Es también conocido como Santo Rey Don Fernando, que fue canonizado por la Iglesia Católica en 1671, siendo Papa Clemente X. Asimismo fue el fundador de la villa de La Rinconada. Hijo del rey Alfonso IX de León y de Berenguela de Castilla, el Papa Inocencio IIIdeclaró nulo en 1204 el matrimonio alegando el parentesco de los cónyuges, tras lo cual Berenguela volvió a la corte de su padre (el rey de Castilla) con todos sus hijos. En 1219casó con Elisabeth Hohenstaufen (Beatriz de Suabia) con la que tuvo diez hijos: 1) Alfonso, su sucesor 2) Fadrique 3) Fernando (1225–1243/1248) 4) Leonor (nacida 1227), muerta joven 5) Berenguela (1228–1288/89) 6) Enrique 7) Felipe (1231–1274) 8) Sancho, Arzobispo de Toledo y Sevilla (1233–1261) 9) Manuel, Señor de Villena 10) María, muerta en la infancia Tras quedar viudo, casa en 1237 con Juana de Danmartín y tienen cinco hijos: 1) Fernando (1239–1269), conde de Aumale 2) Leonor, casada con Eduardo I de Inglaterra 3) Luis (1243–1269), casado con Juana Gómez de Manzanedo 4) Jimeno (1244), muerto joven y enterrado en un monasterio de Toledo 5) Juan (1245), muerto joven y enterrado en la catedral de Córdoba Tras la temprana muerte del rey de Castilla Enrique I, hermano menor de su madre y la abdicación de ésta, obtiene en 1217 el reino de Castilla, enun acto realizado en la Plaza Mayor de Valladolid. Una vez nombrado rey, tuvo que enfrentarse a la casa de los Lara por una revuelta nobiliaria, fomentada por el vecino Reino de León. Contrae matrimonio con Beatriz de Suabia (1219). A partir de 1224, aprovechando las discordias surgidas entre los almohades a la muerte de Abu Yacub Yusuf, dedicó su esfuerzo a dirigir las campañas de conquista de los territorios dominados por los musulmanes, combinando hábilmente las acciones diplomáticas con beneficiosas intervenciones bélicas que se valían de las discordias existentes en los distintos reinos musulmanes. Así, entre 1225 y 1227 las tropas castellanas se hacen con Andújar, Martos y Baeza, lugares clave para la conquista de Andalucía. A la muerte de su padre Alfonso IX en 1230, rey de León, los partidarios de Fernando no respetaron su testamento, reivindicando el trono de León, que el rey, su padre, había legado a Sancha y Dulce, hijas de su matrimonio con Teresa de Portugal. Tras una reunión entre las dos princesas, Teresa de Portugal y Berenguela de Castilla, se firma el Tratado de Valencia de Don Juan, en el que se declara la inviabilidad del testamento de Alfonso IX y el traspaso de la corona de León a Fernando a cambio de una compensación económica a Dulce y Sancha, que incluía la cesión de tierras que se reincorporarían a Castilla cuandoéstas murieran. De ese modo se unieron dinásticamente -siguieron conservando Cortes, leyes e instituciones diferentes- León y Castilla en la persona de Fernando. Tras lograr la unión de sus reinos, se dedica de manera sistemática a la conquista del valle del Guadalquivir. En 1231 tomó el pueblo de Cazorla en Jaén, junto al arzobispo de Toledo, Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada. Las fuerzas reales se adueñan posteriormente de la campiña cordobesa y de forma inesperada se apoderan de la capital cordobesa en 1236. En 1243, el rey del taifa de Murcia se sometió a vasallaje y poco después su hijo, el Infante Alfonso, ocupó el reino murciano de forma pacífica. En 1244, se establecen las fronteras con el Reino de Aragón en el Tratado de Almizra, asignando al reino de Castilla las plazas de Orihuela, Elche y Alicante. Desde entonces fue avanzando por el Guadalquivir. Jaén es conquistada tras años de ataques en 1246, y en noviembre del año 1248 se apodera de Sevilla, tras quince meses de asedio y con el auxilio del marino Ramón de Bonifaz, a quien el rey había encargado en 1247 la formación de una flota con naves procedentes del Cantábrico y con la que habría de remontar el río Guadalquivir y completar el cerco sobre la ciudad. A la toma de Sevilla siguió la de Medina Sidonia y Arcos de la Frontera, entre otras. Cuando falleció en 1252, preparaba una expedición contra el norte de África, tratando de evitar las posibles amenazas que pudieran proceder de esa zona. -------------------- Ferdinand III King of Castille (M) b. circa 1200, d. 30 May 1252, #474 Ferdinand III King of Castille married Joan (?), daughter of Simon Dammartin Count of Aumale & Ponthieu and Mary (?).

