Gómez González de Manzanedo y de Alexir, III Señor de Manzanedo

English Wikipedia

Gómez González de Manzanedo (died 12 October 1182) was a Castilian magnate who governed Calahorra and defended the border with Navarre in the 1150s and 1160s. He spent three periods in the neighbouring Kingdom of León.

Gómez's parentage is unknown, other than that his patronymic indicates his father was named Gonzalo. The longstanding reconstruction making him son of Gonzalo Ruiz of La Bureba is unlikely on chronological grounds (Gonzalo outlived him by twenty-three years). He may have been the son of Gonzalo Gómez, uncle of Gonzalo Ruiz and son of count Gómez González de Candespina.[1] Sometime before May 1162 Gómez married Amilia (Milia/Melia) Pérez, daughter of Pedro González de Lara and Eva.[2] His wife was still living in May 1182, months before his own death. Their children were Diego, Elvira, Gil, Gonzalo, Inés, Juan, Manrique, and Jimena, who married Pedro Fernández de Castro.[3]

Gómez is first mentioned in a document of 9 November 1148, during the reign of Alfonso VII. In 1155 he was given the tenencia of Paredes to govern. Between June 1155 and August 1156 he served Sancho III, then ruling part of Castile from Nájera, as alférez, a post typically reserved for younger noblemen.[3] He was promoted to the office of majordomo by March 1157. After the death of Alfonso VII in August 1157, Sancho, then ruling all of Castile, appointed Gómez to govern the Liébana in northwestern Castile, which he did until 1170. In March 1158 he was appointed to govern Calahorra, an important city in eastern Castile, which he held as late as 1171.[3] In July 1158 he lost the post of majordomo and was appointed alférez again. That fall he defended Calahorra from the incursions of Sancho VI of Navarre.[4]

There is some confusion regarding Gómez's whereabouts after Sancho's death on 31 August 1158. He held the tenencia of Pernía in Castile between 1162 and 1164. After that a certain Gómez González, called castellanus ("the Castilian"), entered the service of Ferdinand II of León, whom he served as majordomo from October 1164 to July 1165. This is probably the Gómez who had served Sancho in the same capacity, but there was another Gómez González who regularly attended the court of Alfonso VIII of Castile during this same year.[3]

By October 1165 Gómez had returned to Castile, where he was granted the tenencias of Baró and Cereceda, the latter which he retained until 1169. In 1168 he was granted the tenencias of Abba Alua (unidentified), Villafranca, and Campo (held into 1172). That year he made a donation to the Knights Hospitaller.[3] By 28 December 1169 Gómez had attained the rank of count, the highest in the kingdom of Castile.[3] In 1172 he was governing the Asturias de Santillana, the eastern half of the Asturias, allocated to Castile by Alfonso VII, as well as Cervera, Mudá, and Piedras Negras. In April 1173 the former majordomo of Sancho was appointed majordomo by Alfonso, but at the time he appears to have been in Galicia, where between March and November that year he was governing Monforte de Lemos and Monterroso. He appears to have returned to León in August 1180 and remained there until March 1181. He is last mentioned in a Castilian document of 9 September 1181, over a year before his reported death. A charter from 1184 claims to record a donation of Gómez to San Salvador de Oña.[3]

Gómez González de Manzanedo (c. 1130-12 October 1182)1 was a rich Castilian man grandson of Count Gómez González of Candespina and descendant of the Counts of Castile. Ensign and then butler of King Sancho III, count of Alfonso VIII, also senior butler of Ferdinand II of León, and governor of several estates, is the genealogy of two of the most important lineages of the Middle Ages: the Manrique and the Manzanedo.

Family relationships

Count Gómez González had three sons;

• one named Diego who had no descendants,
• Rodrigo Gómez, father of Count Gonzalo Rodríguez de Bureba, and
• Gonzalo Gómez.

The latter is the one that several modern historians and genealogists consider to be the father of Gómez González de Manzanedo.2 3

Although other medievalists thought that he was the son of Gonzalo Rodríguez de Bureba, in reality, his first cousin, this affiliation is impossible since both were contemporaries and Gómez was only ten years younger than Gonzalo.a He probably had two brothers.

