It fell to ALPHONSO V (999-1027) to begin the work of reorganizing the Christian kingdom of the northwest after a most disastrous period of civil war and Arab inroads. Enough is known of him to justify the belief that he had some of the qualities of a soldier and a statesman. His name, and that of his wife Geloria (Elvira), are associated with the grant of the first franchises of Leon. He was killed while besieging the town of Viseu in northern Portugal, then held by the Mohammedans. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 1, p. 687, ALPHONSO V]
