• Dates & Events. ⁴⁸⁷
Gonzalo's letter dated 912 to the town of Brañosera confirmed the rights granted by his paternal grandparents whom he names. ~Pérez de Urbel, Vol. I, p. 251, and Vol. II, pp. 28-9

He is referred to as "comes in Burgos" in 899. ~Becerro de Cardeña ["BC"], doc. CXII, cited in Torres (1999), p. 208

He built the castle of Lara in 902, and populated Aza, Clunia and San Estebán in 912. He is last mentioned in Castile in 916. He may have been banished to Navarre from 920 to 930, a "Gundisalvus comes" witnessing royal Navarrese documents during this period, although if this is correct it is surprising that his wife did not accompany him, established as she was in the castle of Lara during that time. A "Gundisalvus Fredinandiz comes" witnessed a 932 donation, signing immediately after King Ramiro II and before "Fredenandus comes" (presumed to be Fernando González), Pérez de Urbel suggesting that this is the same person as Gonzalo Fernández de Lara.
