GarcÌa I (or II) Sanchez (b. 919/921--d. 970), king of Pamplona (Navarre) from 925 to 970, son of Sancho I GarcÈs and Queen Toda Aznar. He owed his throne to the support of his cousin 'Abd ar-Rahman III, the Umayyad caliph of Cordoba. The end of his reign was taken up with wars against the count of Castile, Fern·n Gonz·lez. Sancho I of Leon, deposed by the Castilian, took refuge in Navarre; GarcÌa took to the field and in 960 managed to capture the famous Castilian, holding him prisoner for many years. GarcÌa was succeeded by his son, Sancho II GarcÈs. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
