https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garc%C3%ADa_II_S%C3%A1nchez_of_Gascony
García II Sánchez (Basque: Gartzia Antso, French: Garsie-Sanche le Tors or le 
Courbé, Gascon: Gassia Sans, Latin: Garsia Sancius Corvum, died circa 930), called 
the Bent, was the duke of Gascony from sometime before 887 to his death.

He was probably a son of Sancho Sánchez or of Sancho Mitarra, though older sources 
give a genealogy with a Spanish origin.[1]

His ancestry is, in the end, unknown. He may have been a cousin of Arnold, who 
some sources claim acted as regent during his minority following his father’s death in 
864 (if his father was Sánchez). Other sources place Arnold as Sancho’s successor 
and date his death to that same year. Whatever the case, García was in power by 
887.

In that year, he appeared in a charter issued by the grandees of Aquitaine assembled 
at Bourges to decide on a course of action in the twilight of the reign of Charles the 
Fat. In 904, he was using the title comes et marchio in limitibus oceani: "count and 
margrave to the limits of the ocean." García was the first of a line of dukes which 
ruled Gascony until 1032 and incorporated the county of Bordeaux into its demesne. 
García’s daughter Andregoto married one Raymond, who fathered William the Good, 
Count of Bordeaux. García divided his domain between his three sons by Amuna:
Sancho IV inherited a rump duchy of Gascony with the ducal title
William inherited the county of Fézensac (including Armagnac)
Arnold inherited the county of Astarac
Andregoto, married William the Good, Count of Bordeaux
Garsinda, married Raymond III Pons, Count of Toulouse
Acibella, married Galindo II Aznárez, Count of Aragon
