Jimeno (Navarre)

Jimeno Garcés († May 29, 931 ) was King of Navarre from the House of Jiménez from 925 to 931 .

He was the younger son of García (II.) Jiménez and his second wife Dadildis von Pallars. The father was probably a member of the Basque house of Íñigo Arista and was perhaps identical to a king of the same name from the middle of the 9th century. After the death of his older brother Sancho I. Garcés in 925, Jimeno took over the reign in place of his underage nephew García I. A document from the Abbey of San Martín de Albelda dated January 11, 931 shows that Jimeno had the title of king. He died on May 29, 931. After that, his half-brother Íñigo Garcés initially took over the reign until he was ousted by his sister-in-law Toda Aznárez in 933.