Life

A member of the royal curia, Gómez appears for the first time in medieval documentation in 1146 during the reign of Sancho III of Castile of whom he was a royal ensign and then, between 1157 and 1158 his butler.6 Between 1164 and 1165 he replaced Fernando Rodríguez de Castro as butler of Fernando II of León. In the documentation of León, he appears with the nickname of "the Castilian" to differentiate him from his namesake and contemporary the Galician count Gómez González de Traba1 In 1169, back in Castile, he received the condal dignity from Alfonso VIII.7

He governed several tenures for different periods, some on his own and others shared, including Calahorra, Liébana, La Pernía, Mudá, Cervera, Villafranca, Alba, today an uninhabited near Cervera de Pisuerga, Piedras Negras, Cereceda (in Burgos), Asturias de Santillana and Castilla la Vieja that was later

He died on October 12, 1182 as stated in the obituary of the Cathedral of Burgos.1

Marriage and descent

From Count Gómez's marriage to Milia Pérez de Lara come the Manrique and the Villalobos. His wife was Milia Pérez de Lara, daughter of Pedro González de Lara and Countess Ava. Luis de Salazar y Castro and other genealogists considered her the daughter of Count Manrique Pérez de Lara, of whom she was actually a sister. Historian Gonzalo Martínez Díez has been able to clarify the true affiliation of Milia based on medieval documentation and his conclusions have been accepted by most modern historians and genealogists.1 10 11

Thus, according to Martínez Díez, the Manrique lineage does not come from Rodrigo Pérez de Lara or Molina, son of Pedro Manrique de Lara, who spent most of his life in Narbonne where he appears in the documentation until 1208 and did not participate in the events of the kingdoms of the Iberian peninsula. The traditional genealogy, accepted by genealogists such as Luis de Salazar y Castro, was the proposal by Fernán Pérez de Guzmán for whom "This line of the Manrique is one of the oldest and oldest in Castile (...) they come from Count Manrique, son of Pedro de Lara." 12 The confusion is due to the existence of two homonyms: Rodrigo Pérez de Molina mentioned above, and

Counts Gómez and Milia were parents of six children, all documented: 13

1. Gil Gómez (d. c. 1197) was a lieutenant in Aguilar, Asturias de Santillana, and in Castilla la Vieja. It is not known who he married, but he had a son named Pedro Gil.1 14
2. Jimena Gómez de Manzanedo, 14 the first wife of Pedro Fernández de Castro el Castellano.
3. Inés Gómez de Manzanedo (d. after 1208), married to Fernando Ruiz Duc.14 b
4. Diego Gómez de Manzanedo. He had a son named Ruy Díaz de la Vega, who is considered the founder of the Casa de la Vega.
5. Manrique Gómez de Manzanedo (m. before 1204).15 He married before 1192 with Toda Vélaz with whom he had: Gómez Manrique, master of the Order of Calatrava; Rodrigo Manrique de Lara, first lord of Amusco;15 16 Gil Manrique, husband of Teresa Fernández de Villalobos, from whom the Villalobos come; 17 and María
6. Pedro Gómez de Manzanedo.

Notes

a. "Cond Gómez González de Manzanedo cannot be the son of Count Gonzalo Roiz de Bureba for chronological reasons: Gómez is younger than Gonzalo in about 10 years. The first was born c. 1120 and the second c. 1130. Both lead an almost parallel life. Gómez dies in 1182, Gonzalo in 1202. The first diploma in which Gómez appears is from 1146, and the first in which Gonzalo appears is from 1149. This is Sancho III's ensign very young (1149) and that is ensign of the same in 1155. Gómez is Count with Alfonso VIII in 1170, Gonzalo in 1174. The two appear together in many diplomas, as if indicating that both are carnal cousins. And his relatives also appear around him: the Cevallos, Pedro González and Rodrigo González. This is ensign of Alfonso VIII in 1161, possibly these are Gómez's brothers." Cfr. Canal Sánchez-Pagín (2003), p. 57

b. In some genealogies he appears as the wife of William VIII of Montpellier, who is known to have married an Inés, a Castilian, but it was not this one. Inés appears in medieval documentation on several occasions, for example: in 1184 in the Monastery of Aguilar de Campo together with her husband Fernando Roiz Duc selling an inheritance in the alfoz of Aguilar; two years later in 1186 again with her husband in Santa Cruz de Valcárcel making a donation to Doña Elo and her convent; in 1195 with her son Rodrigo Fernández property located in Melgarejo. All this shows that her husband's name was Fernando Roiz and that he lived in Castile.

