglesia gótica, se abre una capilla barroca que data de 1753 a la que fueron trasladados los restos del Cid Campeador y su esposa Jimena. En las paredes de esta estancia llamada «Capilla de los Héroes», hay 29 nichos con inscripciones de nombres de reyes y familiares del Cid. Conocido popularmente como «El Escorial burgalés»9​ fue reedificado por el conde de Castilla García Fernández el de las Manos Blancas, que allí recibió sepultura. Según la tradición, continúan allí los restos de los Jueces de Castilla (aunque históricamente no existieron); los hijos de Jimena Díaz y El Cid María Rodríguez, Cristina y Diego, muerto a temprana edad en Consuegra (Toledo); Ramiro Sánchez de Pamplona, señor de Monzón (marido de Cristina Rodríguez, hija de El Cid) o Ramiro de León, hijo de Alfonso I el Magno de Asturias....

   Note: GARCÍA Fernández de Castilla, son of FERNANDO González Conde de Castilla & his first wife Sancha Sánchez de Navarra (-[Córdoba] 1 Aug or [29/30] Dec 995, bur Tres Santos, Córdoba, later moved to San Pedro de Cardeñas). “Comes Fredinandus Gundisalviz cum uxore mea Sanzia comitissa et cum filiis meis Gundisalvus Fredinandi et Garsea Fredinandi et Sancio Fredinandi et Munio Fredinandi et domna Fronilde” donated the monastery of San Miguel de Javilla to San Pedro de Cardeñas by charter dated 941[292]. "Fredinando comes…cum uxore mea…Sancia cometissa" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 944, confirmed by "…Gundissalvo Fernandez, Sancio Fernandez, Garcia Fernandez…"[293]. He succeeded his father in 970 as Conde de Castilla. He inherited a county considerably weakened by Muslim attacks during the last years of his father's rule, and on his accession accepted the suzerainty of Caliph al-Hakam II. A charter dated 7 Sep 972 records the exchange of Covarrubias between the abbot of Infantado de Covarrubias and "domno Garsea comite sive domna Ava cometissa et filiis adque filiabus vestris"[294]. In 974, Conde García captured Deza. "Garssia Ferdinandi…comes et imperator Castelle…cum uxore mea Abba comitisse" granted fuero to Castrojeriz by charter dated 8 Mar 974, subscribed by "Sanctio filio nostra, Urraca filia nostra…"[295]. His success was short-lived as he unsuccessfully besieged Gormaz in Apr 975 and was defeated at Langa on the banks of the River Duero[296]. Conde García allied himself with Ghalib bin Abd al-Rahman, who had been Caliph al-Hakam II's trusted general, and opposed the rise to power of Muhammad bin Abi Amir "al-Mansur/the Victorious" after the accession of al-Hakam's son Caliph Hisham in 976. However, al-Mansur led several successful campaigns against Castile which was further weakened during the last years of the rule of Conde García, whose son eventually rebelled against him[297]. "Garsias Ferdinandez…cum coniuge mea Ava comitisa" founded the monastery of Infantado de Covarrubias, offering "filiam…nostram Urracam" as a nun there, by charter dated 25 Dec 978, confirmed by "Sancio Garsea, Gundisalbo Garsea…Sancio rex, Urraka regina, rege Scemeno, Fortuni Garsea, Didago Aznariz, Tellu Gundisalbiz, Sancio Ennegonis, Tota comitissa, Fronilde comitissa…"[298]. The Annales Complutense record that “Sancius Garsia” rebelled against “patrem suum comitem Garsia Fernandez” in 990[299]. "Garcia…comes" confirmed a donation to the monastery of San Miguel de Pedroso by charter dated 979, confirmed by "…Gundessalvo Fredinandez, Gundissalvo Arderiz…Hani Godestioz, Didaco Fredinandez, Alvaro Sarrazinez, Didaco Scemenoz, Gotier Gomiz"[300]. The Chronicon Burgense records that “comes Garsea Ferdinandi” was captured and wounded “VIII Kal Jan” in 995 “in ripa de Dorio”, died five days later while being taken to Córdoba, and was buried “ad Caradignam”[301]. The Annales Complutense record the death “Kal Aug” in 995 of “Conde Garci Fernandez” after being captured by the Moors[302]. m ([958/61]) AVA de Ribagorza, daughter of RAIMUNDO [II] Conde de Ribagorza & his wife Gersende de Fezensac (-after 995, bur San Pedro de Cardeña). The Codex de Roda names "Regemundo ac domno Galindo seu domna Aba" as the children of "Uernardus" and his wife[303]. The end 13th century “Crònica d´Alaó Renovada” records that “Ova filia Regimundi” married “comitis Sanctii de Castella” (error for García)[304]. "Garcia comes" and his wife "Ava" donated property to the monastery of Arlanza by charter dated 12 Jul 970[305]. "Garsea Ferrandiz comite…cum coniuge mea Ava comitissa" donated property to the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeñas by charter dated 26 Apr 971[306]. A charter dated 7 Sep 972 records the exchange of Covarrubias between the abbot of Infantado de Covarrubias and "domno Garsea comite sive domna Ava cometissa et filiis adque filiabus vestris"[307]. "Garssia Ferdinandi…comes et imperator Castelle…cum uxore mea Abba comitisse" granted fuero to Castrojeriz by charter dated 8 Mar 974, subscribed by "Sanctio filio nostra, Urraca filia nostra…"[308]. "Garsias Ferdinandez…cum coniuge mea Ava comitisa" founded the monastery of Infantado de Covarrubias, offering "filiam…nostram Urracam" as a nun there, by charter dated 25 Dec 978[309]. According to popular legend, she fomented revolt against her husband and even offered her hand in marriage to a Muslim in exchange for killing Count García, but the historical accuracy of this is doubtful[310]. Conde García & his wife had [seven] children: 1. [MAYOR (-after [early 1035]). 2. SANCHO García ([965]-5 Feb 1017, bur San Salvador de Oña). 3. URRACA García (-after 1 Jan 1038). 4.

