Alfonso V of León

Alfonso V (c. 994–1028), called the Noble, succeeded his father Bermudo II as king of León in 999, aged five. His mother Elvira García and Count Menendo González served as regents until Menendo's death in 1008.

In 1013 Alfonso married Menendo's daughter Elvira Menéndez and used the title emperor of all Spain. He rebuilt the kingdom after years of civil war and Muslim ravaging, and in 1017 granted León its first charters of privileges.

After Elvira's death he married Urraca of Pamplona. On 7 August 1028 he was killed by an arrow while besieging Viseu, and his son Bermudo III succeeded him.
