Ramiro Fróilaz (''floruit'' 1120–1169) was a Leonese magnate, statesman, and military leader. He was a dominant figure in the kingdom during the reigns of Alfonso VII and Ferdinand II. He was primarily a territorial governor, but also a court figure, connected to royalty both by blood and by marriage. The military exploits of his sovereigns involved him against both the neighbouring kingdoms of Navarre and Portugal and in the ''Reconquista'' of the lands of al-Andalus. ==Family== Ramiro was the eldest son of Fruela Díaz and Estefanía Sánchez of the Navarrese royal house, daughter of Sancho Garcés, Lord of Uncastillo. Ramiro's first wife was Inés (Agnès), perhaps a member of the French royal house or the family of the Counts of Armagnac. She was buried in the church of San Isidoro de León, where her epitaph names her husband and describes her as "descended from the kings of France".〔Barton (1997), 228 n2, citing F. de Cadenas Allende, "Los Flagínez: una familia leonesa de hace mil años," ''Estudios genealógicos, heráldicos y nobiliarios en honor de Vicente de Cadenas y Vicente'', 2 vols. (Madrid, 1978), I, 208 n113. Cf. in the Medieval Lands Project, also citing Cadenas.〕 She was the mother of his eldest two sons, Alfonso and Fruela. On 22 September 1150 Ramiro gave these two the bridewealth (''arras'') which he had neglected to give their mother before her death.〔Barton (1997), 54, who includes an edition of the original charter in Appendix III, iv, p. 313.〕 Ramiro's second wife was Sancha, an obscure woman whose origins are unknown. She gave him a son and a daughter: García〔He served as the ''alférez'' of Ferdinand II from 1168 to 1170, and in 1171 he donated the villages of Valdoré, Corniero, Remolina, and Primajas to the abbey of Arbas. He was still alive in 1178. His death (undated) and burial at San Isidoro in León are recorded in that church's obituary, cf. Barton (1992), 248–49, and Canal Sánchez-Pagín (1986), 34.〕 and Estefanía, who married Ponce de Minerva. On the occasion of her marriage, the king and Ramiro gave Ponce their respective halves of the village of Carrizo de la Ribera, where Estefanía later erected a monastery (1176).〔Barton (1992), 248–49, quotes the pertinent part of the charter in n83: ''Quod quando domino imperatore adduxit suam coniugem imperatricem, adduxit cum ea comite Poncio de Menerua et desponsauit eum cum comitissa domna Stephania, filia comite Ramiro, et dedit ei medietatem Karrizo que erat rengalengo ut dedisset sponsam suam pro arras. Et dedit illi aliam hereditatem que iacet inter Quintanella et Karrizo et dicitur earn Quiro. Et alia medietatem de Karrizo erat de comite Ramiro et dedit earn ad illum cum filia sua in casamento''.〕 Estefanía and Ponce's only son was named Ramiro after his grandfather. Ramiro's third wife was Elo (Eilo) Álvarez, daughter of Álvar Fáñez and Mayor Pérez and widow of Rodrigo Fernández de Castro. She was named after her maternal grandmother, Elo Alfonso, wife of Pedro Ansúrez.〔Barton (1997), 288–89.〕 This last marriage extended Ramiro's influence into the Tierra de Campos.〔Barton (1997), 49.〕 Ramiro also controlled the marriages of his close kin. When his niece Estefanía Díaz married without his consent sometime before September 1150 he confiscated her lands.〔Barton (1997), 51.〕 The deed disinheriting her is the only surviving reference to Ramiro's second wife and also the earliest to his third wife.〔According to 〕 On 1 June 1153 Ramiro and his wife Elo terminated a dispute with his sister, María Fróilaz, and her husband, Pedro Alfonso, over the water source at a certain Villanueva.〔 Also that year Ramiro granted an estate at Villaseca to García Pérez and his wife, Teresa Pérez, as a reward for their loyal service.〔The original grant still survives, and is edited in Barton (1997), Appendix III, vi, pp. 314–15.〕 García, a son of Pedro Martínez and grandson of Martín Flaínez, served as a knight in Ramiro's household. García was also a loyal servant of the king, who granted him largesse on three occasions.〔Barton (1997), 38, 91.〕 Teresa later (1177) founded the Cistercian monastery of Gradefes, and it is in the records of this establishment that Ramiro's gift can be read.〔García and Teresa left a daughter, Gontrodo García, who married Tello Pérez de Meneses, another minor nobleman of the Tierra de Campos, cf.
