Leonor de Castilla y León, infanta de Castilla y León

Leonor de Trastámara (¿?, 1350 - Pamplona, 1415). Infanta de Castilla, reina consorte de Navarra, desde 1403, e hija de Enrique II el de las Mercedes y de la infanta Juana Manuel.

A la muerte de su padre heredó un importante señorío entre Roa y Sepúlveda, lo que le proporcionó un importante poderío. Fracasó un plan para casarse con Fernando I de Portugal en 1371, y en 1373 fue prometida al futuro Carlos III de Navarra, el Noble. Se casaron el 27 de mayo de 1375. En febrero de 1388 se separaron, tornando a la corte castellana. Tras varias negociaciones para que volviera en la que Leonor refería que en Navarra sufría malos tratos, Carlos III consiguió la entrega de su hija mayor Juana, para ser educada y jurada como heredera.

De esta unión nacieron:

Blanca (1385/91 - 1441), futura Blanca I, reina de Navarra Juana[cita requerida] (¿? - ¿?), que sería esposa de Luis de Beaumont, para cuyo matrimonio creó el condado de Lerín. María (¿? - ¿?) Margarita (¿? - ¿?), Beatriz (c. 1392 - Olite, 14 de diciembre de 1407), casada con Jaime II de La Marche, Isabel (¿? - ¿?), Carlos (¿? - ¿?), Principe de Viana, Carlos (¿?- ¿?), Principe de Viana. Leonor participó de forma activa en las intrigas en Castilla cuando su sobrino Enrique III el Doliente era menor de edad. Cuando paso a mayoría de edad, y dado que los enfrentamientos eran más intensos, fue devuelta a Navarra en marzo de 1395. A partir de entonces la relación de los esposos fue buena, siendo coronada en Pamplona en 1403, participando en el gobierno en ausencia de su esposo y colaborando en el entendimiento entre el reino de Navarra y la Corona de Castilla.

Eleanor of Castile (d. 1416) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Eleanor of Castile (after 1363 – 27 February 1416) was an infanta of Castile and the Queen consort of Navarre.

She was the daughter of King Henry II of Castile and his wife, Juana Manuel of Castile, from a cadet branch of the Castilian royal house. She married King Charles III of Navarre. Of eight children, only two survived their father: Blanche I of Navarre, wife of Juan II of Aragon, and Isabella de Navarre, wife of Jean IV d'Armagnac. Another daughter, Beatrice of Navarre, wife of James II, Count of La Marche, who predeceased her father, left progeny which survived him.
