List Of Asturian Monarchs
This is a list of the rulers of the Kingdom of Asturias, a kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula during the Early Middle Ages. It originated as a refuge for Visigothic nobles following the conquest of Iberia by the Umayyad Caliphate. Following the forced abdication of Alfonso III by his sons in 910, the kingdom was split into three: Asturias, León, and Galicia. All three were reunited in 924 under the Kingdom of León. For later kings, see the list of Leonese monarchs and the list of Galician monarchs. From 1388, the title Prince of Asturias has been used for the heirs to the Castillian and Spanish thrones.

Kingdom Of Asturias
The Kingdom of Asturias was a kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula founded by the nobleman Pelagius who traditionally has been described as being of Visigothic stock. Modern research is leaning towards the view that Pelagius was of Hispano-Roman origins. The Kingdom of Asturias was the first Christian political entity to be established in the Iberian Peninsula after the Umayyad conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711-718. In the Summer of 722,Amy G. Remensnyder, ''La Conquistadora: The Virgin Mary at War and Peace in the Old and New Worlds'', (Oxford University Press, 2014), 23. Pelagius defeated an Umayyad army at the Battle of Covadonga, in what is retroactively regarded as the beginning of the Christian ''Reconquista''. The Asturian kings would occasionally make peace with the Muslims, particularly at times when they needed to pursue their other enemies, mainly rebel Basques and Galicians. Thus Fruela I (757–768) fought Muslims but also defeated the Basques and Galicians, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Adosinda
Adosinda was the queen of Asturias during the reign of her husband, Silo, from 774 to 783. She was a daughter of Alfonso I and Ermesinda, daughter of the first Asturian king, Pelayo. She was a sister of Fruela I. Her husband probably succeeded in becoming King because he was related by marriage to both of the previous ruling families. Some scholars have even posited a matrilineal succession. Since she gave Silo no heir, her nephew Alfonso II was proclaimed king upon Silo's death. Alfonso II was expelled from the realm by Mauregatus, who was an illegitimate son of Alfonso I and thus Adosinda's half-brother. On 26 November 783, Adosinda was put in the monastery of San Juan de Pravia, where she lived out the rest of her life. Biography Adosinda was a daughter of King Alfonso I of Asturias (the Catholic) and Queen Ermesinda. Her paternal grandfather was Pedro de Cantabria and her maternal grandparents were King Pelagius (Don Pelayo in Spanish) and Queen Gaudiosa. Adosinda's ...

Silo Of Asturias
Silo (died 783) was the king of Asturias from 774 to 783, succeeding Aurelius. He came to the throne upon his marriage to Adosinda, daughter of Alfonso I ("Alfonso the Catholic"). He moved the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias from Cangas de Onís to Pravia, closer to the center of the kingdom. He was a contemporary of Abd al-Rahman I, Umayyad Emir of Córdoba, and of Charlemagne. Life Accession to the throne In Silo's time, monarchs were apparently elected by the nobility as in the earlier Visigothic Kingdom. Monarchs were chosen from among a small number of dynasties. Preference tended to go to the son of a king or, where that was not possible, to the husband of a king's daughter, as had happened in the case of Alfonso and of Silo himself, or, failing that, to another male of royal lineage thought capable of governing. Nevertheless, there is academic controversy about the mode of succession: election after the Visigothic style, matrilineal succession according to indigen ...

Aurelius Of Asturias
Aurelius () ( 740 – 774) was the King of Asturias from 768 to his death. Born in León, he was the son of Fruela of Cantabria (son of Peter of Cantabria); nephew of Alfonso I of Asturias; and a cousin of his predecessor, Fruela I. His brother, Bermudo I, later reigned as king from 789 to 791. Aurelius was chosen as king by the Asturian nobility after Fruela I's assassination. He is believed to have been crowned in Sama. His reign appears to have been relatively quiet and peaceful, attested to by the near-absence of mention of his reign in medieval chronicles. The only event of his reign narrated in the chronicles was a rebellion of serfs, which Aurelius put down.de Caunedo, Nicolás Castor (28 May 1854).Un cronicón del siglo IX". Semanario Pintoresco Español 22: 171 – via Hemeroteca Digital. The location of the uprising is unknown, but it is the first recorded instance of anti- seignorial revolt in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. It is believed that, accordin ...

He was the eldest son of Alfonso I and continued his father's war against the Moors. Pelayo, the founder of the Kingdom of Asturias, was his maternal grandfather. History During his reign, he suppressed uprisings from both the Basques and the Galicians; following his victory over the Basques, he took a Basque noblewoman from Alava named Munia as his wife.

Fruela I De Asturias (Museo Del Prado)
Fruela or Froila is a masculine given name of Gothic origin used in Spain in the Middle Ages. The form "Froila" is that which appears in Latin inscriptions and documents, while "Fruela" is the Old Spanish form. For historical persons, the forms are largely interchangeable. The variant Froilán is of the same origin, but derives from the Latin oblique case form ''Froilane''. The feminine forms of the name, Froileuva (Froiliuba) or Froilana, were rarer.Julio de Prado Reyero, ''Siguiendo las huellas de San Froilán'' (Editorial San Esteban, 1994), pp. 26–27. The patronymic derived from Froila is Fróilaz (or Froilaz). Numerous variations on the name occur in medieval sources. From western Iberia: Froilla, Froyla, Froilo, Froia, Froiam, Frogila, Froiano, Froilarius, Froilatius, Froilano. From eastern Iberia: Foilani, Fraula, Friulano, Frodane, Froilane, Froilani, Froilus, Frolani, Frolia, Froylane, Froylano, Froylus, Frua, Fruao, Fruglane, Fruila, Fruilane, Fruilanus, Fruilla, Frula, ...

Ermesinda
Ermesinda (c. 720 or c. 730 – ?; alternatively Ormisenda, Ermisenda, Ermesinde, Ermessenda) was queen consort of the Kingdom of Asturias, wife of King Alfonso I of Asturias ("Alfonso the Catholic"), who claimed right to the throne through his marriage to her . She was the daughter of King Pelagius of Asturias and his queen, Gaudiosa. Life The Latin-language '' Chronicon Albeldense'' states that Ermesinda was daughter of Pelagius, the first king of Asturias, and his queen, Gaudiosa, and that her brother was Favila, the second king of Asturias. Ermesinda passed her claim on the throne to her husband Alfonso, son of Duke Peter of Cantabria. Alfonso, known as Alfonso I or Alfonso "the Catholic," succeeded Favila as king upon the latter's death by bear-mauling in 739, making Erseminda the queen consort. The exact date of Ermesinda's birth is unknown, but appears to have been between 720 and 730. She was presumably born in Asturias where her father was king, although (as is com ...
