'''Íñigo I Íñiguez''', called '''Arista''' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and '''Aritza''' or '''[[Aiza]]''' in [[Basque language|Basque]] (his Basque name was ''Eneko Enekones'') (c.[[781]] – [[852]]) was the first king of [[Kingdom of Pamplona|Pamplona]] ([[810]] or [[824]]-[[851]] or [[852]]). He was also apparently count of [[Bigorre]] and [[Sobrarbe]]. He was the son of Íñigo Jiménez and Oneca. His elder brother (or kinsmen of some sort), García Jiménez, held a veritable principality in [[Vasconia]]. He was the father of the other Navarrese dynasty, the [[Jiménez]].

After the death of his father, his mother married secondly [[Musa ibn Musa ibn Fortún]] of the [[Banu Qasi]], [[Moslem]] king of [[Tudela (Navarre)|Tudela]], one of the chief lords of Valley of the [[Ebro]]. This marriage made Eneko influential over large territories in the [[Pyrenees|Pyrenean]] valleys.

The family of [[Velasco]] was the chief rival of Eneko and the Banu Qasi and the chiefest of allies of the [[Franks]] in [[Hispania|Spain]]. In [[799]], pro-Frankish assassins murdered [[Mutarrif ibn Muza]], governor of [[Pamplona]], who belonged to the Banu Qasi. A Velasco moved into the vacuum and the Frankish influence spread westwards in [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberia]]. In [[824]], the Frankish counts Elbe and Aznar made another expedition against Pamplona. This led Eneko to overthrow the Frankish underlings. He was pronounced "King of Pamplona" in that city by the people. Eneko was a ''Christicolae princeps'' ([[Christian]] prince), according to [[Eulogio de Córdoba]]. However, his kingdom combined both Moslem and Christian to maintain independence against outside powers. All was not peace between the [[Moor]]s and the [[Basque people|Basques]], however. [[Abd-ar-Rahman II]], [[emir of Córdoba]], made reprisals against Pamplona.

This was a time of conflict with the [[Vikings]] and, according to [[Moorish]] chronicles, Eneko's son [http://usuarios.lycos.es/reinosmedievales/historiareinonavarra.htm] was captured by the Norse and released for an immense ransom [http://www.uv.es/~ivorra/Historia/AEM/SigloIXd.htm]. In [[841]] [http://www.historiavasca.com/productos1084489.html], Eneko fell victim to [[paralysis]] [http://www.uv.es/~ivorra/Historia/AEM/SigloIXc.htm] in battle against the Norse with Musa ibn Musa. His son [[Garcia I of Pamplona|García]] acted as [[regent]]. Eneko died in 851 or 852, and apparently was succeeded by his kinsman [[Jimeno I of Pamplona|Jimeno Garcés]], lord of [[Álava]], and apparently a ruler in [[Vasconia]]. Eneko, however, also left a son, the aforementioned García, who managed to become the sole king in [[860]]. The Basque dynasty (in the form of the Jiménez line) ruled Navarre from the [[9th century]] to [[1234]]. Eneko's own male line lost the throne in [[905]]. Later kings of Pamplona were Eneko's descendants through the female line.
