Fortún Jiménez (count)

Fortún Jiménez (fl. 943–58) was the count of Aragon at least between 947 and 958. At that time, Aragon was under the authority of the king of Pamplona, then García Sánchez I, and Fortún appears to have been exercising authority on behalf of the king's heir, the future Sancho II. In a document from 947, Fortún is described as the guardian or tutor of the young Sancho, who was the heir to Aragon through his mother Queen Andregoto Galíndez. Writing in 1571, recognized Fortún as the last count of Aragon before the kings of Pamplona took direct control.
