    Note: Elvira García of Castile Born c. 978 Died 1017 Spouse Bermudo II of León Father García Fernández of Castile Mother Ava of Ribagorza Elvira García (c. 978–1017), was Queen consort of Leon by marriage to King Bermudo II, and co-regent of Leon jointly with Count Menendo González during the minority of her son Alfonso V from 999 until 1008. Although the year of her birth is not documented, she must have been born shortly before or after 978 since she does not appear with her older sisters, Urraca and Toda, in the foundational charter of the Infantado of Covarrubias in November 24 of that year.[1] Her husband, Bermudo II of León was her first cousin,[2] if Bermudo's debated filiation as the son of Queen Urraca Fernández is correct.[a] The marriage was celebrated near the end of November 991[3] and both appear together confirming royal charters as of 992. The marriage, which took place after Bermudo repudiated his first wife, Velasquita Ramírez between 988 and 991, sealed an alliance between the Kingdom of León and the County of Castile which significantly strengthened the Leonese crown.[2] Elvira's presence is recorded for the last time on August 18, 1017 with her son making a donation to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.[8] She was buried at the Pantheon of the Kings at the Basilica of San Isidoro in León.[9] Elvira and Bermudo II had three children: Alfonso V of León; Sancha Bermúdez, who lived in Galicia;[10] Teresa Bermúdez (died on April 25, 1039).[10] Bibliography ~ Arco y Garay, Ricardo del (1954).
