Iñigo (DOB abt 775) cannot be the son of Jimeno (DOB abt 820) unless there's a typo.

Jimeno's other son, García Jiménez, is shown with DOB abt 835 -- 90 years after Iñigo. On this basis, Jimeno must have been one heck of a virile guy ("old goat?")

Jiménez de Pamplona-2 and Pamplona-3 appear to represent the same person because: intended to be the same person, based on the son

Can we simplify and tidy the "name" of this man?

Jimeno Jimeno Jimeno of Pamplona, King of Pamplona formerly Pamplona... is a nightmarish nightmare of redundant redundancy. Isn't it?

Is he not 'Jimeno (Ximeno) "King of Pamplona" Unknown'
