Pedro Duque de Cantabria

• Claimed to be the son of Ervigio, rey de los visigodos and Liubigotona by the 18th century genealogist Salazar y Castro, but modern genealogists consider this to be a fabrication.
• Mitochondrial DNA sequences and Y chromosome haplotypes were characterized in Pasiegos, a human isolate from Cantabria, and compared with those of other Cantabrian and neighbouring Northern Spain populations. Cantabria appears to be a genetically heterogeneous community. Whereas Lebaniegos do not differ from their eastern Basque and western Asturian and Galician neighbours, Pasiegos and other non-Lebaniego Cantabrians show significant differences with all of them. Pasiegos are peculiar for their high frequencies of Y chromosomal markers (E-M81) with North African assignation, and Y chromosomal (R-SRY2627) and mtDNA (V, I, U5) markers related to northern European populations. This dual geographic contribution is more in agreement with the complex demographic history of this isolate, as opposed to recent drift effects. The high incidence in Cantabrians with pre-V and V mtDNA haplotypes, considered as a signal of Postglacial recolonization in Europe from south-western refugees, points to such refugees as a better candidate population than Basques for this expansion. However, this does not discount a conjoint recolonization.
• The Chronicon Albeldense records that “primus in Asturias Pelagius” was expelled from the kingdom by "Vitizane Rege de Toleto", arrived in Asturias after "a Sarracenis Spania occupata est", and adds that he was the first to organise a rebellion against the Muslims in Asturias while "Juzeph" reigned in Córdoba[11]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III contains a lengthy romanticised account of Pelayo's life in Asturias and his conflict with the Moorish army including his supposed major victory against the Muslims which took place at Covadonga in 722[12]. The victory at Covadonga has acquired symbolic importance in Spain over the centuries, but it is not mentioned at all in the Muslim sources and there is little evidence about the nature of the conflict which actually took place. If the Akhbar al-Majmua correctly records the numbers of the Asturian resistance (see above), it is possible that it was little more than a minor skirmish.

ARDABASTO, son of --- . The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "Ardabastus came from Greece after being expelled from his country by the emperor…arrived in Spain" and was "received…magnificently" by King Chindasvinto who gave him his niece in marriage[356]. His parentage is unknown, although this passage suggests that he must have been a person of importance in Byzantium. Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Atanagildo" as the son of Hermenegildo, as well as his marriage to "Flavia Juliana hija de Pedro Augusto, hermano del Emperador Mauricio", and their sons "Paulo" and "Ardavasto", as well as the latter´s marriage to "prima, hija o hermana del Rey Cindasuindo"[357] (see above). The primary sources on which these statements are based are not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution. The name "Ardabasto" suggests a connection with Armenia, "Artavazd" being one of the names used frequently in the Mamikonian family of Armenia, holders of the hereditary position "sparapet" [supreme general] between the 5th and 8th centuries[358]. There could also be a connection with Artabasdos (-before 772), strategos of the theme of Armenia, who in 717 married Anna, daughter of Emperor Leon III "the Isaurian". married ([642]%29 --- of the Visigoths, niece of CHINDASVINTO King of the Visigoths, daughter of ---. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records the marriage of "Ardabastus…from Greece" and the niece of King Chindasvinto[359]. The marriage must have taken place very early in the reign of King Chindasvinto given the tight possible birth date range of the couple´s granddaughter Cixilo.

Ardabasto and his wife had [two] children:

