Furthermore, he had to be a daughter of the King of Pamplona, ​​Íñigo Arista marry from Matrona, isolated.

Probably this violent takeover had taken place shortly before or in the year 836, provided that the displaced Count Aznar I, was identical with that of the same Earl, who died this year of a cruel death after he was the reign of King Pepin I of Aquitaine have rebelled. García Galíndez apparently had a nation alba Kishen movement belongs, which sought to throw off the Frankish suzerainty over the mountain peoples of the western Pyrenees, for which his marriage speaks to a daughter of Íñigo Arista, who was standing at the top of this resistor. In the power struggle between Emperor Louis the Pious and his son Pippin I. García may have taken the opportunity to drive his father loyal to the Emperor of Aragon.
