This act challenged
Mozarabic power in Coimbra, especially due to the growing Frankish predominance, an elite with whom the Mozarabs continued to dispute control of the city, despite being at a clear disadvantage. The lack of a Mozarabic leader of the caliber of the late Sesnando, who could balance

On April 22, 1093, Alfonso confirmed, in
Coimbra, the charter he had granted years earlier, in 1085. The urgency of the frontier matter was such that the monarch celebrated that year's Easter while traveling, probably in Tui. Martín was among those who confirmed this new charter, along with Bishop

Mozarabic influence over Coimbra, he did not delay: even before the death of the alvazil, at Easter 1091, he appointed a new bishop for the city: Bishop Crescónio, who had been Abbot of Tui, and was recognized by all as the monarch's choice for the

Martín was chosen by his father-in-law, Sesnando
Davides, as his successor in governing the county of Coimbra. Thus, it is likely that the succession between father-in-law and son-in-law was relatively peaceful in the city. Unlike his father-in-law, Martín effectively used the title of

Martín was the son of Monio
Fromariques, most likely the son of Fromarico Moniz, who in turn was the brother of the then lord of Ribadouro and head of the family, Egas Moniz I of Ribadouro. His mother, Elvira Gondesendes, is of uncertain origin.
158:. Accompanying Alfonso, Martín headed south, and between April 30 and May 5 of that same year, saw the fall of the three frontier cities promised to the King of León, who entrusted them to his son-in-law and likely trusted man, Count Raymond.

Thus, the death of alvazil
Sesnando Davides, Martín's father-in-law, on December 25, 1091, did not mark the immediate end of Mozarabic administration in Coimbra, which had been in place since 1064, the year of the city's reconquest by

Through marriage, Martín connected himself to two significant political entities. He married Elvira
Sisnandes de Coimbra, the only daughter of the renowned Sisnando Davides, the

In this grand "gift" to his son-in-law, Alfonso also took the opportunity to remove Martín from the governance of
Coimbra in 1093, transferring it to the same son-in-law.
