Urraca of Castilla

(Est 1186 - 3 Nov 1220)

Urraca of Castile (1186/28 May 1187 – 3 November 1220) was a daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile and Leonora of England. Her maternal grandparents were Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. She was originally considered as a prospective bride for Louis VIII of France, but Eleanor of Aquitaine objected to her name (Urraca means magpie in Spanish), preferring the Spanish name of Urraca's sister Blanche, Blanca.[1]

In 1206 Urraca married Afonso II of Portugal. They were the parents of five children.
