Bermudo I d'Asturies [1]

[* c.750 - † c.797]

Hijo de Fruela Pérez (hermano de Alfonso I 'el católico'), nieto del duque Pedro de Cantabria y hermano del rey Aurelio, Bermudo I, llamado 'el diácono' por su condición anterior a su entronamiento, fue rey de Asturias entre 788 o 789 y 791.

Sucesor de Mauregato tras la muerte de éste, hacia 788. Es electo rey en perjuicio del hijo de su primo Fruela I, el futuro Alfonso II 'el casto' (quien fuera depuesto por su predecesor), traspasando las leyes góticas que inhabilitaban el poder real a quienes hubieran recibido la tonsura eclesiástica, esto, ya que Bermudo profesaba en órdenes religiosas en ese momento.

Durante su reinado, Hisham I efectuó dos aceifas contra los cristianos que devastaron la región. La primera remontó el río Ebro y se adentró en Álava y al-Ailá, devastando la zona. La segunda saqueó el interior de Galicia. Cuando este último ejército volvía hacia Córdoba, Bermudo I trató de cortarle el paso cerca de Villafranca del Bierzo, a orillas del río Burbia (791), pero fue derrotado espantosamente. Ante esta situación decidió abdicar en favor se su pariente Alfonso II.

Regresa a su estado clerical, viviendo como diácono en el palacio real de Oviedo hasta su muerte, la que sucede en una fecha cercana o posterior al año 797. Pasó a la historia como un rey generoso, magnánimo e ilustrado.

MATRIMONIO Y DESCENDIENTES

Se dice que aún siendo diácono casó con Ozenda Nunilona [3], de quien se separa en 791 para retomar su vida religiosa. Con ella tuvo cuatro hijos:

1. Ramiro, futuro Rey asturiano;

2. García;

3. Cristina; y

4. Thisiena.

NOTAS

[1] Basada en el artículo de 'Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre', editada y ampliada.

[2] Existen versiones que hacen a Bermudo I 'el diácono', de Asturias, hijo de Vimarano, infante del reino de Asturias, a su vez segundo hijo de Alfonso I 'el católico' de Asturias. Vimarano habría sido asesinado por su hermano Fruela, porque le estaba ganando las simpatías de muchos y podría impedirle su propia ascensión al trono. Quizás como forma de reparar el daño, Fruela habría tomado a Bermudo y lo hace criar "como un hijo". Esta versión es tomada como 'legendaria'. Estudios contemporáneos afirman que la hipótesis presentada en la biografía aquí tratada es más verosímil.

[3] Mayormente conocida como <Numila>, aparece en las crónicas de Rodrigo de Toledo y de Lucas de Tuy como <Imilo> o <Nunilo>. Para efectos de esta biografía, se utiliza el nombre que aparece en su epitafio, donde es nombrada como Ozenda (Ursinda). Era hija de Flavio Ataúlfo, magnate gallego nieto del rey godo Witiza.

Bermudo I (o Vermudo I) de Asturias, llamado el Diácono, fue rey de Asturias del 789 al 791. Era hijo de Fruela Pérez (un hermano de Alfonso I el Católico), nieto del duque Pedro de Cantabria y hermano del rey Aurelio.

Durante su reinado el reino sufrió incursiones musulmanas en Álava y Galicia. Tras ser derrotado varias veces por tropas andalusíes de Hisham I en la batalla del río Burbia, en El Bierzo, abdicó y regresó a su antiguo estado clerical (791). Murió en una fecha cercana o posterior al año 797.

Se casó con Numila, quien en las crónicas de Rodrigo de Toledo y Lucas de Tuy es llamada Imilo o Nunilo, pero que en su epitafio es nombrada Ozenda (Ursinda). Era hija de Flavio Ataúlfo, magnate gallego nieto del rey godo Witiza. Su hijo fue Ramiro. Éste, más adelante, obtendría también la corona (842) tras el reinado anterior de Alfonso II, que fue quien sucedió a Bermudo I.

Pasó a la historia como un rey generoso, magnánimo e ilustrado.

Bermudo I (also Vermudo or Veremund) was the king of Asturias from 788 or 789 to 791. His nickname, the Deacon, was supposedly given because of his having been a deacon before becoming king. He was a son of Fruela, brother of King Alfonso I, and brother of King Aurelius.

The rest of his reign saw Moorish raids into Álava and Galicia. He was defeated badly at Bierzo and abdicated the throne in 791, returning to his frock. Nevertheless, he was considered a generous and illustrious man in his time.

Bermudo I (also Vermudo or Veremund), called the Deacon or the Monk, was the King of Asturias from 788 or 789 until his abdication in 791. He was a son of Fruela, brother of Alfonso I, and a brother of Aurelius. The nature of the end of his reign ushered in a new period in Asturian-Arab relations.

Bermudo was elected by the palatine officials (the nobility of the royal palace) to replace Mauregatus, who had died of natural causes in 788. Since Mauregatus had ascended the throne in a coup d'état with regional support in 783 and the succession of Bermudo proceeded without incident, it is probable that Mauregatus had procured a change in the ranks of the palatine nobility and that Bermudo was thus put forward as the candidate to, like Mauregatus, prevent the succession of Alfonso II, the son and heir of Fruela I. Though the Chronicle of Alfonso III in both its extant versions makes Bermudo out to be a deacon at his succession, this fact would only reinforce the notion that his election was a determined move to oppose Alfonso.

