Roll of the Kings of Asturias and Galacia

These are the dates for their reign, beginning to end. There are some cases where the end of the reign was not the end of their life, so I give the death date if I know it. I have tried to give some indication (where I can) of how they died (or ended their reign.)
ab. = abdicated,  kib. = killed in battle, as. = assassinated, ex. = executed, dep = deposed

Pelayo 718-737 d.
Favila 737-739 d. Killed by a bear.
Alfonso I (the Catholic) 739-757 d.
Fruela I 757-768 as.
Aurelio 768-774 d.
Silo 774-783 d.
Mauregato 783-789 d.
Bermudo I (the Diacone) 789-791 ab.
Alfonso II (the Chaste) 791-842 ab.
Ramiro I 842-850 d.
Ordoño I 850-866 d.
Alfonso III (the Great) 866-910 dep. by his sons, who divide his kingdom amongst themselves.
Fruela II 910-925 d. Also King of León, 924-925

in the period starting in 910 and moving forward the kingdoms of Asturias and Galicia are combined with the Kingdom of Leon

NB: As far as I can tell there were never actually separate Kingdoms of Asturias and Galicia, they were always one unit. The only reference I can find to a King of Galicia who was not also King of Asturias was one Garcia, in 1065, who recieved it as part of a partitioning of Leon after the death of Ferdinand I but never actually ruled it, being prevented from doing so By Sancho II of Castille, and imprisoned until his death in 1075 by Sancho's successor, Alfonso VI.
