Bermudo I (also
Vermudo or
Veremund), called
the Deacon or
the Monk (c. 750 – 797), was the
King of Asturias from 788 or 789 until his
abdication in 791. He was a son of
Fruela of Cantabria, a nephew of
Alfonso I, and a brother of
Aurelius. The nature of the end of his reign ushered in a new period in Asturian-Arab relations.
