Froila Arias (flourished 1056–72) was a Galician count who governed the fortress of 
Traba and the region of Trastámara during a tumultuous period.

Froila was the son of Arias Tedóniz (flourished 1044–47), related apparently to the 
family of Rudesind, founder of the monastery of Celanova, with which Froila was 
connected as early a 1056.[1] Froila was married to Ardio Díaz.[2] As her dowry, she 
brought him the tenancy of Aranga.[3] They had a daughter, Urraca Fróilaz, who 
married Count Pedro Fróilaz de Traba.[2][4] The tenancies of Traba and Trastámara 
passed to Pedro after Froila's death.[5] Froila may have had another daughter who 
was the mother of Arias Pérez.[6]

In early 1071, King García II defeated the rebellious count of Portugal, Nuno Mendes 
and was then defeated in turn and expelled from Galicia by Sancho II of Castile and 
Alfonso VI of León. Froila appears to have gone quickly to over to the side of Alfonso, 
confirming his loyalty by confirming a charter of Alfonso issued in Galicia in November 
1071.[7] In early 1072, Sancho forced Alfonso into exile and annexed his kingdom, but 
he was assassinated shortly after. Alfonso returned to León and summoned the nobility 
of all three realms. Froila was in the city of León during Alfonso's great court of 17–19 
November 1072, where the king abolished a toll and reformed judicial procedures. He 
may have received a competing summons from García, also returning from exile, but 
he apparently moved rapidly to reassert his loyalty to Alfonso.[8][9]

Froila Arias may be the "Count Froila" who, according to the Historia Compostellana 
assassinated his nephew, Bishop Gudesteus of Iria Flavia in 1069. If true, this would 
make Froila a brother of Bishop Cresconius and another unnamed sibling.[1][10]
