Hermenegildo González or Mendo I Gonçalves (died ca. 943–950) was a Galician
count in the 10th century Kingdom of León, tenente in Deza, and the ancestor of one
of the most relevant Galaico-Portuguese lineages of the Early Middle Ages. He
appears in medieval charters confirming as Ermegildus Gundisaluis.
Biographical sketch[edit]
The son of count Gonzalo Betótez and Teresa Eriz, and maternal grandson of count
Ero Fernández, Hermenegildo had several brothers and sisters, including Aragonta
González, who was the wife of Ordoño II of León before being set aside, and count
Pelayo González.[1][2]
He begins to appear in medieval charters in 926, and apparently died relatively young,
as he is no longer seen after 943, and certainly by 950 when his widow and children
divide the inheritance, while his widow continues to appear through 981.
Marriage and issue[edit]
He married Mumadona Dias, Countess of Portugal between 915 and 920, daughter of
Count Diego Fernández and Countess Onecca (Onega) and founder of the Monastery
of Guimarães.[3] In 926, King Ramiro II of León donated to the couple the village
known as Creximir near Guimarães. Two years later, Mumadona's mother, Onecca,
made a donation, confirmed by several magnates, including her son-in-law
Hermenegildo, to the Monastery of Lorvão in memoria domnissimi nostri nomini
ueremudi diue memorie where she mentions all her children:[4][a]
Gonzalo Menéndez,[3] count and dux magnus of Portugal, who first appears in a
document of 24 July 950, the same document which confirms Hermenegildo as already
dead.
