Froila (or Fruela) Muñoz was a Leonese count. The sixty-seven surviving charters 
recording his property exchanges between 1007 and 1045 provide "compelling 
evidence of the active part that was being played by members of the aristocracy in the 
land markets of eleventh-century León" and that no "ecclesiastical monopoly on land 
investment and speculation existed."[1] It is also partial evidence of a "spectacular 
increase in the mobility of land" in Christian Spain in the eleventh century "as both 
aristocratic families and ecclesiastical institutions sought to expand their domains at 
the expense of individual peasant proprietors".[2] In the eleventh and twelfth 
centuries in Spain, serious crimes such as murder, rape, arson, robbery, and cattle 
rustling were generally punished by the local lord with the imposition of a calumnia, or 
compensatory fine. These were more often paid in land than in monies, and this 
contributed heavily to Froila's increase in landed wealth, as several of his charters 
demonstrate.[3] A record of all these transactions is kept in the archives of the 
convent of Santa María de Otero de las Dueñas, to which its foundress, María Núñez, 
granted all here Leonese properties inherited from her ancestors, with their titles 
deeds, in 1240.[1]

Froila's daughter María Fróilaz married Diego Pérez, son of Count Pedro Flaínez and 
Bronilde. María and Diego were the parents of Froila Díaz.[4]