Through his second marriage he was also Count of Aumale. He finished the work done by his maternal grandfather Alfonso VIII and consolidated the Reconquista. In 1231, he permanently united Castile and León. He was canonized in 1671 and, in Spanish, he is Fernando el Santo or San Fernando. St Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of León and Berenguela of Castile. He was born at the monastery of Valparaíso (Peleas de Arriba, Zamora) in 1198 or 1199. His parents were divorced by order of Pope Innocent III in 1204. Berenguela tooktheir children, including Ferdinand, to the court of her father. In 1217, her younger brother Henry I died and she succeeded him to the Castilian throne, but she immediately surrendered it to her sonFerdinand, for whom she initially acted as regent. When Alfonso died in 1230, Ferdinand also inherited León, though he had to fight for it with Alfonso's designated heirs, Sancha and Dulce, the daughters of his first wife. He thus became the first sovereign of both kingdoms since the death of Alfonso VII in 1157. Early in his reign, Ferdinand had to deal with a rebellion of theHouse of Lara. He also established a permanent border with the Kingdom of Aragon by the Treaty of Almizra (1244). St Ferdinand spent much of his reign fighting the Moors. Through diplomacy and war, exploiting the internal dissensions in the Moorish kingdoms, he triumphed in expanding Castilian power over southern Iberian Peninsula. He captured the towns of Úbeda in 1233, Córdoba in 1236, Jaén in 1246, and Seville in 1248, and occupied Murcia in 1243, thereby reconquering all Andalusia save Granada, whose king nevertheless did homage to Ferdinand. Ferdinand divided the conquered territories between the Knights, the Church, and the nobility, whom he endowed with great latifundias. When he took Córdoba, he ordered the Liber Iudiciorum to be adopted and observed by its citizens, and caused it to be rendered, albeit inaccurately, into Castilian. United arms of Castile and León which Ferdinand first used.The capture of Córdoba was the result of an uneven and uncoordinated process whereby parts (the Ajarquía) of the city first fell to the independent almogavars of the Sierra Morena to the north, which Ferdinand had not atthe time subjugated.[1] Only in 1236 did Ferdinand arrive with a royal army to take Medina, the religious and administrative centre of the city.[1] Ferdinand set up a council of partidores to divide the conquests and between 1237 and 1244 a great deal of land was parcelled out to private individuals and members of the royal family as well as the Church. On 10 March 1241, Ferdinand established seven outposts to define the boundary of the province of Córdoba. On the domestic front, he strengthened the University of Salamanca and founded the current Cathedral of Burgos. He wasa patron of the newest movement in the Church: that of the friars. Whereas the Benedictines and then the Cistercians and Cluniacs had taken a major part in the Reconquista up til then, Ferdinand founded Dominican, Franciscan, Trinitarian, and Mercedarian houses in Andalusia, thus determining the religious future of that region. Ferdinand has also been credited with sustaining the convivencia in Andalusia. The Primera Crónica General de España asserts that, on his death bed, Ferdinand commended his son "you are rich in lands and in many good vassals — more so than any other king in Christendom," probably in recognition of his expansive conquests.[4] He was buried within the Cathedral of Seville by his son Alfonso X. His tomb is inscribed with four languages: Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, and an early incarnation of Castilian.[5] St Ferdinand was canonized by Pope Clement X in 1671.

