Galindo Garcés
Galindo Garcés was a count in the Spanish march in the early 9th century.
The origin of Count Galindo Garcés remains obscure. He is only known from a document that documents a donation from him (Galindo comes, filius Garsiani) and his wife (Guldreguth) to the Abbey of San Pedro de Siresa . This document was dated November 25th during the reign of Emperor Ludwig the Pious (814–840). Whether it is to be equated with the Domnus Galindo, gratia Dei commes known from an earlier document (808-821) , cannot be unequivocally clarified.
The Abbey of San Pedro de Siresa, mentioned for the first time in both documents, is located in the Valle de Hecho and belonged to the administrative area of the Counts of Aragón . Whether Galindo Garcés officiated as Count in Aragón does not emerge from it and therefore remains questionable, especially since he is not mentioned in the genealogical summary of the Count dynasty of Aragón in the Codex de Roda . Antonio Ubieto Arteta placed his document in the period between 828 and 833, which roughly corresponds to the terms of office of Count Aznar I. Galíndez and his son-in-law García Galíndez “the evil one” . Because of this chronological proximity, Galindo Garcés can hardly have been a son of García Galíndez. And a possible common identity with Galindo I. Aznárez († after 867) - if one takes the given patronymic as an error - remains speculative, since he was probably too young for unauthorized actions at the presumed period.
