Munuza



Munuza (8th century) was the Moorish governor of northern Iberia (including the region of Asturias in modern Spain) defeated and killed by Pelayo of Asturias in the beginning of the Reconquista.

Tradition has it that he fell in love with Pelayo's sister, Ormesinda, and that, together with Kazim, kidnapped and married her. Supposedly on her wedding day with Munuza she took poison and died.
