     "VERMUDO de León, [illegitimate] son of ORDOÑO III King of León & [his wife Urraca Fernández de Castilla] or [his mistress --- Peláez] ([953]-El Bierzo Sep 999, bur Villabuena, later transferred to León[548]). An interpolation in the Crónica de Sampiro records that “Rex Ordonius” abandoned (“reliquit”) his wife “Urracam filiam...comitis Fredinandi” and married “aliam…uxorem…Geloiram” by whom he had “Veremundum Regem, qui podagricus [“with gout”] fuit”[549]. His paternal ancestry is confirmed by the charter dated 26 Nov 990 under which King Vermudo confirmed donations to the monastery of Carracedo, including the donations made “villam Sellina...patris mei domini Ordoni” and by “avus nostri donus Ranemirus...ad monasterium sanctæ Mariæ de Taulo”[550]. The question of his mother´s identity is discussed above under the possible mistress of his father King Ordoño. “…Veremudus…princeps, prolis Ordonii regis…” confirmed the charter dated 1 Jan 968 under which “Giluira…prolis…regis…cum suprino meo…principe domno Ranemiro, soboli…Sanctionis” donated property to Celanova[551]. This charter indicates that, at that date, Vermudo was a fully integrated member of the royal family despite his possible illegitimacy, and may have been considered as next in line to the throne. He succeeded in 985 as VERMUDO II "el Gotoso" King of León. The Chronicon Regum Legionensium records that "Vermudo the son of Ordoño" succeeded as king after the death of King Ramiro III[552]. The Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records that "Veremudus Ordinii filius" returned to León after the death of King Ramiro III and succeeded "pacifice", adding that he was “vir satis prudens” and introduced laws “a Vambano principe”[553]. King Vermudo is described as "foolish and a tyrant in everything he did" in the Chronicon Regum Legionensium[554], which contrasts with the more sympathetic picture of the king in the Historia Silense[555]. He allied himself with García Fernández Conde de Castilla, whose daughter he married, but Muslim advances under al-Mansur continued. García Gómez Conde de Saldaña rebelled against him in 988. Gonzalo Vermúdez rebelled in 989 and in 993 succeeded in temporarily expelling King Vermudo from León. In 995, al-Mansur attacked León and destroyed Santa María de Carrión. King Vermudo sought refuge in Astorga, from where he was obliged to offer annual tribute[556]. In 997, King Vermudo took advantage of al-Mansur's absence campaigning in North Africa to suspend payment of the tribute, but León was subjected to devastating campaigns of revenge by Muslim forces which established a garrison at Zamora[557]. King Vermudo II donated property “ad Septentrione plaga, per latus, montis Villara...”, defined in relation to “termino de Papelli...Bacarii, quam inter uxor meus Froylani Regis filius...ad fratrem Recaredus anacoreta...testauit amica nostra domina Teresia...quod fuit de amica nostra regina domina Geluira a diue memorie”, to the monastery of San Vicente de Pombeiro by charter dated 29 Jun 997, confirmed by “Ordonius filius Regis, Adefonsus Parbulus filius Regis...Geluira Regina...Froyla Gumsalbiz, Bestario Bimarace, Teresia Deo dicata, Froyla Menendici, Arias Fernandici...”[558]. The Crónica de Sampiro, as reproduced in the Historia Silense, records that King Vermudo died "secundo anno post azeifam terra Bericensi proprio morbo" after reigning for seventeen years[559]. The Chronicon Regum Legionensium records that King Vermudo was struck down with gout and "was carried from place to place on the shoulders of humble men", and died "in the Bierzo and was buried in Villabuena, and after several years he was translated to León", after reigning for seventeen years, a later passage recording that he died "in the era 1037 (999)"[560]. The Chronicon del Salterio, dated to 1055, records the death "V f[eri]a M stbr era TXXXVII" of "dmi Veremudi regis"[561]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Veremudi, Ordonii filius” reigned 17 years[562].
     "m firstly (before 11 Oct 981, repudiated after 24 Dec 988) VELASQUITA ---, daughter of --- (-after 15 Aug 1028). "Veremudus prolix Ord. Rex, Velasquita uxor ipsius" are named in a charter of Samos dated 11 Oct 981[563]. “Velasquida regina” confirmed a charter dated 29 Sep 985 under which King Vermudo II donated property to Celanova[564]. “Velasquita regina” confirmed a charter dated 24 Dec 988 under which King Vermudo II donated property to Celanova[565]. The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Velasquita" as the first legitimate wife of King Vermudo, specifying that he "divorced while she was living"[566]. Her parentage is not known, nor has any source been identified which specifies her patronymic. The problem has been discussed in detail by García Álvarez[567]. Various hypotheses have been proposed:
