Afonso I "the Conqueror" Henriques, King of Portugal
Son of Henrique de Borgonha, conde de Portugal and Teresa de Leão, condessa de Portugal
Afonso Henriques ( 1106 , 1109 or 1111 - 6 of December of 1185 ), also called Alfonso I , and nicknamed the "Conqueror", was the first King of Portugal . He became the "King of the Portuguese" from 1140 and reigned de jure from October 5, 1143, with the celebration of the Treaty of Zamora , until his death. [ 1 ] His role as sovereign is granted with the Pontifical Bull Manifestis Probatum of May 23, 1179. [ 2 ]Previously he was Count of Portucale , from 1112 until his independence from the Kingdom of Leon . He was Henrique's son , Count de Portucale and his wife Teresa de Leão , who, upon Count Henrique's death, "quickly ascends to the county government, which confirms the hereditary character that he had".

AFONSO Henriquez, son of HENRIQUE Conde de Portugal & his wife Teresa de Castilla y León (Guimaraes 25 Jul [1106/12]-Coimbra 6 Dec 1185, bur Coimbra, Church of the Cross). The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names (in order) "Urraca, Elvira and Afonso" as the children of Count Henrique & his wife[53]. The year in which Afonso was born is uncertain. Barbosa quotes a document dated “XVII Kal Oct” in 1173 which records the transfer of the body of San Vicente which states “Regni autem regis Alfonsi 45 vitæ vero eiusdem 67”, which would place his birth in 1106, and another document dated “era 1222” [1184] which records the death of “Rex Portugallensium doñus Alfonsus año vitæ suæ 78”[54]. The former would place his birth in [1106], and the latter in [1107/08] assuming that Alfonso´s death can be dated to 1185. Brandaõ quotes a breviary from Alcobaça which records the birth “era 1147” [1109] of “Aldefonsus primus rex Portugaliæ, filius comitis Henrici”, a manuscript about the works of San Fulgencio which records events in “era 1186 [1148]...37 ætatis annum et regni 19” [1110/11], and a historia dos Godos which records “era 1163 [1125] Infans Alfonsus Henrici comitis filius ætatis anno 14” [1111][55]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records the birth in 1151 (1113) of “Infans Alfonsus Comitis Henrici et Reginæ D. Tarasiæ filius, Regis D. Alfonsi nepos”[56], although a posthumous birth would probably have been noted. As can be seen, the full range of years from 1106 to 1112 is covered by these various contradictory sources. There appears no way of deciding which is more accurate than the others, although Brandaõ suggests that 1110 is correct. He succeeded his father in 1112 as AFONSO I Conde de Portugal. "…Infanta dna Sancia, Infans dns Adefonsus regis consanguineus…" subscribed the charter dated 13 Nov 1127 under which King Alfonso VII donated "el castillo de San Jorge en la Sierra del Pindo" to Santiago de Compostela[57]. It is probable that the second subscriber was Afonso de Portugal. Ruling through his mother, he overthrew and expelled her from Portugal in 1128. In 1135 he refused to swear homage to Alfonso VII King of Castile, from that time using the title 'Prince of Portugal'. He moved his capital to Coimbra. In 1139 he won a notable victory against the Muslims in Santarem who were reduced to tributary status. He proclaimed himself AFONSO I "the Conqueror" King of Portugal in 1139. His establishment of the archbishopric of Braga gave Portugal ecclesiastical independence. “Alfonsus, Portugaliæ rex, comitis Henrici et reginæ Theresiæ filius, magni quoque regis Alfonsi nepos…cum uxore mea regina donna Malfada, filia comitis Amedei de Moriana” confirmed donations to La Charité-sur-Loire by his father by charter dated Jul 1145[58]. He swore allegiance to the Pope, although Papal recognition of his title of king of Portugal was only given in 1179. He expanded his territory to the south, capturing Lisbon in 1147 with the help of a force of English, French and Flemish crusaders[59]. The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes records that "Aldefonsus" was buried "Coimbræ in Monasterio S. Crucis"[60]. The Chronicon Conimbricensi records the death “VIII Id Dec” in [1185] of “Rex Ildefonsus Portugalensis”[61]. married ([Jan/Jun] 1146) MATHILDE de Savoie, daughter of AMEDEE III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his first wife Adélaïde --- ([1125]-Coimbra 4 Nov 1157, bur Coimbra, Church of the Cross). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "Aldefonsus rex Portugallie" as "filia comitis Sabaudie" but does not name her[62]. The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes records the marriage of "Aldefonsum" and "Mafaldam filiam Comitis Maurienæ"[63]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records the marriage in 1183 (1145) of “Rex Donnus Alfonsus” and “Donnam Matildam, Comitis Amadæi de Moriana filiam”, adding that they had three sons, of whom two died young, and three daughters[64]. Brandaõ quotes a charter of the king dated 1146 which records “anno...quo duxeramt Mahaldam” and a charter dated Jul 1146 in which he records a donation “cum uxore mea Regina Dona Mafalda”[65]. Her origin was evidently not widely known in Portugal, as a Chronica Breve records that King Alfonso I married "dona Maffalda Manrique, filha do conde dom Manrrique de Lara e senhor de Mollina e de dona Ermesenda filha do Almerique primeiro senhor de Barbona"[66]. She was known as dona MAFALDA in Portugal. “Alfonsus, Portugaliæ rex, comitis Henrici et reginæ Theresiæ filius, magni quoque regis Alfonsi nepos…cum uxore mea regina donna Malfada, filia comitis Amedei de Moriana” confirmed donations to La Charité-sur-Loire by his father by charter dated Jul 1145[67]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records the death “III Non Dec” in 1196 (1158) of “Regina D. Matilda…Comitis Amadæi filia, uxor D. Alfonsi Portugallensium Regis”[68]. Mistress (1): ELVIRA Gualtar, daughter of ---. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Elvira Gualtar" as the mother of "D. Urraca Alonso, D. Teresa Alonso" daughters of "D. Alonso Enriquez"[69].
King Afonso I & his wife MATHILDE de Savoie had seven children:
1. Infante dom HENRIQUE de Portugal (5 Mar 1147-[before 1156]). Brandaõ quotes a manuscript about the works of San Fulgencio in the archives of Alcobaça which records the birth “III Non [Mar]” of “primogenitus...Henricus filius”, which from the context refers to March 1147[70].
2. Infanta dona MAFALDA de Portugal ([1149]-[1173/74]). A Chronica Breve names "dona Mafalda" first among the daughters of King Afonso I, adding that she married "comde Reymon de Barcelona" (although this source is inaccurate in other details)[71]. Betrothed ([30 Jan 1160]) to RAMÓN de Barcelona, Infante de Aragón, son of RAMÓN BERENGUER IV Conde de Barcelona & Petronilla Queen of Aragon (Villamayor del Valle, Huesca 1/25 Mar 1157-Perpignan 25 Apr 1195, bur Poblet, monastery of Nuestra Señora), who succeeded his father in 1162 as Conde de Barcelona and his mother in 1174 as don ALFONSO II King of Aragon.
3. Infanta dona URRACA de Portugal ([1151]-Valladolid 16 Oct 1188). The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Sancium et Urracam…et aliam filiam…Tarasia" as the children of "Aldefonsum" & his wife, specifying that Urraca married "Fernandi Regis Legionensis"[72]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records that “D. Orracam” daughter of “Rex Donnus Alfonsus” and his wife “Donnam Matildam, Comitis Amadæi de Moriana filiam” married “Regi Legionensium Donno Fernando”, adding in a later passage that they married in Aug 1209 (1171)[73]. The Crónica Latina records that “el rey Fernando” married “Urraca, hija de Alfonso rey de Portugal” but that they were related in the third degree of consanguinity[74]. "Regina Sancia comitis Raymundi et regine Urrache regia proles" donated an inn near Mucientes to Sahagún monastery by charter dated 15 Mar 1158, subscribed by "Regina Urracha de Asturias, Stephania Infantissa filia imperatoris…"[75]. The dating clause of a charter dated 13 Feb 1171 records "regnante Rege Donno F. in Legione, Galesia, Asturiis et Extrematus…cum uxore sua regina donna Urracha"[76]. Lucas de Tuy records that "Rex Fernandus" repudiated "uxorem suam Urracam filiam Regis Adefonsi, eo quod erat consanguinea eius propinquo gradu"[77]. married ([May/Jun] 1165, repudiated [Feb 1171/1172]) as his first wife, FERNANDO II King of León, son of ALFONSO VII "el Emperador" King of Castile and León & his first wife Berenguela de Barcelona (1137-Benavente 22 Jan 1188, bur Santiago de Compostela, Cathedral Santiago el Mayor).
