Notes:

She was the Princess Castile & Leon, and later became the Queen of England.

Eleanor of Castile (1241 ? 28 November 1290) was an English queen consort, the first wife of Edward I, whom she married as part of a political deal to affirm English sovereignty over Gascony.
The marriage was known to be particularly close, and Eleanor travelled extensively with her husband. She was with him on the Ninth Crusade, when he was wounded at Acre, but the popular story of her saving his life by sucking out the poison has long been discredited. When she died, at Harby near Lincoln, her grieving husband famously ordered a stone cross to be erected at each stopping-place on the journey to London, ending at Charing Cross.

Eleanor was better educated than most medieval queens and exerted a strong cultural influence on the nation. She was a keen patron of literature, and encouraged the use of tapestries, carpets and tableware in the Spanish style, as well as innovative garden designs. She was also a successful businesswoman, endowed with her own fortune as Countess of Ponthieu. [1]

Eleanor married King Edward I "Longshanks" PLANTAGENET on 18 Oct 1254 in Abbey Of Las Huelgas, Burgos, Castile, Spain. Edward (son of King Henry III PLANTAGENET, Of England and Countess Eleanor BERENGER, Of Provence) was born on 18 Jun 1239 in Palace of Westminster, Westminster, Middlesex, England; was christened on 22 Jun 1239 in Westminster, London, Middlesex, England; died on 7 Jul 1307 in Near Calais, Scotland Enroute Battle With Scotts; was buried on 27 Oct 1307 in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England.

Notes:

From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Ferdinand III:"

"canonized Feb. 4, 1671; feast day May 30"

"also called SAINT FERDINAND, Spanish SAN FERNANDO, king of Castile from 1217 to 1252 and of Leon from 1230 to 1252 and conqueror of the Muslim cities of C?ordoba (1236), Ja?en (1246), and Seville (1248). During his campaigns, Murcia submitted to his son Alfonso (later Alfonso X), and the Muslim kingdom of Granada became his vassal.

"Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of Leon and Berenguela, daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile. When born, he was the heir to Leon, but his uncle, Henry I of Castile, died young, and his mother inherited the crown of Castile, which she conferred on him. His father, like many Leonese, opposed the union, and Ferdinand found himself at war with him. By his will Alfonso IX tried to disinherit his son, but the will was set aside, and Castile and Leon were permanently united in 1230.

"Ferdinand married Beatrice of Swabia, daughter of the Holy Roman emperor, a title that Ferdinand's son Alfonso X was to claim. His conquest of Lower Andalusia was the result of the disintegration of the Almohad state. The Castilians and other conquerors occupied the cities, driving out the Muslims and taking over vast estates."

In 1217 Ferdinand became King of Castile, which crown his mother renounced in his favour, and in 1230 he succeeded to the crown of Leon, though not without civil strife, since many were opposed to the union of the two kingdoms. He took as his counsellors the wisest men in the State, saw to the strict administration of justice, and took the greatest care not to overburden his subjects with taxation, fearing, as he said, the curse of one poor woman more than a whole army of Saracens. Following his mother's advice, Ferdinand, in 1219, married Beatrice, the daughter of Philip of Swabia, King of Germany, one of the most virtuous princesses of her time. God blessed this union with seven children: six princes and one princess. The highest aims of Ferdinand's life were the propagation of the Faith and the liberation of Spain from the Saracen yoke. Hence his continual wars against the Saracens. He took from them vast territories, Granada and Alicante alone remaining in their power at the time of his death. In the most important towns he founded bishoprics, reestablished Catholic worship everywhere, built churches, founded monasteries, and endowed hospitals. The greatest joys of his life were the conquests of Cordova (1236) and Seville (1248). He turned the great mosques of these places into cathedrals, dedicating them to the Blessed Virgin. He watched over the conduct of his soldiers, confiding more in their virtue than in their valour, fasted strictly himself, wore a rough hairshirt, and often spent his nights in prayer, especially before battles. Amid the tumult of the camp he lived like a religious in the cloister. The glory of the Church and the happiness of his people were the two guiding motives of his life. He founded the University of Salamanca, the Athens of Spain. Ferdinand was buried in the great cathedral of Seville before the image of the Blessed Virgin, clothed, at his own request, in the habit of the Third Order of St. Francis. His body, it is said, remains incorrupt. Many miracles took place at his tomb, and Clement X canonized him in 1671. His feast is kept by the Minorites on the 30th of May.