In any case, he did not reign long. He was forced to defend against an Arab-Berber invasion of Álava and Galicia and was defeated in battle in Burbia, probably the Bierzo, in 791. Though the closest Christian sources do not name his opponents, the battle can be linked with the first major engagement of a series of aggressive campaigns launched against the Asturian kingdom in the 790s. The Muslim commander at Burbia is named in Ibn al-Athir as Yūsuf ibn Bukht and the battle is likewise recorded in al-Maqqarī. Bermudo abdicated his throne after his defeat, though whether volitionally (as the Chronicle of Alfonso III states, "because he was [or remembered he was] a deacon") or forced is unknown. Historically in Spain under the Visigoths, a king of proven military inadequacy was often forced to abdicate. Nevertheless, he was considered a generous and illustrious man in his time, "merciful and pious" in the words of the Chronicle of Albelda.

Bermudo was succeeded by Alfonso II and he left behind a son, who later reigned as Ramiro I, by an anonymous wife. He reportedly lived for a long time after his abdication, perhaps as a monk, and on good terms with his successor.

---

Ramiro I (c.790–850) became King of Asturias in 842 and reigned until his death. Son of Bermudo I, he succeeded Alfonso II.

First, he had to deal with the usurper Nepocian, defeating him at the Battle of the Bridge of Cornellana, by the river Narcea. Ramiro then removed the system of election which allowed his family to be displaced by a faction of nobles.

During his turbulent reign, the chronicles relate that he had to fend off attacks from both the Moors and the Vikings. Supposedly, he defeated the former in the legendary Battle of Clavijo. At this battle, Saint James the Greater, the Moor-Slayer, appeared above a white horse, giving rise to his cult in Spain.

In 846, the Christian population of León fled before a Moorish attack, and it was not reoccupied until 856, under Ordono I.

The art and architecture of his reign forms the Ramirense phase of Asturian art. His court was the centre of great splendour, of which the palace and church of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo are testimony.

Ramiro died at Liño and was succeeded by his son, the aforementioned Ordoño.

Project MedLands, ASTURIAS LEON

VERMUDO, son of FRUELA & his wife --- ([750]-797, bur Oviedo[143]). The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Veremundus, subrinus Adefonsi majoris, filius…Froilani fratris sui" succeeded as king on the death of "Maurecato"[144]. The Chronicle of Alfonso III records that "Vermudo the son of Fruela" was elected king after the death of Mauregato, and ruled for three years when "he voluntarily gave up his rule because he was a deacon" and installed "his nephew Alfonso as his successor and lived with him most lovingly for many years" before dying "a natural death…in the era 829 (791)"[145], although this date appears to refer to Vermudo's abdication not his death. He was elected in 788 to succeed King Maugerato as VERMUDO I “el Diácono” King of Asturias. With the accession in 788 of Hisham I Emir of Córdoba, who according to Arab sources was "passionate about the holy war", Muslim attacks on the Christians intensified. The Emir sent two armies into battle in 791[146]. King Vermudo was defeated by the Muslims on the banks of the River Burbia[147] and abdicated in 791 in favour of Alfonso II, becoming a deacon. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Veremundus" was deposed and became a deacon, and that "filiis parvulis Ranimiro et Garcia" were also expelled[148].

m [OZENDA [Adosinda/Imilo], daughter of --- (-[bur Oviedo]). Confusion exists about King Vermudo´s wife, who is named only in later sources. Flórez cites the epitaph of the monastery of San Juan de Corias which records the transfer of the remains of "Ozenda" with her husband Vermudo from Ciella to Corias, suggesting that "Ozenda" was an abbreviated form of "Adosinda"[149]. Barrau-Dihigo points out that the inscription is from a later date, if not falsified[150]. Lucas de Tuy names "Nunilo Regina Oueti" as wife of King Vermudo I and mother of his two sons "Ramiro et Garsia", when recording that she was buried with her husband[151]. The name “Nunilo...Oueti” suggests confusion with the wife of King Fruela I, who is named in the Sebastiani Chronicon "Munia Oveti" (see above)[152]. The 13th century work by Rodrigo de Toledo names the wife of King Vermudo as "Imilo" when referring to her burial with her husband at Oviedo[153].]

King Vermudo I & his wife had [three] children:

• 1. RAMIRO ([790]-1 Feb 850, bur Oviedo). The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Veremundus" was deposed and became a deacon, and that "filiis parvulis Ranimiro et Garcia" were also expelled[154].
• 2. [CRISTINA . She is named in the inscription of San Juan de Corias which names her supposed parents, although as noted above Barrau-Dihigo points out that this is from a later date, if not falsified[183].]
• 3. GARCÍA (-after [842/44]). The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Veremundus" was deposed and became a deacon, and that "filiis parvulis Ranimiro et Garcia" were also expelled[184]. “Ranemirus Rex et…coniuncta Urraca Regina et filio nostro Rege Ordonio et fratre meo Rege Garsia” donated property to the church of Santiago by charter “VIII Kal Jun” dated to 844[185]. Barrau-Dihigo dismisses as fictive this alleged son García[186], presumably because he considers that this charter is spurious.

Filho de Fruela da Cantábria, foi Rei das Astúrias de 788 até a 791. A sua alcunha, o Diácono, deve-se ao facto de ser diácono antes e depois de ter subido ao trono. Considerado como um rei generoso, magnânimo e iluminado, para a época, subiu ao trono depois da morte em 788 do rei Mauregato. Os primeiros dois anos do seu reinado foram pacíficos, mas na primavera de 791 sofreu varios ataques muçulmanos em Álava, Castela e na Galiza. Após uma dura derrota em Abril de 791 causada pelas tropas atacantes que provinham das hostes andaluezes de Hisham I al-Ándalus em El Bierzo, decidiu que era necessário para reinar um homem mais jovem. Abdicou do trono em o seu sobrinho Afonso II que foi ungido rei em 14 de Setembro do mesmo ano.
