[Home]Alphonso IV of Spain

HomePage | Recent Changes | Preferences

ALPHONSO IV (924-931) has a faint personality. He resigned the crown to his brother Ramiro and went into a religious house. A certain instability of character is revealed by the fact that he took up arms against Ramiro, having repented of his renunciation of the world. He was defeated, blinded and sent back to die in the cloister of Sahagun.