Fernando married Jeanne (Joan) DAMMARTIN in Oct 1237 in Castile, Burgos, Spain. Jeanne (daughter of Count Simon DAMMARTIN, II and Countess Marie (Or Jeanne) De PONTHIEU) was born about 1216 in Of, Dammartin, Seine-Et-Marne, France; died on 15 Mar 1279 in Abbeville, Somme, France; was buried in 1279.

Countess of Ponthieu, Montreuil, and Aumale

She was born about 1220, and succeeded to Ponthieu in 1251 on her mother's death. His widow, Queen Jeanne, returned to France in October 1254, where she took up residence at Abbeville in Ponthieu. Jeanne was co-heiress in 1259 to her cousin, Mahaut de Dammartin, Countess of Boulogne and Dammartin, by which she inherited the county of Aumale.

Foundation for Medieval Genealogy
JEANNE de Dammartin ([1220]-Abbeville 16 Mar 1279, bur monastery of Valoires). The De Rebus Hispani? of Rodericus Ximenes names "Mariam?mater Joann? Regin? Castell? et Legionis" as the daughter of "Comitis de Pontivo" and his wife "Adelodis" daughter of "Ludovico Regi Francorum" (and his wife "Elisabeth", an error for Constanza). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus?natu maiorem filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi?filius comitis de Augo?comes de Roceio". "Symon comes Pontivi et Monstreoli et?Maria comitissa dicte terre" granted "quatuor millaria alectium?annuatim" [four thousand herrings a year] to the nuns of Espaigne, at the request of "primogenite nostre J. ?regine Yspanie et Castelle", by charter dated Aug 1237. It is not known whether the document accords the queen?s title to Jeanne because she was already married or just betrothed at that date. The contract of marriage between "Ferrandi?regis Castelle et Toleti, Legionis et Galicie" and "donna Johanna?socero nostro?comite Pontivi" is noted in a charter dated Jan 1238 (N. S.) issued by Louis IX King of France, which also refers to the king of Castile's letter dated 31 Oct 1237. She succeeded her father as Ctss d'Aum?le in 1239. She succeeded her mother in 1250 as Ctss de Ponthieu. She returned to France after her first husband died[1361]. "Johanna?Castelle [regina]" confirmed a donation to Saint-Vulfran, for the souls of "?bone memorie?regis Castelle et Legionis quondam mariti nostri" and tor the salvation of "nostre et Fernandi?filii nostri primogeniti", by charter dated Aug 1255. "Jehans de Neele cuens de Pontieu de Monsteruel et d?Aubemarle" appointed "la noble dame Jehane?roine de Castele et de Lyon contesse de Pontieu nostre?fame" as his proxy to pursue a claim against the monks of Saint-Sauve by charter dated 17 Oct 1270. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death in 1279 of "regina Hispanie, domina Pontivi, mater Alienor? regin? Angli?".

Wiki (2-2014):
Joan of Dammartin (French: Jeanne de Dammartin; c.1220 - March 16, 1279) was Queen consort of Castile and Le?n (1252), suo jure Countess of Ponthieu (1251-1279) and Aumale (1237-1279). Her daughter, the English queen Eleanor of Castile, was her successor in Ponthieu. Her son and co-ruler in Aumale, Ferdinand II, Count of Aumale, predeceased her, so she was succeeded by her grandson John I, Count of Aumale, deceased at the Battle of Courtrai, 11 July 1302.

