The Bastard Kings and their families

This is series of posts are complementary to this historical parallels post from the JON SNOW FORTNIGHT EVENT, and it's purpouse to discover the lives of medieval bastard kings, and the following posts are meant to collect portraits of those kings and their close relatives.

In many cases it's difficult to find contemporary art of their period, so some of the portrayals are subsequent.

1) Ramiro I of Aragon (1006/7- 1063), son of Sancho III of Pamplona and Sancha de Aybar; with his son Sancho I of Aragon & V of Pamplona (1043-1094)

2) His wife, Ermesinda of Foix (1015 - 1049), mother of Sancho I of Aragon. Daughter of Bernard Roger de Foix and his wife Garsenda de Bigorra; and Sancha of Aragon (1045-1097), daughter of Ramiro I and Ermesinda

3) His father, Sancho III of Pamplona (992/96-1035), son of García II of Pamplona and Jimena Fernández

4) His brother, García III of Pamplona (1012-1054), son of Sancho III of Pamplona and his wife Muniadona of Castile

5) His nephew, Sancho IV of Pamplona (1039- 1076), son of García III of Pamplona and his wife Placencia of Normandy

6) His brother, Ferdinand I of Leon (1016- 1065), son of Sancho III of Pamplona and his wife Muniadona of Castile

7) His niece, Urraca of Zamora (1033-1101), daughter of Ferdinand I of Leon and Sancha of Leon

8) His niece, Elvira of Toro (1038-1099), daughter of Ferdinand I of Leon and Sancha of Leon

9) Sancho II of Castile (1038/1039-1072), son of Ferdinand I of Leon and Sancha of Leon

10) Alfonso VI of Leon (1040/1041-1109), son of Ferdinand I of Leon and Sancha of Leon

• Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed, (7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614), was a Hungarian noblewoman and "purported serial killer" from the family of Báthory, who owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary.

• Urraca of Zamora (1033/34 – 1101) was a Leónese infanta, one of the five children of Ferdinand I the Great, who received the city of Zamora as her inheritance and exercised palatine authority in it. Her story was romanticized in the cantar de gesta called the Cantar de Mio Cid, and Robert Southey's Chronicle of the Cid.

• Catherine de’ Medici, was queen consort of Henry II of France and subsequently regent of France (1560–74), who was one of the most influential personalities of the Catholic–Huguenot wars. Three of her sons were kings of France: Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III.

• Archduchess Margaret of Austria was Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands from 1507 to 1515 and again from 1519 to 1530. She was the first of many female regents in the Netherlands.

• Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford and Earl of Pembroke also called Jasper of Hatfield, was the uncle of King Henry VII of England and a leading architect of his nephew's successful accession to the throne in 1485. He was from the noble Tudor family of Penmynydd in North Wales.

• Mary was the eldest of three surviving children of Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn. Much like her siblings, Anne and George, many details regarding Mary’s formative years remain something of a mystery, and we cannot be exactly certain in which order the siblings were born. We can, however, be fairly certain that the children were born between 1500 and 1507, at the Boleyn estate of Blickling Hall, in Norfolk.

If your current monarch could freely choose their successor with no limits placed on their decision, who would they pick? would it be different than their current heir?

Ooooooooooo !!!!!!!

Eloise's only heir right now is little Prince Lenerd. I don't think she'd want to hand her throne to an actual baby, so- She would for sure not be able to resist giving her throne to her great aunt, Crown Princess Lorriane of Uspana. Is it constitutionally impossible? Yes. Is Eloise an alt history nerd? Also, yes. This bitch is a dropout student of history, she's totally played an 80+ hour campaign as Uspana in the in-universe version of Europa Uni/Victoria/Crusader Kings/Civ. Her attitude is fuck tradition, because no one in her immediate family has show that they deserve nor desire her position..... Though, logically speaking, she would probably, actually, choose Raheem to be Everette IV. He now cares for her and has always shown an arguable dedication to the institution.

#funkyllama ask #canonically speaking; eloise is a matilda of tuscany girlie and not jarl haesteinn #I'm personally a werner von hapsburg girlie- urraca of zamora too! play tall not stronk !!!

Gifset suggestion: parallels between Queen Urraca I of Leon & Castile and her aunt and namesake, Urraca, Lady of Zamora. XOXO

Hmm. I don't think there are that many parallels between the two Urracas (apart from the name), but I could try something.

