Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermenegildo_Gonz%C3%A1lez
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.
Diego Menéndez (died after 964), married to Aldonza and father of a nun at the 
monastery founded by her grandmother, after whom she was named, Mumadona Dias.

Ramiro Menéndez (died before 964), married to Adosinda Gutiérrez, daughter of Count 
Gutierre Menéndez and Ilduara Ériz. This couple were probably the parents of Queen 
Velasquita, the first wife of King Bermudo II of León.[7][8]
