On this day, García Sánchez I, the ruler of Navarre, passed away, leaving a significant impact on the political landscape of Spain. The death of García Sánchez I marked the transition of power to his eldest son, Sancho II of Pamplona, who would become the new king of Navarre. However, García Sánchez I's legacy extended beyond the Navarre kingdom. He also established the Kingdom of Viguera, a small territory that he willed to one of his sons. This act created a separate realm within Spain. The Kingdom of Viguera presented a unique political situation, with a smaller kingdom existing independently alongside Navarre. The passing of García Sánchez I saw the reconfiguration of power in Spain, as Sancho II assumed the throne and the Kingdom of Viguera became a distinct entity within the region. #Spain #Navarre #SanchoII #KingdomofViguera