     "According to Sandoval, Velasquita was the daughter of Ordoño IV “el Malo” King of León by his wife Urraca Fernández de Castilla, but he cites no primary source on which he bases this statement[568]. The hypothesis is repeated by Salazar y Castro, also without citing any primary source[569]. If it is correct, King Vermudo must have been born illegitimate as his father would have been the first husband of the same Urraca Fernández.
     "Flórez suggests that Velasquita was the daughter of García Fernández Conde de Castilla: he quotes a charter dated 1006 in which Velasquita donated property to Oviedo Cathedral, naming "suprino et privigno meo Regi Adefonso" [Alfonso V King of León, son of King Vermudo´s second marriage], and suggests that the only way of explaining “suprino” is if Velasquita was the sister of Vermudo´s second wife[570]. However, it is uncertain that “suprino” can be interpreted in all cases in the strict sense of nephew. An example of a wider interpretation of the words which normally indicate specific family relationships is provided by the charter dated 6 Aug 1031 under which King Vermudo III names "tia mea Urraca regina Garseani regis filia"[571], which clearly refers to his stepmother. In addition, the charter dated 4 Oct 1032, under which King Vermudo III exchanged “villa Lapeto qui fuit de abia mea regina domna Velasquita” with “comes Pelagio Froilaz et uxor vestra comitissa Ildontia Ordoniz”[572], indicates, if read literally, that Velasquita was the mother of King Alfonso V, which the unfavorable chronology suggests is incorrect and is also contradicted by the Chronicon Regum Legionensium which names "Alfonso and Teresa" as the children of King Vermudo and his wife Elvira. García Álvarez also suggests that “suprino” in the 1006 charter could indicate a relationship in the second or third degree[573].
     "According to Risco, Velasquita was the daughter of Ramiro II King of León: he quotes an epitaph in León Cathedral which records “Velasquita regina prolis Ranimiri”. He assumes that “Ranimiri” indicates one of the kings of León, concludes that King Ramiro II is the only possibility (bearing in mind the chronological impossibility of the text referring to Ramiro III), and assumes that King Vermudo must therefore have been separated from his first wife for reasons of consanguinity[574]. García Álvarez considers that the total absence of references in the sources to this suggested parentage would be inexplicable if the hypothesis was correct, and also points out the chronological difficulty because King Ramiro II died in 951[575] (and in addition married secondly in [932/34]). The hypothesis also appears unlikely as it would mean that King Vermudo married his own great-aunt.
     "The editor of the Libro Registro de Corias proposed that Velasquita was the daughter of King Ramiro III[576]. García Álvarez quotes an undated charter of Corias under which “Dompna Cara” donated “uillam de Azeliana” to “Ordonio Radimiriz, fratri regine domne Velasquide, et filio regis Radimiriz”[577]. He notes that Sánchez Candeira demonstrated convincingly the impossibility that Velasquita was the sister of Ordoño Ramírez, and in addition cites another charter of Corias dated 1084, under which the same donor donated other property, which throws extreme doubt on the authenticity of the earlier charter[578]. Whatever the other merits of the argument, it is chronologically impossible considering that the birth of King Ramiro III is dated to [961].
     "García Álvarez, on the basis that Velasquita´s father was named Ramiro as indicated by the León Cathedral epitaph quoted above, suggests that she was the daughter of Ramiro Menéndez[579]. If that hypothesis is correct, she was Velasquita Ramírez, daughter of conde Ramiro Menéndez & his wife Adosinda Gutiérrez. This parentage is also suggested because she is cited with her supposed mother in [981/88][580]. However, the indications adduced by García Álvarez appear circumstancial. The other difficulty is why Vermudo would have married the daughter of a relatively obscure Galician nobleman, who was the third son of his parents.
     "Torres records that, after her repudiation, Velasquita took refuge in Oviedo where she arranged her daughter's marriage with the son of Queen Sancha Gómez, who was also exiled in Oviedo[581]. Queen Velasquita granted “la villa de Eiras” to “Félix Agelaz” by charter dated 15 Aug 1028[582].
     "m secondly (991) ELVIRA García de Castilla, daughter of GARCÍA Fernández Conde de Castilla & his wife Ava de Ribagorza (-Dec 1017). The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Elvira" as the second legitimate wife of King Vermudo[583]. Her parentage is confirmed by Ibn-Khaldun who records King Alfonso V as "petit-fils par sa mère du seigneur d´Alava Garcia Fernandez"[584]. Regent of León 999-1007 during the minority of her son Alfonso V. "Geluira Regina…cum filio meo Adefonso Rex" donated property "ad villam de Paramo" to the church of León by charter dated 12 Nov 1000 which she signed "Gelvira Regina prolis Garseani et Avæ"[585].

