Note

  1. Use the title Princeps (first citizen or prince) equivalent to leader or leader, used several times before in the history of the region. The Hispanic monarchy begins as well as a simple caudillaje.
  2. First sovereign proclaimed Rex (chuckles) However, the Asturian monarchs continue to call themselves indistinctly princes or kings.
  3. The young Alfonso II is overthrown and exiled with the Basques, a town from which his mother Munia of Álava came.
  4. He abstained after his defeat in the battle of the Burbia River.
  5. His reign transcended that was originally nicknamed Alfonso the Great, however, to differentiate it from Alfonso III was started to call the Casto. For example, the use of the title of Rex.
    After being forced by a nobility group to retire to the monastery of Ablaña in 801, he managed to regain power seven years later. He immediately begins to link his reign with the idea of being heir to the Visigoth monarchs and to his Spain lost, in this way it justified both its regio power and colonization (presure) that begin to make on their own groups of free peasants, the border begins to advance south due to demographic pressure in Asturias.
  6. First monarch who agreed to the throne without a vote. Since then the monarchy was de facto hereditary.
  7. Privileged King of Asturias after the division of the kingdom among the sons of Alfonso III the Magnus. After the death of his brothers García I and Ordoño II, he was king of Leon between 924 and 925, gathering all the paterna heritage.
