He rewarded García by ceding to him Castilian territories from Oca to the gates of Burgos, from Briviesca to the valley of Urbel, from Castrobarto to Bricia, and from the Nervión River to Santander.

The monk of Silos wrote several decades later that an envious García attacked Ferdinand who was visiting him at Nájera during his illness.

The Annales compostellani attribute the death of García to one knight of his, Sancho Fortún, "whom he [the king], had offended with his wife".

Several in the Navarrese retinue preferred death in combat, and also the murderer, lord of Funes, Navarre, died in battle.

The Crónica Najerense mentions relatives of Vermudo, who furiously engaged García, disobeying Ferdinand's instructions to take him alive.

Ferdinand conceded the transport of the corpse to Nájera, took Briviesca, Montes de Oca and part of Rioja.
