La Bureba
Gonzalo held several "tenencias" (tenancies) during his career. He was first recorded holding La Bureba on 8 March 1147, and he held it as late 1175. In 1177, while he was in exile in León, it was granted to Diego López II de Haro, but it was returned to Gonzal by 31 December 1180. He was still in possession of it in 1183. Other tenancies he is recorded as holding are Asturias (de Oviedo), Cabezón, Carrión, Liébana, Montenegro, Orna, Osma, Pancorbo, Pernía, Saldaña, Sarria, and Valdeprado. A Gonzalo Ruiz, probably the same one, received the tenancy of Lara in 1193.
