  Notes	Gonzalo Betótiz (in Portuguese Gonçalo Betotes) was a noble in the Kingdom of Leon in the early medieval period.[1].He is referred to as Count of Deza[1] but although he is named as Count (conde in Spanish, comes in Latin) in primary sources[2], it may not be with a territorial designation. He was the son of Alfonso 'Betote' and an unnamed wife[2] and was perhaps born about 875, though this is a very rough estimate. He maybe the Gundesaluus comes who subscribed a charter of Alfonso III, King of Asturias dated 6 May 899,[2] but seems to definitely be a witness to charters dated about 922, 17 September 924, and 25 August 927 where he is referred to as Gundisaluus Betonice, Gundisaluus Bettotiz and Gundisaluus Betoniz respectively.[3],[2] He married Teresa Eriz the daughter of Ero Fernández. and they had five children;[3] Pelayo González; Hermenegildo González; Aragonta González; Iberia González; Gontrodo González The date he died is unknown. Both he and his wife, (written as Gundesaluus and Tarasia) attest a charter dated to 20 November 929, where their daughter Aragonta made a donation to the monastery of Carboeiro for the soul of her late husband, Ordoño II, King of Leon.[3] There is also mention of a charter dated 936 where they both are mentioned as the founders of the San Lorenzo de Cargueiro monastery, but this is only mentioned in a secondary source and the primary document has not been found.[3],[2] This means that he definitely died after 20 November 929 and perhaps after 936. Research Notes In some online sources his mother is named as an unnamed daughter (NN de Mendes) of Hermenegildo Peres of Asturias, but this isn't confirmed with any primary source.
