Castile
Paul Garner-Richards
Does anyone have a tree of the ancestors and descendants of Ferdinand III de
Castile, the father of Eleanor of Castile, wife of Edward I? I am also
looking for information on the ancestors of Eleanor Berenger of Provence,
wife of Henry III.
If Barney is reading this, I am not working on any project, just filling in
a few gaps in my family tree. Thanks for the help and I will get round to
obtaining a copy of Burkes.
Thanks to everyone who has given me help with my other enquiries. It is much
appreciated.
Thanks

Jeanne's mother was Marie, sometimes called Marie Talvas, countess in her
own right of Ponthieu and Montreuil (1198-1250). Simon, who was NOT count
of Aumale, was her first husband and died in 1239. (He was often assigned
the county of Aumale because his daughter Jeanne ultimately inherited it,
but it came to her on the death of a cousin in 1263, not from her father.)

Berengaria's mother was Dulcia/Douce, in her own right countess of
Provence (married Ramon 1112, said to have been living 1190[?]).
> Alfonso [VII] also married Rixa of Poland, daughter of Wladislaw II of

Rixa/Richenza's mother was Agnes v. Babenburg (married 1125 X 1127, d.
1157), daughter of Margrave Leopold III of Austria.
> Affonso [I of Portugal] married Mathilde de Savoie, daughter of Amédée III de
> Savoie C. of Savoy and Unknown, in 1146 (4).
Mathilde's mother was Mathilde (married ca 1120, d. 1145), daughter of Gui
VI, dauphin of Vienne.
> Marguerite married García Ramírez IV of Navarre K. of Navarre,
> son of Ramiro of Navarre and Unknown.
According to ES (Ysenburg-Buedingen/Freytag v. Loringhoven), Ramiro d.
1116 married a woman named Elvira, who was conjectured to be a daughter of
Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, otherwise "El Cid Campeador." This identification
was hypothetical and more recently may have been conclusively disproved.
John Carmi Parsons
1980), pp. 96-113, gives the following information for the children of
Fernando III of Castile:
Fernando's wife appears originally to have been named Ethisa, but all
Fernando's charters issued in Castile during this marriage give her name
as Beatriz.
1. Alfonso (X), b. Toledo 23 November 1221. His marriage and children are
noted below.
2. Fadrique (Frederick), b. shortly before 13 Sept 1223. The cause of his
death in 1277 was not a battle; he had persistently rebelled against his
brother Alfonso X, who finally had to imprison him and, in 1277, had him
secretly put to death in his prison. See Antonio Ballesteros Beretta's
magisterial biography of Alfonso X for details.
3. Ferdinand, b. shortly before 25 March 1225, living in 1243 and perhaps
in 1248, but was no longer living when Fernando III captured Seville in
that year.
4. Leonor, b.c. 1227, d. young.
5. Berengaria, b. 1228; made a nun at las Huelgas, Burgos, in 1243;
died late in 1288 or very early in 1289.
6. Enrique (Henry), b. shortly before 10 March 1230. Among the more
colorful royals of the 13th century, he too rebelled against Alfonso X and
following Enrique's defeat at Moron in 1255 he had to flee from Castile.
His cousin Louis IX of France refused to have anything to do with him, so
he took refuge at the English court where his half-sister Eleanor was
married to Edward, the heir to the throne. After four comfortable years
there, Henry III had to ask him to leave, so he went off to Africa to
serve as a mercenary with the Muslims in Morocco. In the 1260s he joined
his kinsman Charles, count of Anjou, in the latter's campaign to subdue
southern Italy and become king of Sicily. Charles thought highly of him
and saw to it that Henry was made Senator of Rome. In 1268 when Henry's
maternal cousin Conradin of Swabia (Hohenstaufen) made his ill-advised
invasion of Italy, Henry of Castile abruptly abandoned Charles and joined
Conradin. After the latter's defeat at Tagliacozzo and execution, Henry
vanished into a Neapolitan prison for 30 years. There are indications in
English royal wardrobe accounts that his sister, Queen Eleanor of England,
kept in touch with him during these years. Freed in 1298, Henry returned
to Castile, where he served as a politically erratic regent for his
grandnephew, Ferdinand IV. He died in August 1304, having allegedly married a
lady of the Lara family, but he left no reliably documented issue.
7. Felipe, b. shortly before 5 Dec. 1231. Though destined for the Church, he
abandoned his orders in 1258 to marry a Norwegian princess, who according to
tradition came to Castile to marry one of Felipe's brothers; when she arrived
he was so stunned by her beauty that he insisted upon marrying her instead.
(She was Christine, daughter of Haakon IV; b. 1234, she died childless in
1262.) Felipe subsequently married Leonor de Castro, but left no issue.
8. Sancho, b. probably 1233; like Felipe intended for the Church, he went on
to become archbishop of Toledo. Died 1275.
9. Juan Manuel, b. 1234, d. Nov. 1283. Lord of Escalona and Penafiel.