• 1. ERVIGIO ([643]-Toledo 15 Nov 687). The Chronicle of Alfonso III names "Ervig" as the son of "Ardabastus…from Greece" & his wife[360]. His birth date is estimated from his parents´ assumed marriage date range, working back from the tight birth date range assigned to his daughter Cixilo. He was brought up at the court of King Recesvinto, where he used the title "comes"[361]. After deposing King Wamba in 680, he was elected to succeed as ERVIGIO King of the Visigoths. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Ervigius” succeeded “Id Oct 719” and was anointed “XII Kal Nov”[362]. The Continuator of Isidor's Historia Gothorum, Wandalorum, Sueborum records the accession of "Ervigius" and his reign of 7 years[363]. In light of the dubious circumstances of his accession, he married his daughter to his most powerful opponent whom he nominated as his successor, by-passing his own sons[364]. The sons of King Ervigio must have been minors at the time if the chronology of events shown above is correct. In 681, he revised and enlarged the Liber iudiciorum compiled by his predecessor King Recesvinto[365]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that Ervigio "died a natural death in Toledo" having ruled six years and four months[366]. The Chronica Regum Visigotthorum records that “Ervigius” reigned for seven years and 25 days, and died “XVII Kal Dec”[367]. married ([662]%29 LIUBIGOTONA, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [680/86] which records that "socer noster Ervigius princeps…domina mea Leuvitona regina" granted "filiam suam" as wife of "Egicæ regis"[368]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[369] she was Liubigotona the Visigoth, daughter of Suíntila King of the Visigoths, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. If this parentage is correct, she would have been considerably older than her husband, given the death of her supposed father in 633. Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Liubigtobona nieta de Recaredo" as the wife of King Ervigio and mother of his children[370]. The primary source on which this statement is based are not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution. Her husband's successor forced his predecessor's widow to retire to a nunnery[371].

Ervigio & his wife had [three or more] children:

• a) CIXILO ([663/65]-). The Chronicle of Alfonso III records the marriage of "the nobleman Egica, nephew of Wamba" and "Ervig…his daughter Cixilo"[372]. Her birth date range is estimated from (1) the estimated birth and marriage dates of her father, based on the arrival of her grandfather in Spain during the reign of King Chindasvinto, and (2) the birth of her son Witiza before her repudiation. Given this tight birth date range, it is likely that Cixilo was her father's eldest child. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [680/86] which records that "socer noster Ervigius princeps…domina mea Leuvitona regina" granted "filiam suam" as wife of "Egicæ regis"[373]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records her repudiation "when [King Ervigio] ascended the throne"[374]. married ([681/86], repudiated [688]%29 EGICA, nephew of WAMBA ex-King of the Visigoths, son of --- (-[701/02]). He was elected to succeed his father-in-law in 687 as EGICA King of the Visigoths.
  
• b) sons. The primary source which confirms their parentage has not yet been identified, although Falcón records that King Ervigio by-passed his own sons when nominating his son-in-law Egica as his successor[375].
  
• c) [VERMUDO . Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Veremundo Duque de Cantabria" and "Pedro Duque de Cantabria" as the sons of King Ervigio[376]. The primary sources on which these statements are based are not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution.
  
• d) [PEDRO, Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Veremundo Duque de Cantabria" and "Pedro Duque de Cantabria" as the sons of King Ervigio[377]. The primary sources on which these statements are based are not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution. The Chronicle of Alfonso III describes his son, Alfonso I King of Asturias, as "of the royal line" without specifying his ancestry[378]. The Historia Silense names "Petrus ex Recaredi…Gotorum principis progenie"[379], although Pedro's descent from King Recaredo I cannot be established. It is assumed that this alleged family relationship with the Visigoths is another example of an invention by later genealogists wishing to fill the information gaps left by the primary sources.

PELAYO ([685/90] -Cangas de Onís 737 [29], bur Santa Eulalia). "Pelagium, filium quondam Fafilani ducis ex semine regio" according to the Chronicle of Alfonso III [30]. The Chronicon Albeldense names “Pelagius filius Veremundi, nepos Ruderici regis Toletani”, adding that he was the first to enter “in Asturibus montibus sub rupe in antrum de Auseba” [31]. Barrau-Dihigo comments that this passage forms part of a list of genealogical information which appears to be of dubious value [32]. According to the Chronicle of Alfonso III, Pelayo was sword-bearer for Kings Witiza and Rodrigo [33], when presumably he must at least have been an adolescent or young adult. According to the Chronicon Albeldense, Pelayo was expelled from Toledo “a Vitizane rege”, adding that he entered Asturias after the Moorish invasion, started the rebellion “regnante Juzeph in Cordoba”, and captured “Monuza” in León and “Oppa episcopus” [34]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that he fled to Asturias after the Moorish invasion "oppressed by the dominion of the Ishmaelites", although on arrival he made contact with the Muslim prefect of Gijón who sent Pelayo as his envoy to Córdoba [35]. He was elected in [718] as PELAYO King of Asturias, based in the Picos de Europa district of eastern Asturias. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that his supporters' first clear victory against the Muslims took place at Covadonga in 722 [36], although as discussed further in the Introduction the historical importance of the battle on the ground is unclear. The kingdom's first capital was at Cangas de Onís, later moved to Oviedo. The Akhbar al-Majmua records that "

