Oria - Ibn Hazm affirm that she is the daughter of Musa ibn Musa

We have several discussion here about the case of Oria. I recommend reading them, there might be answers to this.

Yes i've seen those, but someone keeps insisting that there is no source on it. What about Ibn Hazm ?
We do know that for ideological reason, every arab root of the iberian nobility had to be denied, so i think that the arabic source are more reliable.

I mean he explictly wrote that Oria the daughter of Musa ibn Musa married Garcia, King of the Basques.

I havent heard anything new after this information?

:Oria (Auria, Awriya), the wife of Fortún Garcés, is known only from the Códice de Roda, which names domna Oria filia de --- (lady Oria, daughter of ---) as the wife of Furtunio Garseanis (Fortún Garcés). This codex probably dates from the late 10th century with additions for the 11th century, so it is approximately 100 years or more after her lifetime.

There is no contemporary indication of her parentage, but there several theories about her possible ancestry:

Historian and professor Antonio Rei suggested she might have been a granddaughter of Musa ibn Musa ibn Qasi (Rei, 44–45). The Banu Qasi were a Christian family who converted to Islam. Historian and genealogist Christian Settipani suggested she might have been a daughter of Oria bint Musa, daughter of Musa ibn Musa, and her husband García (killed 859). The latter would be a son of García Galíndez the Bad and his first wife Matrona, daughter of Aznar I Galíndez, count of Aragon (Settipani, 114) Settipani also suggested she might have been a daughter of García Galíndez the Bad and another Aurea, his second wife, the daughter of Eneko Arista and sister García I of Navarre (Settipani, 114). Settipani also suggested she might have been a daughter of Galindo I Aznárez, count of Aragon, and a granddaughter of Aznar I Galíndez and a third Aurea, who could be the daughter of the Duke Lupo II of Gascony and a sister of Oneca or Iniga, the mother of Eneko Arista and Musa ibn Musa (Settipani, 115). Spanish Wikipedia (citing Rei) supports the theory she was daughter of Lubb ibn Musa ( Lope ibn Musa) and Ayab Al-Bilatiyya, and a granddaughter of Musa ibn Musa and Assona Iniguez but says in a footnote that her parentage is not documented. In unsourced Internet genealogies she is most often called a daughter of Lope ibn Musa (banu Qasi). She married [845] King Fortún Garcés of Pamplona, who died in 922. They were the parents of:

Íñigo Fortúnez Aznar Fortúnez Velasco Fortúnez Lope Fortúnez Onneca Fortúnez, who married firstly Abdallah ibn Mohammed, Emir of Córdoba, and secondly her cousin Aznar Sánchez of Larraun, grandson of king García Íñiguez, becoming the mother of the future queens Toda Aznárez, wife of Sancho Garcés, and Sancha Aznárez, wife of king Jimena Garcés.

She comes across Geni as my 33rd great grandmother, too. All of this, if Geni is to be believed. All of this, if true, is fascinating; I'm eagerly awaiting the results of this conversation, as well.

Oria, hija de Musa Ibn Musa, a la vista del testimonio formal de Ibn Hazm, (muerto en 1063), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Hazm

This is what makes it dumb,
"Auria – also known as Oria – was an early Queen consort of Pamplona. She is known from a single historical source, the Códice de Roda, which only gives her name and not her parentage".

She is not known, as the fist quote shows, from only one source, but, she is only known from one contemporary source, and that's a big difference.

Ibn Hazm was as you see, not contemporary, he was born 94 years after Orias death, but does this really make him not that contemporary? There should have existed contemporary sources, information that he had access to, maybe also, not existing today, but that he had used as source, and I do not see any reason that this information should be considered as fraud, fallacy or fake.

Instead of being set as a daughter Musa Ibn Musa lbn Qasaw, Walí de Tudela, Huesca y Zaragoza she was previous set up as a daughter to his son Lope ibn Musa بن موسى and I belive that the people who did this, thought that it would be a better fit pure due to chronological reasons, and maybe the fact that she named one son Lope Fortúnez. But this Lope could just as well been named after her brother.

