Fernando Díaz

Fernando Díaz (floruit 1071–1106) was a Spanish nobleman and military leader in the Kingdom of León, the most powerful Asturian magnate of the period.

He was the last Count of Asturias de Oviedo and was succeeded by a castellan, a novus homo, perhaps in an ecclesiastical–royal effort to curtail the power of the Asturian aristocracy.

As her arras (special gift of a husband to a wife) she received the monastery of Santa María in Oviedo on 17 April 1097.

[4] On 20 September 1120 the "children of count Fernando and countess Lady Enderquina" made a donation of the monastery of Santa Cruz de Castañeda to the Abbey of Cluny "for the souls" of their grandfather Munio and his wife Mayor.

[11] These also involved Munio, the abbot of the San Juan Bautista de Corias, who had previously settled a division of serfs and properties with Fernando and Enderquina in 1097 and 1099.

Santa Cruz de Castañeda, church passed on to Fernando's children by their aunt, Jimena Muñoz , and later donated to the Abbey of Cluny
