As noted below, under the possible first marriage of this Nuñu Álvarez, it is not certain whether he was the donor in this charter or the subscriber. “...Nunu Albariz, Rodrico Uermudiz, Fanni Fanniz, Didaco Albariz, Fortunio Albariz, Ordonio Ordoniz, alio Nunu Albariz” subscribed the charter dated 1 Jul 1047 under which "Salbator Gundissalbiz cum coniuge mea Momadonna" donated “duas villas in villa...Spinosa” to the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeñas. “Nunno Alvariz...cum coniuge mea Goto” donated the monastery of Santa María de Cabia to San Pedro de Cardeña by [spurious] charter dated 2 Jul 1047, subscribed by “...Domno Nunno Alvaroz, Didaco Alvaroz, Gundisalvo Alvaroz...”. “...Domno Nunno Aluariz, alio Munno Aluariz...” subscribed the charter dated 1 Oct 1047 under which Fernando I King of Castile confirmed properties to the bishop of León.

"…Nunnu Alvaroz...Didaco Alvariz...Gundisalvo Alvariz…" subscribed the charter dated 31 Aug 1050 under which Ferdinand I King of Castile confirmed the union of the monastery of San Martín del Río with San Pedro de Cardeñas. “Nunnu Albariz, Fortuni Albariz, Didaco Albariz, Gundissalbo Albariz, Roderico Uermudiz” subscribed the charter dated 9 Dec 1050 under which “Beila Monnioz” donated property “in Ualle de Orbanelia in locum...Cardeniola” to San Pedro de Cardeña. It is not certain whether these charters refers to Nuñu Álvarez, husband of Goto, or to Nuñu Álvarez, husband of María Gutiérrez.... “Nunnu Albaroz...Didaco Albariz...” subscribed the charter dated 18 Mar 1056 under which "domna Gotina" donated “abui de meus abus vel de parentes meus quantum quadravit mici inter meus germanus in villa...Penielle” to San Pedro de Cardeña. “Nunnu Alvaroz" donated “media villa...in alfoce de Burgos” to San Pedro de Cardeña, for the souls of “meæ...et pro anima uxori meæ Teresa”, by charter dated 14 Nov 1058. As noted below, this document could not refer to this Nuño Álvarez unless “Teresa” was an error for “Maria”.] “Nunno Albariz...” subscribed the charter dated 19 Jan 1062 under which King Fernando I donated “curte...in Uilla Iriezo qui fuit de illo mannero Citi Ouecoz” to San Pedro de Cardeña. "Cometissa domna Onneca, Gomiz Fredenandiz prolis" donated property “in territorio…Borueva in villa…Ecclesiasindenia” to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla by charter dated 10 Nov 1062, confirmed by “…sennor Nunno Alvarez, sennor Roderico Bermudez, sennor Sarracino Hanniz, sennor Didaco Alvarez, sennor Hanni Hanniz, sennor Ordoni Ordoniz, sennor Fredinando Rodriz, sennor Alvaro Rodriz, sennor Eximino Lopiz, sennor Salvator Gondissalviz, sennor Galindo Belasquiz”. “Nunno Albariz, Gundissalbo Albariz...” subscribed the charter dated 16 Jul 1064 under which King Fernando I confirmed donations made by “Ziti Memez et uxor tua Gotina” to San Pedro de Cardeña. “Domna Ozicia et filius meus Alvaro Didaz et Didaco Didaz et filias meas Sol et Lumne" sold “quarta in Villa...Castrillo de Gomiz Gotiniz in Alfoce de Burgus” to “Nunnu Albariz et domna Maria” by charter dated 12 Jan 1065.
Married firstly Flámula, daughter of ---. “Nunno Albariz cum conjuge propria Flamula” donated “divisas duas in villa...Kastrello...in alhoze de Lerma” {Castrillo Solarana in the Nebreda valley} to Arlanza by charter dated 10 Oct 1046, witnessed by “Sancio Fredinandiz, Albaro Nunnez, Gundisalvo Nunnez, Didaco Albariz, Fortune Albariz, Nunno Albariz, Fredinando Fredinandiz, Petro Rodriz, Didaco Gunsalviz, Petro Gonsalviz, Gundisalvo Albariz, Fredinando Roderiz, Albaro Roderiz, Fredinando Gunsalviz...”. It is not certain that the donor was the same person who later married María Gutiérrez, although the chronology appears favorable to this possibility. The difficulty of the second “...Nunno Albariz...” in the subscription list, and especially the apparent presence with him in the list of the other three supposed brothers of that Nuño Álvarez (“...Didaco Albariz, Fortune Albariz, Nunno Albariz...Gundisalvo Albariz...”), complicates the question. Another factor is the presence in the subscription list of “...Fredinando Roderiz, Albaro Roderiz...” who were possibly nephews of another Nuño Álvarez who later married Goto.... Choosing between these two possibilities, it seems more likely that the donor was Nuño Álvarez who later married Goto and that the subscriber was Nuño Álvarez who later married María Gutiérrez, but this is not beyond all doubt. 1
