About
Garcia Fernandez, Count of Castile, was famous across the frontier literature for the beauty of his hands - and for the manner of his death, wounded and taken by the Moors in 995, dying their prisoner. His county passed to his son of the Good Laws, and two of his children stand in this ancestry.