    Note: García Fernández of Castile García Fernandez-Medallon-Plaza Mayor (Salamanca).jpg García Fernández of Castile Born c. 938 Burgos Died 995 Medinaceli Noble family Beni Mamaduna Spouse(s) Ava de Ribagorza Father Fernán González of Castile Mother Sancha Sánchez of Pamplona García Fernández, called of the White Hands (Spanish: Él de las Manos Blancas) (Burgos, c. 938 – Córdoba, 995), was the count of Castile and Alava from 970 to 995. In May 995, he was captured by a raiding party while out hunting.[1] Wounded in the encounter, he was sent to Cordoba as a trophy, but died at Medinaceli in June 995.[1] Family The son of Count Fernán González and Queen Sancha Sánchez of Pamplona, in 970 he succeeded his father as Count of Castile. He continued to recognise the suzerainty of the Kingdom of León, even though he was practically autonomous. In order to expand his frontiers at the expense of the Moors, in 974 he expanded the social base of the nobility by promulgating decrees stating that any villein of Castrojeriz who equipped a knight for battle would enter the ranks of the nobility. He was succeeded by his son, Sancho I of Castile. Marriage and issue[edit] Around 960, Garcia married Ava de Ribagorza,[2] daughter of Raymond II, count of Ribagorza. They had seven children: Mayor García, married to Raymond III, count of Pallars Jussà. Repudiated by her husband, she returned to Castile where she was the abbess of the Monastery of San Miguel de Pedroso. With the help of her brother Sancho, she governed the County of Ribagorza which would eventually pass to her niece, Muniadona of Castile, the wife of King Sancho III of Pamplona.[3] Sancho García, count of Castile.[4] Urraca García, the first abbess of the Colegiata de San Cosme y San Damián in Covarrubias.[5] Gonzalo García (died 979),[5][6] speculated to have been ancestor of the Salvadórez and the House of Lara Elvira García, married in 991 to Bermudo II of León[7][2] Toda García, married Sancho Gómez, son of Count Gómez Díaz of Saldaña[8] Oneca García, the first abbess of the Monastery of San Juan in Cillaperlata and later abess at the Monastery of Monastery of San Salvador de Oña.[3] In legend[edit] García plays a role in two legends regarding medieval Castile. These are set during his rule and incorporate aspects of authentic history, but are mostly fictional in nature. In the Cantar de los Siete Infantes de Lara, Count García plays a minor role, trying unsuccessfully to impose a rapprochement between the two antagonistic families, those of Ruy Velázquez and his wife Doña Lambra, said to be a cousin of García, and Gonzalo Gustoz and his wife Sancha. This proves unsuccessful when a further provocation leads to cycles of escalating retribution.[9] His role in a second legend is more substantial. La condesa traidora (The treasonous countess), tells of the wife of García was enticed by Almanzor, ruler of Córdoba, to aspire to become his wife rather than that of a less powerful count. She plots up her husband's death, by providing his horse poor feed. When the animal collapses in battle, García is severely injured, and dies days later. After Almanzor forces her son, count Sancho García, to flee to Lantarón, his mother plots his death as well. She has a poisoned draught prepared-for him, but Sancho is forewarned and insists that his mother drink it instead. She does so and dies, and Sancho then defeats Almanzor in battle.[10]