#the truth is that Urraca of Zamora reminds me more of Joanna of Austria (sister of Philip II) than of Urraca I #ask #anonymous

Got CK3 for Christmas and tried out the custom ruler designer for the first time. This is the character I made for a future playthrough (my first and current playthrough is as Urraca of Zamora) as a Duchess of Aquitaine. I'm pretty happy with how she turned out.

I present to you shocking news... Alfonso's sister, steward and lover, Infanta Urraca Fernandez of Castille (and the Countess of Zamora) was murdered by Count Rodrigu Diegez of Asturias de Oviedo, Alfonso's Marshal, Vassal and Knight. The reasons why he committed the murder remain unknown.

Meanwhile, Alfonso inherited the Chalice of Dona Urraca, gold and a small religious carving from Infanta Urraca which helped make her passing slightly tolerable.

Alfonso successfully imprisoned Count Rodrigu in his own home for the murder.

Our brother and house head, King Garcia became rivals with Count Rodrigu and started a house feud between House Jimena and House Oviedo because of the murder.

Alfonso promptly appoint a new steward (Count Munio with 24 stewardship skill) and a new marshal in El Cid with 27 in Marshal skill.

Alfonso became rivals with Rodrigu after stripping him of the county of Asturias de Oviedo. And with that, his former Marshal is no longer anyone of importance.

ORDOÑO III

King of León

(born c. 926 - died 956)

pictured above is an imagined portrait of the King of León, by Isidoro Lozano from 1852

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

SERIES - Descendants of the Kings of Asturias: Ordoño was a great-grandson of Alfonsu III, King of Asturias from 866. Some sources consider that his grandfather Ordoñu II, King of León was also King of Asturias from 914, although ruling from León.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

ORDOÑO was born around 926, somewhere at the Kingdom of León. He was the second son of Infante Ramiro of León and his first wife Adosinda Gutiérrez. As at the time of his birth his father may have already been the ruler of the County of Portugal he could have been born there.

He was a member of the Ordóñez Dynasty branch of the ASTUR-LEONESE DYNASTY and was named ORDOÑO RAMÍREZ, meaning Ordõno son of Ramiro.

In the 930s a lot happened in his life. By 930 his father probably reputiaded his mother. While in 931 his father succeeded as Ramiro II, King of León and he became an INFANTE OF LEÓN. And around 932-34 his father remarried to Urraka Santxitz of Pamplona.

Around 944 he marrried URRACA, of Castilian nobility. She was a niece of his stepmother as one of the daughters of Fernán González, Count of Castile and Antsa Santxitz of Pamplona. They possibly had one son.

Very little is known about his life before his father's death in 951, when he succeeded as ORDOÑO III, KING OF LEÓN because his older brother was already dead.

Though his succession was challenged by his younger half-brother Infante Sancho with the support of the Count of Castile and the Kingdom of Pamplona.

So some sources believe that because his father-in-law the Count of Castile supported his half-brother's claim over his own he reputiaded his wife around 952-53.

As it is believed that his only son was born during the period in which he was separated from Urraca, some sources believe that the mother of this child could have been an unrecorded second wife or a mistress.

Trying to work out a plausible maternal ancestry for his son, some sources believe that the mother of this child could have been a certain ELVIRA, one of the daughters of Pelayo González, Count of Deza and Hermesinda Guterrez.

But as these speculations clash out with his recorded wife having been mentioned again in charters from June 954, it is believed that he probably reconciled to Urraca before that.

Hence there are no consensus over who was the real mother of his only child or if he was legitimate or illegitimate.

It is believed that he could have probably reconciled with his wife do to the Count of Castile having changed sides and having began to support his claim over the throne.

At the beginning of his reign he also had to endure internal rebellions and Muslim attacks, but succeeded in signing a truce with the Muslims from the Caliphate of Córdoba.

Also during his reign the Kingdom of León continued to have problems with the growing power independence of the County of Castile and he ended up briefly making piece with his father-in-law.

The King of León died in Zamora, in 956, probably already in his thirties.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

After he died his half-brother could finally become King Sancho I, as the uncontested Monarch of León, probably because his only son was still a child.

However, around 958 his half-brother was deposed and King Ordoño III's widow was married by her father to the new King Ordoño IV (a cousin of King Ordoño III). Not long after, she would also end up becoming a Queen Consort of Pamplona through her third marriage to King Antso II.

