Diogo Fernandes (died before 1 December 928),[1] (Spanish: Diego Fernández) was a count in the Kingdom of León whose filiation has not been documented although, from his patronymic, it is known that his father was named Fernando,[2] and that he was possibly from Castile.[3] He is the ancestor of many of the important 10th and 11th century noble families in the County of Portugal and in the Kingdom of León.[4] Although the relationship has not been documented, some authors believe that Diego could have been the brother of Count Ero Fernández[5][6] and of Gudesteo Fernández.[1]
