Gómez was a regular patron of the Cistercian monastery of Sobrado dos Monxes that had been founded by his grandfather, Fernando Pérez de Traba, endowing it with gifts on four separate occasions in 1165, 1166, 1171, and 1180.

His elder brother, Fernando González, died prematurely in 1166 and Gómez became the head of the House of Traba.