Pelayo & his wife had two children:

• a) FÁFILA ([715/20] -mid-Jun 739, bur Santa Cruz). The Chronicle of Alfonso III names "Favila, Pelayo's son" when recording that he succeeded his father, commenting that he "constructed… a basilica in honor of the Holy Cross" and lived only a short time [42]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult when elected to succeed his father as king. He succeeded his father in 737 as FÁFILA King of Asturias. The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that "he is reported to have been killed by a bear during a moment of levity" [43]. The Chronicon Albeldense states that “Fasila filius eius [Pelayo]” reigned for two years and was killed by a bear [44]. The Chronicon Compostellani records that “Fafila” reigned two years and six months [45]. Ibn-Khaldun records that, after the death of "
• b) ERMESENDA ([720/25] -, bur Santa María). The Chronicon Albeldense records that “Bermisindam, Pelagii filiam” married “Adefonsus… Petri, Cantabriæ ducis filius” who succeeded King Fáfila [50]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III names "the daughter of Pelayo Ermesinda" when recording her marriage to "Alfonso the son of Peter" [51]. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her first known child in [740]. Her marriage date is deduced from the Chronicle of Alfonso III recording that Alfonso "enjoyed many victories alongside his father-in-law" [52]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Adefonsus… cum uxore sua Regina Ermesinda" was buried "in Cangas territory in Monastery S. Mariæ" [53]. m (before 737) ALFONSO [Duke of Cantabria], son of PEDRO [Duke of Cantabria] & his wife --- (-757, bur Santa Maria). He was elected in 739 to succeed his brother-in-law as ALFONSO I “el Católico” King of Asturias.

Peter (Latin: Petrus, Spanish: Pedro; died 730) was the Duke of Cantabria. While various writers have attempted to name his parentage, (for example, making him son or brother of King Erwig), early sources say nothing more specific than the chronicle of 'Pseudo-Alfonso': that he was "ex semine Leuvigildi et Reccaredi progenitus" (descended from the bloodline of Liuvigild and Reccared I). He was the father of King Alfonso I and of Fruela of Cantabria, father of Kings Aurelius and Bermudo I.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_of_Cantabria

He was Duke of Cantabria, and Señor de Biscay. He was a Visigothic leader, associated with King Pelayo in founding Asturias (or alternatively, in reestablishing the Visigothic kingdom in a significantly reduced territory). According to a late tradition, he was descended from Leovigildo and Reccared, Visigothic kings of Toledo. Some sources call him a son of King Ervigio and his wife Liubigotona, others call him a step-son of Ervigio.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_de_Cantabria

Pedro de Cantabria (Latin: Petrus de Cantia-Brae) fue Duque de Cantabria. Probablemente nació en algún lugar de la Cordillera Cantábrica y murió el año 730. Su hijo, Alfonso I el Católico (yerno de Don Pelayo), y varios nietos suyos fueron elegidos reyes de Asturias por la nobleza asturiana.

Antepasados y descendientes [editar]

Hasta el siglo XIX, basándose en los antiguos cronistas, se creyó que fue hijo del rey visigodo Ervigio, pero algunos historiadores y genealogistas de hoy en día lo ponen en duda. Se desconoce el nombre de su o sus esposas.

