Íñigo of Oña

He was a hermit before coming out of his hermitage in the mountains to reform the monasteries at the behest of King Sancho III of Pamplona.

On 12 December 1052, Íñigo assisted at the consecration of García's new monastic foundation of Santa María la Real at Nájera.

Along with Dominic of Silos, he also intervened to try to prevent the fraternal conflict that ended in the Battle of Atapuerca (1 September 1054), at which García died.

[1] Pope Alexander III allowed people in Tours to celebrate Íñigo on his death date in 1163, although the abbot had not been beatified or canonized at that stage.

[4] King Philip V prevailed upon Pope Clement XII to include the late monk's feast in the Roman calendar on 13 March 1736.