4. Infanta dona SANCHA de Portugal ([1152/53]-14 Feb). Sousa says that the necrology of Santa Cruz de Coimbra records the death “14 Feb” of “Infanta D. Sancha” daughter of King Afonso I but does not quote the original text or give the precise citation reference[78].
5. Infante dom SANCHO Martino de Portugal (Coimbra 11 Nov 1154-Coimbra 26 Mar 1212, bur Coimbra, Church of the Cross). The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Sancium et Urracam…et aliam filiam…Tarasia" as the children of "Aldefonsum" & his wife[79]. He succeeded his father in 1185 as SANCHO I “o Poblador” King of Portugal.
6. Infante dom JOÃO ([1156]-25 Aug ). Brandaõ quotes the necrology of Santa Cruz de Coimbra which records the death “VIII Kal Sep” of “Ioannes infans donni Alfonsi regis Portugalliæ et donnæ Mafaldæ reginæ filius”[80].
7. Infanta dona TERESA de Portugal ([1157]-drowned off Furnes, Flanders 6 May 1218, bur Abbaye de Clairvaux, Jura). The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Sancium et Urracam…et aliam filiam…Tarasia" as the children of "Aldefonsum" & his wife, specifying that Teresa married "Philippo Comiti Flandriæ et Hannoniæ" and died childless[81]. The Chronicon Lusitanum records that “D. Tarasiam” daughter of “Rex Donnus Alfonsus” and his wife “Donnam Matildam, Comitis Amadæi de Moriana filiam” married “Consuli Flandrensium D”[82]. Known as TERESA from birth, she adopted the name MAFALDA in [1173/74] after the death of her older sister of that name, and was later known as MATHILDE. Senhora de Montemayor el Viejo e Ourem. The Flandria Generosa specifies that on her (first) marriage she was given "Insulam et Duacum et plures…villas…iacentes, Caslethuin, Watenes, Bergas, Burburgium, totamque maritimmam regionem"[83]. The Flandria Generosa names "Mathildis regine Portusequalis" as wife of Count Philippe, specifying that she arranged the repatriation of her husband's body to "Claramvallem"[84]. After the death of her husband, she received her widow's portion in southern and coastal Flanders but increased taxes so much that she provoked rebellions at Veurne [Furnes] and the castellany of Bourbourg[85]. A charter dated 1195 records an agreement between the French king and "M. regina comitissa Flandrie" which records that the latter promised not to remarry after separating from "Odone duce Burgundie"[86]. The Flandria Generosa records that she was "amita" of "Fernando filio regis Portusequalis" and instrumental in arranging his marriage to her first husband's great-niece Jeanne Ctss of Flanders[87]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1218 of "comitissa vetus de Flandria relicta comitis Philippi" and her burial next to her husband at Clairvaux[88]. She died when her carriage accidentally fell into a marsh near Furnes[89]. married firstly (Aug 1183) as his second wife, PHILIPPE Count of Flanders, son of THIERRY I Count of Flanders & his second wife Sibylle d'Anjou (-Acre 1 Jul 1191, bur Abbaye de Clairvaux, Jura). married secondly (1193, divorced on grounds of consanguinity 1195) as his first wife, EUDES III Duke of Burgundy, son of HUGUES III Duke of Burgundy & his first wife Alix de Lorraine (1166-Lyon 6 Jul 1218, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux).