Anyway, her husbands mother Urraca could also have been the granddaughter of Musa ibn Musa ibn Qasi, if so, he would have married a very close relative, but, they wouldn't have had the same mother, (Oria and Urraca).

I do not think either, that this procedure of marrying closely relatives, was that unacquainted at that time, because that was more or less a habit of keeping the power limited within a fewer amount of families...

Just a reminder, I would rather bet a dollar on Ibn Hazm's statement despite the fact that he lived a century after Oria, than ANY other nowadays contemporary so called experts who only creates and launches one theory after another just to be famous themselves!

Also, Ibn Hazm is one of the greatest and most respected intellectual of the Muslim world even today, and the science of genealogy is a very serious affair for the Muslims and Arabs.

In his time, saying who was the father of Oria is like in our time saying who is the daughter of Trump. It cannot be taken as a weak source, it's a direct testimony of a serious affair. It made the Banu Qasi the grandparents of the basque king of Ibn Hazm's time.

Since i wanted to see it in the primary material itself, i went out of my way to search for the original part in Ibn Hazm. I have a diploma in Arabic and Islamic study, and I finally found the part. It's part of the HUGE book of Ibn Hazm "The Genealogy of the Arabs" :

https://ibb.co/Br4WY1d

It says (the underlined part) "Musa Ibn Musa sons: (...) Awriyat, who married Garcia the King of Basque".

It's also confirmed by the french orientalist Levi Provencal

cesar matta please tell the curator
Private User who stated "Parentage unknown." on Oria's profile that you know. Explain, convince try, and if he doesn't listen, ask him to explain why they are still unknown.

I wrote to him. i hope he will check the new evidences.

You can also add to the case that the basque dynasty added to the "Codice of Roda", which don't mention the origin of Oria (but don't negate it either), was added after the death of Ibn Hazm. So Ibn Hazm is the most ancient source we have on this issue.

We have had discussions so many times about this that I do not even remember. Where are the new? evidence? I fought about to let Oria keep her parents years :) but good luck.

Curator Justin Howery Swanstrom has already answered to case Ibn Hazm as many others:

"I suppose that's one possibility, but not proved. MedLands says:

> GARCÍA, son of --- (-killed in battle Monte Laturce 859). Ibn Hazm names "Awriya" as the daughter of "Musa ibn Musa", adding that she married "Garsiya rey de los Vascos" and names their son "Musa ibn Garsiya"[39]. This García has not otherwise been identified in the families of the early kings of Pamplona/Navarre. One possibility is that the sources have misnamed him and that he is the same person as Galindo Iñíguez, son of Íñigo "Arista" [King] of Pamplona (see below, Part B.), who converted to Islam, probably had a Muslim wife, and is recorded as having a son named Musa. m [AWRIYA], daughter of MUSA ibn Musa. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Chronicon Sebastiani which records that "Muza…genere suo…Garseane" was killed at the battle of Monte Laturce against Ordoño I King of Asturias [in 859][40]. Ibn Hazm names "Awriya" as the daughter of "Musa ibn Musa", adding that she married "Garsiya rey de los Vascos" and names their son "Musa ibn Garsiya"[41].

Hard to see why Garcia would be the same as Fortun Garcés. The names are different, and Fortun Garcés became king in 882, 23 years after Garcia was killed in battle.

Remember these are patronymics. Saying Fortun Garcez and Garcés are the same person would be like saying we've got this Lars Svensson, who must be the same as this Sven over here ;)."

Cesar Matta: thank you for pointing this out. This does relate and tie into many important family trees. I have tried to also prove parentage through 1800's Spanish books and texts. From Spanish Historians.

But, Thus far: Western historians trump all.... Why?

Saga, in arabic Fortun is called "فرتون بن غرسية" , Garsiya is written exactly like Ibn Hazm called him.