He took as his counsellors the wisest men in the State, saw to the strict administration of justice, and took the greatest care not to overburden his subjects with taxation, fearing, as he said, the curse of one poor woman more than a whole army of Saracens. The greatest joys of his life were the conquests of Cordova (1236) and Seville (1248). He turned the great mosques of these places into cathedrals, dedicating them to the Blessed Virgin. He watched over the conduct of his soldiers, confiding more in their virtue than in their valour, fasted strictly himself, wore a rough hairshirt, and often spent his nights in prayer, especially before battles. -------------------- See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_III_of_Castile -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_III_of_Castile -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_III_of_Castile -------------------- Fernando "the Saint" was crowned King of Castile in 1217 and King of Leon in 1230. -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Ferdinand -------------------- King of Castile -------------------- Saint Ferdinand III (5 August 1199 – 30 May 1252), was theKing of Castile from 1217 and King of Galicia and Leon from 1230.

He was declared king of Castile at age eighteen. Ferdinand was born near Salamanca; proclaimed king of Palencia, Valladolid, and Burgos; his mother advised and assisted him during his young reign. He married Princess Beatrice, daughter of Philip of Suabia, King of Germany and they had seven sons and three daughters. His father (the king of Leon) turned againsthim and tried to take over his rule. The two reconciled later, and fought successfully against the Moors. In 1225, he held back Islamic invaders; prayed and fasted to prepare for the war; extremely devoted to the Blessed Virgin. Between 1234-36, Ferdinand conquered the city of Cordoba from the Moors. Queen Beatrice died in 1236, and he overtook Seville shortly thereafter. He founded the Cathedralof Burgos and the University of Salamanca; married Joan of Ponthieu after the death of Beatrice.

Through his second marriage he was also Count of Aumale. He finished the work done by his maternal grandfather Alfonso VIII and consolidated the Reconquista. In 1231, he permanently united Castile and León. He was canonised in 1671 and, in Spanish, he is Fernando el Santo or San Fernando. Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of León and Berenguela of Castile. He was born at the monastery of Valparaíso (Peleas de Arriba, Zamora) in 1198 or 1199. His parents were divorced by order of Pope Innocent III in 1204. Berenguela took their children, including Ferdinand, to the court of her father. In 1217, her younger brother Henry I died and she succeeded him to the Castilian throne, but she immediately surrendered it to her son Ferdinand, for whom she initially acted as regent. When Alfonso died in 1230, Ferdinand also inherited León, though he had to fight for it with Alfonso's designated heirs, Sancha and Dulce, the daughters of his first wife. He thus became the first sovereign of both kingdoms since the death of Alfonso VII in 1157. Early in his reign, Ferdinand had to deal with a rebellion of the House of Lara. He also established a permanent border with the Kingdom of Aragon by the Treaty of Almizra (1244). Ferdinand spent much of his reign fighting the Moors. Through diplomacy and war, exploiting the internal dissensions in the Moorish kingdoms, he triumphed in expanding Castilian power over southern Spain. He captured the towns of Úbeda in 1233, Córdoba in 1236, Jaén in 1246, and Seville in 1248, and occupied Murcia in 1243, thereby reconquering all Andalusia save Granada, whose king nevertheless did homage to Ferdinand. Ferdinand divided the conquered territories between the military orders, the Church, and the nobility, whom he enfeoffed with great latifundias. When he took Córdoba, he ordered the Liber Iudiciorum to be adopted and observed by its citizens, and caused it to be rendered, albeit inaccurately, into Castilian. The capture of Córdoba was the result of an uneven and uncoordinated process whereby parts (the Ajarquía) of the city first fell to the independent almogavars of the Sierra Madre to the north, which Ferdinand had not at the time subjugated.[1] Only in 1236 did Ferdinand arrive with a royal army to take Medina, the religious and administrative centre of the city.[2] Ferdinand set up a council of partidores to divide the conquests and between 1237 and 1244 a great deal of land was parcelled out to private individuals and members of the royal family as well as the Church.[3] On 10 March 1241, Ferdinand established seven outposts to define the boundary of the province of Córdoba. On the domestic front, he strengthened the University of Salamanca and founded the current Cathedral of Burgos. He was a patronof the newest movement in the church: that of friars. Whereas the Benedictines and then the Cistercians and Cluniacs had taken a major part in the Reconquista up til then, Ferdinand founded Dominican, Franciscan, Trinitarian, and Mercedarian houses in Andalusia, thus determining the religious future of that region. Ferdinand has also been credited with sustaining the convivencia in Andalusia.[4] The Primera Crónica General de España asserts that, on his death bed, Ferdinand commended his son "you are rich in lands and in many good vassals — more so than any other king inChristendom," probably in recognition of his expansive conquests.[5] He was buried within the Great Mosque of Seville by his son Alfonso X.