10. Maria, d. young very shortly before her mother Queen Beatriz in Nov.
1235, probably soon after Maria was born.
Upon the death of Fernando III's first wife in Nov. 1235, his mother Queen
Berengaria became concerned lest he become involved in liaisons with common
women unbecoming his royal dignity, and in her search for a new wife for
him she probably turned to her sister, Queen Blanche of France.
Fernando III took his second wife, Jeanne de Dammartin, in October 1237.
She was the eldest daughter and heir of Simon, a younger brother of Count
Renaud of Dammartin and Aumale (and jure uxoris of Boulogne), by Marie
"Talvas," in her own right countess of Ponthieu and Montreuil. Jeanne was
most probably born sometime between 1215 and 1220 and in 1235 had been
betrothed to Henry III of England, but Louis IX of France terminated the
betrothal because he did not want Henry to gain control of Jeanne's small
but strategically located inheritance, which lay immediately next to
Normandy (which Henry still claimed in 1237) and which controlled the
Somme estuary. Instead Louis (probably with his mother Blanche's active
assistance) instead packed Jeanne off to Castile to marry Fernando. After
Fernando III's death in 1252, Jeanne at first remained in Castile but
became estranged from her stepson Alfonso X who, Jeanne claimed, did not
permit her to control all the lands and incomes Fernando III had meant her
to have as a widow. She embraced the cause of her stepson Henry (above),
and as a result was compelled to leave Castile in 1254. She returned to
her native county, where her mother's death in 1250 had made her countess,
and lived there for the rest of her life. In 1258 she succeeded her cousin,
daughter of Count Renaud of Dammartin and Aumale, as countess of Aumale.
(Dammartin passed to another cousin.) In 1260 she took a second husband,
John de Nesle, but had no further issue. She died in March 1279. She
bore Fernando III five children:
11. Fernando, known in Castile as Fernando "de Pontis" ("of Ponthieu"),
born probably in the winter of 1238/39; went with his mother to Ponthieu
in 1254, was given lands there by her in 1257, and ca 1260 married Laure
de Montfort-l'Amaury, dame d'Epernon. They are known to have had only one
child, John, who was probably born ca 1263. Fernando de Pontis will have
died ca 1265 (his widow Laure was married by 1267 to the heir of the count
of Grandpre, and died in 1270, apparently w/o further issue). After his
grandmother Jeanne's death in 1279, John claimed a considerable amount of
land in Ponthieu he claimed Jeanne had intended him to have, and carried
out a long legal dispute in the French king's court against his aunt and
uncle, Queen Eleanor and King Edward I of England. Early in 1285 these
claims were resolved when John agreed to release to them all the right he
claimed in Ponthieu in return for 14,000 pounds Paris, and Eleanor and
Edward agreed to give up their claims to the county of Aumale.
12. Eleanor, b. late in 1241, d. Nov. 1290. Married 1 Nov. 1254 Edward,
later Edward I of England (1239-1307). They had sixteen children, for
whom I posted documentation to this list last year; it should be easily
recoverable from dejanews.
13. Louis, b. shortly before 30 April 1243; the date of his death is not
known with any certainty, but he certainly died before his mother Jeanne
drew up her testament in 1276. (Had he still be alive at that time, he
would have been her indisputable heir for Ponthieu, and in fact in one of
his few authentic charters, from 1269, he calls himself "heredero major
del condado de Pontis [first heir to the county of Ponthieu]"). He
married Juana de Manzaneda Giron, senora of Gaton, who survived him, and
left a son Louis, fl. April 1279. He is also said, on slender authority,
to have had a daughter Berengaria (OOW?) who married one Maimon "de castro
Aulino" before 1290 (F. Menendez Pidal de Navascues, *Heraldica medieval
Espanola, I: La casa real de Leon y Castille [Madrid, 1982], p. 106).
14. Ximen (Simon), of whom nothing is known except that he died young and
was buried in a monastery in Toledo, a statement from the *Primera cronica
general de Espana* written under the direction of his half-brother Alfonso X.
A burial in the north of Castile strongly suggests that he must have died
before Fernando III moved his military operations permanently to the south of
Spain early in 1244, when Queen Jeanne went with him. They never again lived
in the North. It is most likely, then, that Simon lived only briefly late in
1243 or very early in 1244.
15. John, date of birth unknown; buried in the *ecclesia mayor* of Cordoba,
that is, the spectacular cathedral there that was converted from a mosque. This
can tell us only that he died after Fernando III and Jeanne moved to the South
early in 1244. Presumably he was born either that year or the next, and lived
only a very short time. He was almost certainly not born after Fernando III
conquered Seville in 1248, or he would most likely have been buried in that
city.

