Conde, sa de Barcelona
Consorte
Rey, reina de Aragón

Hija de Fernando IV de Castilla y León y Constanza de Portugal. Al año de nacer, cuando todavía no había nacido el futuro Alfonso XI, en 1308, su padre y el Rey de Aragón acordaron en el monasterio de Santa María de Huerta su futura boda con el primogénito de Jaime II de Aragón, Jaime. En estas primeras conversaciones ya se estipuló que, como dote de Leonor, Castilla obligaría a Aragón las poblaciones y castillos, entre otros, de Requena, Moya, Cañete, Ágreda y Lures. A su vez, Aragón prometió para el mantenimiento de la infanta castellana rentas en Huesca, Daroca, Castellón de Burriana, Játiva, Montblanc y Tárrega. En las vistas reales que se celebraron en Calatayud en 1312, la infanta fue confiada a Jaime II para que fuese educada en su Corte, siendo instalada en el palacio real de Valencia, en compañía de la infanta Violante, hija menor del Monarca aragonés, que tenía dos años de edad, con la que mantuvo siempre unas estrechas relaciones.

Leonor de Castilla (Burgos, Castilla, 1241-Harby, Nottinghamshire, 28 de noviembre de 1290) fue una infanta de Castilla por nacimiento y reina de Inglaterra por su matrimonio con Eduardo I.
Biografía
Fue la segunda de los tres hijos nacidos del segundo matrimonio de Fernando III el Santo con Juana de Danmartín, condesa de Ponthieu.[1]?[2]?[3]?

El 1 de noviembre de 1254, en el monasterio de Las Huelgas, en Burgos, se casó con el príncipe Eduardo de Inglaterra, futuro rey Eduardo I.[4]? La intención original de este matrimonio era sellar la paz entre Enrique III de Inglaterra -padre de Eduardo- y Alfonso X -medio hermano de Leonor-, por la posesión de Gascuña, en litigio desde que la hija de Enrique II, Leonor de Plantagenet y de Aquitania, la llevó en dote al casarse con Alfonso VIII en 1177. El rey inglés exigió el matrimonio entre Leonor y Eduardo como prueba de sincera voluntad de acabar con la guerra.
En 1270 acompañó a su marido a la Novena Cruzada.[5]?[a]? Leonor y su marido Eduardo, se encontraban todavía en Tierra Santa, durante la Novena Cruzada, cuando, a la muerte de su padre Enrique III, el 16 de noviembre de 1272,[6]? fueron proclamados rey y reina de Inglaterra.[1]? Sin embargo, la coronación tuvo lugar cuando volvieron de las Cruzadas.[1]? En Tierra Santa, Leonor fue una compañera abnegada y leal, hasta tal punto que, según la leyenda, llegó a salvar la vida de su esposo succionando el veneno de una víbora que había mordido a Eduardo.[6]? Acompañó a su esposo no sólo en las Cruzadas sino también en la conquista de Gales, dando a luz al menor de sus quince hijos, Eduardo (futuro Eduardo II), en el castillo de Caernarfon, en el mismo centro de Gales.

Eleanor of Castile (1241 - 28 November 1290) was Queen of England as the first wife of Edward I. She was educated at the Castilian court and also ruled as Countess of Ponthieu in her own right (suo jure) from 1279. After diplomatic efforts to secure her marriage and affirm English sovereignty over Gascony, 13-year-old Eleanor was married to Edward at the monastery of Las Huelgas, Burgos, on 1 November 1254. She is believed to have birthed a child not long after.

Fuller records of Eleanor's life with Edward start from the time of the Second Barons' War onwards, when Simon de Montfort's government imprisoned her in Westminster Palace. Eleanor took an active role in Edward's reign as he began to take control of Henry III's post-war government. The marriage was particularly close; Edward and Eleanor travelled together extensively, including the Ninth Crusade, during which Edward was wounded at Acre.[a] Eleanor was capable of influencing politics but died too young to have much effect.

In her lifetime, Eleanor was disliked for her property dealings; she bought up vast lands such as Leeds Castle from the middling landed classes after they went into arrears on loan repayments to Jewish moneylenders, and the Crown forced them to sell their bonds. These transactions associated Eleanor with the abuse of usury and the supposed exploitation of Jews, bringing her into conflict with the church. She profited from the hanging of over 300 Jewish alleged coin clippers and after the expulsion of the Jews in 1290, she gifted the former Canterbury Synagogue to her tailor. Eleanor died at Harby near Lincoln in late 1290; following her death, Edward built a stone cross at each stopping place on the journey to London, ending at Charing Cross, known as Eleanor crosses. This series of monuments may have included the renovated tomb of Little St Hugh - who was falsely believed to have been ritually murdered by Jews - to bolster her reputation as an opponent of supposed Jewish criminality.
