Arias Menéndez (Arias Mendes in portuguese, died after June 924)[1] was the son of Hermenegildo Gutiérrez and Ermesenda Gatónez, daughter of count Gatón of Bierzo,[2][3] Count of Astorga and Egilona. He supported the cause of King Alfonso III of Asturias and, as compensation for his loyalty, in 911 he was elected Count of Aeminium, an ancient Roman city built where the current Portuguese city of Coimbra is located, which was repopulated by his father. Years later, he was appointed, along with his brother Gutierre Menéndez, Count of Caldelas and also of Refojos de Leça.[4]
