Individual Details
Violante Infanta de Aragon
(1236 - 1301)
Yolande was born before 1238, possibly in 1236, the daughter of Jaime I 'the Conqueror', king of Aragón, and his second wife Violante of Hungary.
In Valladolid on 26 December 1246 she married the future King Alfonso X of Castile and León, the eldest son of Fernando III, king of Castile and León, and Elisabeth von Hohenstaufen. Because of her youth (Yolande was only 10 years old at the time of the marriage), she produced no children for several years and it was feared that she was barren. The oft-repeated claim that Alfonso almost had their marriage annulled is untrue, and they went on to have ten children of whom two daughters and four sons would have progeny.
Yolande died at Roncevalles in 1301.
