Aznar Sánchez (Gascony)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aznar Sánchez († 836 ) was a count of Gascony in the early 9th century.

Aznar is sometimes equated with the Count of Aragon , Aznar I. Galíndez . However, a document dated around the year 835, in which he subordinates the town of Cazaux to the Abbey of Pessan , shows him as the son of a Sancho (Comite Azenario-Sancio) . Aznar is referred to as the "Count of this side Vasconia" (Asenarius quoque citerioris Wasconiae) , who apostate his immediate overlord, King Pippin I of Aquitaine , in 836 and therefore died a cruel death. However, his brother Sancho was able to succeed him in Gascon against Pippin's will.

Remarks

  1. ↑ So from the editor of the Vita Hludowici Imperatoris des Astronomus , who referred to him as "Count of Jaca " (Asenarius comes de Iacca) and ascribed to him a daughter who married a descendant of the old Aquitanian ducal house and founder of the Alaon Abbey. However, this information is most likely based on the Alaon Charter , which turned out to be a fake.