Tras casarse con Beatriz de Suabia (1219), se dedicó preferentemente a dirigir las campañas conquistadoras, combinando hábilmente las acciones diplomáticas con beneficiosas intervenciones bélicas que se valían de las discordias existentes en los distintos reinos musulmanes. A la muerte de su padre Alfonso IX en 1230, tuvo que luchar por el trono de León, ya que éste legó su reino a Sancha y Dulce, hijas de su primer matrimonio con Teresa de Portugal. Gracias a la persuasión y algún pago heredó el reino de León, pasando a ser Rey de Castilla y León, y anexionándose el reino taifa de Murcia (1243). Por otra parte,estableció las fronteras con Aragón en el Tratado de Almizra (1244) y repartió las nuevas tierras conquistadas entre las órdenes militares, la Iglesia y los nobles, lo que dio lugar a la formación de grandes latifundios. Fundó las catedrales góticas de Burgos y León.

In 1242 Ferdinand reestablished at Salamanca the university originally founded by his grandfather.

Canonized in 1671.Fought the Moors consolidated the Reconquista. King of Castile.

Saint Ferdinand III (July 30 or August 5, 1199 - May 30, 1252), was the King of Castile from 1217 and King of LeoÌn from 1230. Through his second marriage he was also Count of Aumale. He finishedthe work done by his maternal grandfather Alfonso VIII and consolidated the Reconquista. In 1231, he permanently united Castile and LeoÌn. He was canonized in 1671 and, in Spanish, he is Fernando elSanto or San Fernando. St Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of LeoÌn and Berenguela of Castile. He was born at the monastery of ValparaiÌso (Peleas de Arriba, Zamora) in 1198 or1199. His parents' marriage was annulled by order of Pope Innocent III in 1204, due to consanguinity. Berenguela took their children, including Ferdinand, to the court of her father. In 1217, her younger brother Henry I died and she succeeded him to the Castilian throne, but she immediately surrendered it to her son Ferdinand, for whom she initially acted as regent. When Alfonso died in 1230, Ferdinand also inherited LeoÌn, though he had to fight for it with Alfonso's designated heirs, Sancha and Dulce, the daughters of his first wife. He thus became the first sovereign of both kingdoms since the death of Alfonso VII in 1157. Early in his reign, Ferdinand had to deal with a rebellion of the House of Lara. He also established a permanent border with the Kingdom of Aragonby the Treaty of Almizra (1244). St Ferdinand spent much of his reign fighting the Moors. Through diplomacy and war, exploiting the internal dissensions in the Moorish kingdoms, he triumphed in expanding Castilian power over southern Iberian Peninsula. He captured the towns of UÌbeda in 1233, CoÌrdoba in 1236, JaeÌn in 1246, and Seville in 1248, and occupied Murcia in 1243, thereby reconquering all Andalusia save Granada, whose king nevertheless did homage to Ferdinand. Ferdinand divided the conquered territories between the Knights, the Church, and the nobility, whom he endowed with great latifundias. When he took CoÌrdoba, he ordered the Liber Iudiciorum to be adopted and observed by its citizens, and caused it to be rendered, albeit inaccurately, into Castilian. United arms of Castile and LeoÌn which Ferdinand first used.The capture of CoÌrdoba was the result of an uneven and uncoordinated process whereby parts (the AjarquiÌa) of the city first fell to the independent almogavars of the Sierra Morena to the north, which Ferdinand had not at the time subjugated.[1] Only in 1236 did Ferdinand arrive with a royal army to take Medina, the religious and administrative centre of the city.[1] Ferdinand set up a council of partidores to divide the conquests and between 1237 and 1244 a great deal of land was parcelled out to private individuals and members of the royal family as well as the Church.[2] On 10 March 1241, Ferdinand established seven outposts to define the boundary of the province of CoÌrdoba. On the domestic front, he strengthened the University of Salamanca and founded the current Cathedral of Burgos. He was a patron of the newest movement in the Church: that of the friars. Whereas the Benedictines and then the Cistercians and Cluniacs had taken a major part in the Reconquista up til then, Ferdinand founded Dominican, Franciscan, Trinitarian, and Mercedarian houses in Andalusia, thus determining the religious future of that region. Ferdinand has also been credited with sustaining the convivencia in Andalusia.[3] The Primera CroÌnica General de EspanÌƒa asserts that, on his death bed, Ferdinand commended his son "you are rich in lands and in many good vassals - more so than any other king in Christendom," probably in recognition of his expansive conquests.[4]He was buried within the Cathedral of Seville by his son Alfonso X. His tomb is inscribed with four languages: Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, and an early incarnation of Castilian.[5] St Ferdinand was canonized by Pope Clement X in 1671. Several places named San Fernando were founded across the Spanish Empire. The symbol of his power as a king was his sword Lobera. Marriages and family In 1219, Ferdinand married Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen (1203-1235), daughter of the German king Philip of Swabia and Irene Angelina. Elisabeth was called Beatriz in Spain. Their children were: Alfonso X, his successor Fadrique Ferdinand (1225-1243/1248) Eleanor (born 1227), died young Berenguela (1228-1288/89), a nun at Las Huelgas Henry Philip (1231-1274).

