 In the Codex the other kings of León are simply styled "kings" ("regis"), although Ordoño II's successor, Ramiro II, is called "great king" ("Ranimirus rex Magnus").In 1034 the city of León was conquered by Sancho III of Pamplona, known as "the Great".The imperial pretensions of Sancho and his titulature have been vigorously debated ever since Ramón Menéndez Pidal referred to him as an "anti-emperor" ("antiemperador").
