Seems likely our birthdate is wrong.
Cawley gives Ordono as b. 830 and d. 866.
Cawley gives this Agaton as d. 6 Jun 878.
Can we infer that Agaton MUST have been born after Ordono (>830) or he would have been king? Or was Asturias a non-primo or elective monarchy in this era?
i) VERMUDO Gatónez . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Conde.
ii) SAVARICO (-922). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 25 Jun 927 under which Patruina donated villas...in territorio Asturiense...Parias...Edia...quinta racione qui fuit de iermano nostro dive memorie domno Sauarigo episcopo to [his sister´s son] nepto meo domno Rudesindo episcopo[175]. Bishop of Mondoñedo [906].
iii) ERMESINDA Gatónez. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. A charter dated 23 Dec 927 records donations by Gutier Menendiz comes cum coniuge sua domna Ylduara to the monastery of Santa María de Loyo and specifies that he was son of domne Ermesende comitisse[176]. m ([865]) conde HERMENEGILDO Gutiérrez, son of GUTIERRE --- & his wife Elvira --- (-after 912). A charter dated 6 Jun 878 records judgment in the court of domini...Adephonsi principis...vel judicum Gatoni et Hermigildi confirmed the possession of villa Vimineta, populated by comite Gaton during the reign of domni Ordonii[177].
iv) PATRUINA Gatónez (-after 25 Jun 927). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 25 Jun 927 under which Patruina donated villas...in territorio Asturiense...Parias...Edia...quinta racione qui fuit de iermano nostro dive memorie domno Sauarigo episcopo to [his sister´s grandson] nepto meo domno Rudesindo episcopo[178].
Unfortunately his HTML indents Savarico, so some folks might think he's the son of (his brother) Vermudo. The enumeration clarifies.
I have set the LNAB as Asturias. It should be either Asturias or Vierzo/Bierzo, depending on whether Gaton was really the son of Ramiro I, King of Asturias. See http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ASTURIAS,%20LEON.htm#VermudoIdied797A