Ferdinand III, Saint Ferdinand of Castile and Léon (1200-52), son of Alfonso IX of Léon, by Berenguela (Berengaria), afterward proclaimed queen of Castile (1217). He became king of Castile and Léon, and these crowns were never afterward seperated (1230). One of the greatest of Spanish kings, he initiated the famous codification of the Latin and Gothic laws known as the Fuero Juzgo, completed by his son, Alfonso X, the Learned. [World Wide Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1935]

He ruled Castile from 1219 to 1252. He ruled Leon from 1220 to 1252.

Más que por la fuerza de las armas, la concordia pudo restablecerse gracias a la mediación del papa Honorio III. A la muerte de Alfonso IX reunió Fernando de nuevo las coronas de León y de Castilla, esta vez de forma definitiva.En 1219 colocó la primera piedra de la catedral de Burgos. Marchó a combatir a los moros, a quienes quitó varias plazas importantes en la provincia de Jaén en 1226, año en que inició la construcción de la catedral de Toledo. Como resultado de una nueva campaña reconquistó, en 1234, a Úbeda, y dos años después tuvo lugar la reconquista de Córdoba. Fernando III colocó la cruz en lo alto de la mezquita, que fue desde entonces iglesia cristiana y, con los años, catedral de la diócesis cordobesa. Prosiguió su guerra contra los musulmanes, asegurando el dominio de todo el reino de Córdoba, Extremadura y la región de Jaén, cuya capital se rindió en 1246 después de un año de asedio. Su dueño, Mohamed I, que era también señor de Granada, le rindió vasallaje y, alentado con estos triunfos, emprendió la más memorable de sus campañas destinada a liberar a Sevilla del poder musulmán.Después de tomar Carmona y Alcalá de Guadaira, donde estableció su plaza de armas y cuartel general, inció en 1247 el sitio de la ciudad del Betis (Guadalquivir), en el que cooperó una flota al mando del almirante Bonifaz. Los sitiados recibían víveres de Niebla y del Algarve, pero el almirante les cortó este último recurso. Acosados por el habmre, los musulmanes capitularon (1248). Salieron de la ciudad 300.000 mahometanos. Sevilla venera a Fernando III como su libertador.

