Descendants

Gontrodo was married to Gutierre Sebastiániz potestas or tenente of Aguilar,{{Sfn|Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León|1999|p=391}} a fortress near the city of Oviedo.

  • Sebastián Gutiérrez
  • Diego Gutiérrez
  • Aldonza Gutiérrez

While still married, Gontrodo had an affair and became the concubine of King Alfonso VII. This relationship began in 1132 when the king was in Asturias trying to quash one of the many uprisings of Count Gonzalo Peláez.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=42}} In 1133, a daughter was born, Urraca,{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=42}} who became the wife of King García Ramírez.{{Sfn|Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León|1999|pp=382, 392 and 395}}

Foundation of the Monastery of Santa María de la Vega and her last years

On 13 October 1153, Gontrodo founded the Monastery of Santa María de la Vega in Oviedo.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=46}} Her daughter, the widowed queen Urraca, who was already back in Asturias, confirmed the monastery's foundational charter which was also confirmed by King Alfonso VII.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|pp=46–47}} All the properties that she gave the monastery were hers, either given to her by the king or inherited from her parents.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=48}} Pursuant to her wishes, the monastery was first ruled by the Order of Fontevrault which was not very common in medieval Spain.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|pp=51 and 67}} By 1283, the monastery had adopted the Rule of Saint Benedict.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=74}}

Gontrodo became a nun in this monastery{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=55}} where she lived the rest of her life until her death on 26 June 1186. She was buried in a sarcophagus engraved with birds and dogs, stems and leaves. {{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=70}} The monastery was abandoned on 31 July 1854 and the few nuns that were living there moved to the Monastery of Saint Pelagius in Oviedo, taking with them the sarcophagus of Gontrodo.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1994|p=401}} The tombstone covering the sarcophagus is exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Asturias.

Gontrodo in some medieval charters

  • On 11 March 1143, Gontrodo Petri donated Ambás and half of her inheritance in Tedaga on the condition that these properties could not be sold or lent. Charter confirmed by: (1st column) Diego, Ordoño, Gonzalo, and Rodrigo Pérez (her brothers); (2nd column) Sebastián Gutiérrez, Diego Gutiérrez, Urraca, and Aldonza Gutiérrez (her children).{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1991|pp=3–4, doc. 2}}
  • On 17 April 1147, she donated Entrático, which had been given to her by King Alfonso VII. Charter confirmed by: (1st column) Sebastián, Diego, and Aldonza Gutiérrez; (2nd column) regina Urraca Adefonsi.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1991|pp=5–6, doc. 3}}
  • On 13 October 1153, accompanied by her daughter Urraca, founded the Monastery of Santa María de la Vega which was to be ruled by the congregation of Fontevrault.{{Sfn|Martínez Vega|1991|pp=7–9, doc. 4}}

According to professor Margarita Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León, "...such primacy of these unknown Gutiérrez (Sebastián, Diego, and Aldonza) over their uncle Suero Ordóñez and her brothers (...) is not possible unless they are the children of Gontrodo Pérez".{{Sfn|Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León|1999|p=391}}
