Diego Fernández (fl. 1020 – c. 1046[a]), also known as Diego Fernández de Oviedo, 
was a member of one of the most noble lineages of the Kingdom of León as the son of 
Fernando Flaínez and Elvira Peláez, daughter of count Pelayo Rodríguez. He was the 
second cousin of King Alfonso V since both shared the same great-grandfather, Count 
Fernando Bermúdez de Cea.[3] Distinguished with the title of Count at an early age, 
Diego was the father of Jimena Díaz, wife of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar El Cid.
Marriages and issue[edit]

Count Diego first married Elvira Ovéquiz, daughter of Count Oveco Sánchez and 
Countess Elo, who gave him two daughters:
Onneca Mayor Díaz the wife of Gundemaro Iohannes (Ibáñez)
Aurovita Díaz, married to Munio Godestéiz,[b]most probably the Muño Gustioz 
mentioned in the Cantar de Mio Cid who would have been the brother-in-law of Jimena 
Díaz who fought along with El Cid and accompanied Jimena during her widowhood.[5]
[4]

His second wife, probably named Cristina, was a daughter of Fernando Gundemáriz 
and granddaughter of Gundemaro Pinióliz. The documented offspring of this marriage 
were:
Rodrigo Díaz, count in Asturias, who, according to the charters in the Monastery of 
San Juan de Corias, could have married a Gontrodo with whom he had two daughters, 
Sancha a Mayor Rodríguez.
Fernando Díaz, one of the most powerful magnates of his period, who first married 
Godo Gonzalez Salvadórez and then Enderquina Muñoz, daughter of Count Munio 
González.
Jimena Díaz, the wife of El Cid.
