Biography

Numabela appears in many online genealogies and other unreliable sources, mostly as the daughter of Fruela Perez de Cantabria, the son of Pedro, Duque de Cantabria, and brother of Alfonso I, King of Asturias 739-757, but sometimes as the daughter of Pedro, Duke of Cantabria

Numabela's marriage or marriages vary somewhat but she is often linked as the wife of Loup II, Duke of Gascony

Numabela Froilaz Cantabria was born in 755 in Cantabria, España, daughter of Fruela Perez Cantabria (~0710–~0765) and Gosendes Cantabria (0730–0767).

Numabela married Centule Gascoña (born in 735 in Midi-Pyrenees, France; son of Adelrico (Gascogne) de Gascogne).

Numabela died in 785 in Gascogne, France.

Wikidata and Academic.com Identify her husband as Lupo II of Gascony, her child as Garcia Loup of Gascony, and her father as Fruela of Cantabria. The primary sources are not identified:

Fruela of Cantabria's father was Peter of Cantabria:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruela_of_Cantabria#:~:text=Fruela%20de%20Cantabria%20or%20Fruela,King%20Alfonso%20I%20of%20Asturias. (sourced)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_of_Cantabria (unsourced)

Wikipedia: Peter (Latin: Petrus, Spanish: Pedro; died 730) was the Duke of Cantabria. While various writers have attempted to name his parentage, (for example, making him son or brother of King Erwig), early sources say nothing more specific than the chronicle of 'Pseudo-Alfonso': that he was "ex semine Leuvigildi et Reccaredi progenitus" (descended from the bloodline of Liuvigild and Reccared I), and even this has been challenged as a possible politically-motivated fiction created to support his descendants' later claim to exclusive kingship. He was the father of King Alfonso I and of Fruela of Cantabria, father of Kings Aurelius and Bermudo I.

Liuvigild and Reccared I were very interesting early Visigothic kings. King Erwig, a Visigothic King, could at best have been Peter's grandfather. If the Erwig connection could be made, the route to the Visigoths is clear and a (likely bogus) route can be found to Roman Emperors. Following conjectured lineages of the Visigoths leads to the early Germanic invaders who brought down the Roman Empire.

I've asked a question on G2G about Numabela, that you might like to have a look at and comment.

Hi John,

I just read the G2G and wondered if a merge with Unknown Asturias should go ahead? If so I'm happy to initiate it. Also do we have a source for the marriage with 'Lope'/Loup?

Thanks Rachel, I think I've probably reversed my decision from then, and it would be better to keep this profile as Numabela and eventually go down the disproven existence path. I am sure that she never existed and there is no source for her marriage to Lope/Loup.

Cantabria-3 and De Cantabrie-7 appear to represent the same person because: Sorry I was adding the wife of Loup and did not see this profile was previously created under a different variant name. Thanks
