King Ramiro I of Asturias and Wives (Urraca and Paterna)

[Blog Real]

Ramiro I (c. 790 – 1 February 850) was king of Asturias (modern-day Spain) from 842 until his death in 850. Son of King Bermudo I, he became king following a succession struggle after his predecessor, Alfonso II, died without children. During his turbulent reign, he fended off attacks from both Vikings and Moors. Architecturally, his recreational palace Santa María del Naranco and other buildings used the ramirense style that prefigured Romanesque architecture.

He was a contemporary of Abd ar-Rahman II, Umayyad Emir of Córdoba.
