Everything about Garc A S Nchez Of Castile totally explained

García Sánchez (d. 1029) was the last independent count of Castile from 1017 to his death. Son of Sancho García and his wife Urraca, he succeeded his father when he was only a boy. During his minority the post of regent was held by several Castilian magnates and Urraca, Abbess of Covarrubias, the young king's aunt. The county fell under the protection of King Sancho III of Navarre (Sancho the Great).
   He reached his majority in 1028. He was assassinated the next year when leaving the royal palace in León by the brothers Rodrigo Vela and Íñigo Vela. He had gone there to meet his fiancée, the princess Sancha, daughter of Alfonso V of León.
