"Berengaria, Queen of Castile, eldest daughter of Alfonso VIII, King of Castile and Eleanor of England, was born Aug. 1181. She married first 23 April 1188 Konrad II, Duke of Swabia and Rothenburg. They had no issue and were subsequently divorced. She married (2nd) as his second wife, at Valladolid in Dec. 1197 Alfonso IX of Leon, King of Leon, Galicia, and Badajoz, son and Heir of Fernando II, King of Leon, by his first wife, Urraco, daughter of Afonso I, King of Portugal. They had two sons, Fernando III (King of Castile and Leon) and Alfonso do Molina, and three daughters, Leonor, Berengaria, and Constanza (nun). A papal dispensation for this marriage was refused, and Leon was placed under an interdict, 1202-1204. The couple separated owing to consanguinity in 1204, after which she became a nun at Las Huelgas. She abdicated the throne of Castile 31 August 1217, in favor of her son, Fernando. She died at Las Huelgas near Burgos 8 Nov. 1246, and was buried there in the Cistercian monastery Santa Maria la Real (called de la Huelgas)."
