Crónica del Obispo Pelayo de Oviedo: "El Rey Bermudo II tuvo por concubinas a dos hermanas pertenecientes a la nobleza. En una engendró al Infante don Ordoño y en otra a la Infanta Elvira".
En documento de 1058 doña Elvira se presenta como hermana de "Ordoño, Bermudo y Piniolo".

Although the name of his mother is not known, she was probably a member of the nobility of Galicia as suggested in a document from the Monastery of Samos, where his descendants and those of the Vela-Ovéquiz family shared a common inheritance based on a linea consaguinitatis (bloodline).
(Torres Sevilla-Quiñones de León 1999, p. 171)
A relevant member of the curia regis until at least 1032, Ordoño first appears in medieval documentation in 1001 when he served as a witness in a legal dispute involving count Rodrigo Romániz and Jimena Jiménez. He started to confirm royal charters in 1024 as the mayordomo mayor of his brother King Alfonso V of León. After the king's death in Viseu in 1028, Ordoño appears in 1029 exercising the same function in the court of his nephew, King Bermudo III.
