  Notes	Hermenegildo Gutiérrez (Hermenegildo Guterres in Portuguese) (c. 850 – after May 912), was a distinguished Galician noble who lived during the 9th and 10th centuries. As the Mayordomo mayor of King Alfonso III, he was an active member of the curia regia. His daughter Elvira, as the first wife of King Ordoño II, was queen consort of León. Rico-homem, mordomo do Palácio (antes de 883), em 876 reconquistou Coimbra aos árabes Conde dos Cristãos de Coimbra Príncipe soberano del Reino de Tude Conde de Galicia Conde de Portugal Hermenegildo Guttierez was the son of Guttiere and his wife Elvira[1]. He married Ermesinda Gatonez, daughter of Gaton Ramirez and his wife Egilona[1]. They had six known children: Guttiere Menéndez Arias Menéndez Aldonza Menéndez Elvira Menéndez, married Ordoño II, King of Leon Enderquina Gudilona (unconfirmed). Hermenegildo was still living as of 912[1]. Research Notes Birth Other online sources indicate a birth about circa 842 or even circa 830, which seems much too early (he would be in his 80s when he died) It's doubtful he was ever created Count of Portugal (conde de Portugal) but this needs more investigation.
