Ferdinand II., king of Leon (d. 1188), was the son of Alfonso VII and ofBerenguela, of the house of the counts of Barcelona. On the division ofthe kingdoms which had obeyed his father, he received León. His reign ofthirty years was one of strife marked by no signal success or reverse. Hehad to contend with his unruly nobles, several of whom he put to death.During the minority of his nephew Alfonso VIII. of Castile he endeavouredto impose himself on the kingdom as regent. On the west he was in more orless constant strife with Portugal, which was in process of becoming anindependent kingdom. His relations to the Portuguese house must havesuffered by his repudiation of his wife Urraca, daughter of Alphonso I ofPortugal. Though he took the king of Portugal prisoner in 1180, he madeno political use of his success. He extended his dominions southward inExtremadura at the expense of the Moors. Ferdinand, who died in 1188,left the reputation of a good knight and hard fighter, but did notdisplay political or organizing faculty.
