Andregoto Galíndez

Who is Andregoto Galíndez?

Andregoto Galíndez was daughter of Count Galindo II Aznárez Count of Aragon from 922, being by his second wife, Sancha Garcés of Pamplona. She is frequently referred to as Countess, and made heiress to her father, yet she was not the eldest daughter of her father, and likewise Aragon had already been absorbed into the Kingdom of Pamplona by Sancho I of Pamplona, years before her marriage to that king's son, García Sánchez I. Prior to 940, García divorced Andregoto, presumably due to consanguinity since the two were half-first-cousins. They left a sole son, Sancho II of Pamplona, and García's two daughters may also have been hers, Toda who appears in 991 as sister of king Sancho, and Urraca, wife successively of Fernán González of Castile and William Sancho of Gascony. It has been suggested that Andregoto remarried and had further children, although the details have not been discovered. Endregota, wife of 11th century count Sancho Maceratiz, calls herself a descendant of queen Andregoto, but Ubieto Arteta suggests that Endregota instead descended from the queen's sister Velasquita Galíndez.
