Ramiro de León, son of Ordoño II King of León & his first wife Elvira Menéndez. He succeeded his brother in 931 as Ramiro II King of León. He defeated the troops of Abd al-Rahman III Caliph of Córdoba at Osma in 933[. However, the Caliph counter-attacked and, following the humiliating peace imposed on the kingdom of Navarre in 934, and the sack of Burgos in Castile, defeated King Ramiro and forced him to agree a position of neutrality while the Muslims besieged Zaragoza in 935. However, King Ramiro succeeded in defeating the caliph's troops at Alhandega/al-Khandaq, near Simancas in 939, allied with Fernán González Conde de Castilla and Queen Toda regent of Navarre. The victory increased the prestige of King Ramiro who was able to increase the territory of León into the valley of Tormes, repopulating Salamanca and Ledesma with Christian settlers, and agree a peace treaty with the caliph.
