OK, here's the deal. In subsequent generations, the name Aznar came to
be used in the Gascony family. That suggests an intermarriage
(assuming, of course, that the Counts of Aragon were the only family of
equivalent social status, and hence likely to be selected for a marriage
partner, which used the name Aznar). It then comes down to a question
of chronology as to whether she was Aznar's sister or daughter. My
source (the imfamous Vajay charts) have chosen one solution, and Malan
the other. I am pretty sure there is no contemporary reference that
says Sancho married the daughter/sister of Aznar, Count of Aragon, and
that it is all supposition based on nomenclature.
I am not all that comfortable with several of the identifications which
appear in the Malan article, (and likewise for the Vajay one). When
reissue a new and improved Teresa AT, I had planned to remove most of
this Gascon material. All of this is at the very fringes of what can
reasonably be called genealogy rather than simply an exercise in
creative writing.
