アルフォンソ3世
The death of King Alfonso II brought about a succession crisis in the Kingdom of Asturias. According to the "Chronicle of Alfonso III", credited to Ramiro's grandson, the childless Alfonso II chose as his successor Ramiro, his distant kinsman and son of Alfonso's predecessor Bermudo I. At the time of King Alfonso's death, Ramiro was outside of Asturias in Castile (or "Bardulia" according to the "Chronicle of Alfonso III"), where he was attending his own marriage ceremonies.
