Hermenegildo's father was definitely Gutierre, but I think we would be best to leave off the patronymic. The style of using patronymics, at least in charters, did not arise until the next generation (which is why most of the lineages terminate at this point). That his father's name was Aloito is based a collection of charters of doubtful authenticity only surviving from very late copies that give the family an unbroken male lineage from the Visigoth kings and in the process giving the monastery they supposedly patronized a claim to land title dating back just as far. Gutierre is the last who can be found in solid contemporary documentation, and he only appears by this single name, never with the patronymic, so I think we are better off without it.
