"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)."

Place of burial

The infobox at the top of the article page states that Berengaria is buried in the Capilla Real, Granada. However, Granada was still in Muslim possession at the time of Berengaria's death and remained so for nearly another 250 years - and the foundation of the Capilla Real there only happened after the conquest in 1492. I therefore suspect that this is an error, and that she is probably buried elsewhere - most likely, as she apparently died at Las Huelgas, in the Panteón Real there (as the quote in the note just above this already says). But I have not located any sources on this point that I can be sure are reliable. PWilkinson (talk) 12:52, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Early Family Life- "nanny"

I see in the GA Review section (which is not to be modified) that the phrase "Her nanny, Doña Elvira", is rendered "her nurse". I agree. "Nanny" is, I believe, English slang for a nurse, and wouldn't have been used in 12th-13th Century Castile. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 13:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Truth to be told, "nurse" would not be used in 12th-13th century Castile either. Surtsicna (talk) 14:03, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since "nurse" is an English word, of course not; there would be some Castilian (or archaic Spanish) term. But this is the English version of Wikipedia. See the Wictionary entry for "nurse": "Etymology ... Variant form of the archaic nourice, from Old French norrice, from Latin nutricius (“that nourishes”), from nutrix (“wet nurse”), from nutrire (“to suckle”)." And that, of course, is immaterial anyway: Wikipedia is a 21st Century thing. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC) I guess my point should have been that it would be better to use "nurse" than the slang substitute "nanny".