King Afonso I had [two] illegitimate children by Mistress (1): ELVIRA Gualtar
8. URRACA Afonso de Portugal The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Elvira Gualtar" as the mother of "D. Urraca Alonso, D. Teresa Alonso" daughters of "D. Alonso Enriquez"[90]. The Livro Velho records that "Pero Affonso", son of "D. Moço Veegas", married "D. Urraca Affonso filha d´elrey D. Afonso o primeiro…e de Eluira Gualter"[91]. Salazar y Castro records her marriage, adding that she was the sister of Sancho II (presumably an error for Sancho I) King of Portugal and that the couple´s daughter married don Pedro Rodríguez Girón (see the document CASTILE NOBILITY)[92]. married PEDRO Afonso, son of AFONSO Egas "Moço" de Riba Douro & his wife doña Aldara [Ilduara] Pérez de Traba.
9. [TERESA Afonso de Portugal The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Elvira Gualtar" as the mother of "D. Urraca Alonso, D. Teresa Alonso" daughters of "D. Alonso Enriquez", and in a later passage records that “D. Fernan Mendez el Bravo Bragançon” married “D. Teresa Alonso”, adding that the king separated her from her previous husband “don Sancho Nuñez” with whom he had fought, and that she brought “la tierra de Bragança” to her second husband but that it reverted to the crown because she died childless[93]. As discussed more fully above, this passage echoes the marriages of the sisters of King Afonso I and is probably inaccurate as written. It is not known whether this also means that the king´s illegitimate daughter named Teresa never existed.]
King Afonso I had three illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:
10. FERNANDO Afonso de Portugal (-after Aug 1172). The Livro Velho names "D. Fernando Affonso" as the son of King Alfonso I by "D. Chamoa", daughter of "el conde D. Gomes de Pombeiro" and his wife "filha del conde D. Pero Peres de Trava", and wife of "D. Payo Soares, filho de D. Soeiro Mendes o bom e de D. Gontroude Moniz que era filha del conde D. Monio de Biscaya"[94]. Brandaõ quotes a charter dated 1166 for Santa Cruz de Coimbra which records a donation confirmed by King Alfonso I and “Fernandus Alfonsi filius eius, Comes Velascus filius sororis eius...”[95]. Alferes 1166-69.
11. PEDRO Afonso de Portugal (-after May 1206, bur Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria de Alcobaça). Maestre of the Order of Aviz: “...Petrus proles Regis Par Francorum et Magister novæ militiæ...” subscribed the charter dated 1162 issued by the Cistercians which confirmed the rules of the Order of Aviz, in the presence of “regis Aldephonsi” donated “loco illo...Avis” to its monks by charter[96]. “Petrus Alfonsi filius magni regis Alfonsi Portugalliæ” donated property near “villa de Tomar” to the abbot of Alcobaça by charter dated May 1206[97]. Monk in monastery of Alcobaça 1206.
12. AFONSO Afonso de Portugal (-Santarem 1 Mar 1207, bur São João Santarem). Brandaõ says that he was an illegitimate son of King Afonso I but does not quote the primary source which confirms this statement[98]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Knight of the Order of St John of Jerusalem 1194. Grand Master of the Order of St John of Jerusalem 1202-04. Sousa quotes an epitaph at São João de Santarem which records the death “Era 1235 Kal Mar” of “Alphonsus magister Hospitalis Hierusalem”[99].
Afonso Henriques King of Portugal, by Wikipedia
After the death of his father in 1112, Afonso took a political position opposite to that of his mother, who had allied herself with the Galician nobleman Fernão Peres de Trava . Intending to ensure the dominance of the county, he became a knight and after defeating his mother in the battle of São Mamede , in 1128, he assumed the government. [ 4 ] He then concentrated his efforts on obtaining recognition as a kingdom. In 1139, after the victory in the battle of Ourique against a Moorish contingent, D. Afonso Henriques proclaimed himself from 1140 King of the Portuguese with the support of his followers, being recognized his independence from the Kingdom of Leão with the Treaty of Zamora . The Portuguese independence was granted in 1179 by Pope Alexander III , through the bull Manifestis Probatum and awarded the title of rex (king). [ 4 ]
With the support of Crusaders from Northern Europe, he conquered Lisbon in 1147 . With the internal pacification, the conquests to the Moors continued , pushing the borders to the south, from Leiria to the Alentejo , more than doubling the territory he had inherited. The Muslims called it ibne Arrique ("son of Henry", literal translation of the patronymic Henriques ) [ 5 ] or Bortucali ("the Portuguese").
