Reign [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Fortuné returns to Pamplona around 882, shortly after the death of his father [ 6 ] , killed during the defense of the castle of Aibar, attacked by the forces of the still From Saragosse, Muhammad Ibn Lubb, also a member of the powerful family of the Qasi Banu. Muhammad Ibn Lubb continues its conquests in the upper Ebre Valley, ensuring control of Sierra de Santo Domingo, Tarazona, Tudela, Calahorra, Viguera and Nájera [ 7 ] .

Fortuné is already almost 56 years old and he carries out a policy of pacification, particularly vis-à-vis the Qasi Banu. But its action causes the dissatisfaction of a part of the nobility, which supports a reversal of power.

End of reign and death [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

In 905, wealthy, who is already almost 80 years old, was dethroned by his parent Sanche. This one, son of Count García Jiménez, also has the support of neighboring princes, among which his uncle Raimond I is , Count of Pallars et de Ribagorce, Galindo  II , count of Aragon and Alphonse  III , King of Asturias.

Fortuné withdraws from the Leyre monastery: he won the nickname “monk”. He died in 922 [ 8 ] , [ 9 ] .

From the Union of Fortún and Aurea will be born five children:

The first name Fortún being very frequent among the Qasi Banu and the numerous alliances between them and the family of Fortún Garcés (Dynasty Arista), one might think that his mother Urraca was a Banu Qasi. However, Christian Settipani relates it to the kingdom of Asturias [ ten ] And mentions that Eneko Arista had a brother named Fortún, great-uncle of Fortún Garcés [ 11 ] .

This situation suggests that the Arista and Banu Qasi were already closely related before the latter’s conversion to Islam. As a result, the two husbands of Lady Oneca or Iñiga, mother of Eneko Arista and Musa Ibn Musa, could be cousins ​​or close relatives.

His descendants also continues in Al-Andalus where Muzna’s son will become the Caliph of Cordoba Abd al-Rahman III .
