Socarro, Alfonso X of Castile: A Study Imperialistic Frustration, Appendix V, explains that another daughter of Philip of Swabia, Elizabeth, was 'known in Spanish history as Beatrix,' and it was this Beatrix/Elizabeth who married Ferdinand III the Saint.

He was called The Saint. In 1217 Ferdinand's mother, Berengaria, renounced her title to the Castilian throne in favor of her son. Alfonso IX, 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 Leon and Castile upon the death of his father in 1230. Ferdinand devoted his energies to prosecuting the war against the Moors, conquering Cordoba 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.

also called SAINT FERDINAND, Spanish SAN FERNANDO, king of

conqueror of the Muslim cities of C
and Seville (1248). 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 of Castile. When born, 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 result of 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 in 1254. Ferdinand settled in Seville, where he is
buried.

Facts about this person:
Acceded 1217


Ferdinand III, King of Castile (RM) Born near Salamanca, Spain, c. 1199; died in Seville, Spain, on May 30,1252; canonized in 1671 at the request of Philip IV. Ferdinand was the son of Alphonso IX, king of Leughter of Alphonso III, king of Castile. His maternalgrandmother was the daughter of Henry II of England, and her sisterBlanche became the mother of Saint Louis of France <0825.htm>. The death of Berengaria's brother, Henry, left her heiress to the throneof Castile in 1217, but she ceded her rights to the 18-year- oldFerdinand. He was a stern, but forgiving, ruler who ignored personalslights, and an excellent administrator. The archbishop of Toledo,Rodrigo Ximenes, was chancellor of Castile and his principal adviser formany years. Ferdinand married Beatrice, daughter of King Philip of Swabiain 1219. Upon the death of his father in 1230, Ferdinand became king of Lesupporters of the claim ofhis two half sisters, but his union of the two kingdoms made a recoveryfrom the Moors possible. He campaigned against the Moors without respitefor 27 years, and his success won the great devotion of his people. Herecaptured the greater part of Andalusia, including Ubeda, Cordova(1236), Murcia, Jaen, Cadiz, and Seville (1249). It was in the battle of Xeres, when only 10 or 12 Spanish lives werelost, that Saint James (Santiago) was said to have been seen leading thehost on a white horse. Saint James's chronicle is a principal source forFerdinand's achievements. Ferdinand's military efforts were not so muchimperialistic in motivation as driven by a wish to save Christians fromthe dominance of infidels. Although he was a warrior, it was said of him that "he feared the curseof one old woman more than a whole army of Moors." In thanksgiving forhis victories, Ferdinand rebuilt the cathedral in Burgos and convertedthe great mosque of Seville into a church. He restored to the Cathedralof Santiago de Compostella the bells that had been removed by the Moors. Once the Moors and Jews submitted, he pursued a course of tolerance,while encouraging the friars to convert them. He was the founder of thefamed University of Salamanca in 1243. He married Joan of Ponthieu on thedeath of Beatrice. By his second wife he was the father of Eleanor, wifeof King Edward I of England. It is interesting to note that upon hisdeath he was buried in the habit of a Franciscan friar in the cathedralof Seville. At his death he was popularly acclaimed a saint but canonicalrecognition took another 400 years (Attwater, Benedictines, Delaney,White). King Saint Ferdinand is depicted in art as a crowned knight with agreyhound. He is dressed royal regalia, cross on his breast, and the dogat his feet (Roeder). He is the patron saint of persons in authority(rulers, governors, magistrates, etc.)--a result of his wiseappointments; the poor and prisoners (over whom such persons rule);engineers (a result of his technical military skills), and the Spanisharmy (White).
