Savaric was born to a noble family, being son of Gatón, a count in Astorga and El Bierzo who was uncle to King Alfonso III of Asturias.
The historian and cleric Enrique Flórez cited a document of 1 August 922, a donation of Ordoño II to the monastery of Samos, as the last record of Savaric alive and placed his death on 18 November 922.
However, on 17 September 924 Savaric confirmed Fruela II's donation of the county of Montanos to the church of Santiago de Compostela.
Since Rudesind ordered the monks of Celanova to perform services in Savaric's memory on Saint Roman's day (18 November), this must be the date of his death, but whether in 925 or 926 we do not know.
