Nuno Alvites
Nuno Alvites, also referred to as Nuno or Nuño Aloitiz[1][lower-alpha 1] (fl. 1017–1028),[3] was a count of Portugal, a descendant of the first count, Vímara Peres[4] as the son of Count Alvito Nunes and Gontina.
His presence is recorded for the first time in 1017. He appears in 1025 confirming a donation made by King Alfonso V of León to Nuno's brother, Pedro Alvites and again in that same year in another charter in which he states that he succeeded his father Alvito.[3] He ruled the county with his spouse Ilduara Mendes, daughter of earlier count Menendo González,[3] until he was assasinated in 1028, the same year as the death of King Alfonso V.[5] Ilduara continued to rule the county, with her son Mendo, who was still a child, as regent after her husband's death.[5][6]
Marriage and issue
- Mendo Nunes (or Menendo Núñez)[6], (fl. 1028–1050/1053)[3]. He governed the country probably as a minor under the regency of his mother and alone as of 1043.[3]
- Gontroda Núñez,[1] whose presence is recorded in medieval sources from 1028 until 1088, was married to Count Vasco, with whom she probably had no children.[3]
- Munio Nunes, who sold a property in Domez before 1031.[3]
