Sancha Alfonsa De Castile & LeÛn

Notes:

[large-G675.FTW]

SRCE for Sancha being the daughter of Zaida: (Canal) says that the chronicler was sanitizing the pedigree of those nasty muslims, and that Queen Isabel was an invention, Zaida/Isabel being the only Queen of that name. This latter option is followed by Salazar Acha as well, and appears in ES and the Vajay article.

[large-G675.FTW]

It may look like Zaida married her brother from this data! This is because of
a conflict between sources on who she was. Sources in Morocco are convinced
she was the daughter of the Emir. They claim that the Christians in Spain
removed and altered records that indicated a Muslim ancestory for their Royal
houses. The Emir was exiled in Morocco after being expelled from Spain, and it
is claimed records from this time are still in Morocco. I leave it for future
scholars to investigate. Others say she did not mother any children by Alfonso

Notes:

[large-G675.FTW]

The Aragon of 1035 was created at the death of Sancho III Garces, King of Navarre, Emperor of Spain. Navarre, the patrimony, was passed to his eldest son Garcia, Castile (acquired as a county through Sancho's wife) went to Fernando (the favorite, who through his marriage to the heiress of Leon/Asturias became king of the biggest chunk), teen age Gonzalo got the counties of Sorbrabe and Ribagorza (the claim to which also came to Sancho through Castile), while his bastard Ramiro was given Aragon, which had it's origins in a County of Aragon dating to the 9th century which came to Navarre through the marriage of Sancho's great-grandfather. Ramiro was to be vassal of Garcia, but in a series of squabbles in the following
years, he first threw off his brother's overlordship, and the absorbed Gonzalo's territories (Gonzalo having died under mysterious circumstances). In the following generation, Sancho Ramirez was able to take control of the Kingdom of Navarre following the murder of its king, Sancho IV Garces, (the western portion of that kingdom falling to the King of Castile, cousin Sancho Fernandez, hence Menendez Pidal's 'War of the Three Sanchos'). This was held by two sons of Sancho Ramirez, but was lost when both died without surviving issue, and a third brother, Ramiro
II was reluctantly recalled from a monastery. He married, had a daughter Petronilla, and engaged the infant to the adult Count of Barcelona, immediately returning to the monastic life. Petronilla's son Alfonso II inherited both territories. Thus the Aragon of 1035 was little more than the mountain county of the 9th century, and it was an
agressive policy of the first several generations which brought about the kingdom of status.
