Seems likely our birthdate is wrong.
Cawley gives Ordono as b. 830 and d. 866.
Cawley gives this Agaton as d. 6 Jun 878.
Can we infer that Agaton MUST have been born after Ordono (>830) or he would have been king? Or was Asturias a non-primo or elective monarchy in this era?
i) VERMUDO Gatónez . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Conde.

Unfortunately his HTML indents Savarico, so some folks might think he's the son of (his brother) Vermudo. The enumeration clarifies.
I have set the LNAB as Asturias. It should be either Asturias or Vierzo/Bierzo, depending on whether Gaton was really the son of Ramiro I, King of Asturias. See http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ASTURIAS,%20LEON.htm#VermudoIdied797A
