Gómez Núñez (or Gomes Nunes in Portuguese; ''floruit'' 1071–1141) was a Galician and Portuguese political and military leader in the Kingdom of León. His power lay in the valley of the Minho, mainly on the north side, bounded by the Atlantic on the west and corresponding approximately with the Diocese of Tui. There, according to a contemporary source, he had "a strong site, a fence of castles and a multitude of knights and infantry."〔From the ''Historia compostelana'', quoted in Bishko (1965), 328: ''potens situ et munimine castellorum et multitudine equitum atque peditum''.〕 In the civil wars of the reign of Urraca (1109–26), he favoured her son, the future Alfonso VII (1126–57),〔According to the ''Historia compostelana'', Gómez "favoured the child king and rebelled against the queen" (''qui fauebat regi puero et rebellabat reginae'') with an array of castles and troops, quoted in Bishko (1965), 328.〕 and is counted among the Galician leaders of the latter's cause, with Diego Gelmírez and Pedro Fróilaz de Traba. In the early 1120s, after peace had been made between Urraca and Alfonso, he was an ally of Theresa, Countess of Portugal, and her lover, Fernando Pérez. He initially supported Alfonso against Theresa's son, Afonso Henriques, but his last public act was to throw his support behind Afonso's incipient Kingdom of Portugal. He died in exile. ==Civil wars of Urraca's reign== Portuguese historians have usually considered Gómez a brother of Alfonso Núñez, who was the eldest son of Nuño Velázquez and Fronilde Sánchez. In a charter of the monastery of Sahagún dated 1104, however, Alfonso is named alongside his siblings Menendo, Elvira, and Sancho, with no mention of a Gómez.〔Barton (1997), 256.〕 In other sources Gómez's brother is named Fernando. In a document of 1127 this Fernando names his father as Nuño Menéndez, probably a cousin of Nuño Velázquez. According to one Portuguese historian, Gómez's mother was Sancha Viegas, daughter of Egas Gómez,〔Almeida Fernandes (1978), on the chart between pp. 64–65, followed by Barton (1997), 256.〕 but she is not recorded as the wife of either Nuño Velázquez or Nuño Menéndez, whose wife, who appears with her husband in a charter a few days before his death in 1071, was Goncinha (Goncina).〔Mattoso (1981), 115.〕 Nuño Menéndez rebelled against García II of Galicia in 1071 and was defeated and killed.〔The principal source for this is the ''Chronica Gothorum''. Although the date forces Gómez and Fernando's birth dates before 1071, there is no other known Nuño Menéndez of the era, cf. Barton (1997), 256.〕 Gómez married Elvira Pérez, daughter of Pedro Fróilaz de Traba and Mayor Rodríguez de Bárcena, by 1117 at the latest. His children were Fernando and María, who married Fernando Yáñez. This marriage alliance introduced Fernando into the highest circle of Spanish politics.〔It is recorded in the ''Historia compostelana'', cf. Barton (1997), 37.〕 The first record of Gómez dates from March 1110, when he held the fortress of São Cristóvão on behalf of Henry, Count of Portugal. He was still holding it the next year (1111). By April 1112 he held the office of majordomo,〔His full title was ''maiordomus palatii ipsius comitis'' (majordomo of the palace of count), cf. Bishko (1965), 328.〕 the highest at court, and he remained with Portuguese court even after Henry's death, until 1114.〔 By November 1115 he held the rank of count (''comes''), the highest title in the kingdom, and was back in Galicia. where he swore an oath to defend Diego Gelmírez's rights under a recent treaty with the queen. In 1116 Urraca launched an attack on Gómez's Galician lands, but it was repulsed with the aid of Pedro Fróilaz and Theresa, who besieged her in Sobroso.〔Reilly (1982), 110.〕 In 1117 Gómez aided in the suppression of the revolt of the citizens of Santiago de Compostela. In 1118 he was serving Alfonso, still in opposition to his mother, as ''alcalde'' of Talavera de la Reina.〔Reilly (1982), 291.〕 That year he was with the army that he forced Alfonso the Battler out of Castile and subsequently declared Alfonso VII ''rex Hispaniae'' ("King of Spain") at Toledo.〔Bishko (1965), 329.〕 In 1121 he rejoined the other defenders of Diego Gelmírez in Compostela to reaffirm the pact of 1115. 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「Gómez Núñez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
