Spain: Inigo Arista (c. 790 - 852), Basque leader and King of Pamplona, Plaza de Oriente, Madrid. Created by Spanish sculptor, José Oñate, c. 1750

Íñigo Arista (c. 790 – 851 or 852) was a Basque leader, considered the first King of Pamplona. He is thought to have risen to prominence after the defeat of local Frankish partisans in 816, and his rule is usually dated from shortly after the defeat of a Carolingian army in 824.
