 His wording—"Comes Petrus de Trava in Gallecia"—may be derived from the corresponding passage in the "Historio compostelana", where Pedro is named "Petrus Froylaz Comes de Trava".By 11 January 1096 Pedro had received the title of "count" ("comes" in Latin), the highest title bestowed in the kingdoms of León and Castile.In that year he appealed to the king to intervene to settle a dispute he had with the Abbey of Samos, which the king did.
