The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Elvira" as the second legitimate wife of King Vermudo [Chronicon Regum Legionensium, p. 77]. Her parentage is confirmed by Ibn-Khaldun who records King Alfonso V as "petit-fils par sa mère du seigneur d´Alava Garcia Fernandez" [Dozy, R. (1859) Recherches sur l´histoire et la literature de l´Espagne pendant le moyen-âge (Leiden), Tome I, Ibn-Khaldoun Histoire des Beni-Alphonse de Galice (French trans.), p. 110]."
Elvira married Vermudo II "El Gotoso" Ordóñez Rey de León, son of Ordoño III "el Bueno" Ramírez Rey de León and Urraca Fernández de Castilla, in 991. (Vermudo II "El Gotoso" Ordóñez Rey de León was born about 953 in León, Iberia, died in Sep 999 in Bierzo, Iberia and was buried in Villabueno del Bierzo, Iberia.)
