Alfonso of Barzona

Alfonso of Barzona (c. 1235-1280) was the third (or fourth) Count of Barzona. Born the second son of Antonio Miguel de Larria, he became count in 1272 when his brother died and he, with support of the knights, had the rightful heir, Pedro, arrested. Alfonso was confirmed in front of the priest as count, therefore sealing his titles. He probably had Pedro killed in 1277 due to fear of being usurped. He was captured and made to surrendered to his half-brother, Fernán in 1279 in what has been described by several historians as the smallest invasion army of Brunant, and in turn died in mysterious circumstances in 1280.
