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

• 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.

ALFONSU III

King of Asturias

THE GREAT

(born c. 848/49 - died 910)

pictured above is an imagined portrait of the King of Asturias, by Eduardo Cano de la Peña from 1852

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

SERIES - Descendants of the Kings of Asturias: Alfonsu was King of Asturias from 866.

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

ALFONSU was born around 848-49, on an unknown location at the Kingdom of Asturias.

His parents were Infante Ordoñu of Asturias and his wife Nuña, and he was a member of a branch line of the ASTUR-LEONESE DYNASTY. His name was ALFONSU ORDÓÑEZ, meaning Alfonsu son of Ordoñu.

By 850 his grandfather Ramiru I, King of Asturias died and his father immediatly succeeded as King Ordoñu I. And probably on his father's accession he became an INFANTE OF ASTURIAS.

When his father died in 866 he succeded as ALFONSU III, KING OF ASTURIAS, but a certain Count Froila from Galicia tried to usurp his throne. He then fled to Álava and was only able to regain control over Asturias a few months later, after Count Froila was killed.

However unlike King Nepocianu, the other defeated usurper of the Asturian throne, Count Froila is not considered to have been King of Asturias.

He married a certain Ximena around 860-70, so it is not known if he was already King or not at the time of his wedding. They probably had eight children (check the list below), at least five sons and three daughters.

As some sources believe that his wife was a Navarrese Royal, one of the daughters of Gartzia I Enekoitz, King of Pamplona and his first wife Urraka, the marriage could have been arranged as an alliance between Asturias and the newly established Kingdom of Pamplona.

Early in his reign he conquered Oporto (currently in Portugal) and for two decades he fought the Emirate of Córdoba, over old and new Asturian terriories, until they finally made peace around 884.

In the early 900s his internal problems began as his family started to rebel. Some sources believe that in 909 his eldest son Infante García tried to took the power with the support of his mother and brothers around 909 but was defeated and imprisoned.

However theses sources also believe that his family forced him to abdicate in 910, before his death, and the Kingdom of Asturias was divided between his eldest sons. After which the capital of the Kingdom was changed from Oviedo to the city of León.

The King of Asturias died sometime in 910, in Zamora, when he was returning from a battle, probably against his sons. He was probably already in his sixties.

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

Though, sources diverge on when his sons took the power and divided the Kingdom. Some believe he was forced to abdicate before his death and others believe that his sons only inherited the Kingdom after his death.

Each of his three eldest sons received:

Infante García - received León, Álava and Castille and became known as King of León;

Infante Ordoñu - received Galicia and became known as King of Galicia;

Infante Fruela - received the remainder of Asturias, around Oviedo, and became known as King of Asturias.

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

Check my posts on ALFONSU III's family, his Royal House and his Kingdom!

ALFONSU III and his wife XIMENA may have had eight children...

García I, King of León - husband of Muniadona;

Ordoñu II, King of León - husband first (possibly) of an unknown woman, second of Elvira Méndez, third of Aragonta González and fourth of Antsa Santxitz of Pamplona;

Fruela II, King of Asturias - husband first to Nunilo Jimena and (possibly) second of an unknown Muslim woman;

Infante Ramiro of Asturias - possible husband of Urraca;

Infante Gonzalo of Asturias - probably unmarried;

possibly Sancha Alfónsez - nothing is known about her;

possibly an unnamed daughter - nothing is known about her; and

possibly another unnamed daughter - nothing is known about her.

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

And was the King of Asturias between 866-900.

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.

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.
