  Notes	Ero Fernández was a member of the nobility "during the reigns of Ordoño II and Alfonso IV Kings of León and was created conde (Count), based at Lugo in central Galicia."[1] His parentage is unknown, only his patronymic indicating that his father's first name was Fernando.[2] Some sources indicate that his mother's name was possibly Gutina,[1] or Guntina[3] but it is unclear what the primary source is for her name. Ero was possibly the brother of Diego Fernández[2] and also possibly Godesteo Fernández[1] but this is purely based on the three men having the same patronymic and active in the same time period, there are no primary sources that confirm this filiation. Marriages He married first in about 865-870, Adosinda,[3] but she must have died before 23 November 898, when his second wife, Elvira donated a third of her assets to the Monastery of Santa María de Ferreira de Pallares, which she and her husband founded.[4] The family names of both of his wives are unknown. Children He is known to have had six children, but it isn't clear which of his two wives was the mother of some of the children.[2] The following two children are definitely those of his first wife, Aldosinda; Gudensindo Ériz, married and had issue; Ilduara Ériz, married Count Gutierre Menéndez and had issue , including, St. Rosendo,founder of the monastery of Celanova and bishop of Mondoñedo; It is unclear whether Aldosinda or Elvira was the mother of the following two daughters; Teresa Ériz, who married Count Gonzalo Betótez, and had issue; Goto Ériz, married to a man named Munio and was possibly the mother of Ero Muñoz. Elvira his second wife, is definitely the mother of; Diego Ériz, who died before 17 January 917, when his mother gave half of the town of Fusines to the monastery of Santa Maria de Ferreira de Pallares for the salvation of his soul.[4] Godesteo Ériz, married Gugina, and had issue. Death Ero Fernández is last documented on 24 September 926 when he confirms a charter granting dower to his grandaughter Gontrodo González.[2],[4] While his second wife was still alive he is supposed to have retired to the monastery of Santa Maria de Ferreira de Pallares, where he died and was buried in a white marble or rough alabaster tomb.[4] Sources ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Cawley, Charles, 'Galicia Nobility 9th-11th Century: Chapter 8-Family of Diego Fernandez' in Medieval Lands: A prosopography of medieval European noble and royal families, version 4.0, 28 Feb 2019.