Uniu definitivamente os reinos de Leão e Castela e consolidou a Reconquista, deixando por conquistar apenas o reino tributário de Granada. Foi canonizado em 1671, sendo conhecido também como São Fernando. Índice esconder1 Subida ao trono de Castela2 União pessoal de Leão e Castela3 Reconquista e santidade4 Descendência5 Bibliografia6 Ver também editar Subida ao trono de CastelaFernando era filho de Afonso IX de Leão e de Berengária, infanta e rainha de Castela. Nasceu no Mosteiro de Valparaíso em Peleas de Arriba (Zamora) em Agosto de 1201. Em 1204, o casamento dos seus pais foi anulado pelo papa Inocêncio III por motivos de consanguinidade, e Berengária levou os filhos para a corte de Castela. Estátua da rainha-mãe Berengária de Leão e CastelaApós a morte do seu tio Henrique I de Castela (1204-1217), com apenas 13 anos de idade, só tinham sobrevivido algumas irmãs deHenrique. Berengária, que tinha sido regente do irmão de 1214 a 1217, foi aclamada rainha de Castela somente um mês após a morte deste. Mas logo após ser coroada abdicou em favor do seu filho varão mais velho, Fernando, então apenas com 16 anos. O pai de Fernando, o rei Afonso IX de Leão, que outrora fôra casado com Berengária de Castela e tivera o matrimónio anulado em 1204 devido à relação de parentesco, ambicionava ser rei de Castela por ser neto de Afonso VII de Leão e Castela. Apoiado pela poderosa família Lara e outros nobres descontentes,proclamou guerra aberta a Castela. Berengária passou então a conselheira do rei. Ajudou a subjugar os nobres rebeldes e depois combinou o casamento (celebrado no final de Novembrode 1219 ou 1220 no Real Mosteiro de San Zoilo em Carrión de los Condes, Palência) de Fernando com uma esposa digna do jovem monarca, e de uma família politicamente útil. A escolhida foi Isabel de Hohenstaufen, conhecida em Castela como Beatriz da Suábia (1202-1235), filha de Irene Angelina de Constantinopla e de Filipe, duque da Suábia, rei da Germânia e rei dos Romanos, netado imperador germânico Frederico Barbaruiva. Depois de vencer os nobres rebeldes, o conflito com Leão acabou por ser resolvido com umas tréguas tratadas pelo rei Afonso IX e a sua antiga esposa. editar União pessoal de Leão e Castela Armas unidas de Castela e Leão, usadas pela primeira vez por Fernando IIIEm 1230, o monarca de Leão faleceu. Tinha deserdado Fernando e, no seu testamento, legado o reino às infantas Sancha e Dulce, filhas do seu primeiro casamento com a sua prima Teresa, infanta de Portugal. Fernando e a rainha-mãe ambicionavam obter a coroa de Leão e voltar unir os dois reinos, separados em 1157 com a morte de Afonso VII de Leão e Castela. Para tal, reuniram-se na cidade portuguesa de Valença as duas mulheres de Afonso IX de Leão, Teresa de Portugal e Berengária de Castela, com as infantas Sancha e Dulce, para selarem um acordo. Sancha e Dulce renunciaram à coroa de Leão, em troca de uma renda de 30 mil maravedis e outros privilégios. Pelo Tratado das Tercerias, a união pessoal das duas coroas foi restaurada definitivamente na pessoa do rei Fernando III, o Santo, e na dos seus sucessores, passando Castela a deter a hegemonia na Hispânia. Com a morte de Beatriz da Suábia em 1235, Fernando casou-se pela segunda vez em 1237 com Joana d'Aumale, condessa de Ponthieu (1210-1279), filha de Maria de Belleme, senhora de Ponthieu, e de Simão Dammartin, conde d'Aumale. editar Reconquista e santidadeFernando recuperou o esforço castelhano de reconquista. Tomou