This was probably in an effort by the king to relieve himself of some of the influence of the overbearing former regent Nuño. The last record of Ponce in that office dates to 28 June 1173, and shortly thereafter he was reconciled to Ferdinand II. 695:, Ferdinand came to believe certain false rumours about Ponce de Minerva spread by his enemies at court.
