Talk:Seguin I of Gascony

Seguin and the Jiménez family

@Iñaki LL: Hi! I was comparing articles of earlier kings of Navarre and dukes of Gascony. Were you the one who wrote, in this page of Seguin, that "He was not, as has been alleged from time to time, the forefather of the Jiménez dynasty which ruled the kingdom of Navarre (905–1234)"? I'm kind of interested in this matter and I would like to hear your reasons. Not that I don't agree, but I'm curious. I was hoping that it could have been some real agnatic connection between Jiménez dynasty and the Gascon line (just like many of the viscounties of the Pyrenean border), and Seguin would have been the perfect candidate, being contemporary of Jimeno el Fuerte, the mentioned ancestor. I'm just asserting that chronologically, the theory doesn't have problems, and the same goes for the names used by the monarchs. For what I know, the name Sancho, for example, appears in an Iberian monarch for the first time within Jiménez dynasty of Pamplona (Sancho I of Pamplona), and it has only prior known use in the Gascon line of dukes. The same goes for the name Jimeno, which first ocurrence may have been that same Jimeno el Fuerte, and only seen in Gascon dukes as Seguin. However, you wrote the sentence I cited in the beggining without sources, and I would like to hear your explanation, please (and, if possible, the ones who "alleged" and where they went wrong). I would like to thank you in advance. Greetings, Mhmrodrigues (talk) 16:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Mhmrodrigues, this was added long ago, but the notes at the bottom give you a clue. If you disagree, I would suggest you make a sourced proposal. Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 20:37, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