grande parte de Al-Andalus, o equivalente à moderna região autónoma da Andaluzia, excepto os reinos de Granada e Niebla. Desde 1219, combinava as acções diplomáticas com intervenções bélicas e aproveitava as discódias existentes entre as taifas para submeter os pequenos reinos ao seu poder. As suas maiores conquistas terão sido Baeza (1227), Úbeda (1233), Córdova (1236), Múrcia (1241), Jaén (1246) e Sevilha (1248). Em 1244, pelo Tratado de Almizra, repartiu as novas terras conquistadas entre as ordens militares, o clero e a nobreza, o que deu lugar mais tarde à formação dos latifúndios da região. Depois da tomada de Córdova, o Santoordenou a adopção do Liber Iudiciorum (Direito Visigótico) pelos seus cidadãos, e mandou traduzi-lo, mesmo que com alguns erros, para castelhano, constituindo aquilo a que se viria designar de Fuero Juzgo. Também ajudou a desenvolver a Universidade de Salamanca e fundou a actual Catedral de Burgos. Mapa político da Península Ibérica em 1360. As fronteiras de Leão e Castela (a vermelho) e do reino mouro de Granada (a castanho) são basicamente as estabelecidas por Fernando III.Foi um patrono das novas ordens de frades, que diferiam dos monjes por terem um maior envolvimento com o mundo secular, em detrimento do isolamento dos últimos em mosteiros. Enquanto que os Beneditinos, Cistircences e Clunicenses já tinham participado activamenteda Reconquista cristã, Fernando III introduziu os Dominicanos, Franciscanos, Trinitarianos e Mercedários na Andaluzia. Apesar de ter determinado assim o futuro da religiãona região, que viria a perseguir o rito visigótico ou moçárabe e os não-cristãos, teria encorajado a convivência dos seus súbditos de diferentes fés, que teria a sua expressão máxima na capital cultural de Toledo. No entanto, importa contextualizar esta convivência no seu local e época. Não se tratava de um convívio intercultural à luz da moral dos dias dehoje. Havia discriminação racial e religiosa. Uma curiosa expressão da língua portuguesa nasceu durante este período: dar às de Vila Diogo, que significa fugir. A explicação desta expressão não é uma verdade histórica indiscutível, mas reflecte um pouco do pensamento e do preconceito anti-semita da época. A tradição conta que Fernando III concedeu o direito de os judeus de Villadiego não serem perseguidos. Havia, no entanto, uma contrapartida: tinham que usar calças (os cristãos usavam calções) para garantirem os seus privilégios. Os judeus de Burgos ou de Toledo não tinham tais privilégios e, logo que perseguidos, abandonavam tudo o que tinham e fugiam para Villadiego (por aportuguesamento Vila Diogo, daí a expressão línguística"dar às de Vila Diogo", que significa "fugir", ainda usada em Portugal). Nesta localidade, eram-lhes oferecidas calças para escaparem aos perseguidores, mas com um preço: eram forçados a pagar um tributo aos judeus locais. Fernando faleceu em Sevilha a 30 de Maio de 1252, com 51 anos. Estava na companhia dos seus filhos tidos com Beatriz (excepto Berengária e Sancho), dos três filhos do seu segundo casamento e ainda da sua segunda esposa, Joana d'Aumalle. O seu corpo foi sepultado na catedral da cidade (antiga Grande Mesquita), e o seu túmulo foi inscrito em quatro línguas diferentes: castelhano, latim, árabe e hebraico. O seu coração foi enterrado no Monte Calvário de Jerusalém, pela sua forte devoção a Cristo. São Fernando foi o primeiro rei espanhol a ser canonizado, em 1671 pelo papa Clemente X.

Ferdinand III of CastileFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Fernando III called El Santo (the Saint), (1198/1199 – May 30, 1252) was a king of Castile (1217 - 1252) and Leon (1230 - 1252). He was the son of Alfonso IX and Berenguela of Castile, daughter of Alfonso VIII. Because his parents were first cousins, their marriage was annulled, but Fernando remained legitimized and was able to succeed his father as king. In 1231 he united Castile and Leon permanently. Fernando spent much of his reign fighting the Moors. He capturedthe towns of Córdoba in 1236, Jaén in 1246, and Seville in 1248, and occupied Murcia in 1243, thereby completing the reconquest of Spain excepting Granada, whose king nevertheless did homage to Fernando. He founded the University of Salamanca and the Cathedral of Burgos. Fernando was canonized by Pope Clement X in 1671. Several places named San Fernando were founded across the Spanish Empire. [edit]Marriages and FamilyIn 1219, Ferdinand married the daughter of the German king Philip of Swabia, Elizabeth, called Beatriz in Spain. Their children were: King Alfonso X of Castile (November 23, 1221-1284) Infante Fadrique (September 1223-1277), secretly executed by his brother Alfonso.

He was promised to the Church, but was so taken with the beauty of Princess Christine of Norway (daughter of Haakon IV of Norway), who had been intended as a bride for one of his brothers, that he abandoned his holy vows and married her. She died in 1262, childless. Infante Sancho, Archbishop of Toledo and Seville (1233-1261) Infante Juan Manuel (1234-November 1283). Infanta Maria, died an infant in November 1235.

Ferdinand III, 1199?1252, Spanish king of Castile (1217?52) and León (1230?52), son of Alfonso IX of León and Berenguela of Castile. At the death (1217) of her brother, Henry I of Castile, Berenguela renounced her right of succession in Ferdinand's favor. Having inherited (1230) León from his father, Ferdinand permanently united the kingdoms of Castile and León. Ferdinand spent most of his reign crusading against the Moors. He took Córdoba (1236), Jaén (1246), and Seville (1248) and occupied Murcia (1243). He thus completed the reconquest of Spain, except for the kingdom of Granada, which became a vassal state. Ferdinand was planning an expedition to Morocco when he died and was succeeded by his son, Alfonso X. In 1671, Ferdinand was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. Feast: May 30.

During his campaigns, Murcia submitted to his son Alfonso (later Alfonso X), and the Muslim kingdom of Granada became his vassal. Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of Leon and Berenguela, daughter of Alfonso VIII ofCastile. At birth, he was the heir to Leon, but his uncle, Henry I of Castile, died young, and his mother inherited the crown of Castile, which she conferred on him. His father, like many Leonese, opposed the union, and Ferdinand found himself at war with him. By his will Alfonso IX tried to disinherit his son, but the will was set aside, and Castile and Leon were permanently united in 1230. Ferdinand married Beatrice of Swabia, daughter of the Holy Roman emperor, a title that Ferdinand's son Alfonso X was to claim. His conquest of Lower Andalusia was the resultof the disintegration of the Almohad state. The Castilians and other conquerors occupied the cities, driving out the Muslims and taking over vast estates. Ferdinand's second wife was Joan of Ponthieu, whom he married in 1237; their daughter Eleanor married the future Edward I of England in1254. Ferdinand settled in Sevilla, where he is buried.

Ferdinand III (of Castile and León), called The Saint (1199-1252), king of Castile (1217-52) and of León (1230-52); he was the son of King Alfonso IX of León and Castile. In 1217 Ferdinand's mother, Berengaria, renounced her title to the Castilian throne in favor of her son. Alfonso, who had himself expected to acquire Castile, was angered at his wife's action, and, aided by a group of Castilian nobles favorable to his claim, made war upon his newly crowned son. Ferdinand, however, with the wise counsel of his mother, proved more than a military match for Alfonso, who at length was forced to abandon his plan of conquering Castile. Through the good offices of Berengaria, Ferdinand was able to effect the peaceful union of León and Castile upon the death of his father in 1230. Ferdinand devoted his energies to prosecuting the war against the Moors, conquering Córdoba in 1236 and Seville in 1248. He was rigorous in his suppression of the heretical Albigenses, a fact largely responsible for his canonization more than two centuries later. In 1242 Ferdinand reestablished at Salamanca the university originally founded by his grandfather.Source: "Ferdinand III (of Castile and León)," Microsoft(R) Encarta(R) 98 Encyclopedia.