Joan was the eldest daughter of Simon of Dammartin, Count of Ponthieu (1180- 21 September 1239) and his wife Marie of Ponthieu, Countess of Montreuil (17 April 1199- 1251). Her paternal grandparents were Alberic II, Count de Dammartin and Mahaut de Clermont, daughter of Renaud de Clermont, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, and Cl?mence de Bar. Her maternal grandparents were William IV of Ponthieu and Alys, Countess of the Vexin, daughter of Louis VII of France and Constance of Castile.

After secret negotiations were undertaken in 1234, it was agreed that Joan would marry King Henry III of England. This marriage would have been politically unacceptable to the French, however, since Joan stood to inherit not only her mother's county of Ponthieu but also the county of Aumale that was vested in her father's family. Ponthieu bordered on the duchy of Normandy, and Aumale lay within Normandy itself. The French king Philip Augustus had seized Normandy from King John of England as recently as 1205, and Philip's heirs could not risk the English monarchy recovering any land in that area, since it might allow the Plantagenets to re-establish control in Normandy.

As it happened, Joan's father Simon had become involved in a conspiracy of northern French noblemen against Philip Augustus and to win pardon from Philip's son Louis VIII, Simon - who had only daughters - was compelled to promise that he would marry off neither of his two eldest daughters without the permission of the king of France. In 1235, the queen-regent of France, Blanche of Castile, invoked that promise on behalf of her son, King Louis IX of France, and threatened to deprive Simon of all his lands if Joan married Henry III. Henry therefore abandoned the project for his marriage to Joan and in January 1236 married instead Eleanor of Provence, the sister of Louis IX's wife.

In November 1235, Blanche of Castile's nephew, King Ferdinand III of Castile, lost his wife, Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen, and Blanche's sister Berengaria of Castile, Ferdinand's mother, was concerned that her widowed son might involve himself in liaisons that were unsuited to his dignity as king. Berengaria determined to find Ferdinand another wife, and her sister Blanche suggested Joan of Dammartin, whose marriage to the king of Castile would keep her inheritance from falling into hostile hands. In October 1237, at the age of about seventeen, Joan and Ferdinand were married in Burgos. Since Ferdinand already had seven sons from his first marriage to Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen, there was little chance of Ponthieu being absorbed by Castile.

They had four sons and one daughter:
Ferdinand II, Count of Aumale (1239-ca 1265) m. (after 1256) Laure de Montfort, Lady of Espernon (d before 08.1270), and had
issue:
Eleanor of Castile, Countess of Ponthieu, who married king Edward I of England and had issue
Louis (1243-ca 1275), who married Juana de Manzanedo, Lady of Gaton, and had issue
Simon (1244), died young and buried in a monastery in Toledo
John (1245), died young and buried at the cathedral in C?rdoba

She accompanied Ferdinand to Andalucia and lived with him in the army camp as he besieged Seville in 1248.

Upon her mother's death in 1251, Joan succeeded as Countess of Ponthieu and Montreuil, which she held in her own right.

After Ferdinand III died in 1252, Joan did not enjoy a cordial relationship with his heir, her stepson Alfonso X of Castile, with whom she quarreled over the lands and income she should have received as dowager queen of Castile. Sometime in 1253, she became the ally and supporter of another of her stepsons, Fadrique of Castile, who also felt Alfonso had not allowed him all the wealth their father had meant him to have. Joan unwisely attended secret meetings with Henry and his supporters, and it was rumored that she and Fadrique were lovers. This further strained her relations with Alfonso and in 1254, shortly before her daughter Eleanor was to marry Edward of England, Joan and her eldest son Ferdinand left Castile and returned to her native Ponthieu.

Sometime between May 1260 and 9 February 1261, Joan took a second husband, Jean de Nesle, Seigneur de Falvy et de La H?relle (died 2 February 1292). This marriage is sometimes said to have produced a daughter, B?atrice, but she was in fact a child of Jean de Nesle's first marriage. In 1263, Joan was recognized as countess of Aumale after the death of a childless Dammartin cousin. But her son Ferdinand died around 1265, leaving a young son known as John of Ponthieu.

