Fortún Garcés Cajal was an Navarro-Aragonese nobleman and statesman, perhaps "the greatest noble of Alfonso the Battler's reign".〔William C. Stalls, "The Written Word in the Aragonese ''Reconquista''", ''Anuario de Estudios Medievales'' 22 (1992), 13.〕 In 1113 Fortún replaced Diego López I de Haro in the large and important tenancy of Nájera.〔Carlos Estepa Díez, "Frontera, nobleza y señoríos en Castilla: el señorío de Molina (siglos XII–XIII)", ''Studia historica: Historia medieval'' 24 (2006), 21 n. 30.〕〔Luis Javier Fortún Pérez de Ciriza, ("La quiebra de la soberanía navarra en Alava, Guipúzcoa y el Duranguesado (1199–1200)" ) ''Revista internacional de los estudios vascos'' 45:2 (2000), 441.〕 He held it until 1135. After the death of Alfonso the Battler in 1134, Fortún became a vassal of King Alfonso VII of León.〔Bernard F. Reilly, ''The Kingdom of León-Castilla Under King Alfonso VII, 1126–1157'' (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1998), 49.〕 Fortún received from Alfonso grants of both property and lordship over Daroca and Tudela.〔 In 1127 Fortún and his wife Tota bought various properties around Tudela from some Muslims. In 1130/1 the couple purchased property at a place called Uli in interior Navarre. Their property transactions have left an extensive written record. "()heir holdings were scattered throughout the Ebro River Valley and also located in the interior of Navarre."〔 A royal charter of Alfonso the Battler drawn up at Briviesca on 10 October 1129 names Fortún as holding Briviesca as a fief (''tenencia''). Another charter, this time a private one from the abbey of San Salvador de Oña, dating to November of that same year, recognises the lordship of Rodrigo Gómez, a partisan of Alfonso VII of León, over Briviesca. These two charters indicate the contested nature of the frontier district of the Bureba. At a local level the king of León's man was recognised and active as tenant, but when the king of Aragon was present, his choice of tenant, in this case his most powerful magnate, was enforced.〔Estepa Díez (2006), 24 nn. 45 and 47.〕 At Gronium, a ford of the Ebro two kilometres from Munilla, Fortún founded a bridge with a hospital and a church dedicated to Saint John around 1120.〔José G. Moya Valgañón, "El trazado del camino de Santiago en la Rioja: aspectos de planeamiento y construcción", ''Semana de Estudios Medievales de Nájera'' (Nájera, 1993), IV, 106.〕 This foundation served the pilgrims along the Way of Saint James. By his will Fortún "divided his honour between his nephews", Fortún Íñiguez and Sancho Íñiguez, respective lords of Grañón and Belorado.〔Estepa Díez (2006), 22 n. 39: ''diuisit suum honorem suis nepotibus''.〕 In May 1135 at Nájera, Alfonso made a large gift to Fortún in the presence of the leading regional nobility.〔 Fortún was succeeded at Nájera, sometime before 1139, by his predecessor's son, Count Lope Díaz de Haro.〔Reilly (1998), 302.〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fortún Garcés Cajal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