I have one bastard by Fernando III, Sancho Fernandez, m. Teresa Gomes de Soria. A saint with a bastard? Please do correct me. Might be Fernando II's son.

291ff, indicates that the marriage of Fernando II and Urraca of Portugal
produced only one child, Alfonso IX. Fernando then married Teresa de
Trava in 1175/76, and she died in 1180 without bearing him further
children. Around 1185, Fernando is said to have married Urraca Lopez de
Haro, who bore him two sons, Sancho (d.s.p. 1220) and Garcia who also
d.s.p. though no date is given. However not all later authorities accept
the unions with Teresa de Trava or Urraca Lopez as legitimate marriages,
so that Sancho d. 1220 might have been OOW.
John Parsons
John Carmi Parsons
Further to my last posting, I find that ES (Ysenburg/Loringhoven) confuses
matters somewhat. Here Fernando II has only 2 wives, Urraca of Portugal
and Teresa Nunez de Lara, whom he espoused in 1176. The first marriage
produced only the future Alfonso IX. The second produced Sancho (1177-1217),
lord of Aguilar del Campo, m. Teresa Lopez de Haro and left issue; Garcia
(1179-84) and a Fernando who d. 1187.
So the information isn't at all congruent. Florez gives Fernando II 3
wives, ES 2, and the names don't agree--Florez says Teresa was the dau. of
Fernando Fernandez, count of Trava, and widow of Nuno de Lara, whereas ES
makes her DAUGHTER of Nuno de Lara, and doesn't mention Urraca Lopez de
Haro at all. ES's Sancho d. 1217, while Florez' d. 1220.
So possibly the Sancho d. 1220 was an OOW son of Fernando II by Urraca Lopez
de Haro, whoever she may have been.

Ramon Berenger III married several times, but the mother of this

This identification is still almost universally accepted among the
spanish genealogical community.

Elisabeth (who is also known as Margaret and Beatrix) is the daughter of
Philipp's one and only wife, Irina Angelina, previously married to a prince
of Sicily (no issue), the daughter of Isaac II Angelos, Emperor of Rome
(Byzantium) and his first wife, who is unknown.
Elisabeth's sisters were Beatrix, first wife of Emperor Otto IV; Kunegonde,
wife of Otakar I of Bohemia; and Maria, first wife of Henry II of Brabant.
The first was childless, the other three sisters were ancestresses of lines
whose heiresses ultimately married Habsburgs. But who didn't?

Thanks,
I had her in my file, but only linked to her first husband, I missed
the marriage to Philipp somehow.

Not to Premysl Ottokar I, but to his son, Wenceslas I.