Also, in the text you provided, the author don't mention AT ALL the fact that Ibn Hazm call him "KING of the Basque" (MALIK). We got one king of the Basque who is called Garsiya, and who is known to have married an Oria from unknown origin.

Why we don't take into account the opinion of historian of the period, Levy Provincal ?

I think it's ideologically driven, because they constantly fail to mention what is in the text, that she was married to the "KING of the Basque".

If we don't accept that as a proof, so close to the time period and from one of the most known Andalusian historian, that cast a shadow on a ton of proofs in history.

"ideologically driven", and, religious, and political, and, why not, a bit of racism?

The reason for destroying this profile may be a bit of it all, but destroyed, it is. Vandals,
(a person who deliberately destroys or damages public or private property).

Private User I just wish all those people would stay on Ancestry. I am thankful we at least have a space to discuss these things. I am with Marvin Loyd Welborn - Oria is my 33rd great grandmother. I am highly interested in how these discussions are going and just wish I had more to contribute. Thanks to all!

She is my 34th g-grandmother and also my 33rd g-aunt (through her sister-in-law, Jimena Garcés de Pamplona, reina consorte de Asturias who is my 32nd g-grandmother and sister of Oria's husband, Fortún Garcés el Monje, rey de Pamplona who is also both my 34th g-grandfather and 33rd g-uncle.

Hope I got that right. And I'm sad that she has lost her father. Devastated to see history re-written before my eyes. I feel I'm under emotional siege.

thumbs up

Cesar - Jep. I do not disagree with you, just saying and pointing out, that at those discussions these things have been discussed already, as you can see when you open them.

In the year 900, around "Oria's" time, you would have had an estimated 70,368,742,243 ancestors. However, the global population then stood at only about 300-400 million people. This stark contrast arises due to a phenomenon known as "pedigree collapse," where certain individuals appear in multiple branches of our family tree.

For example, a particular ancestor, say a grandparent, may also occupy the position of ancestor to another relative through a different line of descent. Consequently, a single person can be your ancestor in numerous distinct ways.

As we delve deeper into our ancestry, the vast majority of those who populate our family tree become increasingly obscure. Only a minute fraction of them have left any discernible historical trace. Thus, most of our ancestors from a millennium ago remain enigmatic and unfamiliar figures to us.

It's impossible to know for sure what specific percentage contributes to our genes and whether it's more akin to background noise. This is an entirely separate topic, and especially the understanding of how DNA comparison occurs is often easily misunderstood. - While the results may provide intriguing information, they should be interpreted with caution and not regarded as absolute truths.

If you open the old discussions about Oria's ancestors, you will find the answers to your questions there.

Kind regards, Saga

The first thing to do when looking at a source is the individual providing the source.
Historian Ibn Hazim:

Views: Honesty in communication; Strict literalism.

1. He emphasised the empirical, he wrote the Scope of Logic, he also blamed earlier scholars of romanticism. His idea informed the basis of empiricism.

2. He was a jurist an official, who needed evidence in order to place judgement. He followed 'ijtihād' (independent reasoning) in adverse to following 'taqlīd' (conformity on the teachings of another).

3. 90 years is around 3 generations. In my experience 3 generations are easy to come by and hold few mysteries. It would be unusual to invent and publish facts on recent history to the masses.

I see no reason why his works are of any lesser value than any of the other.

Steven Evans Bell, of Ngāti Hāuaroa
I agree 100%, he is as good as a contemporary source.

Yep, I agree Steven Evans Bell, of Ngāti Hāuaroa and Private User Ibn Hazim - I agree. He's been mentioned many times as a reliable source in previous discussions, I have defended this view. I can't even remember how many times over the past few years. But really, what more can be done about it. There have been many of these discussion openings, and the same things have been clarified repeatedly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I noticed that Luis E. Echeverría Domínguez, Voluntary Curator has connected Orias parents.

Following as this is a bit frustrating to watch these lines continue to flio/flop back and forth.
