She married King Edward of Portugal on 22 September 1428. They had nine children, of whom five survived to adulthood.
When her husband died on 13 September 1438, she was appointed regent of Portugal in his will, which was confirmed by the Portuguese Cortes. However, she was inexperienced and, as an Aragonese, unpopular with the people, who preferred the late king's brother Infante Peter, Duke of Coimbra. The confirmation of her regency therefore caused a riot in Lisbon. The riot was suppressed by her brother Count John of Barcelona, later King John II of Aragon. Eleanor was supported by the nobility and the will, while Peter was supported by a fraction of the nobility and by the people. Negotiations for a compromise arrangement were drawn out over several months, but were complicated by the interference of the Count of Barcelos, who supported her, and the Archbishop of Lisbon, who supported Peter. This period also witnessed the birth to her of a posthumous daughter, Joan in March 1439 and the death of her eldest daughter, Philippa.
The follow dynasts are descendants, in the male line, of Urraca's first husband, Raymond of Burgundy.
Claimants as King of Castile and Léon
John of Gaunt claimed the title of King of Castile and Léon by virtue of his marriage to Constance, daughter of Peter of Castile. He conducted several military actions, borrowing heavily from London merchants, to solidify his title, without success.
The Crown of Castile existed on its own right within the Spanish crown and with its own law until the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty after the War of Spanish Succession.
Suggested reading
Barton, Simon. The Aristocracy in Twelfth-Century León and Castile. Cambridge University Press, 1997. Appendix I: "The Counts of Twelfth Century León and Castile and Aragon, pp.235–302.
On the death of Eleanor's mother in 1375, her father married Sibila of Fortia, who had been Eleanor of Sicily's lady-in-waiting. This caused disagreements between King Peter and his children especially John.
At Soria on the 18 June 1375, Eleanor married John I of Castile. Her marriage was arranged as part of the arrangements for peace between Aragon and Castile agreed at Almazán on the 12 April 1374 and at Lérida on the 10 May 1375.
Covering an area of 47,719km2 (18,424sqmi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west-east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the Aneto, the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.
The river, used for irrigation and hydroelectric power, is about 129 kilometres (80mi) long; its chief tributary is the Arga River.
Ecology
Non-government sanctioned re-introduction of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Spain around 2003 has resulted in tell-tale beaver signs documented on a 60-kilometre (37mi) stretch on the lower course of the Aragon River and the area adjoining the Ebro River in Aragon, Spain.

The Brilliant Rivalry of Anne Boleyn and Katherine of Aragon
Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn - the first two wives of the Tudor king, Henry VIII - are so often portrayed as opposites. Katherine as the loyal, scorned wife - Anne as the bright, bewitching upstart.
But now Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb returns to Hever Castle to explore what Anne and Katherine were really like - two well-educated women whose personalities and actions lie at the heart of the upheaval of Henry VIII’s reign. They shape this story - and play just as large a role in it as any of the men.

Catherine of Aragon: Facial Reconstructions & History Documentary
Today, I’m thrilled to welcome back Dr. Emma for another deep dive into one of our favorite subjects—Katherine of Aragon! As always, our conversation branches into so many fascinating Tudor topics that it’s hard to list them all. But this episode is fittingly titled Katherine of Aragon: The Queen of Queens, because the more we discuss her, the more I’m struck by her immense contributions to Tudor history. It’s also a reminder of just how strategic Henry VII was in securing that powerful marriage alliance with Spain.

Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn - the first two wives of the Tudor king, Henry VIII - are so often portrayed as opposites. Katherine as the loyal, scorned wife - Anne as the bright, bewitching upstart.
But now Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb returns to Hever Castle to explore what Anne and Katherine were really like - two well-educated women whose personalities and actions lie at the heart of the upheaval of Henry VIII’s reign. They shape this story - and play just as large a role in it as any of the men.
You can watch the full episode here on History Hit TV: https://access.historyhit.com/what-s-new/videos/anne-boleyn-katherine-of-aragon-brilliant-rivals

Although Anne and Katherine’s rivalry changed history, Suzannah poses a surprising question: did these fascinating, well-educated women have more in common than separated them?

"Top Female Historians Debate The Greatest Queens In History"
Who was the greatest queen in history? Five top female historians arrive at the History Hit debating chamber to decide.
The celebrations marking the platinum jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II present the perfect opportunity to take the long view on some of the other women who have been queen in Britain - from the 12th century Empress Matilda right through to Queen Victoria. In a lively and fascinating debate, Prof Suzannah Lipscomb, Dr Eleanor Janega, Prof. Anna Whitelock, Dr Hannah Greig and Prof. Kate Williams discuss what makes a great queen and map out some of the successes and failures of Elizabeth II's famous predecessors.
This is a free flowing conversation amongst some of our top historians, celebrating and scrutinising female monarchs - they even debate which one would be the most fun in the pub and who were the best and worst female rulers.

