      ; Per Med Lands:
     "SANCHO (-murdered Dec 966). The Codex de Roda names "Sanzio rex et domna Gilbira Deuo vota" as the children of "domni Ranimiri regis, frater Adefonsi regis et Froila" and his wife Urraca[460]. The Crónica de Sampiro (interpolated, España Sagrada edition) records that “Ranimirus…Rex” and “Tarasia Regina cognomento Florentina” had “Ordonium, Sanctium et Geloiram”[461]. “Ranimirus…rex” donated property to Celanova by charter dated 11 Aug 941, confirmed by “Hurraca regina, Hordonius prolis regis, Santius prolis regis”[462]. "Ranimirus rex" donated property to Sahagún by charter dated 29 Mar 945, subscribed by "Veremudus rex proles Adefonsi principis, Ordonius proles regis, Sancius frater Ordonius proles regis, Osorio Munniz, Assur Fernandiz, Aurelius Baroncelli"[463]. “Ranimirus rex et Urracha regina et prolis eius Ordonius regis” donated "villa...Perales et Volpiare et Villa Rezmiro secundum obtinuit illas Gundisalbo Moniz" to Vega by charter dated 24 Sep 946, confirmed by “...Sanzius filius regis, Gelvira prolis regis et Deo vota...”[464]. "Garsea rex…cum genitrice Tuta regina" donated property to the monastery of San Martín de Albelda by charter dated 22 Nov 947, witnessed by "Santius Ranimiri regis filius…"[465]. The Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records that "frater…eius…Sancius" challenged the succession of King Ordoño III with "avunculo suo…Garsiano rege Pampilonensium, necnon Fredenandus Gundissalui Burgensium comes" and succeeded in expelling his brother from León[466]. Sancho is generally shown in secondary sources as the son of his father's first wife. However, this passage in the Crónica de Sampiro indicates that Sancho was the son of his father's second marriage, as García III King of Navarre would then have been Sancho's maternal uncle. This relationship would also explain the alliance with Fernando González Conde de Castilla, who was married to the sister of King García III, and also why Sancho later sought refuge in Navarre following his expulsion from León. This speculation is assumed to be correct until a further source is identified which names his father's first wife as Sancho's mother. “Hordonius prolis regis, Sancius prolis regis, Rudericus Uelasquiz, Hordonius prolis domni Adefonsi regis” confirmed the charter dated 13 Jun 950 under which Bishop Rosendo agreed territorial boundaries with the inhabitants of Villaza[467]. He succeeded his brother in 956 as SANCHO I “el Craso” King of León. The Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records that "frater eius Santius, Ramiri filius" peacefully succeeded to the throne on the death of King Ordoño III in "era DCCCCXCIII"[468]. Faced with King Sancho's unwillingness to renew his predecessor's peace agreement with the caliph, the latter launched another campaign against León in 957. In 958 Galician nobles dissatisfied with his rule deposed King Sancho in favour of his cousin King Ordoño IV. He sought refuge in Navarre, where he was cured of his obesity by the Jewish doctor Yusuf Hasday ben Sahprut. Allied with García III Sánchez King of Navarre and Caliph Abd al-Rahman III, he took Zamora in 959, forced King Ordoño IV to flee to Asturias and retook the throne in 960[469]. "Sanctius rex" donated property to the monastery of Sahagún by charter dated 26 Apr 960, confirmed by "Tarasia, Gilvira Ranimiri prolis"[470]. After his rival ex-King Ordoño IV convinced Caliph Al-Hakam II to provide military support for his restoration in León, King Sancho sent ambassadors to the caliph and persuaded him to withdraw his support in return for accepting the caliph's suzerainty. After ex-King Ordoño died later in 962, King Sancho reneged on his pact with the caliph and made an alliance with the conde de Castilla, the king of Navarre and the conde de Barcelona[471]. The Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records that "Gundissalvus…dux…ultra flumen Dorii" poisoned Sancho I King of León who was trying to exact tribute[472]. The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "King Ordoño…and King Sancho" as the sons of "King Ramiro", when reporting their reburial in light of the threatened invasion of the kingdom of León and Asturias by Al-Mansur[473]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Sancius” reigned 12 years[474].