La única rama que deriva de la casa de Lara cuya descendencia llegó más allá de la Edad Media fue la de los Manrique de Lara, por línea femenina a través de Milia Pérez de Lara casada con el conde Gómez González de Manzanedo. En el siglo XV, los Lara apoyaron a los Reyes Católicos durante la guerra contra los partidarios de Juana la Beltraneja. La casa de Manrique de Lara ostentó algunos de los más importantes títulos de Castilla como los de duque de Nájera y marqués de Aguilar de Campoo, todos ellos en posesión de la Grandeza de España.

En 1520, Carlos I de España distinguió a la Casa de Lara con la dignidad de la Grandeza de España en las personas de sus más relevantes representantes, el duque de Nájera y el marqués de Aguilar de Campoo, distinción más adelante otorgada también al conde de Paredes de Nava y el conde de Osorno.

Durante los reinados de Carlos I y Felipe II los Manrique de Lara desempeñaron importantes cargos como virreyes, capitanes generales, embajadores y cardenales. Fueron de esta casa también varios miembros de la jerarquía de la Iglesia católica y numerosos caballeros de las órdenes militares y del Toisón de Oro, como el I Conde de Paredes de Nava que llegó a ser Maestre de la Orden de Santiago.

Pertenecieron también a los Manrique de Lara literatos como Gómez Manrique o el inmortal Jorge Manrique.

Gómez González de Manzanedo (c. 1130-12 de octubre de 1182)1 fue un ricohombre castellano nieto del conde Gómez González el de Candespina y descendiente de los condes de Castilla. Alférez y después mayordomo del rey Sancho III, conde por Alfonso VIII, también mayordomo mayor de Fernando II de León, y gobernador de varias tenencias, es el genearca de dos de los linajes más importantes de la Edad Media: los Manrique y los Manzanedo.

Su abuelo, el conde Gómez González, tuvo tres hijos varones; uno llamado Diego que no tuvo descendencia, Rodrigo Gómez, padre del conde Gonzalo Rodríguez de Bureba, y Gonzalo Gómez. Este último es el que varios historiadores y genealogistas modernos consideran como el padre de Gómez González de Manzanedo. Aunque otros medievalistas opinaban que fue hijo de Gonzalo Rodríguez de Bureba, en realidad, su primo hermano, esta filiación es imposible ya que ambos eran contemporáneos y Gómez era solamente diez años más joven que Gonzalo.

Tuvo probablemente dos hermanos, Pedro González, llamado de Villaescusa, y Rodrigo González de Cevallos, que también fue alférez real entre 1160 y 1171.

Miembro de la curia regia, Gómez aparece por primera vez en la documentación medieval en 1146 durante el reinado de Sancho III de Castilla de quien fue alférez real y después, entre 1157 y 1158 su mayordomo. Entre 1164 y 1165 sustituyó a Fernando Rodríguez de Castro como mayordomo de Fernando II de León. En la documentación leonesa, aparece con el sobrenombre de «el castellano» para diferenciarlo de su homónimo y coetáneo el conde gallego Gómez González de Traba. En 1169, ya de vuelta en Castilla, recibió de Alfonso VIII la dignidad condal.

Gobernó varias tenencia durante diferentes periodos, algunas por su cuenta y otras compartidas, entre ellas Calahorra, Liébana, La Pernía, Mudá, Cervera, Villafranca, Alba, hoy un despoblado cerca de Cervera de Pisuerga, Piedras Negras, Cereceda (en Burgos), Asturias de Santillana y Castilla la Vieja que después fue gobernada por su hijo Gil Gómez. Fue también un rico hacendado en varios lugares, especialmente en el Valle de Manzanedo que dio nombre a su linaje.

Falleció el 12 de octubre de 1182 según consta en el obituario de la Catedral de Burgos.
