About Fernando Ponce de Cabrera

Fernando Ponce de Cabrera, called el Mayor, was an important nobleman of the Kingdom of León, the second son of three of Ponce de Cabrera, a Catalan baron who had emigrated to León, and his first wife, Sancha (?Núñez), who was deceased by 1142. He married Guiomar Rodríguez, daughter of Rodrigo Pérez de Traba. Between 13 February 1161 and August 1163 Fernando Ponce was the alférez or signifer (standard-bearer) of Ferdinand II, although it is possible that his younger brother of the same name, Fernando Ponce el Menor, is the one to whom the documents refer.
