About Íñigo López
Íñigo López was the first Lord of Biscay. Although the date is not known precisely, Íñigo's government of Biscay began between 1040 and 1043 at the latest. He was appointed by the king, García Sánchez III of Navarre, and did not govern Biscay by hereditary right. At some point during the 1040s he received or inherited the rank of count. Around the end of his life he began using the style "by the grace of God", recorded for the first time written in legal documents after 1072. This style indicated a new claim to govern Biscay through the agency of God and not merely at the king's will.
