date_of_birth gonzalo of sobrarbe and ribagorza
Ramiro I ( bef . ___MASK25___  8 May 1063 ) was the first King of Aragon from 1035 until his death . Apparently born before ___MASK25___ , he was the illegitimate son of Sancho III of Pamplona by his mistress Sancha de Aybar . Ramiro was reputed to have been adopted by his father ' s wife Muniadona after he was the only of his father ' s children to come to her aid when needed , although there is no surviving record of these events and the story is probably apocryphal . Here is a list of the administrative " comarcas " ( counties ) in the autonomous community of Aragon in Spain . They were officially delimited in ___MASK16___ , with substantial changes over a previously proposed division . Aragonese (" aragonés " in Aragonese ) is a Romance language spoken in several dialects by ___MASK79___ , 000 to ___MASK26___ , 000 people in the Pyrenees valleys of Aragon , Spain , primarily in the comarcas of Somontano de Barbastro , Jacetania , Alto Gállego , Sobrarbe , and Ribagorza / Ribagorça . It is the only modern language which survived from medieval Navarro - Aragonese in a form distinctly different from Spanish . Gonzalo Sánchez ( c . 1020 -- 26 June 1043 ) was ruler of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza , two small Pyrenean counties . He was the son of King Sancho III of Navarre and his wife , Mayor of Castile . Before ___MASK70___ , Sancho decreed that Gonzalo should rule Sobrarbe and Ribagorza . He succeeded to these domains after his father ' s death in that year and ruled them as vassal of his brother García Sánchez III until his death . Gonzalo is thought to have been ineffectual and unpopular , with vassals defecting to his brother , Ramiro I of Aragon , during his own life , and one failing to name him in a list of rulers of Ribagorza written within a decade of his death . The Historia silense ( c . 1115 ) does not mention Gonzalo in its version of the division of Sancho III ' s realm . It even records that Ramiro was given the `` remote '' region of Aragon on account of his illegitimacy , despite that Gonzalo ' s division was more remote and his legitimacy unquestioned . The anonymous Chronica naierensis ( c . 1200 ) , basing its account entirely on the Silense , likewise knows nothing of Gonzalo and blames Ramiro ' s position on his bastardy . An independent source , though influenced by popular legends and ballads , the Liber regum ( c . 1200 ) shows no awareness of Gonzalo . According to a document of 14 April ___MASK70___ preserved in San Juan de la Peña recording Sancho ' s grant of Aragon to Ramiro , the castle of Loarre and monastery of San Emeterio with their dependent villages were detached from that province and given to Gonzalo . Gonzalo subsequently confirms many charters alongside his brother and they often appear together in dating clauses . With the title of king , Gonzalo appears beside all his brothers and the `` emperor '' Vermudo III of León in the carta de arras of Ramiro ( 22 August 1036 ) . In 1037 Gonzalo was reunited with his brothers García and Ramiro -- and the churchmen Sancho , Bishop of Pamplona ; Paterno , a Cluniac reformer ; and Abbot Blasco of San Juan de la Peña -- to confirm a donation of Jimeno Garcés , Ramiro ' s godfather , to the monastery of Leire . In this document García uses the title princeps ( prince ) to indicate his superiority , but Ramiro and Gonzalo use the title regulus ( petty king ) and are referred to as in Aragone ( ( ruling ) in Aragon ) . This meeting probably took place either in Pamplona or in Leire , but neither the day or month is preserved in the records . The use of a royal title in the presence of his elder brother García is evidence that Gonzalo did not usurp it . The three brothers and Ferdinand were all at Anzánigo ( Andizaniku ) in 1037 or perhaps 1043 , after Ferdinand had succeeded to the Kingdom of León . A late source , the Chronicle of San Juan de la Peña , reports his assassination by one of his own knights , Ramonat de Uasconya ( possibly a Gascon named Ramonet ) , who threw him from the bridge over the Esera at Montclús , near Lascorz . He was interred at San Victorián . On his death , García awarded his counties to Ramiro , which initiated several centuries of Aragonese expansionism . Gonzalo ' s death on 26 June appears in the necrology of San Victorián , but the year has been subject to much debate . Among the early modern historians , Zurita places it in ___MASK70___ and José de Moret in 1042 or 1043 . The Chronicle places it in 1037 , but there is disputed charter of September 1039 confirmed by Gonzalo . As Ramiro confirmed the rights of Bishops of Urgell in Ribagorza in September 1040 , it would appear that Gonzalo was dead by then . Pérez de Urbel thus places it between December 1039 and September 1040 and casts doubt on the dates of several documents mentioning Gonzalo after 1040 ( a donation of Blasquita from 1041 , a charter of Ramiro ' s from 1042 , and a donation of Ramiro to Atón Garcés in 1043 ) . Accepting these , Ubieto Arteta places Gonzalo ' s assassination in 1046 . Nelson gives reason to believe that it was 1043 . Sancho Garcés III ( Basque : " Antso III . a Gartzez "; c . ___MASK76___  ___MASK47___ October 1035 ), also known as Sancho III of Pamplona and nicknamed " the Great ", was King of Pamplona and Count of Aragon from 1004 until his death in 1035 . He also ruled by marriage the counties of Castile , Álava and Monzón , which later expanded with the acquisition of the County of Cea in ___MASK37___ and the counties of Sobrarbe ( 1015 ) and Ribagoza ( ___MASK43___ ). He would later intervene in the Kingdom of León , taking the capital city . Spain , officially the Kingdom of Spain , is a sovereign state largely located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe , with two large archipelagos , the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands off the North African Atlantic coast , two cities Ceuta and Melilla in the North African mainland and several small islands in the Alboran Sea near the Moroccan coast . Its mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar ; to the north and northeast by France , Andorra , and the Bay of Biscay ; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean . It is the only European country to have a border with an African country ( Morocco ) and its African territory accounts for nearly ___MASK84___ % of its population , mostly in the Canary Islands but also in Ceuta and Melilla . Sobrarbe is one of the comarcas of Aragon , Spain . It is located in the northern part of the province of Huesca , part of the autonomous community of Aragon in Spain . Many of its people speak the Aragonese language locally known as " fabla ".
