Aznar Galíndez I (also Asnar) (died 839) was a Basque Count of Aragon andConflent from 809 and Cerdanya and Urgell from 820. Aznar has beenconfused with Aznar Sánchez, Duke of Gascony, and some authorities haveeven considered the two like-named contemporaries to be one and the sameperson.
Aznar succeeded Aureolus as count of the valley of the River Aragón onthe latter''s death in 809. Some sources indicate him as count of Jaca,which was probably the seat of his authority within the valley. He wasinstalled by the King of Aquitaine, Pepin I, and remained a Frankishvassal. In 820, he was overthrown by his son-in-law García the Bad,supported by Iñigo Arista''s Navarrese forces.
He took refuge in the Vasconia that remained suzerain to the Franks, andwas appointed count in Urgel and Cerdagne.
He had four children:
Matrona, who married García the Bad, but was repudiated when he overthrewher father
Eilona, named as daughter of count Aznar Galíndez in an 862 charter ofher nephew, Guntislo
Centullo, murdered by his brother-in-law García the Bad
Galindo Aznárez I, later Count of Aragon