     "m (before 26 Apr 960) TERESA Ansúrez, daughter of conde ANSUR Fernández & his wife Gontroda [Núñez] (-after 997). One manuscript of the Crónica de Sampiro records that “Rex Sancius” married “Tarasiam” by whom he had “filium…Ranimirum”[475]. The Historia Silense names "Teresa regina" as mother of King Ramiro III[476]. “Assur Fredinandiz comes et uxor mea Guntroda cum filiis nostris” donated “fontem...Aderata in termino de Sacramenia” to San Pedro de Cardeñas by charter dated 26 Dec 943, witnessed by “Fredinando Assuriz, Obeco Assuriz, Munio Assuriz, Osorio Munnioz...Guttier Assuriz, Gundisalbo Assuriz...”[477]. The version of this charter reproduced by Berganza includes a different subscription list: "Ramirus Rex, Domna Toda, Fernandus Assuriz filius comitis, Oveco Assuriz, Munio Assuriz, Nuno Assuriz, Guter Assuriz, Gonzalo Assuriz, Domna Taresa filia comitis…"[478]. "Alfonsus…Hispaniæ Rex…cum conjuge mea regina Domina Berengaria", by undated charter, confirmed the different territories contributed by "Anrricus et Nunio Ansurez…suo germano Ferdinando Ansurez qui erat comite in Monteson…Gundisalus Ansurez…sua germana Domina Tarasia Regina et Rex Ramiro qui erat in Legione…" towards the foundation of the monastery of Santa María de Husillos dated 17 Sep 950[479]. "Sanctius rex" donated property to the monastery of Sahagún by charter dated 26 Apr 960, confirmed by "Tarasia, Gilvira Ranimiri prolis"[480]. The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Teresa" as the wife of "King Sancho", when reporting their reburial in light of the threatened invasion of the kingdom of León and Asturias by Al-Mansur[481]. “Ranemirus...rex...cum amita et nutrice mea Geloira deodicata...et genitrice Tarasia deouota” donated “de comitatu de Mera III, de Nallare IV...et Parriga media et IV de comitato Nemitos” to Sobrado by charter dated 17 Sep 968[482]. “Ranemirus rex...cum genitrice mea Tarasia regina et Christi ancilla” confirmed the donation of “Parriga media...Mera media, quarta in Nallare, quarta in Nemitos, media Marzola, Vendurio medio” to Sobrado by charter dated 18 Jul 978[483]. After her son's defeat, she took refuge in Oviedo where she arranged her grandson's marriage with the son of Queen Velasquita, also exiled in Oviedo[484]."

     Teresa (?) of Leon was born circa 927. She married Garcia I/III Sanchez (?) King of Navarre, son of Sancho I Garces (?) King of Navarre and Toda Aznarez de Larron, before 943
; his 2nd wife.^3,1,2
      ; Per Farmerie:
     "The second wife of Garcia Sanchez I of Navarre has represented a gap in our knowledge of the Pamplona royal family. Initial attempts at reconstruction made a botch of it, combining her with her predecessor into a single chimeric queen, Teresa Andregota. With more in-depth study, this confusion was resolved. Garcia married first Andregota, daughter of Galindo Aznar II, Count of Aragon. It should be noted that she was not 'heiress', and Garcia did not become count of Aragon via his marriage. Rather, Aragon was absorbed into the Pamplona entity when Galindo died in 922, while Sancho Garces I was still ruling - this, in part, led to the erroneous older pedigrees that made Toda, wife of Sancho into a sister of Galindo Aznar, and heiress of Aragon, when she was actually derived from the earlier Iniguez kings of Pamplona. Up until this point, Aragon had been only nominally a feudal dependent of Pamplona, but now it was regranted to Galindo's illegitimate son Guntoslo Galindez as the first of several subservient non-hereditary counts. On Sancho's death in 925, his brother Jimeno ruled, and only subsequently, about 930, does Garcia first appear as king. It was probably about that time that Garcia married Andregota.
     "This first marriage did not last long, ending in divorce. This is deduced, as Garcia appears later with a second wife, while Andregota appears in documents of her son following Garcia's death. The two were half-first-cousins, being grandchildren of Garcia Jimenez. However, this kinship could only have been a pretext, as their own son Sancho would marry his full first-cousin, and such marriages were not uncommon elsewhere on the peninsula at this time. Whether the divorce was, like that of Ordono II, "because she was not pleasing to him" or simply one of political experience, there is no evidence to say, although the latter seems more likely.
     "Garcia then appears with a wife Teresa. Her origin has been subject to speculation. When first sorted out from Andregota, she was assigned two children Urraca and Ramiro, late 'king' of Viguera. It was further speculated that Teresa tried to get Garcia's son Sancho disinherited and her son Ramiro put in his place as heir, but that Garcia compromised by creating a novel kingdom for her son. (None of this is supported by contemporary evidence, it simply being known that Ramiro was, during his brother's life, called king, and held significant lands at Viguera.) As to the origin of Teresa, this has been subject to speculation. Her name is not one common to the Pamplona area, but had appeared in Leon. Likewise the name Ramiro given to her son further suggests a connection to Leon, whose king Ramiro II had been ally of Garcia. This has led to the hypothesis that Teresa was daughter of Ramiro II. In spite of years of speculation, there has been no support for this other than the names. That, apparently, has been resolved. The recently published vol. 7, pt. 2 of the Menendez Pidal Historia de Espana series includes an indication that within the extensive (and, unfortunately, unavailable in western languages) Al Muqtabis of ibn Hayyan there is the statement that Garcia was son-in-law of Ramiro. This, then, is clear evidence that the speculation based on onomastics proves correct, and that Teresa was daughter of that king. As to her maternity, given that Ramiro's second wife was Garcia's sister, it is probably safe to conclude that Teresa was daughter of his first wife, Adosinda Gutierrez.
     "What are the genealogical implications? This would present a novel descent from the Kings of Leon, somewhat uncommon, as the kings of Leon tended not to marry (or even notice) their daughters. From Alfonso III to Alfonso V, over six generations and 11 kings, there are only four known sons-in-law. A daughter of the obscure Fruela II is thought to have married a local lord, Teresa married Garcia, Cristina Vermudez married her cousin and co-royal infante, Ordono Ramirez, and Sancha Alfonso married Fernando I, eventually taking the kingdom with her (it is not fully appreciated what a big deal the proposed marriage of Garcia Sanchez of Castile to a royal princess really was). [A marriage has also been assigned to Jimena Alfonso, Sancha's half- sister, but this marriage was invented by Menendez Pidal in order to explain the kinship of Jimena Diaz, wife of el Cid, with Alfonso VI, and has no historical basis.] Teresa was clearly mother of Ramiro. he had two sons, Sancho and Garcia Ramirez. Neither of these had sons, but both had daughters. Sancho's daughter married Fortun of Najera, but this descent is lost amid a group of men of the same name. Garcia had two daughters, one of whom simply disappears, the other being disgraced by incest with her brother (presumably an otherwise unknown bastard son of Garcia or else a maternal half-brother).
     "Teresa can be presumed to be mother of Jimeno, a younger son of Garcia Sanchez, but he only appears in a couple of documents, with no known spouse or family. Finally, Teresa is assigned as mother of Urraca, Garcia's daughter. She married first, Fernan Gonzalez, Count of Castile and traditional pedigrees have invented bogus children, such as the Pedro said to be ancestor of Salvadorez and Lara, but probably was childless by him, and his death followed the marriage rather quickly. Urraca then married William Sancho of Gascony, having sons Bernard and Sancho William, and daughter Prisca, wife of William V of Aquitaine, whose son Eudes eventually inherited Gascony. There are claims of both female-line descent from Prisca, and illegitimate descent from Sancho William, but neither seem credible. That being said, Salazar y Acha has recently split Urraca into two. That she was daughter of Teresa is forced by her apparent survival to 1041, but Salazar has suggested that there were two Urraca's: the daughter of Garcia Sanchez being older, born to Andregota and married to William Sancho, then a second Urraca, derived from the Counts of Castile, married to Sancho WIlliam and being the woman who lived to 1041. Were this the case, then any descent from Urraca, daughter of Garcia Sanchez would not entail descent from Teresa. (It should be said that the reconstructions regarding Gascony are a mess, and I am not in a position to clarify them). The take-home message is that if there are descents, they are obscure and perhaps unknowable.
     "Still, at least now we can definitively identify Teresa, Queen of Navarre, and second wife of Garcia Sanchez I as daughter of Ramiro II of Leon."²
