Elvira Menéndez, queen of Alfonso V of Castile (born 996)

Elvira Menéndez was a queen consort of Leon by marriage to King Alfonso V.

Alfonso V, called the Noble, was King of León from 999 to 1028. Like other kings of León, he used the title emperor to assert his standing among the Christian rulers of Spain. He succeeded his father, Bermudo II, in 999. His mother Elvira García and count Menendo González, who raised him in Galicia, acted as his co-regents. Upon the count's death in 1008, Alfonso ruled on his own.
