Gonzalo Núñez (''fl'' 1059–1106) was an early member of the House of Lara, whom modern historians and genealogists agree is the first clearly identifiable member of this lineage.〔«The difference between "house" and "lineage" is that lineage is linear, from male to male descendants, whereas "house" includes both men and women. ''Cfr.'' Sánchez de Mora (2003), p. 37〕 The House of Lara was one of the most important ones in the kingdoms of Castile and León and several of its members played a prominent role in the history of medieval Spain. Possibly related to the Salvadórez, the sons of Salvador González and, by marriage, to the Alfonsos from Tierra de Campos and Liébana, as well as the Álvarez from Castile, Gonzalo was most probably a descendant of the Counts of Castile. == Debated origins == The filiation proposed by Luis de Salazar y Castro in his work on the House of Lara, has been accepted for centuries although several modern historians question its accuracy. According to Salazar y Castro, Gonzalo was the third member of this lineage with that name and was a descendant of the counts of Castile as the son of a Nuño or Munio González who would have been the son of Gonzalo Fernández, the first-born of count Fernán González.〔´Salazar y Castro's proposed filiation is mentioned in his work ''Pruebas de la Casa de Lara'', Vol. I pp. 20-28 and 85-100. ''Cfr.'' Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León (1999), p. 217〕 The author, however, confuses several namesakes, assuming that they are the same person, and does not provide any documentary evidence sustaining that filiation. Moreover, according to medieval charters, Gonzalo Fernández, the son of Fernán González, appears for the last time on 29 June 959 and in February 984 his widow, Fronilde Gómez, made a donation for the soul of her deceased husband to the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña and only mentions one son named Sancho. Ramón Menéndez Pidal in ''La España del Cid '' (1929) believed that Gonzalo Núñez was the son of a Munio or Nuño Salvadórez who would have been the brother of Gonzalo Salvadórez. The historian María del Carmen Carlé in her work "Gran Propiedad y grandes propietarios" (1973) suggested a relationship with the Salvadórez. According to her hypothesis, the relationship would be through Goto González, a daughter of Gonzalo Salvadórez and wife of Nuño Álvarez, who would have been the parents of Gonzalo Núñez de Lara. Nevertheless, according to several charters, Goto González ''Salvadórez'' was married to the Asturian count Fernando Díaz,〔On 18 June 1087 Fernando Díaz appears in the Monastery of San Salvador de Oña executing the will of his deceased wife Goto, giving to the monastery all that she had inherited from her father and from her uncle Álvaro Salvadórez in Hermosilla.〕 brother of Jimena Díaz the wife of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Nuño Álvarez, who died in 1065, was probably the tenente in Amaya and his family owned properties in the land between the Arlanzón and the Duero rivers, which would explain the "power of the Lara in the region". The historian Julia Montenegro in her study on the Monastery of Santa María la Real de Piasca documented a relationship with the lineage of the Alfonsos, the origin of the Osorios, Villalobos, and Froilaz. According to her hipotheses, Gutierre Alfonso and his wife Goto were the parents of María Gutiérrez who married the Castilian magnate Nuño Álvarez, and this couple would have been the parents of Gonzalo Núñez. The medievalist scholar and professor Margarita Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León agrees that there was in fact a relationship with the Alfonsos, nevertheless, she proves that María Gutiérrez and Nuño Álvarez were not Gonzalo's parents, but rather those of his wife Goto Núñez, as evidenced in a donation made in 1087 by Gonzalo, his wife Goto, and his sister-in-law Urraca to the Monastery of San Martín de Marmellar. A year later, the same Urraca mentioned in the previous charter made a donation to the same monastery of some properties that had belonged to her uncle Munio Álvarez and her mother María, daughter of Count Gutierre Alfonso. Urraca appears again in 1097 donating other properties to the Monasterio Real de San Benito in Sahagún, which was confirmed by Gonzalo Núñez, and, in 1088, jointly with her mother María Gutiérrez, she made another donation to the Monastery of San Millán de Suso of a property in Villa Fitero. 〔"If Doña Urraca is the sister-in-law of Gonzalo it is because she is evidently the wife of her brother or the sister of his wife Goto. If this Urraca calls herself the daughter of Nuño Álvarez and María Gutiérrez, then the similarity of the properties owned by Gonzalo and Goto and those of Urraca must be attributed to the fact that they share the same parents, and as construed from the charters, they are sisters, both of them the daughters of María Gutiérrez and of Nuño Álvarez.» ''Cfr.'' Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León (1999), p. 219〕 Another hypothesis on the filiation of Gonzalo Núñez de Lara is proposed by Margarita Torres who suggests that Gonzalo would be the son of a Munio González, son of Gonzalo García who, in turn, was the son of count García Fernández of Castile. Munio González, probably the count in Álava in the year 1030 was the brother of Salvador González, tenente in La Bureba, and this would explain the relationship between the Lara and the Salvadórez. Both brothers were vassals of king Sancho III of Navarre and Munio appears often in charters with his nephews Gonzalo and Álvaro Salvadórez. The historian Gonzalo Martínez Díez disagrees and maintains that it is impossible to confirm such filiation with the available medieval documentation. Antonio Sánchez de Mora, however, believes that although the filiation of Gonzalo Núñez de Lara is still undefined, the hypothesis proposed by Margarita Torres is the one that is probably closest to the truth. The only filiation that seems to have been proven is that of Gonzalo's wife, Goto Núñez, as a member of the Alfonso and the Álvarez clans and that even though "there seems to be close ties between the Lara and the Salvadórez (...), documentary proof is still lacking in order to be able to determine the precise ancestry". 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「Gonzalo Núñez de Lara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
