  • Gunrod, also known as Gunrød was a Viking warlord who came from Norway, and was predominantly known as the Sea-King and was possibly a cousin or a brother of Harald II of Norway in which from his permanent bases in the Loire, Gunrod later launched brutal raids along the Cantabrian Coast, which in 968, with a force of over a hundred ships, he settled in the lands of Galicia for a whole year and then in March of 968, Gunderedo (Gunrod in Spanish) reached the gates of what was known as Compostela, where a bishop named Sisnando Menéndenz was brutally killed by an arrow at the Battle of Fornelos on March 29 of 968. The Vikings entered later on without any resistance at all. The Galician count Gonzalo Sánchez who was of Visigothic descent ended this Viking exploration in 970 when an attack was launched with a very powerful army which wiped the Vikings in a bloody battle where Gunderedo was captured, later executed along with his followers. It was a consequence of the Vikings and a brutal response to them for being a large threat to the Spanish principalities then the Moors.
