Unaccounted for in chapter 51 are his sons Mansion & Ramon. Mansion was Vicomte de Lavedan, which is in the Pyrenees. This line is full of Fort-names but they were dead ends. |
Mansion Vicomte de Lavedan (?875 - ?) (link to his parents) = ?

Ramon's family, the Ribagorzas married back into the Fezensacs. Ribagorza is on the South side of the Pyrenees between Aragon and Pallars. |
Ramon (Raymond) I Count of RIBAGORZA (870? - aft 915) (link to his parents) = Guinigenta AZNAREZ (?860 - ?)
|
Ramon of Ribagorza & Gersinde of Fezensac. Gersinde last appeared in chapter 39. |
Ramon (Raimundo Raymond) II Count of RIBAGORZA (?905 - aft 970) = Gersinde de FEZENSAC (?905 - ?961) see chapter 39 |
Ava I of Ribagorza. There were two Avas. This is the earlier one. The later is seen on the tree above in this section. She married Miron, Count of Cerdagne, a high plain surrounded by the Pyrenees East of Andorra and North of Ribagorza. Because of the various dynastic problems & wars much later in 1659, some of modern Cerdagne is French but completely surrounds a small piece of Spain around the town of Llivia. |

Alfonso V & Elvira. Deep in Spain, now. Their son Alphonso VI was deposed by his brother Sancho & had to flee to the Moorish court in Toledo but sister Urraca seems to have arranged the assassination of Sancho, whereupon Alphonso regained the monarchy & took Galicia from his other brother Garcia. He took on the Moors, initially successfully but they defeated him in the end. However, he gave an inspiring push to the Christian drive to get rid of the Moors. His general, known as ‘El Cid’ is more than legendary, modernising military strategy & tactics. Alphonso is credited in one source with also marrying Princess Agatha of England but this cannot be true, as the dates do not add up & I could find no record of Agatha (daughter of William the Conqueror) marrying anyone. His daughter Uracca Alfonsez is also interesting. We met her first husband in Appendix IV section 2, 7th tree. She was a Queen regnant. Her son Alphonso helped her divorce her 2nd husband, Alphonso of Aragon whom he eventually killed & Alphonso eventually succeeded her as monarch. At least, Alphonso of Aragon kept up the pressure on the Moors. |
Alfonso V King of LEON (996? - 1028) (back link to his parents) = 1. Elvira Melendez GONZALES of GALICIA (?993 - 1022)
Alfonso V = 2. Urraca Garces (Garcia?) of Navarre, daughter of Garcia the Trmbler |
