About Sancho Alfónsez, Infante de Castilla y León

-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sancho_Alf%C3%B3nsez



His birth altered the political situation in Castile. Although illegitimate, he was the only son of his father, born during his father's old age. Alfonso doted on him. By 1102 Sacho's name featured among the subscriptions to royal diplomas. In 1105 and 1106 his name headed the witness-lists, coming immediately after the royal subscription, above those of Raymond and Urraca. By 1107 it was clear that he was the heir apparent. In 1108 he was killed in battle.
