Íñigo Arista of Pamplona

Íñigo Arista (c. 790 – 851/852) was a Basque chieftain remembered as the first king of Pamplona and founder of Navarre. Chroniclers place his rise after the Frankish defeat at Pancorbo in 816 and a Carolingian rout in 824. He is first documented in 840, rising with his Banu Qasi half-brother Musa ibn Musa against the Emirate of Córdoba.

His brother Fortún fell against the emir's forces in 843, and after peace in 845 Pamplona backed Musa's renewed revolt in 850. Íñigo died in 851 or 852 and was succeeded by his son García Íñiguez.
