Years: 851 - 851
March
García Íñiguez, the son of Íñigo Arista, the first king of a Basque dynasty ruling in Pamplona, had been educated in Córdoba, as a guest at the court of the Emir of Córdoba.
When his father was stricken by paralysis in 842, García had become regent of the kingdom (or perhaps co-regent with his uncle Fortún Íñiguez).
He and his kinsman Mūsā ibn Mūsā ibn Fortún of the Banu Qasi had rebelled against the Cordoban emir in 843.
This rebellion had been put down by Emir Abd ar-Rahman II, who had attacked the Kingdom of Pamplona, defeating García badly and killing Fortún.
At his father's death in 851/2 (237 A.H.), he succeeds to the crown.
