Íñigo Íñiguez, son of Íñigo Jiménez & his second wife. He established himself, in 822, as Íñigo Íñiguez "Arista" King of Pamplona. The Carolingians, who had first invaded the territory around Pamplona in 778, were finally driven out in 824. He allied himself with the Banu Qasi family, whose leader was King Íñigo's uterine half-brother, to consolidate his position. He was injured in the battle for Pamplona in which his brother Fortún was killed in 843. He suffered from paralysis before he died. The Codex de Roda names his children García, Assona and a second unnamed daughter.