During her marriage to Jean de Nesle, Joan ran up considerable debts and also appears to have allowed her rights as countess in Ponthieu to weaken. The death of her son Ferdinand in 1265 made her next son, Louis, her heir in Ponthieu but around 1275 he, too, died, leaving two children. But according to inheritance customs in Picardy, where Ponthieu lay, Joan's young grandson John of Ponthieu could not succeed her there; her heir in Ponthieu automatically became her adult daughter Eleanor, who was married to Edward I of England. It does not appear that Joan was displeased at the prospect of having Ponthieu pass under English domination; from 1274 to 1278, in fact, she had her granddaughter Joan of Acre (the daughter of Edward I and Eleanor) with her in Ponthieu, and appears to have treated the girl so indulgently that when she was returned to England her parents found that she was thoroughly spoiled.

That same indulgent nature appears to have made Joan inattentive to her duties as countess. When she died at Abbeville, in March 1279, her daughter and son-in-law were thus confronted with Joan's vast debts, and to prevent the king of France from involving himself in the county's affairs, they had to pay the debts quickly by taking out loans from citizens in Ponthieu and from wealthy abbeys in France.

They also had to deal with a lengthy legal struggle with Eleanor's nephew, John of Ponthieu, to whom Joan bequeathed a great deal of land in Ponthieu as well as important legal rights connected with those estates. The dispute was resolved when John of Ponthieu was recognized as Joan's successor in Aumale according to the inheritance customs that prevailed in Normandy, while Edward and Eleanor retained Ponthieu and John gave up all his claims there. By using English wealth, Edward and Eleanor restored stability to the administration and the finances of Ponthieu, and added considerably to the comital estate by purchasing large amounts of land there.

From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Ferdinand II:"

"king of Leon from 1157 to 1188, second son of Alfonso VII.

"Despite several internal revolts against his rule, Ferdinand's reign was notable for the repopulation of Leonese Extremadura and for the victories he secured farther south against the Almohads in the last 20 years of his reign. These included the capture of Alc?antara (1166) and Badajoz (1169). He also gave important support to the new military order of Santiago, founded with his approval in 1170. Ferdinand, who called himself rex hispanorum ("king of the Spaniards"), established a temporary tutelage over Castile during the minority of his nephew Alfonso VIII and occupied Segovia and Toledo (1162-66), though Alfonso later reacted violently against Ferdinand. Ferdinand was also frequently engaged in hostilities with the nascent Portuguese kingdom but came successfully to the rescue of the Portuguese when the Almohads invested the key city of Santar?em (1184)."


King of Leon (1157-88). He was the second son of Alfonso II, king of Castile, who was also king of Leon as Alfonso VII. Ferdinand was noted both for his intermittent wars with Castile an d Portugal and for his reorganization, about 1170, of the military Order of Saint James of th e Sword (Santiago de la Espada) to participate in the campaign to drive the Moors from Spain.

Ferdinand married Princess Urraca Alfonsez Of PORTUGAL, Of Portugal in 1160 in Leon, Leon, Spain. Urraca was born about 1141 in Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal; died on 16 Oct 1188 in Leon, Leon, Spain. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Alfonso VIII (1155-1214), king of Castile (1158-1214); he succeeded to the throne on the death of his father, Sancho III. Troubled by interference from Navarre in his youth, he later allied Castile with Arag?n, forming a connection that was eventually to become the basis for the unification of Spain. He also established Castilian dominance over Le?n. In 1170 he married Eleanor, daughter of King Henry II of England. From the 1170s, he resisted encroachments by the Almohads, Muslim invaders from northern Africa. Defeated by the Muslim caliph Yakub al-Mansur at Alarcos in 1195, Alfonso and his allies won a major victory over the Muslim commander al-Nasir at Navas de Tolosa in 1212.
