Pelagius of Asturias
Pelagius ("c".
685 – 737) was a Visigothic nobleman who founded the Kingdom of Asturias, ruling it from 718 until his death.
Through his victory at the Battle of Covadonga, he is credited with beginning the "Reconquista", the Christian reconquest of the Iberian peninsula from the Moors.
He established an independent Christian state in opposition to Moorish hegemony.
The chief sources for Pelagius's life and career are two Latin chronicles written in the late ninth century in the kingdom he founded.
The first is the "Chronica Albeldensia", written at Albelda towards 881, and preserved in the "Codex Vigilanus," with a continuation to 976.
The latter is the "Chronicle of Alfonso III", which was revised in the early tenth century and preserved in two textual traditions that diverge in several key passages: the ', preserved in the "Códice de Roda", and the ', supposedly written by Sebastian, Bishop of Salamanca (910–913).
The only likely earlier written sources from which these chroniclers could derive information are regnal lists.
Pelagius was a Visigoth nobleman, the son of Fafila.
The "Chronica Albeldensis" says that this Fafila was a "dux" of Gallaecia, who was killed by Wittiza.
The "Chronicle of Alfonso III" identifies Pelagius as a grandson of Chindasuinth and says that his father was blinded in Córdoba, at the instigation of Wittiza.
Wittiza is also said to have exiled Pelagius from Toledo upon assuming the crown in 702.
In the opinion of Roger Collins, this is a late tradition and the account of the "Albeldensis", which locates Pelagius' origins in the north of the peninsula, is more credible.
Both chronicles agree, however, that he was a Visigoth who was exiled from Toledo by Wittiza.
According to the later tradition, Munuza, the Berber governor of "Iegione" (
either Gijón or León), became attracted to Pelagius' sister and sent word to Tariq ibn Ziyad, who ordered him to capture Pelagius and send him to Córdoba.
If Munuza's seat is identified with Gijón, it may be inferred that the Arabs had established their rule in the Asturias and that Pelagius was not the leader of a local resistance to Arab conquest.
Pelagius may have come to terms with the Arab elite whereby he was permitted to govern locally in the manner of the previous Visigoths, as is known to have occurred between Arab rulers and Visigothic noblemen elsewhere, as in the case of Theudimer, although most historians consider this unlikely.
At some point Pelagius is said to have rebelled, but for what reasons is unknown; such rebellions by local authorities against their superiors formed a common theme in Visigothic Spain.
A Muslim army was sent against him under the command of Alkama and the Christian bishop of Seville, Oppa.
That Alkama was the general and that there was a bishop of Seville named Oppa among his ranks is generally accepted.
A battle was fought near Covadonga ("in monte Auseva" or "in monte Libana") in which Alkama was killed and Oppa captured.
Moorish chronicles of the event describe Pelagius and his small force as "thirty wild donkeys", as reported by al-Maqqari in the 17th century.
The battle is usually dated to 718 or 719, between the governorships of al-Hurr and as-Sham, though some have dated it as late as 722 and the "Chronica Albeldensia" dates it in the 740s.
After his election as "princeps" (prince, principal leader) of the Asturians by the local magnates in the Visigothic manner, Pelagius made his capital at Cangas de Onís.
The  says about this election:
His kingdom, firstly centred on the eastern Asturias, soon grew.
He married his daughter Ermesinda to the future king Alfonso I, son of Pelagius' eastern neighbour, Duke Peter of Cantabria.
Pelagius reigned for eighteen or nineteen years until his death in 737, when he was succeeded by his son Fafila.
He was buried in the church of Santa Eulalia de Abamia, located in the surroundings of the village of Corao, near Cangas de Onís.
His remains were transferred by King Alfonso X of Castile to the Holy Cave of Covadonga, as were those of his wife Gaudiosa and his sister.
He left, in addition to his son and successor Fafila, a daughter, Ermesinda, who was to become progenitress, along with King Alfonso I of Asturias ("Alfonso the Catholic"), of the later royalty of Asturias.
Favila of Asturias
Fafila, Favila, or Favilac (died 739) was the second King of Asturias from 737 until his death.
He was the only son and successor of Pelagius, the first Asturian monarch, and was named after his paternal grandfather, who was the youngest son of Chindasuinth.
In 737 he founded the Church of Santa Cruz, in his capital of Cangas de Onís, but aside from this, nothing else about his reign is known.
He was said to have been killed by a bear on a hunt.
The hunt was probably a political tool for fostering political ties within his court, a common medieval practice.
Nonetheless, later chroniclers of the "Cronica ad Sebastianum" criticised him as given over to excessive levity.
Favila was buried with his wife Froiluba in the Church of Santa Cruz de Cangas de Onís.
According to the foundation inscription of Santa Cruz, he left children, but they did not succeed him.
He was succeeded by his brother-in-law Alfonso, husband of his sister Ermesinda.
