Alphonso reigned 739-57 as the first regular ruler of the nascent kingdon of Asturias. He is son of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria, a Christian leader. Alphonso's marriage with Ermesinda united Cantabria and Asturias under his rule when Fafila, Ermesinda's brother, was killed by a bear in 739. Alphonso began the first counteroffensive against the Muslims - while they were engaged in a civil war between Arabs and Berbers after 740, and during the great famine of 748-753.

From: Bryant Smith [skip1@ix.netcom.com] 11 Oct 1998: "I decided your tree was most probably mostly correct in a long morning of study. Here's why:
"I. Tompsett's Directory [etc.] is wrong in at least two regards, at least if my Encyclopedia Britannica is right. It sets forth two key facts: A. Aurelio was a "brother or cousin" of Fruela son of Alfonso I. Tompsett satisfies this requirement by making Aurelio the son of Fruela of Cantabria (son of Pedro), and Pedro the father of Alfonso I; hence making Pedro the grandfather of both Aurelio and Fruela of Asturias. However, B. Silon was a brother-in-law of Aurelio. Tompsett's own database shows that Silon m. Adosinda, dau of Alfonso I. So (unless Silon had a sister who m. Aurelio, of which there is no indication) Aurelio must be a brother of Adosinda, and therefore a son of Alfonso I not of Fruela of Cantabria.
"II. I think however that your identification of "Vimaranus" as the wife of Aurelius is mistaken. E.B. sheds no light on the issue, but Tompsett's database shows a Vimerano son of Alfonso I. I suggest that "Vimeranus" (the gender of the word is wrong for a daughter) was brother not wife of Aurelius. It doesn't make a difference genealogically, but it adds interest to the mystery of the mediaeval murders.
"III. Fruela of Asturias died 768, "murdered by his brother" [E.B.]: Which brother? Vimarano died in 767, "murdered" [Tompsett]: By whom? Were both Fruela and Vimarano murdered, or does Tompsett have it wrong? If Tompsett is right and Vimarano was Fruela's brother, and if my logic above is sound and Aurelio was also Fruela's brother, and Fruela and Vimarano were both murdered, then the brother who murdered Fruela was either Vimarano or Aurelio (unless there are missing brothers! {e.g. Bermundo?}); and if Vimarano was murdered after Fruela, the murderer of Vimarano may well have been Aurelio. E.B. does not mention Vimarano, nor does it identify any brother of Fruela except possibly Aurelio [as "brother or cousin"]. I infer that if Aurelio had murdered Fruela then E.B. (a) would not be in doubt over Aurelio's relationship to Fruela and (b) would have named Aurelio as Fruela's murderer. Ergo, I infer that the murderer-brother of Fruela was Vimarano.
"IV. Was Aurelio the father of Bermundo I? Very interesting in this regard is your note on Aurelius, citing Lomax indicating Aurelio was brother rather than father of Bermudo and leaving open whether their father was Fruela son of Pedro, or Alfonso {son of Pedro}. Tompsett does make them brothers, but sons of Fruela son of Pedro. But Tompsett is wrong, at least as to Aurelio (vide supra), as to their paternity. So Lomax' position boils down to this, that Bermudo was either a son, or a grandson, of Alfonso I. E.B. supports this vagueness by referring to Bermudo as a "descendant of Alphonso I." And the available dates leave sufficient room for doubt, but I see no good reason for giving Aurelio another brother and muddying the murder mystery!
"V. Your note on Alphonso I refers to the Fafila who was killed by a bear as Ermesinda's brother but E.B. says he was Pelayo's brother (Ermesinda's uncle). BTW your database does not include him in either position!"
