Galindo Aznárez II

Galindo succeeded his father as Count of Aragon. In 905 he was part of a coalition that sponsored a coup d'état in Pamplona in favor of his brother-in-law, Sancho I, that overthrew the ruling Íñiguez dynasty which was replaced by the Jiménez dynasty, another branch that was more favorable to the interests of Aragon. However, he turned on this new king and on 911 attacked him in concert with brother-in-law Muhammad al-Tawil and Abd Allah ibn Lubb al-Qasawi. This coalition was defeated, al-Tawil killed, and Galindo forced to become vassal of Sancho.

Galindo was married twice. By his first wife, Acibella,{{Sfn|Martín Duque|2002|p=904}} daughter of Count García II Sánchez of Gascony,{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|p=244}} and his wife Amuna of Périgord, he had three children:

• Toda Galíndez, married to Bernat I, Count of Ribagorza,{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|pp=219 and 244}} to whom she brought Sobrarbe.
• Redemptus Galíndez, bishop.{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|p=244}}
• Mirón Galíndez,{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|p=244}} who probably died before his father since he did not inherit the county in spite of being a legitimate son.

By his second wife, Sancha Garcés of Pamplona, daughter of García Jiménez and Onneca Rebelle of Sangüesa, and half-sister of Sancho I, he had:

• Andregoto Galíndez, who inherited the Aragonese county. She was queen of Pamplona by her marriage with her first cousin García Sanchez, king of Pamplona (925–970).{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|pp=214 y 244}}
• Velasquita Galíndez,{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|p=244}} first married Íñigo López de Estigi y Ciligueta.{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|p=232}} She could also have been the wife of Count Fortún Jiménez of Aragon ({{fl.}} 943–958).{{sfn|Ubieto Arteta|1989|pp=202–06}}

Galindo also sired several illegitimate sons: Guntislo, Sancho, Belasco, Banzo—father of a Galindo{{Sfn|Settipani|2004|p=90}}—and Aznar.{{Sfn|Lacarra de Miguel|1945|pp=244–245}}
