Sancho Ramírez of Viguera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sancho Ramírez (died about 1002) was the second King of Viguera from 991 or earlier until his death. He was the son and successor of Ramiro Garcés. Following the death of his father, he appears in documents with his uncle Sancho II Garcés and his brother García Ramírez. His death has been estimated at about 999, but a recently published document shows him still living in 1002. A Sancha Sánchez appears in Pamplona royal charters in a position of importance, and has been speculated to be his daughter, but her fate is unknown.
