After three years of war against Urraca and other rival claimants to the throne of León, Count Henry himself died in 1112, leaving his widow Theresa to govern Portugal north of the Mondego during the minority of her infant son Afonso: south of the Mondego the Moors were still supreme.

In 1165 he married Urraca, daughter of Afonso of Portugal.

The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso I almost immediately sparked rebellions in Galicia and scheming by her illegitimate half-sister Theresa and brother-in-law Henry, the Countess and Count of Portugal.

* Infanta Urraca ( 1151 – 1188 ), married to King Ferdinand II of León.

* 1126 – Following the death of his mother Urraca, Alfonso VII is proclaimed king of Castile and León.

* March 8 – Queen Urraca of Castile ( b. 1082 )

Contemporaries of Melisende who did rule, however, included Urraca of Castile ( 1080 – 1129 ), Empress Matilda ( 1102 – 1169 ), and Eleanor of Aquitaine ( 1122 – 1204 ).

By an Asturian noblewoman named Guntroda Pérez, he had an illegitimate daughter, Urraca ( 1132 – 1164 ), who married García Ramírez of Navarre, the mother retiring to a convent in 1133.

Later in his reign, he formed a liaison with Urraca Fernández, widow of count Rodrigo Martínez and daughter of Fernando Garcés de Hita, an apparent grandson of García Sánchez III of Navarre, having a daughter Stephanie the Unfortunate ( 1148 – 1180 ), who was killed by her jealous husband, Fernán Ruiz de Castro.

According to author Bernard F. Reilly, the measure of success for Urraca ’ s rule was her ability to restore and protect the integrity of her inheritance – that is, the kingdom of her father – and transmit that inheritance in full to her own heir.

Policies and events pursued by Alfonso VI – namely legitimizing her brother and thereby providing an opportunity for her illegitimate half-sister to claim a portion of the patrimony, as well as the forced marriage with Alfonso I of Aragon – contributed in large part to the challenges Urraca faced upon her succession.

From a Galician perspective the Historia recounts the reigns of the contemporary sovereigns of Castile: Alfonso VI ( until 1109 ), Urraca ( 1109 – 1126 ) and Alfonso VII ( from 1126 ).

A passionate fighting-man ( he fought twenty-nine battles against Christian or Moor ), he was married ( when well over 30 years and a habitual bachelor ) in 1109 to the ambitious Queen Urraca of León, widow of Raymond of Burgundy, a passionate woman unsuited for a subordinate role.

In 1185 Ferdinand married for the third time to Urraca López de Haro ( daughter of Lope Díaz, lord of Biscay, Nájera and Haro ), who was his mistress since 1180.

Alfonso's children by Aldonza Martínez de Silva ( daughter of Martin Gomez de Silva & Urraca Rodriguez ), later married to Diego Froilaz, Count of Cifuentes:
