Galindo II Aznárez
Encyclopedia
Galindo Aznárez II was Count of Aragón
(893–922), the son and successor of Aznar Galíndez II.
Galindo was one of a coalition that sponsored the 905 coup d'état in Pamplona
in favor of his brother-in-law, Sancho I of Pamplona
. However, he turned on this new king and in 911 attacked him in concert with brother-in-law Muhammad al-Tawil and Abd Allah ibn Lubb ibn Qasi. This coalition was defeated, al-Tawil killed, and Galindo forced to become vassal of Sancho.
Galindo was married twice. By his first wife, Acibella Garcés of Gascony
, daughter of Count García II Sánchez of Gascony
, he had sons Miro and Bishop Redemtus, along with daughter Toda, wife of Hunifred Bernat, count of Ribagorza, to whom she brought Sobrarbe
. By his second wife, Sancha Garcés of Pamplona, daughter of García Jiménez
and sister of Sancho I, he had Velasquita and Andregota Galíndez
, who married García Sanchez, king of Pamplona (925–970). He also sired several illegitimate sons: Guntoslo, Sancho, Belasco, Banzo, and Aznar. The first of these, Guntoslo, is apparently the man of this name who would later be count of Aragon, but only as a fully subservient vassal of his brother-in-law the king of Pamplona.
