Bermudez de Venezuela and Spain
I was always intrigue by some of the comments that has been referred that the Bermudez last name came from the kings Bermudos and by being related to the King Alfonso I of Portugal. This is the investigation I found I would like to share with all of you and probably I could receive some help with you too. It will prove what you all have been talking about.
The first Bermudo that I found was the King Bermudo I ‘el Diacono’ son ofthe Count Fruela of Cantabria and Menina. Part of our linage of Bermudezthat came to Venezuela is from this King Bermudo. Also, we are related to the Counts of Traba that later on I will show their line since the last name Bermudez were used in a lot of their children. The King Bermudo had a son called the King Ramiro I of Asturias and King Ordono I was one of his children. This line of King Ordono I, as you may see, that the name Bermudo were used a lot in some of their children:

Note : The father of this Sancho de Rioboo is unknown right now. In a document shows that he was a direct grandson of Garcia Pardina Villardefrancos m Maria Fernandez Cayon. Garcia Pardina Villardefrancos founded the mayorazgos de Pardina y Villardefrancos back in 1525. It shows he had two children: 1- Alonso Gomez de Villardefrancos; 2- Ignes de Pardina y Villardefrancos. Also in antoher document regarding the Rioboo mentioned that there were three brothers that divided the mayorazgos. Now does any one out there knows who these three children were? Please help?

As you may see that The Counts of Traba really played a big role in the usage of the last name of Bermudez. If we can find from what linage this Suero or Pedro Bermudez de Montaos came from we can really link the Bermudez family better. Also, Does any one knows whose child was Sancho de Rioboo? Was he from Alonso Gomez de Villardefrancos; 2- Ignes de Pardina y Villardefrancos or from some other child not mentioned for Don Garcia Pardina y Villardefrancos and Maria Fernandez Cayon or Maria Bermudez de Castro. If any one has any insight please lets share it? Thanks cousins.
