Biography

Marginalia: Crazy Rabbits

Gutina Unknown was formerly cited in WT with a birth date of 0854 in Burgos and a death date of after 0885 (place unknown). The dates have been maintained but the original birth place, Burgos, has not been used, because it was not founded until 0884. The County of Castile, Kingdom of Asturias (Condado de Castilla, Reino de Asturias) has been used in WikiTree for her birth and death place to at least place her in Spain in the time period she lived in.

It has been speculated that Gutina was the daughter of Diego Rodríguez, Count of Castile, but documents do not support this. She is said to have been the wife of Fernando Muñoz (abt 0825-abt 0890). Fernando had at least two, perhaps three, sons, ostensibly with Gutina: ^[1]

1. Nuño Fernández (0879-0928, acc WT). He was Count of Burgos, 0922, Count of Castile, 0926, father of Gutier Núñez (Count of Burgos, 0931).
2. Gonzalo Fernández "Conde de Burgos y Castilla" de Burgos (0885-0915, acc WT), father of the renown Fernán González "Conde de Castilla y de Álava" de Castilla. Note that one source suggests Gonzalo's dates are abt 0855-aft 01 May 0915. ^[1] He was Count of Burgos, 0899 and 0915, Count of Castile, 0912 and 0915.
3. Rodrigo Fernández

Duplicated Profiles in WikiTree

Gutina was duplicated under Diaz_de Castilla-1, Gutina Diaz de Castilla, Castile-130, which was changed (LNAB) to Gutina Unknown, and Unknown-167522, Gutina Unknown. The first two profiles are being merged into the third.

Fernando and Gutina Castroserio

The following information, prevalent on the internet, is an example of incorrect data that has spread from one site to another and which may account for confusion regarding Fernando Muñoz and Gutina. In this instance, The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy cites six children for Diego Rodríguez, among whom is Gutina: ^[2]

[GUTINA Díaz. Pérez de Urbel emphasises that there is no proof of the parentage of Gutina Díaz, wife of Fernando Muñoz. However, her grandson, conde Fernando González, confirming donations to San Félix made by conde Diego Rodríguez de Castilla, suggests a close family connection. m. FERNANDO Muñoz "Niger/él de Castroserio [sic]", son of MUNIO Núñez "Rasura/él de Branosera" & his wife Argilo ---.]

Note that the above is erroneous despite its prevalence on the web. Gutina or Godina or Gotinha de Castrosiero is an 8th century figure, possibly the wife of Fernando de Castrosiero, who lived in the area of Castile. According to an inscription outside the apse of the chapel of Saints Centola and Elena in Siero, Burgos (currently an abandoned area in Valdelateja, Burgos), Fernando and Gutina were the sponsors of its construction or reconstruction in 0782 or 0792. Some historians erroneously have considered Fernando and Gutina as relatives of Count Fernán González, even Fray Justo Pérez de Úrbel, who, based on a document that he dated in the year 0860, and disregarding the aforementioned epigraphy, took them to be the alleged parents of Count Gonzalo Fernández and, therefore, grandparents of Fernán González. ^{[3] [4]}

Regarding the entries for the Rodríguez-Fernández family

The Rodríguez-Fernández family members who were linked originally in WT are from different time periods and there is no evidence they were directly related, i.e., they have been unlinked from one another in WikiTree:

• Gutina Unknown (dates unknown), daughter
• Sulla Bella Unknown (dates unknown, acc WT), daughter
• Asura Castilla (0860-0909, acc WT), daughter, not investigated
• Diego Rodríguez (abt 0855-0885), husband
• Asura Fernández ( 0850-0880, acc WT; estimated abt 0945-abt 1005), wife

Background

The ancestors of Fernán González are germane to this profile discussion. The family tree for Munio Núñez and Argilo, his great-grandparents, taken from the work of the historian Gonzalo Martínez Díez, can be consulted in the digital publication, Historia del Condado de Castilla: "El Primer Fuero Castellano: Brañosera, 13 de Octubre 824". ^[1]
