about 1 000 to 1035, the s on o f Garc a II (or III ).
Sancho establ ish ed Navarres e heg emony over all the Christia n states o
f
Spain at a time wh en th e calip hate of Crdoba w as i n a state o f
turmoil.
Sancho was uninterest ed in a cr us ade aga instthe Moor s, but he was
interest ed in the expansi on of Pam plo na, which h e began by t he seiz
ure
of the an cien t Frankish coun t ies of Sob rarbe and Ribagorza (1 016-19)
.
A
skilled p olitici an, Sancho pu rsued his aims more by sub versi on tha n
by
for ce of arm s. He pers uad ed the C ount of Ba rcel ona, Bereng ue r
Ramn
I,
to acce pt hi m as overlord . Gasc on y did likewise, giv ing him di rect
sovereignty over La bour d. As a cons equen ce of his marriage (1 010) t o

betwee n Chris tian Sp ain and trans-Py re nean Europe. I n hi s will ,
however,
he de liberately de stroyed the empire he ha d created: he di vided it
into
four kingd oms and lef t thes e to his four s ons, thus ma king inevitab
