''Pulcher ut Absalon, virtute potens quasi Sanson, instructisque bonis, documenta tenet Salomonis''. "He is handsome as Absalom, as strong as Samson, and he possesses the wisdom of Solomon." —''Poema de Almería'', vv. 117–18〔Glenn Edward Lipskey, ed., (''The Chronicle of Alfonso the Emperor: A Translation of the ''Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris ) (PhD dissertation, Northwestern University, 1972) is the translation used throughout, also of the ''Poema de Almería'', published in the same volume.〕 Pedro Alfonso or Alfónsez ((ラテン語:Petrus Adefonsi); ''floruit'' 1126–1173)〔Simon Barton, ''The Aristocracy in Twelfth-century León and Castile'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997), 273 n1. The first documentary record of Pedro is from December 1128 and the last dates to 23 September 1173.〕 was an Asturian magnate, dominating the region from 1139 until his death. He had vast landholdings in the Asturias, the province of León, and Toledo, including in the cities of León and Toledo, the most important cities of the realm.〔Barton, 70 and 80.〕 His commercial dealings, too, were extensive and a sign of his economic power. He loyally served Alfonso VII and his son Ferdinand II militarily and diplomatically from 1128 until his death. ==Family== Pedro was the son of Alfonso Vermúdez, himself the son of Bermudo Ovéquiz of the Vela family and Jimena Peláez, and Urraca Raimúndez, possibly the daughter of Raymond the Fratricide who had to flee Navarre after participating in the murder of his brother king Sancho IV of Navarre in 1076. 〔Salazar y Acha in the article on the name Urraca.〕 Pedro took as his first wife María Fróilaz, daughter of Froila Díaz and widow of Melendo Núñez. Her mother, Estefanía Sánchez, was a daughter of Sancho, the illegitimate half-brother of Sancho IV of Navarre. They were married by 30 November 1143 and were still together as late as 4 October 1164.〔Barton, 273 n4.〕 They had one daughter named Elvira Pérez, who was Pedro's primary heiress. In December 1174 Elvira donated her father's former estates in Santa Marina and Villaverde to the Order of Calatrava.〔Barton, 273.〕 On 26 June 1175 she made a donation to the Order of Santiago of the "houses, baths, ovens, lands, vineyards, orchards, and gardens" in Toledo as well as the lands in Azaña that she had inherited from her "illustrious" father.〔Barton, 81.〕 By 7 September 1170, when they made a grant to the monastery of Santa María de Lapedo, Pedro had remarried to Sancha Fernández, daughter of count Fernando Pérez de Traba and Theresa, Countess of Portugal, since 1167 the widow of Álvaro Rodríguez. She was a generous benefactress of various religious institutions, giving to Sobrado, Caabeiro, and Meira between 1157 and 1171. By April 1178 she was remarried to Gonzalo Ruiz, when she granted the ''arras'' she had received from Pedro to the Knights Hospitaller. Additionally, some properties on the river Esla owned by Sancha's sons by Álvaro, Rodrigo and Vermudo, appear to have derived from Pedro's properties.〔Barton, 50.〕 She was still alive on 9 March 1181.〔For Sancha, cf. Barton, 230 n3. Pedro and his wife had made a donation to the Hospitallers earlier, in 1173, cf. Barton, 274 n22.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pedro Alfonso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
