Elvira was the daughter of Hermenegildo Gutiérrez, a Galician noble, count in Tuy and Oporto, who was responsible for the reconquest of Coimbra, and his wife Ermesenda Gatónez.[2] Research Notes This original profile had her parents as Bermudo Torres and Ermesinda Torres. Since Wikipedia has a different father for her, Bermudo should be disconnected and replaced.
