12/20/910 AD died
Alfonso died of natural causes, having reigned for 44 years.
Following his death, the kingdom was divided among his sons:
- his eldest son, García, became king of León
- his second son, Ordoño, reigned in Galicia
- Fruela received Asturias with Oviedo as his capital
These lands would be reunited when García died childless and León passed to Ordoño, while on Ordoño's death the lands were reunited under Fruela. However, Fruela's death the next year started a series of internal struggles that led to unstable succession for over a century.
