Jimeno I of Pamplona
Encyclopedia : J : JI : JIM : Jimeno I of Pamplona
Jimeno I Garcés (d. 860) was king of Pamplona from 851 to 860. He was chosen to succeed his kinsman Íñigo Íñiguez Arista as king of Pamplona in 851 or 852. He was apparently the son of García Jiménez, who was probably lord of Álava and possibly a duke of Gascony during the time of King Íñigo. In 860, however, the fickle Navarrese gave the crown to the son of Arista, García Íñiguez. Jimeno's own son, García Jiménez, apparently became co-king of Pamplona sometime during the next reign. In the 10th century, Jimeno's house—the Jiménez—completely displaced the line of Arista and reigned in Navarre until 1234.
