Ferdinand III King Of Castlie And Leon 
Ferdinand III was born in 1205. Ferdinand III's father was Alfonso VIII King of Castile and his mother was Berenguela Queen Of Castile. His paternal grandparents were Sancho III Alfonsez King Of Castile and Blanca Princess Of Navarre; his maternal grandparents were Alfonso VIII King of Castile and Eleanor Princess Of England. He had a brother and four sisters, named Alfonso, Blanche of, Berengaria, Constanza and Leonor. He had a half-sister named Berenguela.General Notes
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.
