Todd,

ES 2:50 does show Jimena, wife of 'C. Fernando Gundemariz' [sic, not
Fernando Gundesindez, for what that's worth] as the third child of Alfonso
V, and only child by his second wife, "married 1023 Urraca Garces, infanta
of Navarre, daughter of King Garcia IV Sanchez (el tremulo)"

Of course, ES for these Spaniards is ref'd only to "manuscripts of Ricardo
Mateos y Sainz de Madrano (of Barcelona) and Jaime de Salazar Acha".
Perhaps Salazar Acha can be asked for comment?