El hijo mayor del Duque Pedro de Cantabria, Alfonso I el Católico, fue el tercer rey de Asturias y padre del rey Fruela I de Asturias. Su segundo hijo, Fruela, fue padre de los reyes Aurelio y Bermudo; y dio origen, a través de su hijo Bermudo, a uno de las principales linajes de los que provinieron los monarcas de los reinos de Asturias, León, Navarra, Castilla y Aragón, que posteriormente darían origen a los reinos de España y Portugal.

Actuación [editar]

Según antiguas crónicas musulmanas, en el año 714 Musa ibn Nusair toma y saquea por segunda vez Amaya, la capital del ducado de Cantabria, lo que obliga a Pedro y a los suyos a refugiarse tras la cordillera. Allí combina sus fuerzas con el líder astur Pelayo para combatir a los invasores musulmanes, a los que derrotan en la batalla de Covadonga. Es probable que, siguiendo la costumbre goda, Pedro enviase a su hijo a la corte real de Pelayo en Cangas de Onís. Según el fragmento transcrito a continuación de la Crónica Albeldense, el Duque Pedro y el Rey Pelayo acordaron fusionar sus dominios mediante el matrimonio de Alfonso (hijo de Pedro) con Ermesinda (hija de Pelayo):

Tras la muerte -el 14 de septiembre del año 739, durante una cacería- de Favila (quien había sucedido a su padre Pelayo como Rey de los astures), Alfonso es designado primer Rey de los unificados dominios que en lo sucesivo se conocerían con el nombre de Asturias. La posteridad lo conoce con el nombre de Alfonso I el Católico.

According to the Moslem chroniclers, in the year 714, Musa ibn Nusair sacked Amaya, capital of Cantabria, for the second time. Peter, the provincial dux, led his people into refuge in the mountains and then joined with Pelayo of Asturias against the invaders. After the Battle of Covadonga, in which Pelayo defeated an invading force, it seems likely that Peter sent his son to the court of Pelayo at Cangas de Onís. It had been a Visigothic practice to send noble children to the royal court, this was thus a tacit admission of Pelayo's regality. According to the Crónica Albeldense, the territories of the two leaders were united by marriage between Peter's son Alfonso and Pelayo's daughter Ermesinda:

   Adefonsus, Pelagi gener, reg. an. XVIIII. Iste Petri Cantabriae ducis filius fuit; et dum Asturias venir Ermesindam Pelagii filiam Pelagio proecipiente, accepit.

Alfonso later succeeded to the Asturian throne and was the first to use the title of king. While Iberian Muslim scholars would call his descendants the Beni Alfons (Arabic: بن إذفنش‎ (Beni Iḍfunš)) after his son, some modern authors refer to the family as the Pérez Dynasty for Peter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Cantabria

The Duchy of Cantabria was a march created by the Visigoths in northern Spain to watch their border with the Cantabrians and Basques. Its precise extension is unclear in the different periods, but seems likely that it included Cantabria, parts of Northern Castile, La Rioja, and probably western areas of Biscay and Álava.

The two main towns of Cantabria before its conquest by the Goths were Amaya, in northern Burgos and the City of Cantabria, believed to have been near modern Logroño. Both towns were destroyed in 574 by Liuvigild, who massacred many of their inhabitants. The legend of this destruction remained for long in the memory of the affected peoples. Bishop Braulio of Zaragoza, 631-651, wrote in his Life of St. Emilianus how the saint prophesied the destruction of Cantabria because of their alleged sins. It is held in popular belief that the converted refugees from the City of Cantabria founded the monastery of Our Lady of Codés in Navarre.

A Senate of Cantabria mentioned in the Saint Aemilianus' work bears witness to a local nobility and a governing diet that may have been of the last independent Hispano-Roman provincial authorities. Archaeological discoveries in the last decades around the millennium have brought to light that the cultural and economic influences, and even small groups of people in the near Basque territory once part of the duchy or limiting with it, came from way beyond the Pyrenees during this time gap of political vacuum or at the best, uncertain authority.

