	Bermudo III of León - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bermudo III (1010–4 September 1037), king of León (1028–4 September 1037), son of Alfonso V of León by his wife Elvira Mendes, was the last scion of Peter of Cantabria to rule in the Leonese kingdom.
		In 1029, Count García II Sánchez of Castile was about to be married to Sancha of León, the sister of Bermudo, an arrangement apparently sanctioned by the king of Navarre, when the count was murdered in the city of León.
		Sancho III of Navarre then claimed the county of Castile in his wife's name and installed in it their son, Ferdinand, as the new count of Castile.

		It is, however, known that, after having fought with Ramiro II against the Arabs, and after the battle of Simancas and the retreat of Abdérraman, this count, dissatisfied, as it appears, because the King of Leon distributed his troops in the frontier towns, rose in rebellion against him.
		His son, García Sánchez, gave one of his sisters, Elvira, in marriage to Sancho the Great of Navarre, and another, Jimena, to Bermudo III of Leon, and was himself about to marry Sancha, Bermudo's sister, when he was assassinated by the Velas, Counts of Alava.
		Pedro III, "The Great" (El Grande, 1276-85), after the Sicilian Vespers took possession of Sicily as heir of the Hohenstaufen, and the wars and disputes which followed in Italy, and the dissensions of the Aragonese nobles occupied the reigns of Alfonso III (1285-91), Jaime II, Alfonso IV (1327-36), and Pedro IV (1336-87).

		He was barely in his teens when he was put in possession of Castile in 1028 or 1029 with his father's backing, on the murder of the last count, as the heir of his mother Munia, daughter of a previous count of Castile and sister of the deceased count.
		That count, Don García, was about to be married to Doña Sancha, sister of Bermudo III, king of León, but was assassinated as he was entering the church of St John the Baptist in León by a party of Castilian nobles, exiles from their own land, who had taken refuge in León.
		The use of the title was resented by the Emperor Henry III and Pope Victor II in 1055 as implying a claim to the headship of Christendom and as a usurpation of the Roman Empire.

		For Bermudo II the sors regni, the 'luck' or fortune of the kingdom, is assured by the intercession of St. James.
		Alfonso III's collaborator in promoting the cult, bishop Sisnando, had received a grant of land from the king as early as 883 for the [79] foundation of a church in honour of St. James in the region of the Asturias, the area of which Sisnando was a native.
		Alfonso III granted land near Alcoba de la Rivera, not far from León, to St. James in 885, and in his charter referred to the nearby 'road which the merchants (cives) of Galicia are accustomed to use in their comings and goings'.

	Bermudo Iii Of Leon
		In 1034, he wrested the city of LeÃ³n itself from Bermudo, who retreated into Galicia, and began to style himself ''Imperator'' on his coinage, the ancient style of the Leonese kings.
		By the time Sancho died in 1035, the '' meseta '' north of the Duero was dominated by the Pyrenean pocket kingdom of Navarre.
		The dynasty of Navarre had triumphed perhaps, but the united realm of Castilla-LeÃ³n, with its rimlands of Asturias and Galicia, had become the political center of the north Spanish, Christian society.

		To Ramiro, however, is due, at least, the honor of an authentic victory over the Moslem forces of the great Caliph, Abdur Rahman an Nasir (939), at Simancas, and afterward in the same year at Alhandega.
		But decapitation was a far more certain way of suppressing rebellion than matrimony; and Fernan Gonzalez lived to intrigue against his daughter and her royal husband in favor of Sancho, a younger brother of the king.
		Bermudo died in 999; and on the death of Almanzor, three years later, the Christian fortunes under the young Alfonso V., who had succeeded his father Bermudo, at the age of only five, began to mend.

		The third son of John Comnenus and a nephew of Isaac I (emperor from 1057 to 1059), Alexius came of a distinguished Byzantine landed family and was one of the military magnates who had long urged more effective defense measures, particularly against the Turks' encroaching on Byzantine provinces in eastern and central Anatolia.
		BIOGRAPHY: Irene was the wife of the Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus, known from the description of her in the Alexiad of their daughter Anna Comnena.
		It was probably fortunate for Alexius that his plan was foiled, for his repudiation of his wife would have incurred the enmity of the powerful Ducas family.

		León and Galicia were older more established kingdoms in the Northwest corner of the Peninsula, both under the control of Bermudo III when Fernando (his brother-in-law) inherited Castile in 1035.
		Fernando took Galicia and León by force, killing Bermudo in battle, so the three kingdoms were united more by mutual distrust than any higher purpose.
		When Fernando died in 1065, understanding perhaps the difficulty of keeping some of the regional rivalries in check, he partitioned his empire into three separate kingdoms and bequethed them to his sons.

		At Santiago itself, a building more substantial than the first shrine was begun in 868, but was totally destroyed in 997 by the Moors, who, however, respected the sacred relics.
		On the reconquest of the City by Bermudo III of Leon (died 1037), the roads that led pilgrims from across northern Spain to the shrine were improved, and the reputation of the shrine spread.
		The earliest recorded pilgrims from beyond the Pyrenees had visited the shrine in the Middle of the 10th century, but it seem that it was not until a century later that pilgrims from abroad were regularly journeying there in large numbers, even the first recorded pilgrims from England, between 1092 and 1105.
