Fernando Fernández de Carrión

One Elvira was the daughter of a concubine, Jimena Muñoz, and the sister of Theresa of Portugal and had married count Raymond IV of Toulouse.

Since the wife of Fernando was still in Castile as late as 1133, most historians have concluded that she must have been the former Countess of Toulouse, the illegitimate daughter of Alfonso by Jimena.

[7] Whichever Elvira was Fernando's wife, they had married by 8 July 1117, when together the couple made a private donation of the monastery of San Salvador de Ferreira [gl] to the abbey of Cluny.

On 17 December 1120 Elvira sold the estate at Fuentes de los Oteros which she had received as arras (a bridal gift).

[11] A similar description of territories occurs in a document of 1117: in tauro et in camorus mandante ("in Toro and in Zamora commanding").

He had two documents drawn up by royal notaries Pedro Vicéntez and Juan Rodríguez, both dated to the joint reign of Urraca and her son, the future Alfonso VII.

Fernando's death probably occurred towards the end of Urraca's reign, as he does not appear in any charters of Alfonso VII and the Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris does not list him among the nobles who did homage to the new king in 1126.