In 581, right before major Frankish expeditions against the Basques and the establishment of the Duchy of Vasconia in the Kingdom of the Franks, the count of Bordeaux Galactorius is cited by the poet Venantius Fortunatus as fighting both the Basques and the Cantabrians, while the Chronicle of Fredegar brings up a shadowy Francio duke of Cantabria ruling for a long period.

In the late Visigothic period, at a second stage after the 6th century Cantabrian defeat, the Duchy of Cantabria is attested as being a buffer zone during the continuous fighting between Visigoths and Basques. Notice of a certain duke Peter of Cantabria, father of Alfonso I of Asturias, is attested on 9th century Asturian documents for the first years of the Umayyad conquest of Hispania, from 711-718.

Até ao século XIX, com base nos cronistas antigos, acreditava-se ser o filho de Ervígio rei visigodo, no entanto, não existe nenhuma prova documentada. Segundo a Crónica Albeldense e a versão Rotensis da Crónica de Afonso III Pedro era de exregni prosapiem, ou seja, de estirpe real visigoda.[3]

Em 711-712, Tárique e seu exército omíada conquistou Amaya, a capital do ducado da Cantábria. Depois da vitória das tropas lideradas por Pelágio na batalha de Covadonga no verão de 722, o conde Pedro enviou a seu filho Afonso para colaborar com o chefe militar asturiano.[4]

PEDRO, son of [ERVIGIO King of the Visigoths & his wife Liubigotona].

Salazar y Castro, in his genealogical table of the Visigothic kings, shows "Veremundo Duque de Cantabria" and "Pedro Duque de Cantabria" as the sons of King Ervigio. The primary sources on which these statements are based are not specified. The table includes numerous errors and the information should therefore be viewed with caution. The Chronicle of Alfonso III describes Pedro´s son, Alfonso I King of Asturias, as "of the royal line" without specifying his ancestry. The Historia Silense names "Petrus ex Recaredi…Gotorum principis progenie", although Pedro's descent from King Recaredo I cannot be established. When recording the succession of "roi Alphonse, fils de Pedro", Ibn-Khaldun states that, according to Ibn-Haiyan, he descended "des Goths" but that "à mon avis cette opinion est erronée". It is possible that this alleged family relationship with the Visigoths was an invention by later genealogists wishing to fill information gaps left by the primary sources. His name suggests Greek, and by extension Roman, origin.

[Duque de Cantabria]: the Chronica Albeldense records him as “Petri Cantabriæ ducis”. .The historical basis for supposing that there was a "Dukedom of Cantabria" under the Visigoths is unclear.

The name of Pedro's wife is not known. An indication of her family is provided by the charter dated 11 Nov 741 under which [her son] “Aldefonsus rex et uxor mea Hermesendis regina” donated various churches to “Adulfo abbati...domino meo et avunculo meo...qui in monasterio Beatæ Mariæ de Covadonga”, although this charter is classified as “faux” by Barrau-Dihigo. The family origin of Abbot Adaulf has not otherwise been traced. 1

[Duque] Pedro & his wife had [two] children:

• 1. ALFONSO ([705/10]-[757], bur Santa María). … The Chronicle of Alfonso III states that, after the death of Fáfila (his brother-in-law, in 739), he was elected to succeed as ALFONSO I "el Católico" King of Asturias[68]. … m (before 737) ERMESINDA de Asturias, daughter of PELAYO King of Asturias & his wife Gaudiosa ---.
• 2. FRUELA (-[765]). The Historia Silense records that "Petrus ex Recaredi…Gotorum principis progenie" had "duos filios…Adefonsum…et Froylam"[131]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III names "Fruela" as brother of Alfonso, when recording that they "took many cities in battle"[132]. m ---. The name of Fruela's wife is not known. Fruela & his wife had [three] children: …

Duque da Cantábria. Naquela época, o título de duque não era necessariamente hereditário e designava qualquer pessoa que comandasse tropas. Na Crónica de Afonso III o termo duque tinha o significado de duque territoriais e de chefe. Pedro era o governante de uma das oito províncias do Reino Visigótico de Toledo.
