Íñigo López de Mendoza (died after 1203) was a Basque nobleman, 4th Lord of Llodio.[1]

Life

[edit]

The first to use the toponymic surname Mendoza, Íñigo, was the son of Lope Íñiguez[1] — son of another Íñigo López — and his wife Teresa Jiménez, daughter of Jimeno Íñiguez, Lord of Cameros.[2][3] His brother Gonzalo López de Mendoza was the first Lord of Mendoza.[1] Íñigo confirmed several donations and transactions by members of the House of Haro. He probably participated in several military campaigns of King Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1199 – 1200, and also confirmed several royal charters in 1202 – 1203.[4]

Marriage and issue

[edit]

Íñigo married María García by whom he had the following children:[a]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ In 1210, the siblings Íñigo, Diego, Milia and María donated properties in Cameno to the Monastery of Santa María de Bujedo de Candepajares in the province of Burgos. Either Inés is also called Maria, or else there was another daughter with this name.[4]
  2. ^ After the annulment of Alfonso IX of León's marriage with Theresa of Portugal and before his marriage to Berengaria of Castile, the king had an affair with Inés which lasted about two years. Nothing more is known about the life of Inés after their separation.[6]
