About Estefanía Sánchez de Navarra

Estefanía Sánchez, the wife of Leonese count Fruela Díaz.[14][13]

a) ESTEFANÍA Sánchez (-after 19 Apr 1129). The carta de arras of “Froila prole de Diego” to “Estefanía hija de Sancho” is dated 11 Sep 1087, confirmed by “comes Fredenando Didaz”[536]. Estefanía´s royal ancestry is referred to in the charter dated 1 Mar 1112 under which “commes Henricus” (conde de Portugal) granted property to “commes Froila et uxori vestre Stephania, commitissa, ex regali sanguine et prosapie horta”[537]. Her connection with Sancho García, illegitimate son of García IV King of Navarre, is suggested by the charter dated to [1110/15] which refers to the donation of land “en Puente de la Reina” which previously belonged to “comes don Fruila et uxor eius domna Stephania et infans Ranimirus” to Pamplona Cathedral[538], “infans Ranimirus” in this document being identified by Canal Sánchez-Pagín (it would appear correctly) as the son of Sancho García[539]. The only element of doubt is the fact that Ramiro is called “infans” even though he was not the son of the monarch, although it should be noted that Ramiro Sánchez is given this title in both the “Corónicas” Navarras and the Crónica latina de los reyes de Castilla (see below). Estefanía made a purchase of property at Corniero without her husband in 1121, presumably a widow[540]. She granted a fuero to the community of Villarmildo 19 Apr 1129[541].

m (before 11 Sep 1087) FRUELA Díaz, son of DIEGO Pérez & his wife María Froilaz (-19 Feb [1119/21]). Mayordomo of Alfonso VI King of Castile 1 May 1106[542].
