Notes
Biography
Ramiro was born about 1070, the son of Sancho Garcés, lord of Uncastillo y Sanguesa, and his wife Constanza. His father was an illegitimate son of king Garcia Sánchez III of Navarre. Ramiro's mother was a daughter of Estefania de Foix, wife of Garcia V 'el de Nájera', king of Navarre, and hence stepsister of her husband, who was Ramiro's grandfather.With the assassination in 1076 of Ramiro's uncle Sancho IV 'el Penalen', king of Navarre, the kingdom was divided between Castile and Aragón, and the royal family parcelled out between the two. Ramiro was thus raised at the Aragonese court, and was lord of Monzón. About 1098 he married Cristina Rodriguez, daughter of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, 'El Cid', and Jimena Diaz de Oviedo. They had four children of whom their eldest son Garcia, the future king Garcia VI of Navarre, would have progeny. Ramiro died in 1116.
