Summary
DescriptionGuize & Ayose (30406477034).jpg |
On the FV-30 road, just passed Morro Velosa viewpoint but before Betancuria, we find a viewpoint with two impressive four meters high bronze statues representing the former Kings of Fuerteventura. Before the conquest in 1402, Guise ruled Jandia, the southern part of Fuerteventura and Ayose ruled Maxorata, the northern part. Their kingdoms were separated by a low wall, located where now stands these statues. Text on the panel next to the statues: When the Norman conquerors arrived on Fuerteventura at the end of 1402, they found an island divided into two kingdoms. At the start of the invasion the islanders defended their territory against the Normans, who sustained small losses. However, the technical superiority of the conquerors and the weakness of both kingdoms, debilitated by their continuous warring during the years prior to the invasion, soon obliged the defenders to surrender to the invading forces that were to be their new lords. Following the surrender, Guise and Ayose were re-christened, together with their subjects, the king of the northern area took the Christian name of Luis whilst his counterpart in the south took the name of Alfonso. Tradition situates the Pared de Jandia on the border between the two kingdoms. However it may possibly have been more to the north close to this site. Following the conquest of Fuerteventura and with the council established in the town of Santa Maria de Betancuria, this territorial division was maintained as the administrative division. The line that would run from Puerto de la Pena to Barranco de la Torre would have been the boundary of the areas governed by Guise and Ayose. Up until the 17th century two 'annual governors' were chosen, one by Guise and the other by Ayose, who represented the interests of the villages and towns in the council. |
