Blanca de Castilla, nieta de Leonor de Aquitania , hija de Alfonso VIII de Castilla y hermana de Berenguela de Castilla fue reina de Francia y madre de San Luis de Francia. Regine Pernoud desarrolla su biografía de una forma amena y muy fácil de leer. ( ) 2249 Blanche of Castile, by Regine Pernoud translated by Henry Nash (read 19 Nov 1989) This is a simply written book, though there was quite a bit of research. But the research is revelatory of such minor details! Blanche was born Mar 4, 1188, in the castle of Palencia,in Castile, the daughter of King Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor of Castile. Eleanor was the daughter of Eleanor of Aquitane. Blanche married Philip Augustus' son, who became Louis VIII and reigned from 1223 to 1226. She was the mother of St Louis IX, and such of course is her main claim to fame. She died 3 P.M. on either Nov 26 or 27, 1252. and is buried at the abbey of Naubuisson--her gravestone was an enameled copper plate. "It remained in place until the French Revolution, when it was melted down for scrap metal." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Queen of France and very nearly of England, Blanche of Castile was a beautiful, fascinating woman and a wise and able ruler whose personality and political power dominated Western Europe in the first half of the thirteenth century. She was the granddaughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the mother of France's only canonized king, Louis IX, and it was her efforts that led to the great victory over England at the Battle of Bouvines. Her husband, Louis VIII died after three years on the throne, leaving Blanche as regent during her sons minority from 1226 until 1234. Due to her shrewd combination of diplomacy, beating her enemies to the punch, and her influence on Louis IX, kept a whole France for him to inherit on her death.
