Or how to be overshadowed by two suns
today King is another of those "lazy kings" Iberians. If I came to the throne Aurelio as a nephew of King Alfonso, the good of the Silo hizo por ser su yerno. Vamos, que estaba casado con Adosinda, hija del finado Alfonso. Empieza a hacer falta un árbol genealógico, ¿verdad?
El acceso al trono de este rey es, como el de su predecesor, extraño y discutido. ¿Por qué un pariente consanguíneo? ¿Por qué seguimos marginando al legítimo rey, Alfonso, hijo de Fruela? Tenía éste ya catorce años, era un hombrecito en toda regla. ¿Tribalismo? ¿Elección gótica? ¿Fruelafobia? Como saben, yo me inclino por la tradición visigoda: se elige al “mejor”, que como ya hemos visto, no tiene por qué ser el más apto.
was the year 774 AD, Aurelius passed to a better life and Silo became the first of the Asturian nobles. Endured nine years on the throne. Not much, or little, because we do not know for sure and when born. That is why Shiloh could be either a venerable old man of over fifty years, or a lad ... We do not know what she died, but the absence of such data can reveal to us the fact that it was natural causes.
Domestically, the reign of Silo notable for two things: a revolt and the transfer of the court. The revolt was the Galician nobility, as happened to Fruela I, and was also suppressed. For the brave, of course.
The other is the transfer of the court, was made for several reasons. First, it seems that Silo himself had some influence or ascendancy over the target area, Motherwell. Another reason is due to strategic issues, for Cangas de Onis was located too on the outskirts of the kingdom. Another advantage is that Pravia was quite sheltered, and adjacent to a Roman road that connected with Asturica Augusta.
Externally, the reign of Shiloh was quiet, very quiet. The chronicles say that remained at peace with the Muslims "because of his mother." Hence each one says a thing, that if it was the son of a Muslim, if his mother was held hostage by Rahman I. .. Either way, there were no problems in the south. And neither was from the north: Silo also coincided with "one" Carlos "the Great, Charlemagne for friends. And though he himself the bundled here. Invaded the valley of the Ebro in 778 and besieged Saraqusta before Caesaraugusta Zaragoza today, failed in the attempt, turned on Roncesvalles and Rolando, sacrificing for their king, was crushed when the rear of the army led by Roncesvalles. And oh la la , we Chanson de Roland. Indeed, following the invasion, Rahman was given a tour of the Ebro, to punish those who, for various interests, leaving the way open for free was so close to making a point so important as Zaragoza.
have lied to Shiloh suffered a revolt Galician Fruela style. It is also true that both Adosinda like Shiloh, in the absence of descendants (and no male descendants and goes, but even that) it was strongly emphasized Alfonso, the son of Fruela, who reigned after his death. And so it seemed he would be killed Pravia Silo in 783, and Alfonso was to be crowned but ...
But we will see in the NEXT chapter. Silo Nothing more, the next either, and if the floor above me by myself, are fixed.