By 985 his only son could finally inherit the Kingdom as Bermudo II, King of León. And it is through his son that all subsequent Monarchs of León and Spain are his descendants, and also all Monarchs of Castile since 1065.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

Check my posts about ORDOÑO III's family, his Royal House and his connections to the Kings of Asturias!

ORDOÑO III had one child... either legitimate or illegitimate

With his wife URRACA, an unrecorded second wife or a mistress...

Bermudo II, King of León - husband first (possibly) of Velasquita and second of Elvira of Castile.

He was born a member of the Ordóñez Dynasty branch line of the Astur-Leonese Dynasty.

In a span of four generations, ORDOÑO III was related to the Kings of Asturias through his father…

His father was Ramiro II, King of León.

His grandfather was Ordoñu II, King of León - possibly the King of Asturias between 914-24.

His great-grandfather was Alfonsu III, King of Asturias - the King of Asturias between 866-910.

Castilla León- España.

Torre de Doña Urraca en la localidad de Covarrubias junto al río Arlanza. En el Camino de la Lana y el Camino del Cid. [Covarrubias. Castilla y León. España. © Javier Prieto Gallego]

Vieja (esta última sin las actuales Cantabria y La Rioja). Se constituyó como preautonomía en 197814 y adquirió su estatus de comunidad autónoma en 1983, conformando finalmente un territorio situado en la parte norte de la Meseta Central de la península ibérica, que se corresponde mayoritariamente con la parte española de la cuenca hidrográfica del Duero.

Está compuesta por :nueve provincias: Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid y Zamora. Es la mayor comunidad autónoma de España en extensión y una de las regiones administrativas más extensas de Europa, con una superficie de 94 226 km², la sexta más poblada a nivel nacional, con 2 383 139 habitantes en 2021.

Now that I can play with mods and get achievements, I’m having fun planning my games more.

Here is King Garcia, grandson of El Cid Campeador who got me the Legacy of the Campeadores achievement by ruling over Valiencia (along with Castille Leon and Galicia he got from his other grandfather Sancho II of Castille), and his second daugher Blanca, who will eventually rule over Valencia independently.

I am so so glad they both got the Cid eyebrows

Step by step method:

1) play as Urraca of Zamora 2) immediately put a stop to your liaison with Alfonso because wtf 3) suck up to Sancho and propose to marry his best friend El Cid 4) live your merry tall life while your brothers are fighting each other 5) start conquering the land needed for Valencia 6) miscarry first child because you’re cursed (optional step) 7) have daughter, she’s somehow quick out of nowhere #blessed 8) Sancho, having steamrolled your other brothers, gives a county to his only son, a toddler. 9) nephew is defeated by vassal and wanders to Scotland of all places 10) Urraca dies burned alive of new harm mechanic #cursed 11) daughter Cristina left to fend for herself fights corrupt regents until she’s 20, El Cid busy being a count for his bestie #nepotism 12) check on Sancho’s son and heir, he’s in Sardinia for tourism (??) 13) marry the cousins while he doesn’t realize he will be king 14) miscarry first pregnancy to uphold the cursed legacy 15) somehow have twin boys who are both quick #doubleblessed 16) husband soon to be king is now a leper (optional step) 17) finish conquering de jure land for Kingdom of Valencia 18) have another miscarriage because Cristina is still being intimate with her leper husband 19) king Sancho and daddy El Cid die at almost the same time #bromance 20) husbando, now king, gives counties to the twins, still children 21) twins somehow grow up without hurdles, first born decides to marry an ugly spindly woman 22) first grandbaby is inbred, spindly wife not a Jimenez, confusion 23) kill spindly wife and baby out of spite (very wrong step) 24) leper husband dies of leprosy, twins inherit separate kingdoms. they are best friends so you don’t have to worry about infighting 25) Cristina also a leper now, wow very surprising 26) first twin marries another even uglier homely woman, you’re tired 27) kill her whilst regretting your first daughter-in-law 28) first twin dies of heart attack, maybe due to stress of dead wives 29) remaining twin who inherited everything, also marries a spindly woman as an homage to his brother. you give up 30) Cristina dies of leprosy, son finally creates Kingdom of Valencia

Spindly wife (the other one) gave Garcia 4 daughters and only one is quick but none are spindly so, you know, I count my blessings.
