MUNUZA


'Munuza' (8th century) was the Moorish governor of northern Iberia (including the region of Asturias in modern Spain). He was subject to the WÄli of al-Andalus, Anbasa ibn Suhaym Al-Kalbi. He was defeated and killed by Pelayo of Asturias at the beginning of the Reconquista.
Tradition has it that he fell in love with Pelayo's sister, Ormesinda, and that, together with Kazim, kidnapped and married her. Supposedly on her wedding day with Munuza she took poison and died in Trubia or La Felguera.
