    1) He was the King of Leon
    2) His wife was Doña Sancha and his father was Sancho Garcés III of Pamplona (Sancho III El Mayor)
    3) His brothers were Ramiro I of Aragón, García Sánchez III of Nájera and Gonzalo I of Ribagorza.
    4) His sons were Alfonso VI of Leon, Sancho of Castile and Garcia of Galicia and his daughters were Elvira of Toro and Urraca of Zamora.
    5) As I said before, Sancho corresponded the County of Castile; Alfonso corresponded the Kingdom of León; García received the Kingdom of Galicia and Urraca and Elvira corresponded them the cities of Zamora and Toro.
    (I have done 6 and 7 together)
    I think not, because when his father died, the older children agreed to take his brother 's kingdom García Galicia. Then fought between them to keep all the kingdom. Whoever won was Sancho, thanks to the military aid of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, which has since received the name of "El Cid " . Sancho imprisoned his brother in jail. After Sancho laid siege to the city of Zamora, and then killed a knight. El Cid (who worked for him) Alfonso had to release from prison and became Alfonso VI of León and Castile. His sister Urraca was happy, and the nobles of Leon, Galicia and Portugal agreed to Alfonso, but part of the Spaniards demanded that the new king swore in the church of Santa Gadea, who had nothing to do with the murder of his brother. Take charge of the oath was Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, which will not much like the king. So Alfonso VI banished him. To banish, this allied with the kingdom of Zaragoza and he help the Moors, which they called "Sidi". The Moor Wheel mayor ambushed Alfonso, and the king lifted the exile to Cid. Several years of continuous wars between the Moors and Christians, after which, El Cid had they become a peninsular power, which contrasted with the military failures of King Alfonso VI, who lost to the city of Lisbon. In the end, Rodrigo Valencia regained himself, and ruled there until 1099 (the year of his death).
