Sancho III (c. 1134 – 31 August 1158), called the Desired (el Deseado),[a] was King of Castile and Toledo for one year, from 1157 to 1158. He was the son of Alfonso VII of León and Castile and his wife Berengaria of Barcelona, and was succeeded by his son Alfonso VIII. His nickname was due to his position as the first child of his parents, born after eight years of childless marriage.

During his reign, the Order of Calatrava was founded. It was also in his reign that the Treaty of Sahagún in May 1158 was decided.

Life
Sancho was the eldest son of King Alfonso VII of León and Castile and Berengaria of Barcelona.[1] He was endowed with the "Kingdom of Nájera" in 1152, and according to Carolina Carl never appears in documents as "king of Nájera".[2] His father's will partitioned the kingdom between his two sons: Sancho inherited the kingdoms of Castile and Toledo, and Ferdinand inherited León.[3] The two brothers had just signed a treaty when Sancho suddenly died in the summer of 1158, being buried at Toledo.[4]

During his reign, the castle of Calatrava-la-Vieja was conceded to Abbot Raymond Serrat of Fitero, who proposed using the lay brothers of his monastery as knights to defend this castle. These knights would give rise to the Order of Calatrava, which was confirmed in 1164 by Pope Alexander III.[5][6]

The Treaty of Sahagún of May 1158, outlined the spheres of conquests between Leonese and Castilian against al-Andalus. A possible division of the Portuguese kingdom among the two sons of Alfonso VII, would come to nothing due to the premature death of Sancho.[7][8]

Marriage
Sancho married, in 1151, Blanche of Navarre, daughter of García Ramírez of Navarre,[9] and had:

Alfonso VIII of Castile, his successor[10]
infante García, who died at birth in 1156, apparently also resulting in the death of Queen Blanche.[11]
Notes[edit]
^ The early 13th-century historian Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada called him desiderabilis Sancius.

Sancho VII foi casado duas vezes. Sua primeira esposa foi Constance , filha de Raymond VI de Toulouse e Beatrice de Béziers , com quem ele se casou em 1195.

Ele a repudiou alguns anos depois. A identidade de sua segunda esposa é contestada; algumas fontes a mencionam como Clemence, filha de Frederico I, Sacro Imperador Romano , enquanto outras fontes afirmam que ela era filha de Yusuf II , um emir do Marrocos .

Sancho VII não tinha filhos conhecidos de nenhuma das duas esposas. Segundo Carlos de Viana , no entanto, ele tinha um filho com a segunda mulher, que morreu num acidente quando tinha 15 anos.

Como resultado de uma doença prolongada e dolorosa, começando com uma úlcera varicosa na perna direita e envergonhado dela e sua consequente obesidade, Sancho se aposentou em Tudela em algum momento, quando sua irmã mais nova Blanche veio de Champagne e assumiu a administração do reino até sua morte em 1229.

Sua irmã mais velha, Berengária, Rainha da Inglaterra, morreu em 1230, deixando Sancho sozinho entre os filhos de Sancho VI.

Quando ele morreu em seu castelo em Tudela, provavelmente de complicações relacionadas à úlcera varicosa em sua perna, seu único sobrinho e filho de Blanche, Teobaldo IV de Champagne, foi reconhecido como seu sucessor. Sancho VII de Navarra
