Ramiro Sánchez
Ramiro Sánchez of Monzón (1070–1129/1130) was a noble kinsman of the kings of Navarre.
In 1104 he was "tenente" of Urroz, of Monzón between 1104 and 1116, probably of Tudela in 1117 and from 1122 to 1129 in Erro.
His father was Sancho Garcés, an illegitimate son of king García Sánchez III of Navarre.
His mother was Constance, whose parentage has been subject to recent speculation - associated with the lords of Marañón in traditional sources, she has lately been suggested to have been daughter of queen Estefanía, King García's wife, and hence stepsister of her husband.
With the fall of his uncle, king Sancho IV of Navarre, the kingdom was divided between Castile and Aragon, and the royal family parceled out between the two.
Ramiro was thus raised at the Aragonese court, and was lord of Monzón, in which he was succeeded by his eldest son, the future king García Ramírez of Navarre.
Around 1098, Ramiro was married to Cristina Rodríguez daughter of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar.
Their children were:
John Westley
Rev. John Westley( 1636 – 78) was an English nonconformist minister.
He was the grandfather of John Wesley( founder of Methodism).
Sancho Garcés, Lord of Uncastillo
Sancho Garcés (c. 1038 – 6 January 1083) was an illegitimate son of King García Sánchez III of Pamplona and first cousin of King Alfonso VI of León.
Lord of Uncastillo and Sangüesa, he was the father of Ramiro Sánchez whose son García Ramírez was the first of a new dynasty of Navarrese monarchs.
John II, Lord of Polanen
John III, Lord of Polanen( – 3 November 1378 in Breda) was Lord of Polanen, Lord of De Lek and Lord of Breda.
Ansur Fernández
Ansur, Assur, or Asur Fernández( died 947/50) was a powerful Castilian nobleman and military leader in the Kingdom of León during the reign of Ramiro II.
He was the first Count of Monzón, probably from before 939, certainly by 943, and he was Count of Castile in 943–45 in opposition to the deposed Fernán González.
His family was known as the Banu Ansur(" Banu Anshur") or Ansúrez( Assuriz).
The earliest reference to Ansur is found in a document dated 4 March 921, wherein he is named with his parents Fernando Ansúrez and Muniadonna in a donation in the vicinity of Burgos to San Pedro de Cardeña.
His father is not mentioned after 929, but the date of his death is unknown.
The leader of the Banu Ansúrez who allied with the Banu Gómez in rebellion against Ramiro in favour of his abdicated brother Alfonso IV in the spring of 932 may have already been Ansur.
If so, he was already a count by that time.
According to the" Anales castellanos primeros", he participated in the Battle of Simancas in 939, where he is one of only two participating counts named, the other being Fernán González of Castile.
This indication of his importance and his high rank may also indicate that by then the county of Monzón had already been created by Ramiro II for him.
In July 941 Ramiro associated the counts of the Banu Ansúrez and Gómez families as well as Fernán González and Sancho Garcés II of Pamplona with him in a peace treaty signed with the Caliphate of Córdoba.
Despite that Ansur bore the title" count" as early as 939, the earliest direct reference to the county of Monzón is from a diploma of 26 December 943, which reads" regnante Ranimiro in Obeto et in Legione et comite Assur Fredinandiz in Montson"( Ramiro reigning in Oviedo and León and Count Ansur Fernández in Monzón).
By this act Ansur, his wife Guntroda, and their children — Fernando, Oveco, Muño, Nuño, Gutierre, Gonzalo, and Teresa—donated the village of Fuente Adrada near Sacramenia to the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña.
The gift was confirmed by a" Domna Toda", who signs right after the king.
This may have been Toda of Navarre.
A charter dated 1 August 937 refers to" Assuri dominans Menduniae"( Ansur ruling" Mendunia", a corruption of Monzón), but there appears to be an error in the dating clause; the correct date is probably 1 March 947.
After Ramiro deposed Fernán González in Castile, he appointed his own son, the future Sancho I, as count with Ansur acting as his" regent".
By May 944 Sancho was in Burgos.
There are four surviving charters from Ansur's brief reign in Castile; the earliest from November 943.
The latest is dated to 1 December 945, though according to other sources Fernán González was reinstated in Castile on 22 April that year.
Nonetheless, the reinstated Fernán signed royal documents below Ansur, indicating a reversal of rank.
Ansur's only known daughter, Teresa, married Ramiro II's son Sancho I and was the mother of Ramiro III.
She inherited, and her son through her, the county of Monzón after the death of Ansur's eldest son and successor, Fernando, in 978.
In 976 Fernando boasted that his father had remained always faithful to his monarch and had served him with valour in a thousand battles.
Kaya Alp
Kaya Alp was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kızıl Buğa and the father of Suleyman Shah, who was, in turn, the grandfather of Ertuğrul, and the great grandfather of the Ottoman Empire founder, Osman I.
Fernando Ansúrez II
Fernando Ansúrez II( died 978, shortly after 23 April) was the Count of Monzón, Peñafiel, and Campos from 950 and one of the most powerful noblemen of his generation in the Kingdom of León.
He was the eldest son of Ansur Fernández and namesake of his grandfather, Fernando Ansúrez I. His sister Teresa was the queen of Sancho I and later regent for her son, Ramiro III.
Fernando had six brothers( Oveco, Gonzalo, Osorio, Muño, Gutier and Nuño) at the time of his first appearance in contemporary records( 943), but shortly after being appointed to the county of Monzón( 951) only two, Gonzalo and Muño, were still living, and they were recorded as counts along with him.
The first record of Fernando as count is his confirmation of a diploma of 17 June 950, where he signs as" Fredinandus Assurez comes".
Fernando probably succeeded his father, with royal approval, but there is a lapse in the documentation concerning the county of Monzón between 947 and 950.
Lyon Cohen
Lyon Cohen( 1868–1937) was a Polish- born Canadian businessman and a philanthropist.
He was the grandfather of singer/ poet Leonard Cohen.
