Suero Vermúdez
Suero Vermúdez (or Bermúdez) (died 12 August 1138) was an Asturian nobleman, extensive landowner, patron of churches, territorial governor, and military leader. He was an important man in León and Castile during the reigns of three monarchs—Alfonso VI, Urraca, and Alfonso VII—all of whom he served with notable loyalty, never taking part in any revolt, but aiding his sovereigns in wars against rebels, against rivals, and against the Moors. The primary sources for the life of Suero are the contemporary narratives the ''Historia compostellana'' and the ''Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris'' and some 150 surviving charters which make mention of, were drawn up by, or confirmed by Suero. Suero held extensive interests in ecclesiastical properties. Out of his enormous wealth he was a generous patron of monasteries, and appears to have favoured the Benedictines and the Cluniac reform. The ''Chronica'' describes Suero, one of the few noblemen it praises, as "a man strong in counsel and a seeker of truth" and "a lover of peace and truth and a faithful friend of the king".〔Barton (2000), quoting ''CAI'', I, §2 (''vir in consilio strenuus, veritatisque inquisitor'') and §16. Cf. also Fletcher (1978), 162.〕
==Under Alfonso VI==
"Vermúdez", also spelled Bermúdez, is a patronymic. It indicates that Suero's father was named Vermudo. He was in fact the eldest son of Bermudo Ovéquiz, son of Oveco Vermúdez and Elvira Suárez, and Jimena Peláez, daughter of Pelayo Fróilaz and Aldonza (Eldoncia) Ordóñez.〔Barton (1997), 300–1.〕〔Sánchez Candeira (1950), 494–95, gives his mother the name María.〕 Suero was related—it is not known how—to Rodrigo Vermúdez, a majordomo early in the reign of Alfonso VII (1127–30),〔Fletcher (1984), 254. Reilly (1982), 220, suggests they were brothers. Rodrigo also confirmed some seventeen diplomas issued by Urraca.〕 and his younger brother Muño was briefly the majordomo of Urraca in September 1109.〔Reilly (1982), 58.〕 He was also a great-grandson of ''infante'' Ordoño Ramírez son of King Ramiro III of León, and ''infanta'' Cristina Bermúdez, daughter of Bermudo II of León, and thus a descendant of royalty and very distant relative of his contemporary sovereigns. Cristina had founded the Benedictine monastery of San Salvador at Cornellana in 1024 and it had been divided up between her heirs.〔Barton (1997), 215–16.〕 Regaining complete control of the monastery and its properties would be a major preoccupation of Suero. Besides his descent from King Vermudo II, Suero could claim descent from Vermudo's enemy in Galicia, Count Suero Gundemáriz. Suero is commonly referred to in contemporary documents simply and unambiguously as "Count Suero" (''Comes Suarius''), without reference to his father.〔For example, he confirms eighteen royal diplomas of Queen Urraca as Suero Vermúdez and another thirteen as just Count Suero, cf. Reilly (1982), 220.〕
The earliest secure reference to Suero is as a young man in 1092. There is a mangled record of a donation by Suero to the monastery of Lourenzá dated 10 March 1094, but which, if accurate, must be dated later than 1100, since Suero appears in the donation with a title he did not then possess.〔 According to a document dated 28 March 1098, Suero was then serving Count Raymond of Galicia as armiger or standard-bearer (''alférez''). There is no other mention of this appointment, although a certain Suero Núñez who was his ''alférez'' on 1 May 1096 may be the same person with his patronymic erroneously copied.〔Reilly (1988), 277.〕 There is also only one record of Suero's first ''tenencia'', a jurisdictional fief held directly from the crown and at royal pleasure. According to a charter copied into the ''tumbo'' (cartulary) of Lourenzá, Suero was governing Vilarente on 28 August 1099.〔 He may also have governed Monterroso, an important fief in Galicia, under Count Raymond.〔Reilly (1982), 219–20.〕 By 1 April 1101 he was a count (''comes''), the highest rank in the kingdom, bestowed only by the sovereign. During the rest of the reign of Alfonso VI Suero held only one other ''tenencia'': Rábade, where he is known to have been ruling between 23 January and 5 March 1104.〔
