Subject: Sancha: Osorio/Osoriz Connection

In my earlier post on Osorio, I could not identify the connection between
the Flainez descent of the Osorio familly and the earlier family using that
name which traditionally have been assigned as ancestors of the Osorios.

The following would appear to be the authentic connection between the
ancient galician family and the later leonese one.

Todd

--------------------

Gutier, first known ancestor of this family. He married Elvira, and had
three sons:
* Hermengildo
Osorio, fl.920, father of Gutier Osoriz, for whom see below.
Aloito

Hermengildo Gutierrez, fl.859-911, m. Hermesenda Gatonez, daughter of Count
Gaton. Gaton is called "brother" of Ordono I of Asturias, but this
probably means brother-in-law. They had:
Elvira m. Ordono II, King of Leon
* Ildoncia, m. her cousin, Gutier Osoriz,
Inderquina m. Gundesindo Eriz
Arias
Gutier, m. Ilduara Eriz, father of San Rosendo, and ancestor of Elvira
Menendez, wife of Alfonso V. (I will post on these descents later.)

Gutier Osoriz, fl. 916-941, son of Osorio Gutierrez. m. his cousin,
Ildoncia Menendez, daughter of Hermengildo Gutierez. They had:
Osorio Gutierez, "el Conde Santo"
Suario
Froila
Guntroda
Hermesenda m. Ordono Velasquez
Adosinda m. Ramiro II, King of Leon
Elvira
* Rodrigo

Rodrigo Gutierrez, fl. 941-1001. The name of his wife is unknown, his
family is not well worked out, but he is assigned the following
Suario
Gutier
Rosendo
* Pelayo

Pelayo Rodriguez, fl. 976-1005. He is proposed to be son of Rodrigo
Gutierrez, but if not, was descended from his immediate family. He
married Guntina Fernandez, sister of Queen Jimena, wife of Garcia
Sanchez of Navarre, and of Justa, first wife of Lain (Flain) Munoz.
They had at least three children:
Fernando Pelaez
Fronilde, m. Ordono (fl. 997-1042) Illegitimate son of Vermudo II of
Leon. They had, among others, a daughter Jimena, mother of
Rodrigo Munoz, who died in battle in Oct. 1086, and is
traditionally identified as the founder of the Guzman family.
* Elvira, m. her cousin, Fernando Flainez, son of Lain Munoz and Justa
Fernandez.

Fernando Flainez, d. 1049, m. Elvira Pelaez. They were grandparents of
Martin Flainez, father of Osorio Martinez (see my earlier Osorio post).
