 King of Castile+Leon Saint Fernando III
He was the son of Alfonso IX, King of Leon, and of Berengeria, the daughter of Alfonso III, King of Castile, and sister of Blanche, the mother of St. Louis IX.
In 1217 Ferdinand became King of Castile, which crown his mother renounced in his favour, and in 1230 he succeeded to the crown of Leon, though not without civil strife, since many were opposed to the union of the two kingdoms.
He took as his counsellors the wisest men in the State, saw to the strict administration of justice, and took the greatest care not to overburden his subjects with taxation, fearing, as he said, the curse of one poor woman more than a whole army of Saracens.

 Ancestors of Eugene Ashton ANDREW & Anna Louise HANISH King Alfonso III ASTURIAS ANDREW ANGERMUELLER HANISH STRUDELL ...
When political troubles arose in Cordoba after the death of the emir Muhammad I in 886, Alfonso took the offensive against the Moors and extended the borders of his kingdom as far south as the Duero River and as far east as Osma.
His reign was marked by considerable development of neo-Visigothic traditionalism, whcih claimed that the rulers of Asturias were direct descendants of the ancient Toledan royal line and stressed their duty to proceed to the early and complete reconquest of Spain; this tradition was reflected in two contemporary chronicles, `Chronica Visigothorum' and `Chronica Albeldense'.
Alfonso also began the process of colonizing the lands stretching southward to the Duero that had been depopulated for so long.
