Kingdom of Nájera

The origins of the Kingdom of Nájera date back to 918 when King Sancho Garcés I of Pamplona, in collaboration with Ordoño II of León, recovered Nájera and the Middle and Upper Rioja (from present-day Miranda de Ebro to Tudela) from Muslim rule. He placed these new territories under the rule of his son, García Sánchez, under the name "Kingdom of Nájera".^[2][3]
