Nepocian of Asturias
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nepocian (Spanish Nepociano) was a Visigothic count and usurper king of Asturias in 842 after the death of Alfonso II, whose sister Nepocian had married.
He did not live long on the throne. Ramiro I defeated Nepocian at the Battle of the Bridge of Cornellana, by the river Narcea. Ramiro then removed the system of election which allowed his family to be displaced by a faction of nobles.
