Gonzalo of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza
- Gonzalo of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza
Gonzalo Sánchez (assassinated 26 June 1043) [His death on 26 June appears in the Necrology of San Victorián, but the year has been subject to much debate. Zurita places it in 1035, Moret in 1042 or 1043, Pérez de Urbel 1039 and Ubieto Arteta in in 1046. Nelson gives reason to believe that it was 1043. "Nelson", pp. 230-231.] was made Count of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza, two small Pyrenean counties, before 1035 by his father, Sancho III of Navarre. He succeeded to these domains after his father's death in that year and ruled them as vassal of his brother García until his death.
He is thought to have been ineffectual and unpopular, with vassals defecting to his brother Ramiro during his own life, and one failing to name him in a list of rulers of Ribagorza written within a decade of his death. A late source reports his assassination by one of his own knights, "Ramonat de Uasconya", near Lascorz, and he was interred at San Victorián. ["Nelson", pp. 228-229.] On his death, García awarded his counties to Ramiro, which initiated several centuries of Aragonese expansionism.