First Years
Afonso Henriques was the son of D. Henrique de Borgonha who was the grandson of King Roberto II of France and D. Teresa, Infanta de Leão , illegitimate daughter of King Afonso VI de Leão and Castile , to whom Afonso VI donated the county of Portucale for wedding. The date and place of your birth are not unambiguously determined. Nowadays, the date with the greatest consensus points to the summer of 1109. Some authors defend Viseu as the birthplace of D. Afonso Henriques, given that the mother is documented in this village around this year, [ 6 ] and still the probability of being born in August [ 7 ][ 8 ] while other authors, based on documents dating back tothe 13th century,refer to the date of 25 July of the same year. However, other dates and places for the birth of the first king of Portugal have already been defended, such as the year 1106 or 1111 (hypothesis advanced byAlexandre Herculanoafter his reading of the "Crónica dos Godos"). [ 9 ] Traditionally, it is believed that he was born and raised inGuimarães, where he lived until 1128. [ note 1 ] Other authors also refer toCoimbraas a likely place for his birth. [ 11 ] [12 ] [ 13 ]
The Education of the Infant
Afonso was handed over by his parents, as proof of confidence, to a powerful magnate, Egas Moniz IV from Ribadouro , who was supposed to educate him. Egas Moniz welcomed Afonso on his farms in Cresconhe and Britiande , [ 14 ] receiving, for this task, the epithet O Aio . There is even speculation about the possibility that he was actually the son of his master. [ 15 ] [ note 2 ]
The infant was growing in age and good nature due to the education of Egas Moniz. The medieval nobility of Count D. Pedro , when referring to Lourenço , Egas' firstborn son, does not fail to mention that this Lourenço Viegas was the one who loved King Afonso, first king of Portugal, very much, he only called him brother. , because his father Egas Moniz had created him , highlighting the intimacy and affection he enjoyed on the part of Afonso Henriques. [ 17 ] The creation of Afonso Henriques was also a probable reason for Afonso , Aio's second son, who also grew up with the infant and was probably younger than him, to become precisely known as O Moçoto distinguish him from Afonso Henriques.
Political context of the Portucalense County, 1112-1127
Teresa de Leão, mother of Afonso Henriques, queen countess of Portugal, represented in a manuscript of the Galician monastery of Toxosoutos Afonso had been orphaned by a father when he was only three years old (probably because the date of birth is disputed). In fact, the infant's father died in Astorga , on May 12, 1112. As a natural successor to her husband and her co-governor since her creation in 1096, Teresa commanded the destinies of the Portucalense County alone. One of his most important ambitions was to see his status recognized as a legitimate heir to his father, Afonso VI de Leão and Castile (as, moreover, his sister Urraca de Leão and Castile ). For that, he revolted several times against his sister and undertook great conquests to the east, even reaching the title of Queen of Portugal , in his own right, from 1116 onwards, being recognized as such by thePope Paschal II , for his sister, Urraca de Leão and, later, for his nephew Afonso VII de Leão . He even signed as Ego regina Taresia de Portugal regis Ildefonssis filia . [ 19 ] [ 20 ]
However, due to Urraca de Leão's death in 1126, Afonso VII succeeds him on the throne , who reopens the title of emperor of all his grandfather's Hispania , thus seeking the vassalage of the remaining peninsular states, including among them the Portucalense County , which has long demonstrated autonomist tendencies.
In the County, the entry of two brothers, Galician magnates, Bermudo Peres de Trava and Fernão Peres de Trava , would disturb the already fragile stability that Teresa had managed to promote. They would probably be interventionists of the Galician leaders Pedro Froilaz de Trava (father of the two magnates) and Diego Gelmírez, Archbishop of Santiago , who were interested in stopping the action of the Queen of Portugal, who, if he had fought so far ferociously, began to let himself tangle in the ruse. [ 14 ]In fact, the influence that the Trava brothers had on the queen of Portugal was strong enough to even remove Afonso Henriques' aide from his government positions in important cities like Coimbra and Lamego , which are handed over to the Galicians.
