Castile/Castella[edit]

I doubt Rodrigo's domain were located in Castile, but in "Castella", one of the territorial demarcations ("comisso", "comitatus", etc.) of Galicia. If you read medieval galician documents, some of them refer to counts or "tenentes" of "Castella de Bubal". Even there's a charter from 899 which refers to "Odoarius comes Aucae et Castellae" among a list of galician counts. In fact, there's a village called Sandulces in the province of Ourense. The region of "Castella" could be around Ourense city, between the counties of Monterroso, Deza, Toroño and Limia.