Lady Eleanor Talbot - The ‘Secret Queen’ That Changed History?
Following the Battle of Bosworth Field, the wars of the roses was over. On the battlefield in Leicestershire lay thousands of dead soldiers, along with a King who was slain in the fighting. King Richard III was killed, and after this King Henry VII was crowned nearby and then the Tudor era, possible the most notorious period of English history began. But Richard III should never have been the King, as the Princes in the Tower went missing. Inside of the Tower of London, Edward V, the heir to Edward IV’s throne and his brother Richard the Duke of York were waiting for the coronation of Edward. But they were under the control and care of Richard who was then the Duke of Gloucester. However the boys then went missing, in one of the greatest mysterious in English history. Following this Richard III seized the throne, and declared the boys illegitimate claiming that their mother Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV’s marriage was invalid, due to the fact Edward IV had a legal precontract of marriage with another woman. But who was this other woman? As it was this illegitimate marriage allegedly that would change history forever?

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome back Dr. Emma for another deep dive into one of our favorite subjects—Katherine of Aragon! As always, our conversation branches into so many fascinating Tudor topics that it’s hard to list them all. But this episode is fittingly titled Katherine of Aragon: The Queen of Queens, because the more we discuss her, the more I’m struck by her immense contributions to Tudor history. It’s also a reminder of just how strategic Henry VII was in securing that powerful marriage alliance with Spain.

Was this how the young and beautiful Catherine of Aragon looked before she married Henry VIII?
Tudor Artist Michael Sittow worked with Catherine of Aragon as the model in his painting of Mary Magdalene. The picture is currently in the Detroit Institute of Art and shows clearly the beautiful Catherine of Aragon.
This is a video about Catherine of Aragon in Michael Sittow's painting, Mary Magdalene.

00:47 Young Henry VIII at 17
00:54 The Beautiful Catherine of Aragon at 23
Catherine of Aragon married Prince Arthur in 1501, and his death five months later left her stranded in England.
Between Arthur’s death and Catherine marrying Henry, Michael Sittow, famous for painting Henry VII, painted young Catherine as Mary Magdalene.
Using this Michael Sittow painting, we were able to recreate her youthful and beautiful looks using AI.
Sittow captured Catherine’s grief due to her husband and mother’s death. Her father appointed her the Spanish Ambassador To England at the time.
Henry VIII initially refused to marry Catherine and was betrothed to her Habsburg niece, Eleanor of Austria.
However, when he ascended after Henry VII died, Henry VIII announced that he would marry Catherine of Aragon and obtained Papal consent for Catherine to be his Queen of England.
Was this how the beautiful 23 years old Catherine of Aragon looked, for Henry VIII to reject a Habsburg match to marry her?

Eleanor of Aquitaine, duchess in her own right and Queen of France at 15. She traded an unhappy marriage to Louis VII for a younger man whom she helped make King Henry II of England. But when their marriage turned sour as well she supported their sons against him in one of the worst family feuds in History.

It’s time for another counterfactual exploration - what would have happened if Katherine of Aragon had capitulated to Henry’s request that their marriage be set aside; if she had agreed that it should be annulled?

#Tudor #History #GreatMatter
Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn - the first two wives of the Tudor king, Henry VIII - are so often portrayed as opposites. Katherine as the loyal, scorned wife - Anne as the bright, bewitching upstart.
But now Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb returns to Hever Castle to explore what Anne and Katherine were really like - two well-educated women whose personalities and actions lie at the heart of the upheaval of Henry VIII’s reign. They shape this story - and play just as large a role in it as any of the men.
You can watch the full episode here on History Hit TV: https://access.historyhit.com/what-s-new/videos/anne-boleyn-katherine-of-aragon-brilliant-rivals
Suzannah sifts through the evidence, the love letters sent by Henry Viii and two near-identical bibles owned by Anne and Katherine that Hever have brought together for the first time in nearly 500 years. They are full of clues about the women's personalities and beliefs.
Although Anne and Katherine’s rivalry changed history, Suzannah poses a surprising question: did these fascinating, well-educated women have more in common than separated them?
And make sure you stay tuned right to the end - you won't want to miss the secret pink bathroom where Anne read Henry's love letters!Sign up to History Hit TV now and get 14 days free: http://access.historyhit.com/checkout
