Bermudo II of León

Bermudo II (c. 950–999), called the Gouty, was a son of Ordoño III of León. In 982 Galician nobles proclaimed him king in revolt against Ramiro III, and he was crowned at Santiago de Compostela. After Ramiro's death in 985 he ruled all León.

Though he sought Córdoba's protection, Almanzor's armies came as conquerors; Bermudo expelled them in 987. A noble revolt drove him out in 991, but he was soon restored, and Almanzor later sacked León.

Gout-crippled, Bermudo travelled by litter in his last year. He died in September 999, and his son Alfonso V succeeded him.
