Fruela II, King of Asturias, died in Spain, possibly from leprosy. His will designated his son Alfonso Fróilaz as his successor. However, Fruela's other sons, Sancho Ordóñez, Alfonso IV the Monk of León, and Ramiro II of León, refused to recognize Fróilaz's rule, limiting his authority to Galicia. This resulted in a disputed succession and a fragmented kingdom. Fróilaz's reign was marked by internal power struggles and political instability. The divisions between the sons of Fruela II weakened the central authority in Spain and paved the way for further conflicts and territorial disputes. #Spain #FruelaII #succession #dispute #leprosy
