The Rise of the Kingdom of León and the Reign of Ordoño II
The Kingdom of León emerges as a separate realm when King Alfonso III of Asturias divides his kingdom among his three sons.
Following the death of his brother, King García I, on January 2, 914, Ordoño II, previously King of Galicia, ascends to the throne of León.
One of his most significant decisions is to relocate the capital of the Asturian kingdom from Oviedo to León, marking a new era in the Christian Reconquista and reinforcing León as the dominant Christian power in northern Iberia.
