Fernando Ansúrez II

Fernando Ansúrez II (died 978, shortly after 23 April) was the Count of Monzón, Peñafiel, and Campos from 950 and one of the most powerful noblemen of his generation in the Kingdom of León.

The first ambassador, Guitart, came bearing a letter from Borrell Súñer, the Count of Barcelona, making submission anew and requesting a renewal of the existing treaty between the Caliphate and the county.

[6] On 25 August 976 Fernando, in a charter by which he donated the villages of Tello Barba, Coresce, Sarracino, and Gallegos to the monastery of Sahagún, boasted that his father had remained always faithful to his monarch, Ramiro II, and had served him with valour in a thousand battles.

[1] This is notice is preserved in the abbey of Husillos, to which Teresa and her son granted the villages of San Julián and Abandella for the sake of Fernando's soul.

[8] Nempe plures manet notum eo quod dive memorie genitori meo Assuri Comite satis fidelissimum fuisse Domino Rademiro Principe et post obitum genitoris mei Ego vicem ipsius obtemperavi, ut potuit supradictum ... Ego vero tempore ut ille fines vite excepit et prolis ipsius Domino Ordonio regalia vice adquisivit, ego ut michi mee supetierunt vires adiutor et fidelissimus illi extiti et contra resistentes illi atquietavi adtentius dimicavit.