The First Incitements to the Revolt, 1120-1128
It is understandable in this way that Egas Moniz began not to look favorably on the two Galicians, much less the bad government that Teresa was beginning to lead: Fernão Peres de Trava even appeared in the documentation as a prince consort (which he was not). Thus, as one of the main victims of the bad decisions that the queen was beginning to make, he was responsible for the first tumultuous agitations of the nobility. This submission by Teresa led Egas Moniz, head of the restless Portuguese nobility and guardian of the future of Portugal, now threatened, in the person of the infant, to place all hopes on his protégé.
Probably by this time, Afonso may have started to notice something different in his educator, who was probably informing him of the growing problems facing the county court. Often he must have painted the subjection in which Portugal was retreating on the path of almost achieved liberation, the increasing dependence of the Galicians to which Portugal was subject in the person of its queen. The infant that Egas had created and now incited to revolt, despite his still young age, was thus also affected by the coming of the Galician magnates, who came to be presented to him as his enemies and those who most threatened his inheritance.
Around 1120, at about eleven years old, Afonso left the patios of his Aio to join the court, where he confirmed documentation with his mother until 1127, in a higher position than Fernão Peres de Trava . [ 21 ]
With the increased influence of the Archbishop of Braga D. Paio Mendes , Afonso took, probably for the first time, a political position opposite to that of his mother, increasingly influenced by the Travas , who intended to take the sovereignty of the Galician-Portuguese space. The archbishop, forced to leave the Shire, took the infant with him. On the day of Pentecost 1125, a knight was armed in the Cathedral of Zamora . [ 22 ]
Afonso Henriques showed his rebellion against his mother more openly from the beginning of December 1127, in the couto letter to the chapel of S. Vicente de Fragoso; in May of the following year, Egas Moniz again supports his pupil's new rebellions (such as the charter to Constantim de Panoias, and perhaps the donation of Dornelas to the Order of the Hospital ), having previously, as a result of the delicate situations of the rebels, taken the pupil to feigned reconciliations with the mother.
Final Periodː the Regency of the Children, 1169-1185
After the Siege of Badajoz of 1169, in which Afonso would have been seriously affected as a result of a wound in his leg [ 4 ], a regency council was established to govern on behalf of the disabled king. The regency was in charge of the king's sons who were still in the kingdom at that time: the infants Sancho and Teresa de Portugal . It also appears quite frequently in the documentation of this time, with them, a bastard, who acquired here a status equivalent to that of a legitimate infant: Fernando Afonso. Despite being Sancho the head of the regency, several confirmations of him still in life by Afonso Henriques denounce the strong presence of this bastard and the desire, on the part of the court nobility, to render Fernando unusable and consolidate the regency of Sancho. [ 44 ] In September 1172 Fernando began to serve the regent, according to a donation to Monsanto on that date, in which Afonso I suggested for the first time a female succession in Teresa. [ 45 ] As of 1173, Afonso Henriques seems to partially realize this possibility by handing over the joint regency of the kingdom to Sancho and Teresa, declaring them joint heirs and with their own home. [ 46 ]
Afonso Henriques would dedicate himself to helping his children, probably even more Teresa, in the area of territorial administration. However, and despite the fact that his military career ended, the prestige and authority he had attained remained unscathed.
From 1174 onwards, Afonso definitively distanced himself from the affairs of the kingdom, most likely due to illness, the role of the corregentes being even more prominent. Teresa and Sancho shared the governmentː Teresa performed administrative functions and Sancho took care of the war activity. Corregência would remain in place until 1184, when Flemish emissaries from Philip, Count of Flanders , came to obtain consent from Sancho for Teresa's marriage to him. Before leaving, Teresa made an agreement with Sancho to leave him as the only successor.
Death and Legacy
Tomb of Afonso Henriques at the Santa Cruz Monastery in Coimbra Afonso died on December 6, 1185, at his residence in Coimbra . He was 76 years old, and the cause of death is still not currently consensual, and may be associated with heart problems, senility , atherosclerosis or cirrhosis . [ 50 ] His tomb is in the Monastery of Santa Cruz , in Coimbra , in front of what would become the tomb of his son Sancho .
