Sancha Raimúndez of León (c. 1095/1102 – 28 February 1159) was a Leonese infanta, the daughter of Raymond of Burgundy and Queen Urraca of León and Castile and the older sister of Alfonso VII of León and Castile. Her body is claimed to remain incorrupt. ==Biography== She must have been born between the years 1095 - year of the marriage of their parents - and 1102. Daughter of Queen Urraca of León and Castile and Raymond of Burgundy, she was the sister of Alfonso VII of León and Castile, who inherited after their mother's death the throne of Castile and Leon. She grew up as well as with her mother, along with her aunts, the infantas Sancha and Elvira, daughters of Alfonso VI of León and Castile, who at the time enjoyed the possession of the Infantado, i.e. a set of distributed monasteries and churches throughout the kingdom, and the death of their own, which could only be unmarried infantas, had to return to the Crown, as in the case of the Infanta Sancha, who also held the office of Infantados of the kingdoms of Leon, Castile and Galicia.〔García Martínez (2005:84-45)〕 On the death of her mother, Queen Urraca in 1126, was succeeded by her son Alfonso VII who appointed his sister the Infanta Sancha Queen precedent that had sat his grandfather Alfonso VI to confer the title of queen to her sister the Infanta Urraca of Zamora.〔García Martínez (2005:80)〕 The Infanta-Queen Sancha then became one of the leading directors and employees of her brother the king, her name almost always appeared in public documents of her brother. In 1127, a year after the death of her mother, Infantado received from his brother, which made her mistress of several of the most important monasteries of the kingdom, including that of San Isidoro de León.〔Martin (2008:12)〕 First took possession of the Infantado of León, and later, those of Galicia and Asturias. Infantados inherited all that was in the Kingdom of León, and they were the Covarrubias, Valle del Torío, León, Tierra de Campos, El Bierzo and Asturias.〔González Flórez (1981:51-52)〕 In 1138 promoted the restoration of the Monasterio de Santa María de Carracedo, ceding it to the monks of the Monastery of Santa María de Valverde near Corullón. The Infanta Sancha in 1141 donated the monastery of Santa María de Wamba, now gone, with all its lands, villas, churches, estates and possessions to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, ''«pro redemptione omnium peccatorum meorum, pro salvatione anime mee, pro anima patris et matris mee et pro etiam anime domine Gelbire, mee amite»''.〔Martin (2008:16)〕 A donation to the Hospitallers in 1141 was such that during the following years, the contacts between the infanta and the Knights of St. John were almost always associated with this grant. The lands and places donated to the Hospitallers had been part of an Infantazgo that had belonged to Sancha's father, Count Raymond of Burgundy.〔Barquero Goñi(1994:15-16)〕 Seven years later, in 1148, she donated, to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, the Church of Santa Maria de Olmedo, and a year before, in 1147, founded the Monastery of Santa María de La Santa Espina, in the province of Valladolid, which foundation was confirmed by her brother King Alfonso a year later.〔Del Arco y Garay (1954:198)〕 In 1148, assembled the cortes of the kingdom in the city of Palencia, the Infanta-Queen Sancha received from her brother the emperor, the bishops and of the heroes of the kingdom to the Augustinian canons who lived in the Monasterio de Carbajal de la Legua be moved the Collegiate Church of San Isidoro de León, Pantheon of the Kings of Leon and at the same time, that the Benedictine nuns who lived in San Isidoro de León for over two hundred years be moved to the Monasterio de Carbajal de la Legua, fulfilling the infant with the order's own St. Isidore of Seville, in an appearance that had ordered him to leave the monastery.〔Viñayo González (1998:26)〕 In 1156 she donated to the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, the town of San Juan de Arenas, in the Asturian council of Siero, provided they never alienate,〔Barquero Goñi(1994:16-17)〕 and that same year, granted to the canons of St. Isidore of Leon the privilege, signed by her brother the king, that all men who wished vassals could declare the Monastery "by behetría right", i.e., could be incorporated into the jurisdiction of the monastery carrying all their possessions, but being dispensed from then to pay any tax to the king.〔González Flórez (1981:52-53)〕 Her brother Alfonso VII died the following year, in 1157, was succeeded on the throne of León by Ferdinand II of León and on the throne of Castile by Sancho III of Castile who only reigned for a year and succeeded by his only surviving son Alfonso VIII of Castile. Granted will in 1159, in which, among other provisions, ordered to reinstate San Isidoro de León all the possessions she had reserved for life, and had in the past belonged to the monastery of San Julián and Santa Basilisa of Ruiforco, and were assigned to San Isidoro de León from the time of Alfonso V of León. The heritage of the monastery of Ruiforco constituted the core of the Infantado de Torío and, due to the will of the Infanta Sancha, which was made effective by her nephew Ferdinand II of León, was definitely linked to San Isidoro de León.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sancha Raimúndez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