As noted below, there is confusion in this source between Queen Velasquita, King Vermudo´s first wife and mother of his daughter Cristina, and this possible mistress. It is possible that this “country girl...Velasquita” never existed and that she was invented in order to blacken the name of the repudiated queen. If this is correct, the origin of the name “Mantello” is not known.]"

Según el obispo Pelayo, Tarasiam post mortem patris sui dedit Adefonsus in coniugio, ipsa nolente, cuidam pagano regi toletano pro pace.15? Ibn Jaldún observó que «en 993 Bermudo envió a su hija para Almanzor quien la hizo su esclava y después la emancipó y se casó con ella.»14? Así, de acuerdo con estos autores, Teresa fue entregada por su padre o por su hermano Alfonso a Almanzor y, después de ser liberada tras la muerte de este, regresó al reino de León16? donde profesó como religiosa en el monasterio de San Pelayo de Oviedo en el que fue sepultada a su muerte17? según consta en su epitafio que reza: Hic dilecta Deo recubans Tarasia Christo dicata proles Beremundi regis et Geloire reginae uel si obiit sub die vii kalendas magii feria IIII hora mediae noctis, era MLXXVII.18?

Regent for Caliph Hisham II, he took the title "al-Mansur/the Victorious" in 981.

He was effective ruler until his death in 1002, eclipsing the Caliph. He was able to eliminate his rivals, including Ghalib bin Abd-al-Rahman who had allied himself with García Fernández Conde de Castilla, whom he defeated at Atienza Jul 981. He built a new palace in the east of Córdoba called Madinat al-Zahira, to which all government administration was transferred, leaving the Caliph isolated in his own palace. He led many successful campaigns against the Christians, including the sack of Barcelona 985 and of Santiago de Compostela 997, after which the bells of the cathedral were carried south to Córdoba by prisoners of war. The Chronicon Burgense records the death in 1002 of “Almanzor” and his burial “in inferno”[269]. The Historia Arabum records the death A.H. 393 of "Almanzoris" after leading the country for 26 years[270].
     "[m] (a) ---.
     "[m] (b) ---, daughter of [SANCHO & his wife ---]. The name of the maternal grandfather of Abd al-Rahman "Sanchuelo", son of al-Mansur, is assumed to have been Sancho because of the nickname which his grandson is given in Arab primary sources. Dozy suggests that he was either Sancho García Conde de Castilla or Sancho II García King of Navarre, on the assumption that only the daughter of one of the most prominent Christian leaders of the time would have been considered as a suitable bride for such a prominent person as al-Mansur[271]. He quotes a passage from Ibn-al-Khatib which records that "le chef des Roum offrit sa fille" to al-Mansur and that she became his favourite wife, suggesting that it refers to the mother of Sanchuelo[272]. Dozy highlights no primary sources which identifies "Sancho" more precisely, and indeed the way he writes suggests that no such source exists. "Le chef des Roum" suggests Sancho King of Navarre rather than Sancho Conde de Castilla, but this is not beyond doubt. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Sanchuelo´s mother was Abda de Navarra "la Vascona", illegitimate daughter of Sancho II García Abarca King of Navarre & his mistress ---. The basis for this speculation is not known but it may be no more than guesswork assuming that it is correct that Dozy ignored no available primary source. The primary source which confirms the name "Abda" has not yet been identified either. Presumably it has been assumed that Sanchuelo´s mother must have been illegitimate if she was married to a Muslim prince, but this conclusion is not consistent with the parentage of other Navarrese princesses who married Muslim leaders.

"Pelagius prolix regis Beremuti…" subscribed a charter dated 998 under which "Beremutus…Princeps…cum coniuge mea Geloira regina" donated the monastery of St Cosmas and St Damian at Nestoso to the bishop of Asturias[611]. The dating of this charter suggests that Pelayo cannot have been from his father´s second marriage. It is unlikely that he was born from his father´s first marriage as there is no record of his having claimed the throne after his father died. Pelayo must therefore have been illegitimate, presumably born in [970/80]. Ibn-Khaldun records that King Vermudo sent "son fils Pélage" to "Man ibn Abdalaziz le gouverneur de la Galice" and that together they went to Córdoba where they agreed peace before Pelayo returned to his father (the event therefore being dated to before 999)[612]. “...Pelagius proles Beremundi regis...” subscribed the charter dated 5 Jan 999 under which King Vermudo II donated property to the monastery of San Lorenzo de Carbonario, for the souls of “abii mei divæ memoriæ comes dominus Gundisalbus...et...uxori...coniuncta comitissa domina Tarasia”[613].
