Reilly 1982, 56. The Crónicas anónimas de Sahagún gently inform us that «the noble count called Gómez, who at that time was living in Burgos with the queen, with a few went against them [the queen’s enemies] in the field of Espina» (el noble conde llamado Gómez, el qual en aquella saçón morava en Burgos con la reina, con pocos en el campo del Espina fue contra ellos). The Chronica latina regum Castellae, I, § 4, is similar: «The Castilians united with the count Gómez, called „of Candespina“, who was excessively and more than appropriately familiar with the queen, and they fought against the king Alfonso together at Sepúlveda, where they were defeated by the king and the count died.»
