Ordoño II of León

Ordoño II (c. 873–924), second son of Alfonso III of Asturias, was educated at the Banu Qasi court in Zaragoza. He received Galicia when his father's kingdom was divided among three brothers in 910. In 914, after his brother García died childless at Zamora, he inherited León and made the city his royal seat.

He sacked Mérida and Évora, forcing the Muslim governor to buy his retreat. Allied with Sancho I of Pamplona, he routed the Muslims at San Esteban de Gormaz in 917. In 920 the emir Abd-ar-Rahman III defeated him at Valdejunquera. Ordoño died at León in June 924.
