Medlands: fils illégitime né d'une concubine inconnue: "Pelagius prolix regis Beremuti…" subscribed a charter dated 998 under which "Beremutus…Princeps…cum coniuge mea Geloira regina" donated the monastery of St Cosmas and St Damian at Nestoso to the bishop of Asturias [España Sagrada XVI, XI, p. 447]. The dating of this charter suggests that Pelayo cannot have been from his father´s second marriage. It is unlikely that he was born from his father´s first marriage as there is no record of his having claimed the throne after his father died. Pelayo must therefore have been illegitimate, presumably born in [970/80]. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermudo_II_de_Le%C3%B3n: Los hijos tenidos fuera de matrimonio fueron: ... Pelayo Bermúdez. Confirma venta hecha por el Monasterio de Sahagún el 21 de marzo de 1006 Pelagius, filius Ueremudi regis.
